Len filter for Solar Eclipse

If you want to shoot up and you value your sensor, you will get a solar filter for it. A polarizer or ND filter will NOT do. That's especially true if you are planning to use a DSLR and plan to use the viewfinder. The filter is not required for the three minutes or so of TOTAL eclipse...

Windows 10 setup for proper ssd hdd operation

Thank you both for your replies. Yes, I was looking for the settings in Win10 that let me relocate my Users folder. I did end up finding a few other resources that recommended creating symbolic links and other install time trickery. I'm going to try the simple solution for now. Thanks again.

Windows 10 setup for proper ssd hdd operation

Does anyone know of any reputable guides on how to properly setup a fresh install of windows 10 so that applications are stored on the sdd and program data (such as the users folder) is stored on the hdd? This is my first build with ssd. Thanks.

Yet another Skybridge build (RFC)

Oh and I found this today, there's a newer monitor from the pg278q, and this one is an IPS panel. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus_rog_swift_pg279q.htm

Yet another Skybridge build (RFC)

@maddogchen you're so right. I had the hardest time determining which motherboard to pick. It came down to three options, Z170 A, Maximus Hero, and the Deluxe. What I saw on newegg seemed to indicate no audio for the Z170 A, but looking on Asus' website, that's clearly not the case. I'm...

what are people buying these days?

I'm in the same boat. I get the general feeling that people like us who have ancient systems and no reusable parts seem to be opting for Skylake. But I'm not convinced that's the right option for me. The Haswell-E (previous architecture) is very strong and you'll find lots of articles...

Upgrade from Clarksfield

Thank you for the reply. You've given me some things to investigate. I'll see what I can find out with regards to performance between 2 video cards in SLI versus 3 and 4. Maybe I'm not giving Skylake enough credit. Another good point I read recently was in regards to Intel releases. They...

Upgrade from Clarksfield

Yes, I've been out of the game for some time. The little laptop that won't die is slowly becoming obsolete as a gaming platform, and the last time I made a desktop build was 2002. Over the next month, I hope to get smart again (with your help). The reason for this post to help clarify which...

Why do almost ALL my pictures come out soft??

Briefly skimmed all the responses. Lots of excellent advice, though I'm one for getting the shot right in the camera as opposed to post processing. I have a friend who shoots Canon and complains about sharpness while using a tripod. His solution was to disable image stabilization. I have a...

looking to buy ND filters

I currently own a Coklin P-series soft graduated filter, but I am finding that filter is causing sharpness issues. The filter itself is plastic not glass so I suspect that might be part of the reason. The filter was cheap and served its purpose, but I no longer want to put cheap filters over...

seeking advice on NAS solution

Yeah the Thecus consumer line is a bit more expensive, but I'm seeing a trend in hardware. For that reason, I feel the added memory will come in handy. So I guess that rules out the 211j series. And as far as capability goes and simplicity, it looks like the 211 has it. The DNS-325 would...

seeking advice on NAS solution

Thanks for the advice folks. My goal is to downsize my electronics footprint. I thought about solutions like freeNAS. However, my "old PC" is about 11 years old, power hungry, has 256MB RAM, and has 2 IDE drives for a grand total of 500GB! IDE drives are expensive and hard to come by. The...

seeking advice on NAS solution

I am looking to add a NAS device to my network at home and I would like to get your opinion on a few devices I had in mind. One of my preferences for a commercial NAS instead of home built solution is to keep things simple, small, and unobtrusive. It's unfortunate that Anandtech doesn't carry...
