  1. For that price you might be able to squeeze in a Canon SL1/100D really great for video and photos.
  2. I recently bought a Canon EOS SL1/100D mainly for the purpose of shooting high quality video on a budget. I also bought a softbox on amazon for better lighting but that never came so while I am sorting that out with Amazon I need a temporary way to "lighten things up". I was thinking, Is there any way to get the built in flash on my camera to work while recording video?
  3. I really like this projecter, I have one at the moment but you have to mount it so far away from the wall that it distorts the image quality dramatically. As I use it to game on, you can imagine that it is not the most immersive of experiences
  4. 6/10, nice image but a bit blurry. Took this near a factory where a live; split between industry and wildlife
  5. Thanks for the help, I found that the problem was that the drive was corrupted and needed repairing!
  6. I have tried this but it still says that there is not enough free space
  7. I have already tried this however the option to expand the volume is currently grayed out?
  8. So I got a new laptop but it was second hand. The owner that I purchased it from said it had a 500gb HDD however in the file selection it listed only 248gb. After searching around for a while I found that the other 250gb was unallocated. Problem solved, right? But no, after finding out how to reformat this unallocated drive space and trying it on an old USB first, I realized that it would format all data on the drive, even the data the has been allocated a volume. This is when I remembered this website. So, if anyone does happen to have any knowledge on how to reformat this unallocated drive space as part of the original C: volume, this knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advanced, Alfie
  9. There isn't really anything I would change about the build, it seems really solid and would work very fast. Thumbs up, good job!
  10. Firstly, I would recommend benchmarking/stress testing the GPU with some software to see if it crashes when it gets hot or just under load. Then if it crashes but the GPU is running stable a.k.a. stable temps, clock speeds, no excessive fan sounds. If it continues to crash and you are sure that it is only a problem with Linux, not windows, then it sounds like a driver problem. Obviously there is nothing I can do about the driver issue. How long have you had the graphics card for? Also I would check to make sure you are running the latest stable version of Linux, not an experimental version. What version are you using now?
  11. For just watching films and casual web-browsing etc this build will do you fine for £500: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lz4rxY
  12. Firstly, the i7 will be more than powerful enough depending on which model you get. If your going with something pretty new like a Haswell/Skylake chip you will be running smooth as. Secondly, I probably could diagnose your PC but I would need more info about the system and then I would be happy to help. Finally, building in a HTPC may be a bit more tricky than an ATX just because there is less space to lay things and route cables. Cable management is definitely your worst problem but as long as you take good use of some good old zip ties, you will be find, may take a bit longer than your last build. Also if you give me the case you are using and a budget i can give you directions on a Power Supply that would do you fine. Again, for the hard drives, it depends on the case you are going to use.
  13. That, for your little brother, is a really solid first build. All the parts are reliable and will play more or less any game at least 1080p mid-settings with 60fps. Only thing I would suggest upgrading is the power supply. Apart from that I wish you well with the build. Back onto the power supply, I would say that you should upgrade to something a little bit more steady. If you need any help choosing, leave me a budget and I can sort you out!
