    Lol. I have four 250GB SSDs in Raid 0 for my gaming rig. I don't even have a hard drive. Load times and transferring speed is great. If you have the money why not have a larger capacity of SSD space.

    I would want to change the PSU on all but the $2250 build. Also, take that V300 out of there, it's an awful SSD ($600 build)
     
    The issue with these sorts of builds is that they're not catered to an individual, and they're created using today's prices. We had some people trying to create something similar, but it just wouldn't work because the builds basically kind of fit a general need, but didn't cater to anyone specific. Building for individual needs works better every time.

    Laptop screens usually use LVDS, and every producer has its own proprietary configuration that gets adapted internally to eDP or whatever the case may be. It's a lot more complicated than you think. Just buy a 21" monitor.

    xboxonthego3 reacted to GoodBytes in Microsoft Lumia 950/950XL camera is jaw dropping impressive [56K Modem Warning - Super large images]   
    ** All images bellow have been shrinked by 25% for slow internet users. Click on them to see full size and from the original source (MS servers) **
    I urge you to click and see the original size.
    The Lumia team made a blog post 2 days ago, in the Microsoft Devices blog showcasing the camera in the Microsoft coming new phone the Lumia 950 XL (the 950 has the same camera). Nokia Lumia phones have always (well excluding the low end models) been known for their camera. And the treand continues by pushing the envelope with the Lumia team now part of Microsoft.
     
    (click to zoom - image here reduced by 25%)

    While no full details is given yet, Lumia phone camera are good because they don't mind putting a large and really good sensor. That is why the Lumia 950 and 950XL have their camera protruding outside while not being a thin phone like the iPhone.
     
    The camera features a 20-megapixel with advanced BSI sensor made by Sony, ISO12800, and features a F1.9 Zeiss optics, and triple-LED flash light to be able to adjust the color of the flash for natural white color, and avoids red eyes. The camera features an image stabilization system which the company calls 'fifth-generation optical image stabilization'. (The front camera is 5-megapixel wide-angle camera. What is showcased here is the back camera).
    Moreover, the Lumia team have been really good at post processing the image, just to make the camera appear even better.
     
    Noticed from the picture above on how the red is vivid and 'rich', while the skin tone of the person is natural with no noise or artifacts.
     

      How about up close images (micro). Lumia team shows that off as well, and under low light conditions:
     
    (click to view full size)

     
    Notice the texture of the leafs, the richness of the color green which not being oversaturate image.
     
    (click to view full size)

    Notice that despite being in a low light environment, the skin tone is perfect, you can even see the hair on the skin, and veins on the eyes, and even the texture of the skin.
     
    But how about a truly low light environment, in an environment that is more realistic to most consumers usage?
    The Lumia team is not afraid of showing this. No setups, no perfectly planned image, or anything like that.
    Of course, that would mean a sever cut in niceness normally, and while we can see this, the camera is still shine.
     
    Bellow picture shows a normal picture, of a co-worker of the Lumia team, in a restaurant in the evening.
    We now start to see noise on the picture. But notice that it still retains the details of the skin of the person, colors, and continues to look 'life like'
     
    (click for giant-o-vision)

     
    The person that took the image (Juha Alakarhu, the author of the blog post), shows another image with what he says is a competing phone.

     
     

       
     

       
    As mentioned, the camera has 3 LED flash on it. It uses red green and blue LED flash which automatically matches the ambient of the environment, which is what helps achieve these beautiful pictures under low light environment.
     

       
    (once again, click for larger)

     
    The camera takes 2 pictures every time you press the phone dedicated camera picture button. One with flash, and the other without, when using Rich Capture mode, and takes the best of both. They call this algorithm: Dynamic Flash.

    I don't know about you guys, but these are just jaw dropping to me, and to have the courage to show case the camera in a real world situation, under worst case (ok well worst case situation is probably pitch black room, but realistic worst case), showing the camera under it's worst situation, and it looks THAT good, and this is a smart phone, not a digital camera, that, to me, is just incredible.
