  1. I use poweramp too and i absolutely love it. The only "problem" i have encountered is, that sports tracker doesnt recognize it, and that there are some wierd audio issues while streaming over bluetooth to my car audio... nice review! i just watched linus 30 day video and was about to write a comment about power amp :D
  2. Well, you live in switzerland and pay around 16-17 euro cent's per kWh, we in germany pay 28 cents! :D So don't complain xD But that sounds like a balling machine... Because i just finished ME 3 (meeeh, i hate the ending) :D
  3. Thanks! Yeah, i thought about going with ASUS Blue Look, but then i found that thing :D It's a Olympus E-520 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_E-520 ), wich i absolutly love^^ Shot a few awesome pictures on a laser show a semester above mine did at the university :)
  4. Yep, well, Intel is using more money for R&D than AMD's whole income/transaction value^^ If AMD could use only have the money Intel is using, probably bulldozer would have wiped the floor... But since Rory P. Read said AMD wont be delivering the high performance marked anymore...it does look very dim :/
  5. Well, on that aspect it makes quite a lot of sense :D Are the Pumps you are using that silent? i had the opportunity to hear a CM Eisberg on 5V, 7V and 12V. I was quite impressed, because i didn't hear a thing... Btw: YAY for ArchLinux ;) I've been using it also for about 1,5 years now... :)
  6. Yep, i also believe that the TARDIS translated the book. Well, the idea of the last episode was great, but it left me a bit stranded and dissapointed. As tech nerd/geek and huge star trek fan, i would have loved to see the engine core intact and all the other things, that are supposed to be inside the TARDIS... I dont know why the BBC said every episode has to be like an epic mini-movie, but it just destroys so much opportunities to cramp that much story potential into 45 Minutes... Oh and i absolutly love matt smith, but in the last one it was a bit awkward...to me he acted a bit wooden in parts
  7. That looks like a hell of a good job! WOW! but just to clarify my...thoughts :D You are not using all three radiators, do you? If you do, what do you need them for? o.O
  8. Hehe, thanks :D I know what you mean ;) Yeah, in the past few years, Intel has done some good things, and i don't say the products are bad or something like that, but...yeah...anyway, if everyone would buy Intel, Intel would have a pure monopole on the x86 marked wich would probably turn out quite bad, wouldn't it?^^
  9. I'm thinking about plasti diping a PCB, to make it fit the colour scheme on my pc... If somebody doesn't know what plasti dip is: It's basically "rubber in a spray can". Rubber is non conductive, but since plasti dip isn't just any normal rubber, i'm not sure if that would work the way i would like it to^^ Has anyone done it yet and can share the insight about it with me? :D
  10. Yeah, that's why i put it on the top^^ Well, i would say, AMD has had some very dark days. But at least they made some money, last quarter, or at least contained the loss a little bit. And it always depends on what you're philosophy is...^^ In my case, i look to find the best compromise between price and performance. I just don't want to spend a whole monthly income for a PC and i don't want to support a company who have done that many questinable things...;)That's just my oppinion and i believe we customers have the power to change those things. Thanks, yes, it does, but apparently that's just the actual gigabyte colour theme^^ But i want to keep it Black and Silver, so i'm looking for a 7870 or 7950 with a black PCB... Thanks. :) Yes, sometime in the future i'm going to fix the cable managment. I have to figure out a way, to get all the cables cramped behind the other side, but the problem is: That Case is a CM Silencio 650 and it's silenced, so there isn't much space left on the back of it, and quite a lot of cables are to short, to run them all the way across the back...
  11. Hm, well, i know a friend of mine who is running android on his Pi, with an Wiimote. His Android is based on the Cyanogenmod9 EDIT: Ah, well i just asked him: it works but barely...to bad :/
  12. Nice...i remember playing UT on Win 2000 quite a lot, because it BSODed a lot of times on Win 98...^^
  13. Looks great! What are you running on the PI? Looks like some Linux with LXDE...
  14. Woha! How cool is that...i bet everyone back in the day running a Voodoo 5 was the king on every lan party :D That thing was a beast... :) What OS are you going to run on it? Win 98? Win 2000? Or even Linux? :D Hopefully you're not going to put XP on that lady...:P
  15. Because the old 4850 was already "there" :D Since i had only 200 bucks to spend, i couldn't get something else...but it's planed! :) Yeah, i know, my cable management is horrible at the moment :D but since this is the "build log" forum, i thought i can post some updates, if i have the time to do so :) Btw, here are some 3D Mark Benches: 3DMark 2006 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm06/17131636 3DMark Vantage http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/4571992 PCMark Vantage http://www.3dmark.com/pcmv/525530
  16. Hi, i've registered in the Forum quite a long time ago and never really had the time to do "something" around here^^ I hope i'm forgiven :P Oh, and if anyone wonders - i'm from germany and if my english isn't that perfect....well, don't smash my head against the wall *g* Something about me (didn't find any "Hey, i'm new!" threads :/ ) : I'm 23 years old, studying optical electronics and since my granddad "threw" a 386 on the desk (i think i was about 6 or 7 years old) i'm "into" Computers. The second PC i got had a AMD K6 in it and my first one, that i completly build by myself was a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ Thoroughbred B. It was one of the fastest CPU's you could buy in Germany around the end of 2002. The biggest mistake with that build was getting a Nvidia GeForce FX5200. It was probably one of the crappiest GPU's i ever owned :D Shortly after that, i got a Radeon X1950Pro, wich i had until last year (i even played Crysis on it! But with a Phenom X3... ;) ) Anyway. A few month ago, my ASUS M3N-HT died...at least sort of. Didn't start all the time, BOSD's and so on. Well, soomething new was necessary. And maybe it's obvious from the above, that i'm more of the budget builder, then the absolute high end one. So my budget for a new Mainboard + CPU + RAM was at the max. 200 € (~ 260 U.S. Dollar, ~ 265 C.A. Dollar). Since i am a huge AMD Fan, never had any problems with the CPU's or the GPU's (i never even had any problems with the FGLRX driver under linux, don't know why, but it just worked for me - apart from XGL back in 2006), i never even considered Intel. I don't like Intel that much, because of their company and distribution policy in Germany (they bribed all the big PC-Companies to just use Intel CPU's) and some other things. AM3+ was out of the question, it's a dead plattform and apart from that i would have never got something for under 200 €. So it came down to FM2 and the X4 750K. Before you look at the pictures: It's absolutly no clean build, i threw it together in a hurry, because i needed the PC for studys. But the clean the mess up is right up the list, behind water cooling and a black PCB Radeon 7870 or 7950 :D And now i let the pictures speak for themself...^^ It's now running stable at 4,4 GHz. For Benchmarks and some Testing i had it up to 4,8 GHz, but it just doesn't work with Air Cooling, it runs into a "SCRAM" ;D 72°C and the whole thing BSOD's, because the thermal controler of trinity says it's to much ;) Well, anyway, as i said, i'm quite impressed and in quite a few benchmarks, the 750K @ 4,8 GHz is sometimes faster then a i5-3570. It's faster then a i7-920 all the time. Sure, Integer performance isn't that great, but personally i don't give a damn :P At the moment every game i own runs on max settings at 1600x1200 (wich is only 3% less pixels than F-HD, so i'm counting it as F-HD :P) at over 40 FPS. Since the Monitor i'm using right now has quite a slow response time, it dosen't matter that much.
