    Screeners

    Projector and painted wall = 147" 1080p screen, with two couches setup for stadium seating. I went and saw American Hustle in theaters with the girlfriend last week and complained about how small the screen was. Oh and lack of arm room, due to tight quarters with people next to us, oh and no...

    RUSH - Ron Howard's 1970s F1 Movie

    Fucking awesome movie. It's amazing to see Lauda still at races hanging in the pits. The guys life is F1, and he's on the level of Senna for respect in the F1 world.

    Laptop Computers

    Bought the laptop for 469, took a few days to show up girlfriend has had it since Thursday. She loves it so far, likes the 14" size, and I'm thoroughly impressed by the performance. Apparently the i3 Haswell matches my i5 Sandybridge in CPU performance and is stellar for graphics. Has no problem...

    American Hustle

    It was enjoyable as a well acted set piece seeing what the 70's looked like. Was totally surprised to see Eli Thompson, and Richard Harrow from boardwalk, Louis CK, and Robert Deniro. I was confused by Louis being in this movie, but by the end it really worked. He was perfect for that role.

    The E-cig Thread

    Fuck E-cigs. I don't want anyone's second hand nicotine laced air. If you want to smoke them outside that's fine, but smoking indoors is bullshit.

    You need to tell Nvidia optimus which exe's need the dedicated graphics. By default most stuff runs on the integrated to save power.

    Laptop Computers

    What do you guys think of this laptop for my girlfriend? She's been living off a little netbook since 2009. Only game she's been able to play is Heroes of Might and Magic 2. I've wanted to get her a slightly larger real laptop capable of basic gaming so I've been on the hunt for a Haswell 14"...

    Repairing laptop DC jack

    Solder suckers don't work, get some solder resin, and mesh. I personally take out the shielding layer from an old USB cable. Dip it in resin then onto the solder you've melted that your trying to remove, some will suck up, repeat.

    Holy shit when did that happen?!? I bought my r9 280x on 11/03/13 it was 300 and I used a 20$ off 250+ purchase and paid 280, now its running at 379 and out of stock?! Why would people buy them for mining? My card gets 600 Mhashes/sec tops. Wayyyy not worth it for the power cost, regardless...

    Repairing laptop DC jack

    This. I swear DC jacks account for about 50% of the walk=in laptops we get. I'm not a laptop tech, but I do all the soldering for him. These are generally pretty easy except for some dells with 8+ solder pins. Fuck those things. Depending on model we charger roughly 200$ to do one. 1-2 hours...

    A 270x for 200 will match a 760 for BF3 and a 280x for 300 will match or surpass a 770. I've always been an Nvidia person, but the price point for AMD's is really strong right now.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I've been telling my roommates to stop spending money on overpriced crap headsets, buy some real headphones and a dedicated Mic. I'm running sennheiser 518s through an Asus Xonar DG. It's a cheap soundcard but it has a built in headphone amp and I don't need crazy 5.1 processing.
