Oh come on... Why not? Have you been a naughty developer this year?
like the rest of the world, he told me its crisis time!
if I could, I would like a Prusa I5 3D printer and a cnc based laser burner!!!
Probably some other accident.
(With all the maximum of optimism).
I'm getting one of these - http://www.cubot.net/smartphones/max/spec.html
I guess I just like cheap Chinese phones and big screens. I'm having to pay for it myself though.
Oh, and five weeks in Namibia and Botswana on Safari with friends, starting on 1st of December. Come to think of it, I'm having to pay for that as well and it's a damn sight more than a phone!
Still, 2 years since a vacation, so I'm worth it

It's my birthday and Christmas and so I usually treat myself to a bit of something, this year it's a G920 force feedback wheel with pedals and a shifter...
Last year it was a custom built water cooled PC which is what I'll be using it on. Has anyone played Project Cars? It's got some fantastic graphics and the handling is spot on!

Today? If so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I did once, it was pretty cool, a little bit buggy though... How's the latest build? Stable enough for a buy?

I've built many budget PC's for the kids, family and friends. But last Christmas I wanted to replace my ageing Dell Dimension 9150 running a Pentium D with something a little more future proof. The Dell is 9 years old and still going strong, and I wanted to built something that would last at least 5 years whilst also learning something new. Therefore I challenged myself to build the quietest and most powerful system I could afford....
- i7 6700k @4.2GHz
- Asus M8 Hero Alpha Mobo
- 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz Corsair Veneance (2x8GB sticks)
- GTX 980ti Zotac AMP! GPU
- 256GB M.2 Samsung SM951 (OS Drive)
- 960GB SSD SanDisk Ultra II (Data & Game Files)
- 240GB SSD SanDisk Ultra II (Backup/Sys Image)
- 1200W Cosair HX1200i PSU
- Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Case
- Asus ROG Front Base Panel
- Custom water cooling loop consisting of...
- 420 XSPC triple fan rad in top of case
- 240 XSPC thick dual fan rad in bottom of case
- Dual D5 Pump & reservoir combination
- 3 off Phanteks PH-140SP green LED fans (top of case)
- 4 off Phanteks PH-F120SP fans (bottom rad & front/back of case)
- Primochill UV green acrylic tubing.
It's been up and running for almost a year and I've no complaints. I'd like to add a water block to the GPU now that the warranty is coming to an end and possibly attempt SLI if the price of the Zotac drops to an acceptable level, I've never used SLI before. I should really try to get some better pic's as the ones below were taken using my aging S3 (maybe it's time for a new phone before all else
).
And I've played a little with overclocking the system just to see what it will do. Normally I tend to keep everything at stock speed and run the system as cool and quiet as possible. But should I want to push it I reckon it could get 4.8GHz out of the processor.
So far I have managed a stable overclock of 4.738GHz with the RAM @ 3090MHz and the GPU @ 1250MHz with GPU RAM @ 1900MHz, and the results of this are shown below....
I wish I had more money and more time as I really enjoyed this build and would love to try a slightly more adventurous custom build next time. Hardline tubing definitely requires a great deal of patience!!!
My present (from myself to me): https://www.london.gov.uk/events/2016-12-31/london-new-years-eve-fireworks-2016
Living in the UK you would probably expect that I would have done this at least once, but in all honesty I've never even been to London. I think that the New Year celebrations is definitely one to add to the bucket list. Maybe when the kids are older and its just me and the wife.
I did build this PC five years ago and exchanged some parts in the meantime. The goal was to have very good performance for a very low price. I can play games like Skyrim or AC Black Flag at very good settings (the rest of the parts are just standart coolers, motherboard, etc...):
B4X:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3,4GHz
8GB Ram
GeForce GTX 960 4GB
Samsung 256GB SSD
Samsung 1TB HDDThe Phenomenon II X4 is a solid processor. I build my son a gaming rig about 3 years ago using an AMD FX 6300 and I've been impressed with the performance it achieves for the price. It was the first system I've built using AMD as I tend to prefer Intel (just because I'm more familiar with Intel).
