    Amature_m8 got a reaction from razaldo in DIY headphone amp - CMOY   
    If you are like me and don't have the cash to drop on a expensive headphone amp making your own is a great choice you have the skills. 
    I was looking for a headphone amp the other day for my new pair of headphones and the only decent ones costed $100+. So i decides to look around for a tutorial to make one and came across a one from tangentsoft from http://tangentsoft.net/audio/cmoy/ . The page is very detailed, so i made my own with parts off ebay and my local electronics store. I also decided to buy a DAC pcb off ebay to add to the amp to create a dac/amp. 
    I recommend it to anyone two knows how to solder well or want to get into it, there isnt much to learn, just follow the page from tangetsoft. Have Fun

    This guide is also worth checking out if you want a desktop amp: http://www.instructables.com/id/Crystal-cMoy-Free-Form-Headphone-Amplifier/
     
    It looks absolutely amazing too.

    Don't run games across 2 monitors (3 would be better) and definitely not different sizes.
     
    But it will run fine besides that.

    You could wait for the LG G4 and even thought it hasn't changed much for the previous Xperia Z4. 
    The Z series from Sony I've always like because of the long battery life, waterproof, decent screen and great camera.
    If Sony improves on all of these with the Z4 it might replace my Nexus 5

    The Sensei is slightly bigger in width and height but smaller in length. If you want a bigger mouse, I'd take a look at SteelSeries Rival.

    Hm... A strong vote for se215. I`ll look more careful into those. Maybe I`ll love 'em too

    Amature_m8 reacted to Johannes_Lazor in My 2000th post, So im uploading my Rig, Me and my familys cars, And a picture of me for those who want to put a face on me.   
    As i said, This is my 2000th post, So i decided to make it a bit more personalised since i have spent alot of time here




    Here is my rig, It is a fairly low-end machine But it suits me fine for now since i mostly play Minecraft, Skyrim and browse the web most of the time.



    CPU: AMD A6-6400K Overclocked to 5Ghz - CPU-z Validated http://valid.canardpc.com/svt803- I have not seen temps higher than 60 degrees.
    I will upgrade to a 760k as soon as some supplier are sending more here to sweden, Or i can get one second hand.

    GPU: Asus GTX 660 DCII - It is Overkill for my CPU, The GPU only reaches 50-70% load on most games. The only games i have played that was able to really push my PC is Skyrim(Heavily modded) And The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter.

    RAM: Kingston HyperX Genesis 1600Mhz 2x4Gb(Total of 8gb)

    Motherboard: MSI FM2-A55M-E33 - I bought it becouse it was the cheapest.

    And some random black midtower, It had a Zalman fan in the front(Which died, Some of the coils broke so it started to vibrate)


    Here is some pictures of my Rig:

    I will wait before I get the keyboard before I get o-rings, just in case.
    If I do I will probably get some form eBay or something

    Hey there nothing wrong with making you pc look cool. Even if it's not perfectly optimized, as long as your having fun who cares! :-)
    I think you can still have the aerocools on top. Just try to keep them at low rpm.

    You could take away you exaust fan, and leave that to the rad. Let the rad fans do thir thing. A set the aerocool fans to 1500rpm (the highest), they are very queit at 23.4 dBa. 
    If you dont want to take out the back exaust fan, you can just set it to 500rpm or something lower.

    Amature_m8 got a reaction from ApexTypeA in Which GTX 980 to buy TODAY!   
    I would suggest another 970 just because the GPU scaling isn't that bad and out performs a single 980. 
    If you are still going for a single 980, The Evga 980 FTW ACX 2.0 is a pretty solid option ( http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-2986-KR) It has great reviews and great support.
    It doesn't have a back plate, but yea. If you wanted one you can buy one from them and put one on yourself.
