  1. Became unhappy with having a big case, so I sold off my old PC and went for the IN WIN 901. Since I never overclocked my old i7-4770k I thought why not go for cheaper hardware and stick to the 6700. It still boosts to 4ghz, and the 65W TDP is actually pretty nice to have, especially considering the case I built in. The Atlas cooler was pretty much god sent. It's a dual tower cooler that's basically shrunk down but can still handle 200W of power. At first I wanted to go for the G1 gaming 1080, but ended up going for the founders edition and I'm pretty happy. For aesthetics it's pretty much the best I could get of course, but also for temperatures I think it's the best solution for me. The case doesn't allow for a lot of airflow, and with this setup I have the 120mm intake shovel air directly into the GPU, and the 92mm exhaust can take care of the CPU instead of also having to blow out the air of a hot graphics card. After adjusting the fan curve of the graphics card to my liking it also stays out of throttling range, while also staying pretty quiet. Here are the temps after 20 minutes of Prime95 and Furmark at the same time: Here are the full specs: Intel Core i7-6700 G.Skill 16GB DDR4-2133 MSI H170I Pro AC Alpenföhn Atlas CPU cooler Noctua NF-P12 intake be quiet! Silent Wings 2 92mm exhaust nVidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition be quiet! Straight Power 10 500W PSU ADATA Premier PRO SP900 256GB SSD Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD SanDisk 64GB SSD Overall the 901 was pretty great to build in. It was a bit of a challenge to decide on what parts to use but in the end decision making was pretty straight forward. I wasn't sure about the founders edition on the 1080 but in the end it's a pretty good card and I believe for my use case it's the best I could get. With the custom fan curve it doesn't throttle either and still stays quiet while idling and doesn't bother me at all while gaming even though it does ramp up a little. Finally, pictures
  2. Update: Done a little more research, unfortunately I can't get the HP for a better price and the Schenker definitely became more interesting again after realizing I can just get it without SSD and OS. Again, thanks a ton for making me aware of the brand, would definitely not have looked for it since it's not really sold on the mainstream market.
  3. Interesting, tho I won't buy one of these. Carry around, yes, but mostly in a backpack to the bus, or on a motorcycle and then it will be mostly stationary in one or two rooms. Mobility is not really key. Also the 14" screen is a little too small. Nice to know about the brand though. I always like the idea of highly customizable products. Also a little outside of my pricerange.
  4. I'll say no, I have my gaming rig with a 970. TBH, I wanted to stay away from Lenovo because of the recent bloatware through BIOS controversy.
  5. Europe / Luxembourg, budget around 1000€ The HP is 1000€ new, but I might be able to get it for ~800, allowing me to upgrade the SHDD to an SSD and to 16GB of RAM. Dell is 1050€ new. I do believe an i7 is a must for coding, as is 16GB of RAM, but I have not much experience here. The 4k display on the Dell would be nice for space, even on a 15" laptop. However, according to tests, the display is lacklustre in terms of brightness. Also Dell says it's aluminum built, but in video reviews you can see people twisting and pushing on the lid, making me believe it's plastic. The HP is fully aluminum built, has a nice 1080p display, nice speakers and a 950M, which is a lot better than the M270 that is in the Dell.
  6. Specifically the HP ENVY 15-ae020ng (15.6", i7, 950M) and the Dell Inspiron 15 7548-3849 (15.6", i7, R270M, 4K display) Still unsure which one I should go with or if there are any other similar options out there. Laptop will mainly be used for coding and watching movies. Might be able to get a deal on the HP Envy and get it at a reduced price. Edit: for any further suggestions: Battery life doesn't matter and portability doesn't really matter either (don't want a brick, but a piece of paper isn't necessary)
  7. No, the setup needs to be used in a gaming tournament environment where unfortunately the gaming station will be quite far away from the streaming station since we hold the tournament in a movie theater. A networked camera is probably not going to give us the quality we want and then there's still a solution we need for the ElGato capture card. What I've found is that USB to IP devices mostly suck or are too expensive (USB 1.1 for the cheap ones in 2015, wtf). Software solutions aren't ideal, but there is software that allows for virtual USB connections making it possible to plug devices into one computer and make them appear as plugged in in a different computer, giving the connection the full internal network speed, but unfortunately those solutions also cost too much or I can't get them to work. Last solution is not going to be related to what I had initially planned, but it's probably what we're going to stick with: we will have to use two computers and Teamviewer on high quality settings in order to stream low latency video via network from on computer to another (tested it already, works surprisingly well, tho I don't really know about quality yet. Looks great on my 27" display, but we're going to use the projector in the movie theater for inhouse people to watch on)
  8. I've found that USB to IP devices are called USB server. Basically a device that you can plug USB devices to and make them accessible to computers that are attached to the same network.
  9. Hi, I need a USB server that I could use to extend the signals of a HD webcam and an ElGato video capture card. Does anyone know a product that I could use for this? If not, maybe anyone knows a different solution that I could use? The range needs to be 30 meters or 100 foot.
  10. You're right, I also think that looking at the bottom of the front fender really isn't very interesting or beautiful, but I thought the perspective gives it a kind of badass feel, so I posted it anyway. Here's a photo that captures the bike in a better environment http://i.imgur.com/36bx5bj.jpg
  11. No, he has a cropped sensor, so the 35mm would give him pictures that look like they were taken with a 50mm on a full sensor. Edit: Here's a few pictures taken with my 50mm lens on a D5100 (also with a cropped sensor) http://i.imgur.com/IPQt5hh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Xit0zHQ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/G594Vjr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4XHqfVc.jpg
  12. Well yea...it's lightning after all, can't tell it to go down a little more to the right so it fits perfectly into the frame. There was only one more that came down into where my camera was pointed, but unfortunately at that time,the camera was processing another exposure that had finished just before.
  13. Boring subject, only interesting thing is the low depth of field which is not hard to achieve. On the photo you rated you said that you're not able to tell what's on the photo, same goes for this one. Nice colors on the (probably) shingles though. Also the background is bothering me a bit.
  14. Damn, this thread has become a collection of snapshots with bad composition and people circlejerking, giving themselves 7-10 ratings, while the good photos receive 2 or 3.
