I believe you will need to add the protocol to the beginning. So "http://website.com/image.jpg"

Try the standard C++ way in the top answer of this post. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/332111/how-do-i-convert-a-double-into-a-string-in-c Then once it's a string you can just get the char at the end of the string and convert to an int (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5029840/convert-char-to-int-in-c-and-c for conversion to an int value. C++ by default converts to its ASCII value). Something like below I think would work (note I didn't test any of this) #include <sstream> double dbl = 1.23456; std::ostringstream strs; strs << dbl; std::string strDbl = strs.str(); int lastDigit = strDbl.at(strDbl.length() - 1) - '0';

So I'm doing 2 builds for friends right now. Both for 1080p (with no plans to upgrade), both for gaming on single monitor, and both wanting something that will last for quite a few years on at least med-high settings. Last night I saw the EVGA 970 SSC ATX2.0 for $240 on B Stock and ordered 2 (1 for each build). I know the benefit of the 390 is the VRAM, but at this price point (with builds happening in 1-2 weeks), is this something too good to pass up? Just trying to decide if I should cancel before they ship later today. I feel like the 390 is not worth $80-90 more and $240 is a great price. Both budgets were in the $300 range for graphics cards. Thanks in advance.

What do you intend to do with the build? Also you have 2 CPU coolers on the 6700k build.

I have the G600 and you can turn the blue off or change it to any color you want. It's got RGB lighting controllable through the Logitech software. It is a moderately large mouse (although I have small hands) and has a ring finger button which I really like. If you have a Best Buy, they should have one out on display in their gaming peripherals section. Overall I really like mine. I also felt like the buttons were easier to distinguish than the Razer Naga.

I'm doing a build for a friend who wants to dual boot Windows and Mac for software development purposes. I figured that having 2 SSDs would work best for this with 1 OS per drive. If I were to add a HDD formatted in exFAT for file storage, would it be able to work with both OSes without issue? I figure it should since exFAT is read/write for both Windows and Mac. I know you can have a flash drive formatted to exFAT so you can go between OSes, so why not an internal hard drive.

Pretty much what I was wanting to know. Ended up buying the chair in black from the seller. Only $60. Felt very sturdy and seemed nice when I sat in it.

If it's in your budget (and since you said it's not for gaming), there's 32gb of DDR4 for $170 on Newegg right now. $153 if you're a student and can use the 10% off promo.

If you think you may SLI in the future, you will need at least 650W, if not 750W (I'm not sure if 650 is enough for SLI 970s). Most people around here prefer the "2" series on EVGA PSUs (G2, B2 instead of G1, B1). The components are supposed to be better and it's the 2nd iteration of the model. As far as gold or bronze rated, it shouldn't affect much. A few cents of electricity per month.

Did you make sure your monitors are lined up correctly in the Windows Screen Resolution menu (right click on desktop and then screen resolution)? The monitors will look like this. Yours should all be the same size though (I have a laptop and external monitor). Make sure they're all lined up correctly and all set to portrait in orientation. Click on each monitor in the box shown above and check the orientation.

The seller said it's Herman Miller but they don't know the model. Is this chair any good?

You need 288-pin DDR4 RAM (Non-ECC). The speeds will all be compatible as long as it is DDR4 Non-ECC RAM. ECC RAM is for server and workstation grade machines. It has an extra bit to help correct any accidental RAM errors during operation. This helps servers have a high uptime.

Try using http://www.memtest86.com/. There is a USB bootable version that you can use. Just download the USB bootable version, write it to a USB drive, and choose the USB drive as the boot drive. It should show 0 errors if the RAM is good. You could try with all sticks first to see if anything has errors, but if it reports any errors, you would need to test with 1 stick in the system at a time to determine which stick has the errors. The good thing is most RAM has a lifetime warranty if it shows errors on this! If there's no errors, then maybe the RAM is not from the same kit and having compatibility issues (not that common anymore, but still can happen). Or it could be a motherboard issue. I'm not sure if memtest would show this or not. Might be worth checking a stick in the slots that you think are working and then in the slots you think aren't working. If it shows 0 errors in one slot, but errors in the other slot, then the motherboard slot may be bad. Not really sure though if the results would happen like this from a bad motherboard slot.

My friend has a computer with 4 SSDs and he is wanting to move cases and setup RAID for his storage SSDs. I made a system image of all of the drives last night, but I am not sure what specifically I need to do moving forward. There will be 1 500gb SSD with the OS, and 3 250gb SSDs in RAID 5. Right now there is a system image of the OS drive (230gb worth of data), and 3 storage drives (400gb, 100gb, 100gb of data each). I will need to wipe all the disks to do the new setup as the OS is not on the 500gb drive. We are also upgrading CPU/MoBo. If I wipe all the drives and set up the 3 250gb in RAID 5, can I restore multiple images to the array without them overwriting each other? If not, what would be the best way to go about this? Thanks in advance.
