    So I'm fairly big into running, this weekend I'm going to be doing the half marathon in OKC. I currently have a pair of the Sennheiser OCX 685i's but I have a few problems with them and even these that Luke reviewed. I do not want to be disturbed while I am running. I don't want a microphone, I do not want volume adjusters. Iv'e had issues where I get to mile 8 or 10 and my sweat shorts out the buttons and will crank my volume all the way down, or crank the volume all the way up and hurt my ears! I just want something that is simple headphones and nothing else for these long runs, I'll control it through my media player or phone. Sound quality is alright on the ones I have, I was actually slightly disappointed in the quality for the price. Now to things I do like. I like the around the ear style, they always fit and never come out. Something I highly recommend is getting Comply ear tips for them, they will make them sound better, fit better, and get better noise isolation. I am also a drummer and use these all the time while drumming because I can hear the music and not have to pay for expensive musician in ear headphones. These are a great alternative, only with the Comply tips though. Luke I'd love to see if you can find some simple great quality sounding headphones that I have described.

    I would like to say thank you Linus. You actually inspired me to pursue Information Technology as a degree and now I am working for one of the largest tech companies in the world. I looked back and found out that I started watching you damn near the beginning, Personal Grooming with a USB shaver, funny video I might add. Watching the company evolve into what is today is quite remarkable, especially seeing how its only been 5 years! Just want to say good luck and also feel free for you or one of your employees shoot me a message and I'll see if maybe we work out something out for where you have gotten me today.

    If you want this computer to game as well you wont be able to use it as a hypervisor. With the gaming requirement, you will have to use Windows and then put VMware Workstation or virtual box. ESXi, XEN, Proxmox, oVirt are all headless OS's once installed.

    This Pentium G3258 is something I definitely want to get my hands on. It also supports ECC RAM up to 32GB, and has VT-x support. My only concern right now is the number of cores. But I still bet you would load up at least 7-8 CentOS VM's comfortably. If anyone has a chance to test it as a hypervisor please leave a reply!

    I think you have to lean towards reviewing budget friendly products. Not everyone has thousand dollars to spend on a computer yet alone several thousand. Most people want the best bang for the buck and aesthetics are sometimes a compromise a lot of people are willing to make. I want to see where the manufactures had to cut those corners to make it a budget friendly product and we can continue to leave feedback on where they should and should not make those adjustments.

    750 ti is a great card and what I would recommend for your current PSU and the rest of the parts you have listed. Next I would say RAM upgrade to 8GB, 160MHz if you can but 1300MHz is also just as good in my opinion.

    You probably have to open some ports on your firewall. It could also be a DNS issue, does it possibly work on your mobile devices with WiFi but not mobile data?

    Something that has really helped me is the Asus fan controler built in to the motherboard. Controlling the speed of your fans is always going to help, just nice that it's controlled by the motherboard. Next I would say is the fans themselves. Fewer is better, larger is also better, but you have to go for silence optimized ones as well. After that I would say, if you are trying to diminish sound emitting from your current PC, find out what the loudest item is in your PC. Start unplugging things and find the loudest part. Right now in my rig the loudest thing is my water pump, I plan on getting this replaced next to get it as silent as possible.

    Awesome "final" rig update! Its always the sentimental value of parts in what makes a personal rig I think and I would have a hard time seeing you more to a different case ever really. Something I would recomend that I saw you could do is take the stickers off the Intel NIC's on your motherboard. Just a little easy cleanup, other then that it's really unique and a great looking build. I should probably go ahead and update my personal rig as well. I think I actually got the Gold Motherboard looking alright with a blue theme. Great job!

    Please start using this camera in your "day-to-day" videos. It would be nice for those of use that have 1440p monitors to utilize them on your YouTube videos. Let Linus know if you agree!

    I completely agree with your statement in the way that the first vendor, AMD or Nvida, to release there drivers and/or software available for open source will be the one that "wins" If I could get both technologies on the same card...why would I not get that card? To be honest Microsoft should maybe be working with AMD;s mantel to improve their performance and get rid of these bottlenecks that exist.
  12. kprice789
    I'd like to argue that Nvidia is not behind in there R&D for their "APU" implementation. Look at their ARM processor technology known to consumers as Tegra. ARM is undoubtedly the future in high performance scalable computing. Nvidia may just be marketing this incorrectly or they already have a enterprise grade idea for the use of their ARM processor chip. They are doing some very impressive things with GRID and there VDI implementations with VMware. Nvidia is more than ready to continue to throw punches at AMD.
  13. kprice789
    I think that AMD is in the right here as they are more willing to "Open Source" there software to developers. They don't plan on making Mantel proprietary drivers and allow Nvidia to use it, but we all know Nvidia will refuse to. Now on the other side G-sync by Nvidia is going to be exclusive with there GPU's and monitors about which ones will be available for gamer's to use. Now I want you to think about this, I have a Korean 1440p monitor, I can adjust the refresh rate of this monitor with no special hardware, works on AMD or Nvidia, it is all software based. What is keeping this from being implemented where the monitor is refreshing when the GPU pushes out the image? This is why I believe AMD's Free-Sync may be real and can easily be implemented through software and no extra hardware needed on monitors, not just mobile devices. Remember hardware is only as strong as its software now days. What do you think? defend your statement.

    I bet its just coil wine, odd that its from a NVIDA card though, usually seen in AMD.

    I would say Asus if you think you would use HDMI. Depending on the monitor your getting and a lot of future/current monitors only have HDMI inputs for some reason
