    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...

    I had a hard time maintaining a wireless connection between my PC and PS3 while testing Windows 7 Media player with my PS3. I live in a condo so I have people sharing three of my walls. I also found out that my wireless N network served by a linksys router would get jammed in frequencies and...

    Taking my first steps outside of work.

    I agree with everything in the OP. Spending 10-14 hours a day in front of the computer takes a toll and all I want to do when I get home is relax for the 1-2 hours I get before I have to rinse and repeat. I've always wanted to break away from war games and simulations and apply myself in the...

    confusing Windows 7 features

    I'm pretty confused on the Windows 7 editions, but I suspect a lot of people were at first. I'm looking to buy a retail laptop, but I could use help in deciding which Windows7 edition will meet my needs. I'll be doing photo editing, playing games, and developing software. For instance, what...

    Nhl 11

    I picked up NHL 11 this week to replace my NHL 2001 copy on the PS2. The controls are much more complicated, but I'm going to give it my best. The game play and physics are far more realistic as opposed to the 2001 game.

    What installation media is included with laptops?

    I decided to do a quick chat with a Lenovo rep this afternoon. He said that Lenovo will sell a restoration DVD but only on certain models. I didn't get information on which model, but I did find out that they will not distribute a Windows disk or Office disk should you need to reinstall from...

    What installation media is included with laptops?

    I've not bought from retailers like this before, but I'm looking into getting a laptop in the near future. I haven't decided on a brand, but I'm pretty sure it will be Lenovo. I was wondering if when you buy directly from the manufacturer whether or not you got the original software media...

    Crap, I'm playing Sim City 4 again.

    I lost my strategy guide to a flood and I can't seem to find a replacement. :( If anyone knows where I can get a copy, please let me know. I love this game. I still have it installed along with the transportation mod and patches. I always liked placing the missile base next to the airport...

    Inexpensive gift ideas for a photo buff

    Book and memory cards are great ideas. I have a D90 and had a hard learning curve at first. I got some blue crane instructional DVDs and have enjoyed the camera so much more now that I think I know what I'm doing. Also for future reference, The Washington Photo Safari takes groups around and...

    adjusting picture on new TV

    I recently purchased a Panasonic Viera TC-P50G25. I have it installed and hooked up via HDMI to a cable box. I like the picture well enough but I've noticed that the top and bottom content is cut off. I know this because on sports programs, the score that usually is displayed on the top left...

    Functional equivalent wireless lan adaptor (DY-WL10)

    I'm very happy to have replaced my old Panasonic 32" Tau with a new 50" Viera. But I'm looking to hook up the new TV to my wireless network. So far, I have found the Panasonic dongle that they sell for an absurd price. Has anyone found a functional equivalent that is much cheaper? I'm also...

    Nikon or Canon

    Sound advice all. I had this decision to make last year. Not having any existing equipment made my decision hard. I went with a D90. Overall, I thought the lenses were a little less costly, but not by much. In fact, I think it was the way the grip felt. I have large hands and the larger...

    Who else couldn't care less about 3d?

    The local best buy had both the Samsung 3d LCD and the Panasonic 3d Plasma out for demo. I tried to watch the LCD screen with their 3d glasses and I couldn't stand more than 10 seconds. The plasma on the other hand was much easier to watch. Yeah it was pretty cool, but as I think about...

    wireless surround speakers

    I'm renting a condo so running wires in the wall is a no-no. I guess I was hoping for a solution where I could attach a device off the receiver (power supplied by receiver) that would transmit to rear speakers. The rear speakers would have to have a device that would be locally powered (wall...

    wireless surround speakers

    what are you more interested in? google tv or 3D tv?

    I heard some 3d content will become available through service providers this summer. I tried the in-store 3d demo with the Panasonic p50vt25 I think. It was pretty cool, but I don't know if I can fork over the extra $800 for that feature. Especially if it's not been market tested.

    TV Widgets: open / closed

    I'm in the market for a replacement TV. I've only started looking at new TVs but a lot of them seem to advertise internet connectivity. Based on what I'm reading in places like Crutchfield, these set tops are basically closed boxes. Thus you get a "package" or group of widgets and in most...

    Name your favorite "classic" PC game ...

    Civilization 2 / MOO 2 Sim City 4 Privateer / Freelancer A lot of these games have one thing in common, they're open ended in some way. They're also highly re-playable without actually feeling like you've done the same thing twice. Both are huge pluses in my book. I tried the MMORPG like...

    Heros V

    Is anyone else getting tired of building systems?

    I like the idea of full customization and the feeling I'm getting bang for my buck. I don't like the retailers that ship PCs with preinstalled junk because some mega corporation payed them off. It used to be that you could reformat and reinstall with the disks your retailer provided, but even...

    How to compensate for contrasting subjects

    I'm not an expert on this but I think there might be a way to capture what you're looking for in camera without a lot of post processing. Exposure compensation probably won't help. However, have you tried to setup your camera for spot metering and use the exposure lock? So zoom in on one...

    Inspiration...

    I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. I have an itch to go out and shoot, but I'm at a loss on where to go what to see. Granted it's late Winter here in Northern Virginia and all the gloom isn't helping. All around us are large wooded parks and wetlands that have been set aside by...
