Behold. My new wife.

Unsure. As it is, i can't even read the stepping

Heck, i don't overclock my PC by 1 mhz, my timings are still stock 3-3-3-8.

I'm very much the antithesis of "extreme", i'm as "extreme" as warm tea with 2 cubes of sugar when it comes to PCs these days.

Heck all i do is listen to classical music on them while writing my articles, reading webpages and tech papers, download porn, put shit in EaglePCB and save osci readings

Time to get a Lanparty 680i-LT, for another 2 years of frustration.....ah....good times.

Yeah baby. New rig. Not all the stuff is new

C2Q 6600
Storm G4 Rev2 waterblock
MCP355 with Petra's Modded Top
Black Ice Extreme 1 with twin Papst 4412M Multifans
Usus P5N32-E SLI 680i motherboard
4gb of Crucial Ballistix Running 3-3-3-12 (EPP capable)
Twin Thermalright HR-05 to cool the Northbridge and Southbridge
Twin Thermalright HR-09 for MOSFET cooling
HD2900XT 512mb graphics card
Audigy2ZS digital out to Zhaolu 2.0 to Sennheiser HD-650
Quad Western Digital 500gb HDDs
Twin Hitachi 500gb Enterprise HDDs
Twin 74gb Western Digital Raptors
Lian Li V2100 Plus II
Assortment of Papst and Panaflo casefans
EX-33 Drivebay and random DVDRW drives

Hard to find stock of the DFI mobo, so i gave up.

Nah, the audigy2zs' digital out is pretty decent, might upgrade to something better but maybe later. Audio not a priority right now.

I bought a new variable transformer. HOOAH!



It's only purpose being to switch voltages during power supply benchmarks to see how well they deal with out of spec voltages. Also hand crimped 3 prong plug and spades, yeah yeah i know, exposing contacts is a recipe for instant death, but i'll get to heatshrinking the things later lah.

Kind of too broke to get anything from the likes of Agilent or California Instruments

cheap. Got it for 350. The plug and wires aren't included, so i DIYed them.

Now building a power measurement shunt for great justice.

I don't see why anyone who isn't benchmarking PSUs or in need of voltage conversion would be needing one.

It's useful for seeing how a power supply responds to out of spec voltage tolerance. Since you can't change the voltage that comes out of a wall socket, this thing seems to be the next best any one can use. Plus you can put it inline with a shunt. A shunt is a resistor with a known resistance. By knowing ohm's law, by calculating the voltage drop across a resistor with a known voltage from the variable transformer, you can generally calculate power consumption and power factor.

Just bought my new Extech 380801 PC connect Power analyzer. Will post pics later.

Ok, here's the pics of my new stuff

My new Extech power analyzer


24-105L 4.0 and 16-35L 2.8 (didn't buy it lol)


Team Fortress T-shirts

Valve store. Expensive at 19USD each, but the quality is seriously good, plus it's just cool when your T-shirt says "i was never really on your side" lol.

Here's a reminder. US Sizes are abit bigger than Malaysians go for. So if you wear XL here, buy an L at the Valve store.

Why would it rosak?

It's fine actually.

The neo magnet inside the HDD case is enough for most polarization, and the EM waves radiated from a PSU are of high frequencies and high order harmonics. Nothing really to get jumpy over.

2nd is that the PSU doesn't ionize any air going through it. Any ionization would indicate flawed grounding and hi-pot failure.

LOL RAMS ARE INFERIOR.

CANON L-CLASS LENSES ARE SUPERIOR.

Although i'm supposed to post in the Photography section, i'm always a HW person so i'll poast and boast here




6.3k for a chunk of glass.

After borrowing it for awhile and dicking around with payment.

I has finally gotten mah wideangle piece of glass to complement my half paid for 24-105L 4.0 IS (Thanks J for being understanding)



hit to wallet = 4.2k

lol, you got 30incher laaaah.

I understand if people with 17in complain

Actually the lense is quite small, my 70-200 is 3 times longer and weighs 6 times more.

EOS Electro Optical System 5D

Yeah Baby, now my rig is complete (except for a lack of flash and battery grip)

Around the lines of 7.

Expensive hobby. Come to think of it, for some reason my PC hasn't been upgraded in ages But i'm happy with my PC.

Pics of hawt lolis.

and bathing women.

and of course, because smaller lenses don't give me F2.8 or 4 stop image stabilization which are f***ing awesome.

Depends, alot of shots are best taken from far away so the bride and groom can act natural without having the lense in their face.

But for a less powerful but equally expensive equivalent, i use the 16-35mm 2.8L
