So, who can we send hate mail to??? Lets do a LTT Forum members revenge plan!
 
#ProbablyNotAGoodIdea

On June 28, 2016 the Linus Media Group domain registrar account was compromised.
 
The exact methodology of the "hack" won't be disclosed for obvious reasons, but I can assure you that despite any claims to the contrary, the appropriate safeguards were in place on our side, and as I type this Yvonne is having a very heated phone discussion with the 3rd party responsible for the breach.
 
Anyway, the thing most of you are probably wondering about right now is what this means for your forum account or personal information, and the answer is very simple:
 
NOTHING.
 
The "hacker" simply changed the DNS settings in the dashboard and did not at any time have access to the linustechtips.com server. Any claims of a database dump are categorically false.
 
The compromised accounts - including Twitter - have been restored.
 
I hope this clears things up.

Finally they did it! 

Thanks for labeling it as a pre-roll landing page.

We have a review coming soon for these drives, but for now we can tell you that these are RIDICULOUSLY fast drives that are going to deliver a performance level we have never seen before on consumer drives.

Without them it would be prohibitively expensive for us to come to the show and bring you guys this content, so I'd like to express my sincere gratitude towards our sponsors because they (and you) make it possible for us to keep doing what we love to do, which is arguably one of the coolest jobs in the world.
 
 
All three have been great partners and asked for pretty much nothing other than mentions in our videos, which gives us the freedom to create the content we feel you guys will enjoy.
 
Huge thanks again to our three sponsors :')
 
 

Our first sponsor this year is Sennheiser. We use Sennheiser audio equipment at all of our shows, and we could not be happier to have them represented as a key aspect of our NAB Show coverage this year. To check out their full line of creator-focused audio technology head over to this link.
 
 

Up next we have Kingston Technologies and their full line of SD cards! Kingston has been a supporter of our channel, and specifically our event coverage, for a long time now, and we ALWAYS appreciate having them on. They have a full line of SD cards that are fantastic for consumers and pros alike. We use them here at Linus Media Group both in studio and on the road. Check out their full lineup here.
 

And finally we have the always awesome lynda.com! As another long-time supporter of our content, we could not be happier to have them on - especially on a show that meshes so well with what lynda.com provides. If you're looking for tips or training to become a content creator yourself, then look no further. Head over to lynda.com/NAB to grab your free trial of their online education service and start learning today!

If you dont need HT an i5 is a good choice to buy new!
I wouldn't buy an used overclockable CPU, a Xeon would be the safer bet but if you can go with something new!

That was my first idea, but I went the GPU way, check it now: it can even handle more ram in the future!

What software are you going to use? Do you need more CPU or GPU Power?
Have not checked stock on the stores you want, but this looks like a really nice PC with more GPU power than CPU (includes Monitor and everything):

Vessel is a pain to search for a video, is there any notification service?

All the Drones hype, Oculus rift and similar VR things and huge screen smartphones appeal are a mystery for me...

Compared to HDD of course it is expensive, It is meant to replace high end SSD raid0 setups, offering better performance and comparable size!

Will do!

Its just a small battery you have to replace, something like this: (location may vary)
