Building an AMD rig, budget about 1500-2000

OoiTY — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:15:46 +0800

Here are a few bits which I've decided on.

X2 550 BE AM3 6MB Rm340
CoolerMaster RC-690 Rm279
Vantec ION2 Rm149 (Or any other psu within this price range)
808GB WD Hd RM215
Dvdrw Rm80

Undecided - Mobo, ram, graphics card. Which is really, the heart of the computer.

This system will be focused primarily on gaming, so I don't really need a billion core processor for rendering or getting any work done. That said, I'd love to put whatever bits I do get through some heavy overclocking, so each part would need to be up to it, hence something a little better than an ultra-budget motherboard.

Looking for: Q-Jays

After alot of deliberation, and probably a lot more, I've decided on Q-Jays after all its glowing reviews about its comfort and sound in contrast to its price.

So, the question now is where should I get it from? Does anyone know anyone bringing it in or any good webstores with a good price? I'm in Australia atm, though I won't mind waiting until I'm back in Malaysia to get it (Oh lawd, another half a year?). That said, I'm don't really mind waiting for shipping or if anyone is thinking of bulking it (hint hint).

Thanks in advance guys.

Hidden files and folders.

Hey guys, I need some help.

I've been having a problem where my hidden files are well.. hidden. Everytime I tried changing the setting in Folder Options, it reverts back to hiding the files. I've scanned my system for any viruses using Kaspersky and Nod32 (not pleasant, takes over half a day) and gotten rid of anything out of place, but I'm still stuck with this problem.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

HDR

I thought about where this thread goes for a bit. In arts and design or in here. Although HDR relies on the photographs as the base material, most of the magic happens in post production, which can change a picture significantly. Oh well, if someone decides to move this thread somewhere else, no matter

Alright, First off, what is HDR?

...

You know what, I suck at explaining, I'll point you in the direction of an excellent guide.

The guide.

And I quote..

QUOTE

HDR means 'High Dynamic Range'. Using software like Photomatix you can create images with a more detail in the highlights and shadows than you can with a normal photo from todays digital cameras. Its similar to the old technique of exposure blending. Taking one photo for the sky and one for the ground, then merging them both together in Photoshop. HDR takes it a step further by increase the amount of detail in the image and allows you to create some unique photos. You can use it carefully to create natural looking photos or you can use it creatively to create atmospheric and emotive photos. The choice is yours as to how you process the end result.

To make HDR photos, you need a camera which can either shoot RAW pictures (eg; .tiff files) or take bracketed shots (eg; -2ev, 0ev, +2ev). Also, you'll need either Adobe Photoshop or Photomatix for the actual magic to happen. Personally, I prefer photomatix because the colours are alot stronger compared to photoshop. And it's alot easier.

Again, I'm lazy to explain how to do it, the guide tells you all you need to know.

That said, compared with traditional photography, it seems a little bit like cheating, but it's so damn fun.

So, some of my attempts at HDR can be found here;
