The image quality and brightness from this small of a projector is amazing, not to mention the ultra short throw and the value add of built in speakers. This thing is awesome. It even has ethernet and USB inputs as well, which is super useful.

These drives are intended for enterprise, datacenter, and high density use. They are not intended for your typical everyday consumer applications. With 1.8 DWPD, or 5.76TB of writes per day for the 3.2TB model, it's designed for high speed random IO, for example high speed databases etc. Coupled with high reliability with a guarantee for read/write endurance, this would be well worth it to companies where cost doesn't matter and they need mission critical reliability. You or I would never be able to fully utilise this kind of performance; I guarantee the most demanding thing you do in regards to performance is booting up your PC or possibly playing a game. This class of drive has not, will not, and will never be marketed to or intended for consumers.

I would prioritise getting a good education, saving up an emergency fund, and getting your life on track/starting your life etc., rather than spending potentially tens of thousands of dollars on a single piece of hardware that you will never be able to fully utilise. These SSD's are targeted towards enterprise environments, where high capacity, high speed storage is needed for I/O intensive applications such as databases etc. Even if you were to have the money to buy one of these, I doubt you would be able to get a hold of one, as these are probably sold in bulk or are only available to enterprise customers.

Yeah, so does anyone know of any iOS music player that can play my own media while overlaying rain, thunder, etc sounds? Similar to what this website does: http://vip.aersia.net/vip-mellow.swf Cya guys

Anybody?

Okay so some background info first: My current rig (ITX) had a whiny power supply, so I sent it back for an RMA. Since I was really missing using my PC, I borrowed a friend's power supply, but since it was ATX and my rig was ITX, it didn't fit in my case, so being the idiot that I was, I just haphazardly nested everything on top of itself, resembling a tower of H100i radiator nesting upon a giant nest of power supply cords. Now here comes the problem: I was using my PC, when suddenly, the cables holding my H100i radiator moved, shifting the radiator slightly and disconnecting one of the rad fans. The PC shut down, and then rebooted, upon which I could faintly smell a smell that you never want emanating from your PC. I quickly shut the power supply off, and then upon carefully inspecting it, rebooted, which then led me to discover that both of my rad fans weren't spinning, which freaked me out a bit. I tried connecting the fans directly to the motherboard chassis fan headers, and they worked, but when they were plugged in to the H100i, they didn't work. This leaves me to believe that the H100i may have fried or something, however the light works, but I'm not so sure about the pump. Tomorrow when I wake up, I'll probably try booting into the BIOS or Windows and try to see my pump rpm and temps. Thoughts? I'm really hoping it's something trivial. TL;DR: H100i rad fan disconnected; upon rebooting, both fans were not spinning up, however they worked. This leads me to believe that the H100i is shorted out. Sorry for the needlessly long post.

An uncomfortable pair of Urbanears Plattans, and no GPU. Also, I can get the Shures for $340 shipped, which what makes it hard.

I need some help deciding a dilemma; should I get some Shure SE535's, or a GTX 960? I always game, and I always listen to music, so I'm stuck.

The crying baby scenario or background noise scenario would only really be relevant for airplane use and use at venues other than my home. Something open-backed is very viable for my home use. I had a brief look at the GR07's and they look quite nice. Should I go for the bass or classic? Wow. Thanks for your reply. Do you think modding the SE535's with filters would make them sound better? The brown or grey filters seem like they make the SE535's perfect, but that's all subjective, and I don't know if I would like what they liked. I for some reason am leaning towards the SE535's, even though if I was to take an unbiased look at it, I wouldn't like it. Maybe it's the physical attractiveness? EDIT: As for the sensitivity of the SE535's, almost all of it is in FLAC, and the music that I regularly listen to is in FLAC. As for my onboard sound...I'll have to see. If not, I can use my iPod or my iPad if it proves to be better. Thanks guys for all your help, I sincerely appreciate all of it.

Thanks. I'd prefer to buy new though, as I've gotten ear infections before from sharing headphones, but if that's the only option, I'll just have to take it and get some new tips. Thanks for all the help. Any recommendations then?

Thanks. From what I can see, Logitech quality control has been having issues? Correct me if I'm wrong. The Westone's looked good, but they're discontinued? They're also a bit out of my budget. I'm open to the idea of buying two headphones, except it means one more thing to lose. Do you think I could just get one pair of over-ear headphones for everything? It would be bulky for traveling and whatnot, but I'd be willing to trade that off for good sound quality. Also, as for sources, would the onboard on a Maximus VII Impact be acceptable? EDIT: Also, here's the mod I was talking about for the SE535's.

Thanks guys. I'm leaning towards buying a set of IEM's at the moment; my current on ear headphones become painful after a long period of use; they press down on my ears and head. Hopefully the IEM's won't have this issue.

