anyway...timmy...u want pok pok chui?
we can arrange one...

and come back fast la...

we talked bout the value of the gears...
and all...
then suddenly...
"sell d3...crossed my mind"...

Ram = Corsair
Monitor... get Samsung
Kao tim




Right on. Xand, the above just ask them give u the most expensip one




calvin... personal feeling on ur 2 pics... I old already. Can't see the beauty of it.

It's ok tim, I have always noticed you've got selective feelings and your own preference on pictures.

Just want to know the better between 2... if really can't comment. it's ok

no 2 is better. first one has too much contrast.
having said that, doesnt mean i like it. got halo and too much hdr and too saturated.
but that is just me. i like my pics to still look real. zio might like your style. got similarity to his.

bro, imac any good? i am also looking for a new comp. no need canggih cos i dont play games. monitor is of paramount importance. lemme know pls. cos why reinvent the wheel when one of us has researched.

Thanks for your more constructive feedback. I will see what i can fix.

Would this better?



or



But this I think the 2nd one is not much of a HDR anymore...

hey... you should develop your own style. i dont want to impose. i will comment on the composition but maybe not on your pp style.

Thanks. So, what about the composition?

it is nice. didnt go against any basic rules

I was just trying my luck. I was going to pyramid and when I was going up the ramp to CP4, I saw really nice clouds in the sky. So, after shopping, I walked out and took the shot on the ramp. It was hot and pretty scary cause cars were coming up.

gotcha...
mobo = DFI UT X48-T2R...check!
graphic card = Asus HD2900XT x 2...maybe it is last gen...but still kick 3870's butt...check!
soundcard...free with mobo...check!
HDD...i already have almost 2TB total...so...considered check!
Ram...corsair...tracer?...not checked!
monitor....dell 24"...check!

according to the list...
i m almost done...
juz casing....psu...bluray drive...
then im DONE!

thx timmy!


any mac...is good!
i m typing this on my macbook pro...
if u getting imac...get the 24" version...with 3.0ghz processor...TEH BOMB!
i m a mac fan...
so yeah...my view will always be bias...

Check it out guys...

Added on July 17, 2008, 10:36 pmOh ya.. forgot... my sis created a poster for our pok pok chui thing... but I think not pawa enough... so, she ask me how I want... so Nutz... how u all want it?

WE WANT IT GOOD!
WE WANT IT BADD!
WE WANT IT TO ATTRACT ALL GURLS TO US!
THATS HOW WE WANT IT!

lol kinda need to see it first before can comment ma..

what is the poster for? just go and ask la.
poster on what? cheerleaders?

Don't get the iMac because of the glossy screen. Not good for post processing.

Get a PC, use the motherboard that can support dual processors (2xQuad Core Extreme or Xeon processors). And then get the 30" Apple Cinema Display.

Graphic card, might as well get HD4870 x 2 if you want. It's miles better than HD2900XT. Casing, Lian Li or Silverstone. Silverstone 1200W PSU. Blu-Ray drive i dunno haha.

Agreed. Make sure the RAM slots are full with 2GB RAM sticks as well.

u can change the screen to matte...with a piece of plastic i guess...
but the PC with dual physical processor capable is great....
juz remember 1 thing...for a PC...there's only 1 board that supports dual processor...SKULLTRAIL!!!!
else u have to go server board...
ACD 30"....my dream oso!



i know...4870x2 x 2 will be better....
but since i already have 2900XT...i juz needed another to use Xfire....
i wouldnt want to waste money on super graphics...while i only play yahoo games!
hahahaha...
casing is the prob....silverstone n lianli is arnd 1k for a good one...
damn!
as for PSU...i m looking at the 100% modular from SS...still its near to 1k....
bole mati!

I am usually very sceptical about tests like that because of the parameters. Did he use a tripod? Did he eliminate any other factors that would have stabilised the test to make sure its consistent?

Added on July 18, 2008, 10:01 amI comment on calvin's HDR sunway pyramid! #2 is nicer, #1 is too dark. The shadow is overpowered.

As for the composition, I dont know. I would have preferred a lower view. The road leading to the car park can make a nice lead to the picture.

LOL with that many components, you are looking at at least 1000W PSU. Get the Skulltrail man, and then get the Quad Extreme processors. Don't forget to max out your RAMs as well.

Then again, you don't need that many processors unless you are going to render videos or 3D imaging. Not many software can make full use of multi threads, yet.

Changing the screen to matte with a piece of plastic doesn't work that way la

It does not make anyone feel good. So no points posting here... I think this post should be removed la... Kind of sensitive and might create brand wars... If want to condemn brand, try Orange, I think they are used to it...

No matter what, D3 is still da best camera in the world

get real guys. what is the best monitor around 20-24 inch. dont suggest 30" acd. desk cannot support.

23" ACD, unless you want to go for the 24" Eizo series

hahahaha...mavik...
skulltrail is super big...i need a server rack for it...
and it cost 2.5k!
hohohohoh...
and the core 2 extreme....is 5k+!
mati wooooo....

wyluxx...
my dell 24" is doing fine so far...maybe u can try the new dell 24...its cheap too!

I just noticed the comparison between the two pics again. Isn't the crop inconsistent?

whatever u interpret, when u come back, make sure u stick to niko and not cano. else we kick your butt.
