  1. Some suggestions that I would like to pitch (source: Me, I’ve used these products) - Hawthorne Co., Awesome Men’s Body Care company. Been using their shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for almost 2 years; and they’ve worked fantastically with my curly hair - Magic Spoon, Some people are mixed about the taste, but I personally really like the taste of the cereal they offer. Personal favorite of mine is the regular frosted flavor. - Mud\Wtr, Used their morning routine (:rise) and coconut milk creamer for a couple months. Really enjoy it as an alternative to coffee. - Flexispot, Awesome desks overall. I’ve been using their EN1 desk for almost 2 years and have fallen in love with using it.
  2. Mine would have to be Linus and the fire pole situation. Honestly asking, has Linus still kept the fire pole in the current offices?
  3. My only big gripe with the any sponsors LMG would partner with are any games that have gambling-esque features built in to the game (e.g., Raid Shadow Legends, World of Warships, etc). I wouldn’t be against the sponsors if LMG were to put up any sort of disclaimer, linking to gambling addiction resources. Same thing if they chose to get sponsored by a brand focused of making tobacco / nicotine products. They need to be direct about the warning and have it be linked before the sponsor’s link.
  4. Thanks And I'll make sure to have a build log posted here as soon as possible for you guys.
  5. I just wanted to know what people thought of it or something.
  6. Rationale for each part CPU- Intel i7 5930k: The 6-cores (12 with hyperthreading) will come in handy whenever I'm working on multi-core tasks like using Photoshop, Unity, Adobe Premier, and etc. The cores while not as fast as the current gen Skylake architecture, will be plenty for current-gen games (eg FallOut 4). And even at a lower clockspeed, the CPU is unlocked for OC. CPU Cooler- Corsair H100i: I decided to go with watercooling for the CPU because it provides a much better performance for OC CPUs. MotherBoard- MSI X99A: There are a couple reasons I went with this (since I could purchase the cheapest motherboard and still have a good computer, which the more expensive ones are all about features anyways). First, the amount of USB ports the MB has is a pretty great amount for all of my needs. Second, the board supports SLI (more to come of that later on). And third off, I'm going with a certain colour scheme for the PC. Memory(RAM)- Corsair Vengence 16GB DDR4: This was a bit overkill and I'll admit that. But this build was meant for future-proofing for higher performance. Storage- 1x Samsung 512GB SSD; 1x Western-Digital Red 3TB: I'm a firm believer that it is good to have your OS on an SSD for faster booting and some applications that require the faster read/write speeds. The 3TB, while pretty overkill it provides many years of storage and not to mention video files (uncompressed) and 3D rendered models do take up space overtime. But overall, storage is different from person to person. One might only need 512GB for light web-browsing and light gaming. Others may need TBs of storage for something like a production company or a NAS for a company. Graphics Cards (GPU)- 2x Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti: Now for what I consider to be where the money is going to the most. Now the 980 Ti in a 2-way SLI is better than buying one single Titan X because rather than having two monitors running off of one GPU which does cause stress overtime, I gone with two 980 Tis. Also not to mention, buying the SLI configuration will be more cost effective when putting to price vs. performance (see this graph here for Firestrike Pro results http://media.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2015/nvidia/980-ti-sli-bench-3dm2.png). Also another main reason is that Nividia is coming out with the ability for an SLI format to run more efficiently with VR headsets (eg Oculus Rift). Case- NZXT H440: I want to get this case due to two main points; room for air to flow through and the one feature known as a fan controller. Since I'm going to OC the CPU (possibly the 980 Tis) I'm going to need as much air as humanly possible going into the computer. Also I was planning on waiting for the new Corsair 600C but since it's not going to be on sale for the next few weeks, may as well buy this case. PSU- Corsair RM 1000W: The SLI configuration will take up a lot of watts (and not to mention OCing the CPU will take up even more). I need as much power, but at the same time not going overboard too much. Link to proof of me buying all of these parts (eventually going to show off a build-log for this): http://i.imgur.com/thRledT.jpg
  7. I'll download that car one way or another.
  8. Honestly, I would buy something like an Amazon Echo for both of my parents since my mother doesn't really like going out to shop Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X4WHP5E/ref=s9_acss_bw_cg_odsdede_2d1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-6&pf_rd_r=1NA70W3E1FAHB1WEMZ49&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=2294879482&pf_rd_i=11851273011
  9. Would be interesting to install Linux on it and use it as anything from a home theater to a working robot (EV3 anyone?).
  10. Linus is love, Linus is life.

  11. Whoops I accidently dropped my bag of leaks again.
  12. I might also be a squid, but I'm probably not a kid (hopefully not ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ).