Hey guys. I'm looking to invest in a good pair of headphones; IEM's or Over-ear headphones. The ones mentioned above were some of the ones I've been looking at, but feel free to recommend something. I hope to use these for: Gaming - I'd like to hear the big crunch and bass of RPG's firing, but at the same time not too overwhelming, if you know what I mean. Also, a good soundstage. Doesn't really matter if it's not too big. Music - My tastes are extremely varied. I can be into one genre one moment and then another the next, so the selection of IEM's based on a particular genre wouldn't be wise for me. Noise isolation would be a nice feature to have - I travel often on planes and the blocking out of babies crying would be really nice - as long as I don't have to turn up the volume so that my ears start to bleed. Movies and videos - Watching YouTube is one of my favourite activities to do when I'm procrastinating or being bored. So as you can see, many uses. I realise I'm asking for a lot here; I want to keep my spending under $400 if possible? I've found the SE535's on Ebay for $370 shipped, the Audio-Technica MSR7's in a bundle with some other stuff on Massdrop for $250, and the Sennheiser IE80's on Ebay for $230 (Not sure about this one, apparently there are many fakes out there; I'll probably just buy from somewhere authorised at full MSRP.) Now, when it comes to sound quality, I don't consider myself to be an audiophile, but I can appreciate good sound and music, as one of my full time hobbies is playing the piano. I would like a balanced sound, but not 'boring'. If I end up buying the Shure SE535's, I'll probably mod them with new dampers, since they apparently improve the sound quality. Thanks in advance to everybody that spends their time helping others; I hope I've answered all your questions. - HexaGuy

Well, even with the point of this thread being the NBN, the NBN would be a better place to cut. Not healthcare. People are afraid to go to the doctor now, they can't afford it. Sure, high speed internet access is essential in our modern society, but I would rather the population's general health be better. 100Mbps speeds aren't worth it if many people are sick or diseased. Even reintroducing the mining tax would help some, but then you would need to take care not to hamstring our main industry. Honestly, there are many, many places you could cut, but please, not healthcare.

I do, but there are many other places to cut funding that will not have a big of an impact on the Australian public.

wut.... Tony Abbott's priorities..... 'OH, LET'S SPEND TENS OF BILLIONS ON THESE USELESS FIGHTER JETS!!! HMMM, WE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY...I KNOW!! WE CAN AXE ESSENTIAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES!!!! AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, WHY NOT CUT THE NBN??'. - Tony Abbott's deluded reasoning. I honestly think that a 13 year old could lead this country better. (Not insulting their intelligence, of course.)

Awww. That's pretty disappointing. I just finished my M1 build with the SX600-G, and I have the same issue with you. I thought it was a one off, but I guess apparently not. Mine also makes a very very very annoying humming sound when the PC is powered on.

Thanks guys. I never mentioned it specifically, so my fault, but how do they verify operating system keys? Like Windows 8? @Fulgrim

I know, but I'm asking on what the process is. What exactly do I do after checkout?

Forgive me for my ignorance, but how exactly does G2A Shield work? The description on the site is quite vague, and details having to share screens? I don't get it. How are you supposed to verify that the code works? Do you share screens to get the code, or...? I'm quite confused.

Hi guys. I'd love to see your opinions on the Australian Mining tax. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XYPWHMC Please answer via the survey, as it makes it much easier for me to catalogue responses. Can't wait to see your responses. Thanks. :DD

I think this is complete and utter made-up bullshit to make that guy seem like he is smarter than he really is. That, or he's trying to troll you. This makes no sense; both in the sense of thermodyamics, and in simple, utter logic. Think about it. You are talking about 8C above room temperature in modern games, and 15C above room temperature for Intel Burn Test. Not even a H100i or a 360mm radiator setup could produce that, and you're talking about a not very thick 120mm radiator with some cheap heatsink attached to it? It would probably increase your temperatures due to thermal inefficiencies of mounting the H60 to the round copper pipes and mounting the CPU to the round heatpipes. If your friend could provide some proof, with some nice, reliable data, and maybe some pictures, I would then believe him. I think he's just trying to boast/brag/trying to impress you with his little made up thought. Sorry mate. EDIT: How would you even mount the CPU to the heatpipes and the H60 to the heatpipes? Zip-ties?

Usually people, like Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Alexander Bell, and other more recent, influential people. Whenever I do read about events, it's usually war, or terrorist attacks.

I'll start. 'Donkeys'. Originated from the word 'assignments', which eventually got shortened into 'ass', and the meaning of 'ass' in animal terms is a donkey. So, therefore, assignments are donkeys. ^^Dat logic.^^

Well, some people dual boot OSX and Windows for extra versatility. People get macs not just because of the name, but because of the actual hardware itself. Sure, they may be overpriced, but you have to admit that the aluminium bodies are beautiful and the huge trackpads on their laptops are second to none. I have a Macbook Pro, which I'm typing on now, and let me tell you, the build quality is lovely, and the trackpad is just huge and silky smooth. I haven't seen or felt anything that even comes close. Not everybody that buys a mac is an iSheep or a boaster.
