The razer blade 100%, can catapult my surface out of the game!!

Looks like a super cool projector! Would love to have a play with it. Could have some superb applications

Linus. love you and your crew and are eternally thankful for the content and knowledge that you bring to us on a daily basis. so yeah... Thanks <3

I love the waterproofs and the great battery life, I also LOVE that dbrand are making this possible

I really love the sleek ID

Soo....

At my school we have a club called "Tech Squad" which has lots of junior members in years 7-9 of their schooling lives and a few seniors like myself who are in our final years.

After lots of convincing etc. I've managed to get a semi confirmation that this is going to happen. The idea of this is for it to be a "showcase" PC with water cooling, LEDs etc.

Parts wise we have some things lying around at school that we can salvage, so the parts list is to be as such. I know that it isn't amazing but it is more or less the best that I can do considering supplier, budget etc.

Parts:

CPU - Intel Core i7 920

Motherboard - Some ASUS mobo with black PCB to match CPU

RAM - Corsair Vengance 2x4GB

GPU - EVGA GTX 770

Case - CUSTOMNESS

PSU - We already have one which is Corsair from memory, but other than that I can't remember (I'm on holiday)

Cooling:

As I said this is less than ideal, but what I think is the best for what we have to work with.

Moving on, the more exciting part. The case...

So as this is to be a showcase build I have been thinking that an extremely open style might be nice so after a few mins on sketchup this is what I came up with.

I obviously didn't spend the most time on it, but the basics are there. Wiring will come up through the baseplate next to where it needs to go to. HDD wil be underneath the custom res , I plan to have the motherboard on standoffs with some frosted acrylic and LED underglow.

Also almost forgot, have decided to go with the tried and true black and white colour scheme, the mobo doesn't have any coloured heat-sinks so all should be good

The next update won't be for a few weeks as I am currently on break, but as soon as school is back I will try to get everything ordered asap as well as have the MTECH ( Hard materials technology) teachers to get onto making the case.

I like the customizability and the longer battery life, my nexus 5's battery is a little dissapointing!!

Linus you are great, I absolutely loved that review!
I would have to say the the improvement of battery life and the speakers that make sense compared to my current, a nexus 5...

I use windows 8 and hardly ever touch my mouse, unless i am playing a game. What do you need to use mouse for?

Hey, I am trying to install windows 7 onto my new pc. I set the boot order to USB first, and have no other storage devices plugged in. When the computer starts up, it shows a message saying "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"

 

I have been trying everything I can to get it to work, but I can't get it to work. What can I do to fix it?

What have you got on the USB? Is it just the .iso file or have you burned iso?

Hey Everyone,

After recently seeing Linus show the Sennheiser headphone stand, I decided to build my own, as I always just left them on the top of my monitor and didn't wanna shell out $ on it though, so I decided to make my own, so here it is

I quickly put together a model of it on sketchup.

So at this point it was time to get cracking!

I dug around under the house until I found some wood that would do me well

Quickly sketched an outline of the holder itself

Next I clamped it down and got ready saw.

Sadly I don't have a jigsaw or anything, so time to do it the old fashioned way!

Basic shape cut, but more work on the bottom needed

Its a bit rough, but it's good enough for now

Time to get sanding!

Ok, screw that, time to crack out the power tools (I didn't actually end up using a rotary, I found another that worked better)

Top sanded!

Headphone test fit: Perfect

All the sanding done - for now!

It isn't quite perfectly even, but I think that I will survive

Next step is to make the mount...

Tell me what you think

Yes my computer is 192.168.0.108 and yes the gb router is 192.168.1.8

 

and yes i am running the server/service when im testing.

Damn, that makes it hard

I'm afraid that everything looks like it is done well and should be working no problem.

I pulled an old router out of my cupboard and did this same thing and it worked fine, so good luck figuring it out!

So if i have this right, 192.168.0.108 is your computer and 192.168.1.8 is your gb router?
You are running the server/service when you are testing right?

Wanna post the port forwarding page for both

So before i got a new gigabit router, my portforwards on the old current modem/router work fine. But when i bought a gigabit router and bridge the to together with a ethernet cable, WAN port on gigabit router to ethernet port on the modem, My portfowards no longer work. Default gateways changed, i know old modem (192.168.1.1) new one (192.168.0.1) I was aware of the change and i changed my settings to fit the new router.. I am using the gigabit router to connect to the internet, everything works fine. I portforwarded with portforward.com and when i went to listen to the port on canyouseeme.org the port will either say 'Connection timed out' or 'No route to Host' both the modem and router have DHCP enabled. Is there anyway to fix that i can use portforwards on my new router?

 

Gigabit router : TP-Link WR1043ND

 

 

Thanks,

So your pc/ server is connected to the gb router, which is connected to the old one which the forward used to work fine on?

Have a look at this.

Your photography skills seem really good considering you're not using a DSLR. Great job though, always nice to see something original!

He is using a DSLR... 

New camera is a Canon t3.

This build is SO sweet, loving all the detail and cant wait to see moar

Why are they so hard to view...?

They look overexposed...

This means that the camera has taken in too much light which results in a loss of focus and makes whites look washed out. It also appears that a flash has been used and this means that reflective surfaces appear very bright.

Yikes! is that normal in new zealand?

In rural zones, yes, in the citys is is about double that. Fibre is slowly getting rolled out, personally it is available in 2 years... :(

I retweeted it!

O my god, please can i have this!

I used to use in ear headbuds, but they are always uncomfortable for long periods of use, in my experience, so I am looking at some closed headphones that are not too bulky or expensive as I want to be able to have them on me for long trips and to carry around with me, so rugged is a plus as well.

Thanks,

Logitech makes a headset which is basically the wired version of the G930s, they arent quite the same, but have a look at the G35s.

Please give me this!

Looks AWESOME!

I want metro 2033
