    This is one of the cooler things I have ever seen. 
     
    "Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich have taught their quadrocopter robots to juggle and volley balls with impressive skill. The experiments were recorded at the institute’s Flying Machine Arena, a 10 by 10 meter indoor playground for testing flying robots."

    Coswar reacted to LinusTech in LG G3 Review and.... TWENTY-FIVE Phone Giveaway?!   
    NCIX: n/a
    Amazon: http://georiot.co/30oN
     
    The G3 from LG is the first phone I've used with a 2560x1440 display. That's a lotta pixels! Not to mention the rest of the top-of-the-range specs!
     


     
    Alright, now onto the good stuff. LG is giving us TWENTY FIVE G3's to give away! All you need to do to qualify is post your favourite thing about the G3 from the review above in this thread and you can be selected at random to win one of these phones!
     
    Please note that they are retail units (in the video I said pre-production, but this has since been changed) and they are Korean unlocked global units, so you will need to verify if they will work correctly on your carrier! To my knowledge they will work on AT&T or T-Mobile, but I got no data - only get voice and SMS on my carrier (Bell) so YMMV.
     
    Either way you can still enter to win one, and you an always use it as a portable gaming device or whatever... I mean, it's a G3 man! The wifi will work! Best of luck to everyone!
     
    One entry per household.
     
    The giveaway is worldwide and closes July 6th and the winners will be announced on Twitter, so make sure you're following @LinusTech!

    Coswar got a reaction from helping in Project Ghetto Rig   
    So here I have a completed Ghetto Rig made up of spare parts and slightly damaged parts that I had around the house or had taken out of my main Rig. I took the motherboard, CPU and one PSU from an old Dell Inspiron 530 and the GPU was an overheating one taken from my main Rig. The second PSU was in my box of spares, not sure where from and the Antec 300 was from my old rig.
     

     
    So having these parts disused was annoying me, and I decided to see what I could create from them. I knew the Dell's PSU (305w) wouldn't be enough to power the 6970, so I looked into dual power supplies, and came out with what you see below.
     

     
    One PSU for the Mobo/CPU and accessories and one for the Graphics card. There were a couple of methods to setting up dual PSUs, such as splicing them together so that the one switch would turn on both, but I wanted to be able to easily dismantle this machine if I had other/better uses for the parts. Instead I used a light switch mounted to a 5 1/4 " cover at the front, with the cables plugged into the relevant plugs on the 24 pin adapter.
     

     

     
     
    I drew on the symbols to remind myself
     

     
    The whole build only cost me around €5 for the switch and cable, the rest of the parts were free, and I now have a pretty decent spare rig, but I'm not sure how long the HDD will last, it's nearly dead.
     

     
    List of specs are as follows:
     
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6650 @ 2.33Ghz
    2GB 800Mhz DDR2
    Dell Inspiron Motherboard(P35)
    HIS Radeon HD 6970 2GB (Reference)
    2x 305w Generic PSU
    Antec 300 Mid Tower( All 4 fans filled)
    750GB Generic HDD
    1x Lightswitch
     
     
    Here are some screenshots of CPU Z etc ( I know that everyone hates Windows Experience Index - But I don't )

    Just because you plan on it doesn't mean you prefer it or find it easier. If you find it easier to build a liquid loop in tighter quarters, I'd love to see what you build with, because I've built a couple and boy was it a pain dealing with mid and mini towers to run loops over the VRs, RAM, chipset (back when we had a northbridge which could melt), CPU, and 1 or more GPUs.

    You should get a CPU with the 8750m otherwise the GPU part of the APU is wasted, and it should be cheaper too. If that's not possible then spend the extra 75$, it will make enough difference to be wirth it

    Yup, but I have 24MB set aside for the iGPU, and my Dell takes 2MB for other hardware. I have a 1GB stick in it.

    I agree, most of the threads I create have a least one idiot who refuses to read before either posting something irrelevant or jumping to conclusions.
    Yeah, I've never really been a fan of AVG, always seemed a to hog resources and lacked functionality. Your (ex) boss is going to get himself into trouble in a few months when a virus gets into the network and every computer needs to be wiped....lol. Or worse if his computers are specifically targeted - techies need to be listened to more, these people literally have no idea what they are talking about.

    (finished prior sorry)
    Hi guys.  The purpose of this project is to build a fully fledged gaming rig, in a 13 year old case which you could probably find at your local junkyard. The computer must be a champ in three categories; Power, Cooling and Silence. All thise while looking completely stock on the exterior.  I started this project a few months ago, but am still awaiting a few parts. All picture have been taken with a non-smart phone sorry.   Specs: 4770K With 360 Loop MSi GTX 770 oc in SLi (+Backplate) Gigabyte Z87MX-UD3H PNY 4x4GB 1600 Kingston v300 120GB SSD (windows, high priority games) Seagate Barracuda 2TB (Steam games, a lot) FSP Aurum 750M GOLD     First off, Heres the beauty. Ah, that windows ME sticker means business folks.   How did such an old case stay so clean?   This was used to line the interior panels of the sides, top and front. Even the drive bay covers.   Thanks to MNPC tech, I could stencil early!   Ready to cut!   Some early parts!   Just some little tweaks...   The cut is made....and the case is Powder Coated!!   These are some neat doodads  And this will be a challenge..   I love velcro dots <3 (for filter, ssd, and panel)   This Pantyhose dust filter for the bottom of the case is a little ghetto   More parts!! Cable extensions are silverstone btw! They look like shoe laces. I didnt even have to mod for this hole!   More of these haha Exciting.... Turned this reservoir into absolute ghetto Things are falling into place The front panel cables have been heatshrinked too.   Neato fan controller to be chopped up!   Ghetto, but temporary!   Far out its sexy!   First card and ram arrived!   A bonus swag sticker to go with my celeron D!   Now for a start at putting her together!   And the final shoot!
