Trading Grounds / W.T.B Tower
« on: April 13, 2015, 01:23:17 AM »
Yes, again.

My main machine is being a bit odd so I want to get a basic tower as a backup. Willing to spend around $3500. (Maybe more if it's worth it)

Once it's a complete system that's not 20 years outdated I'm good. I have mouse, keys and monitor already so just tower is needed.

Trading Grounds / WTB "Cheap" Tower
« on: January 05, 2014, 06:00:30 PM »
Probably the third time in the last year I'm asking this but long story short, my main system is going under the knife and I have a serious backlog of work to complete within the next week or two.

As it's a temporary thing, I just need basic specs.
I can throw my old video card.

Max I can spend right now is $1200. Would love to get it by Wednesday.

Thanks in advance guys.

Ole Talk / Mac Help Required
« on: January 03, 2014, 10:46:17 PM »
Slightly frustrated atm so sorry if I posted in the wrong spot.

Bought a mac(Mid 2009 used) about a couple weeks ago for work and upon updating to Mavericks from Mountain Lion the system significantly slowed down til a couple days ago it just stopped booting up. It reaches something called Disk Utility and from there there's a bunch of stuff that my newfound impatience just can't deal with.

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who could help rectify this problem? Need it as soon as possible too because I don't have any other working machines at my use and work is piling up.

Thanks in advance.

Trading Grounds / WTB Tower

I've been warring with technology over the past year or so. My desktop died then my laptop, got a new laptop and this one seems to have some issue with Photoshop.

I was looking at some basic diy tower bundles on newegg but I though that I should check here first.

Any of you guys looking to part ways with an old tower soon? Probably around the price range of $2000?
I know at that price I won't be able to get much but it'll be better than what I have now.


Not at this very moment but probably closer to the end of the month when I get paid.

Trading Grounds / FS. Camera Body + Gear
« on: July 14, 2012, 09:43:09 AM »
Getting rid of old/neglected gear to make room for new.

Canon XSi(450D) w/ 18-55mm kit lens + Canon 430EX Flash(bulb needs replacing)
Free LowePro Camera Bag + 16gb SD
In Good Working Condition.
I lost the lens cap for the 18-55mm though.
$3000 w/ 18-55mm
$3500 w/ 70-300mm
$4000 w/ both


Sigma 70-300mm Macro w/ hood, UV filter and pouch.
Barely Used. Excellent Condition
$2000

I'm also looking to replace a slightly faulty(needs cleaning) Sigma 17-70 f2.8-5 Macro. The lens has been my buddy for about a year and a half now so the body itself shows a lot of wear. SHARP as woah and works fairly well on the wider end with low light. Only problem is that the AF is super slow/inaccurate so I manual focus mostly. I've been told that it can be fixed by cleaning it.
$2500 as it's still my main lens for work.


PM for contact/etc.

News / Life On The Moon
« on: November 14, 2009, 07:59:52 AM »
well not yet but they got the next best thing!

Quote
LOS ANGELES — The lunar dud for space enthusiasts has become a watershed event for NASA.
Spacecraft that crashed into the moon last month kicked up a relatively small plume. But scientists have confirmed the debris contained water — 25 gallons of it — making lunar exploration exciting again.

Experts have long suspected there was water on the moon. So the thrilling discovery announced Friday sent a ripple of hope for a future astronaut outpost in a place that has always seemed barren and inhospitable.

"We found water. And we didn't find just a little bit. We found a significant amount," Anthony Colaprete, lead scientist for the mission, told reporters as he held up a white water bucket for emphasis.

Media / A Few Trailers: Salt, Green Zone, Invictus, Dear John
« on: November 11, 2009, 09:26:56 AM »
just searchin teh internetz for interesting stuff and I stumbleD across thesee

Salt
In Columbia Pictures' Salt, Angelina Jolie stars as Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who swore an oath to duty, honor, and country. When she is accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy, Salt goes on the run to clear her name and ultimately prove she is a patriot. Using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative, she must elude capture and protect her husband or the world's most powerful forces will erase any trace of her existence.



Green Zone
Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller is a rogue U.S. Army officer who must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil before war escalates in an unstable region. Matt Damon doing what he does best...Kick azz and shoot the bad guys :)


Invictus
"From director Clint Eastwood, 'Invictus' tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africas rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africas underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match."


Dear John
Directed by Lasse Halström and based on the novel by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, DEAR JOHN tells the story of John Tyree (Channing Tatum), a young soldier home on leave, and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), the idealistic college student he falls in love with during her spring vacation. Over the next seven tumultuous years, the couple is separated by Johns increasingly dangerous deployments. While meeting only sporadically, they stay in touch by sending a continuous stream of love letters overseas--correspondence that eventually triggers fateful consequences.

A nice lil movie to carry the girlfriend. She mite even appreciate yuh more after :P

Wacky World of Weird News! / 2012 Miscalculation
« on: November 11, 2009, 12:11:33 AM »

"News is spreading quickly here that scientists writing in a (Dutch) popular science periodical (google translation linked) have debunked the 2012 date featuring so prominently in doomsday predictions/speculation across the web. On 2012-12-21, the sun will appear where you would normally be able to see the 'galactic equator' of the Milky Way; an occurrence deemed special because it happens 'only' once every 25.800 years, on the winter solstice. However, even if you ignore the fact that there is no actual galactic equator, just an observed one, and that the visual effect is pretty much the same for an entire decade surrounding that date, there are major problems with the way the Maya Calendar is being read by doomsday prophets.
