My 4870 is starting to look old...

I know whatcha mean, If I had waited a few months, I could have gotten 5770, and direct x11
-.-

After all of my headphones failing miserably and breaking after a year or less, I decided to go for the full fat, purely functional Sennheiser HD280PROs. The 64 Ohms of resistance takes a little getting used to, but I've found them comfortable, well-balanced and very high quality. They insulate very well against outside ambient noise. The only down fall is the rather large size, but the folding and collapsing feature makes up for the weird looks I get on the way to class "I swear I'm a DJ."

So, the Lancool arrived, I really like it. Just finished moving my old parts and a bigger cpu cooler I had lying around (too big for my old case...) in it.
Only trouble: The 12V CPU cord of my Enermax Liberty is too short, it cuts abit into the cooler and runs under the gpus end...

I'm gonna get newer components soon, but for now this is a big step up. Best thing: The HDDs are now silent because of the rubber dampening that comes with the hdd case...

My first light meter, has been impressing me a lot and at the same time reminding me how inaccurate the in-camera metering system is ...

Paddy: does it read lux as well?

 

[Paddy]

As in ambient light ?

It surely does, the light dome extends from the body to get a better reading. IT even works with poverty wizards. Result

 

[IceBone]

No, I meant lux as in measurement of luminance. My lightmeter, the little brother of that one, only measures in f-stop/shutter ratio.

Touchscreen fan control for the Lancool case.
Since the case has fans with similar noise properties, I can control all 4 at the same time, thats why I bought this instead of one with 4 dials...
Should arrive tomorrow or Wednesday, will post pics once its in the case

That looks very.....kitt.

Nonetheless looks pretty cool, no pun intended

Guessing it will be switched off most of the time... The display that is. Then most people won't notice it...

 

[TechZ]

I never understood the point of manual fan control, everything is based off temps nowadays, the system takes care of itself.

My Mobo can't do 4 fans + CPU Fan...

Are case fans really that loud? My brother is running an old case with no fan control (fans plug directly into PSU) and its barely audible. On my own case I don't think the fans ever go full blast but if anything is going to make that kind of noise it's the GPU.

Not if you use Delta fans...
