I feel bad for you son. They're like $30 for a pack of two here.

I know, I see them on eBay and Amazon all the time. 

35... f-for one fan.. jesus.. You can buy a computer case with that..

Ehh... Corsair SP120 fans are $60 a pack (2). This won't be all that different, I think I have something like $300 in fans in my 900D at the moment.  

it was relevant, attention drawing, and did what it was supposed to incredibly well! TV series is about a post WWII era where Germany won the war... It's bloody good too. 

AMD's CPU division is in the shitter right now. Zen's gonna be their hail Mary.

 

Radeon, on the other hand, is just fine (mostly). So when you say AMD/ATI, that really means the GPUs, where they're losing market share but still okay.

Gained 0.8% market share last quarter....

who uses razer?

all about corsair

... or for the poor people.. logitech.. like me

I have to say... I love my Deathadder Chroma, and Blackwidow Ultimate Chroma.... 

hope it's like majority of chinese reseller that don't add shipping fees for Europe

Shipping fees out of China are minimal anyway... Wouldn't worry about it. 

sure, how their site presents it may look like how Apple does it, but the devices themselves, they don't give me an iPad/iPhone feel

Usage certainly wouldn't... I'm actually excited about the tablet, and may even get one myself. 

nope

I was just looking at the colour offering, marketing collateral, background photo used, and design thinking it's very Apple like the whole time. Not a bad thing, Apple does what they do extremely well. 

It seems ComCast are on a real role of dick moves recently....

Did anyone else take a look at the photos and think they were looking at a new iPad and iPhone? 

Would this be enough?

Had no idea you were a fellow NZer. FSP should be fine, it has 4x 6+2 connectors as well. 

Hi there. Sorry, what do you mean by PCIe lanes?

Hi Tiger, sorry... It's probably me just being confusing. PCI plugs on your PSU. Graphics cards have their own special type of pins, so you'll want to make sure that your PSU can support two sets of 8+6 pins for Crossfire. 

Something like this would be perfect: http://www.corsair.com/en/rm-series-rm850-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply

Use Linux!

 

You can install a trial of Windows 7 or 8.1 or 10 (I believe) and use it as a trial for 90 days, unsure whether you can still do this. I did it for a while.

You still can. Technically it will continue to work without updates past the 90 days as well. 

Well I'm wanting to boot Windows from the SSD without wiping my C: drive. 

Install windows on the SSD, then set your boot drive to the SSD in the motherboard BIOS. 

pretty sure you have to download a ISO and mount it on a USB, they don't send you a disc 

They'll send you a key. Download the ISO using the windows media creation tool and create a bootable USB. 

ok, how do i use it?

When you install the windows ISO from a bootable disc or USB, enter the key in the setup process. 

750W is enough, but I'd suggest going for a good 850W for plenty of headroom and upgrades. 

The CX series is designed for low cost, basic builds. I would recommend upgrading the PSU to a HX, RM, or AX series. 750W Would be more than enough. 

My take on this is get rid of 16GB, 32 should be a minimum.... But no one ever needs 128GB or 256GB phones (unless you're the selfie queen/king with nowhere else to store your photos?) 

Should all photographers also be made to use the default "Neutral" colour profile on their cameras too? I mean, we don't want the camera's built in processing to effect the integrity of the images either, now do we?

By 2020 they'll be forcing their photogs to shoot in auto so they don't artistically alter the image. 

Doritos?

1080p

You'll be fine buddy. I run GTA V and Skyrim Hi-res on 3440x1440p with 3.5Gb VRAM

I personally contemplated what you're going through now and have looked at most options so I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can. 

I'm personally running SLI 970, Acer Predator X34 so similar to your setup (within reason). 

What you're going to want:

• IPS - If you're going for a tri-screen or ultrawide setup, your viewing angles are going to cause colour distortion on TN panels. 
• 1080p monitors would be cheaper, and best. A single Ti gaming on 7680x1440p isn't going to be a great experience.
• 27" is the way to go, I had a triple 24" 1080 setup and I was left wanting something larger. 
• 100Hz is more than enough, and driving 1440p at 100Hz with a Ti would be difficult. And 5760x1080p is going to be just as hard. 

I would highly recommend looking at the ultrawide options over a 3x27". 

In the end, I went with the Acer Predator X34 1440p ultrawide and don't regret it, I've moved to a single screen and it has more than enough real estate for everything I do. If you're going to chose, Asus have a great Ultrawide coming out in early '16 and BenQ to my knowledge have a great 1080p ultrawide as well. 

I quote Reuters directly :

 

 

Better to have the image than a perfect image.  News photography has no second chances.

I wouldn't call colour correction "Artistic". And no, typically news photographers don't have second chances because of the time pressure they're under to submit images and stories. But for those of us who have the luxury of time, we would like to submit a photo that represents the quality of our work and representative of the scene we saw when we took the photo.

This is artistic, and I can't help but think that this is what the policy is trying to stop:

The point is they don't want any editing if possible.  JPEG discourages such things.  Also, you can shoot RAW all you want, just set your cam to record both at once and send the JPEG over.  If anyone wants to buy the image from Reuters, they can probably sell a RAW copy for easier editing and higher res work.  Newspapers rarely print anything hi res and JPEGs are totally fine.

Not really, JPEG on the whole for minor tweaks outside of light levels, and gamma are fine.

What I was heading towards with my point is that sometimes what we shoot on the camera is not representative of the scene we saw with our eyes thanks to the settings we used at the time. This is not so important with a static scene as we can shoot again, but what about that eagle or hawk that we were shooting where the composition was perfect but the light levels or colour are duller than it actually was. Are we not allowed to correct for the errors we made in the haste of shooting the image?  

Wait, I dont exactly understand.. They want photographers to not submit RAWs because.. They take too long to receive? Or because it doesn't look real? I read these quotes twice but I still don't understand..

No, I see this as a way of them thinking that RAW is photoshop master and by having to shoot from the camera in JPEG they're somehow making sure that the photos aren't edited which is pointless. 

RAW is a file that allows lighting levels, contrast, and colour to be tweaked more easily (in layman terms) so that you can make the photo more realistic if you stuffed up the settings at the time, all the other stuff is just as easily done on a JPEG image. This policy is dumb, I can't help but feel that someone that has no understanding of photography, RAW, and Photoshop made this policy.
