[03:04]<+camerongray> BC_Programming: Replied to your thread
[03:04]<@BC_Programming> cool
[03:05]<@BC_Programming> huh I thought it was just sockets
[03:05]<@BC_Programming> should I swap the board or the CPI?
[03:06]<@BC_Programming> CPU*
[03:09]<@BC_Programming> also how is this for a PSU: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=580994&CatId=5439
[03:09]<@BC_Programming> Corsair TX650M
[03:19]<@BC_Programming> darn those changes take me up to 1350 but that's fine
[03:20]<Quantos> That's still well within your budget
[03:20]<Quantos> And if you're going to get a new one, then do it right, eh?
[03:20]<@BC_Programming> true
[03:21]<@BC_Programming> I just thought it would be cheaper to build a new machine than it was to build this one
[03:21]<@BC_Programming> but I guess this one was not top range at the time either since the first i7's were just coming out
[03:21]<Quantos> Then you're overdue man
[03:22]<@BC_Programming> I Could wait for my Tax Return and then go insane
[03:22]<Quantos> Trust me, I've read your posts, you didn't wait for that to happen....
[03:23]<Quantos> You went insane quite a while ago...
[03:23]<@BC_Programming> oh
[03:23]<@BC_Programming> I was trying to figure that out
[03:24]<Quantos> Yeah, I typed it and read five or six times before figuring out it was a fragment.
[03:24]<Quantos> It's my meds, sometimes they make me a bit loopy
[03:25]<@BC_Programming> I'll go with the 650 in my mind for the moment, if for whatever reason I need a bit more wattage I can always swap it with the power supply in this machine which is 750w
[03:26]<Quantos> There you go man, that's using the big round pancake ;)
[03:26] * Quantos isn't entirely sure that made sense either.
[03:27]<@BC_Programming> and an IPS monitor to go with it
[03:27]<Quantos> Oh nice
[03:27]<@BC_Programming> no sense buying a new machine and then using it with a dinky 1440x900 monitor that's going on a decade
[03:28]<Quantos> get a 24, I love that size, I have two matched RCA's side by side.
[03:28] * Guest29857 is now known as KindOne
[03:29]<Quantos> Of course I got a great deal on mine, I got both for $80.00 CDN
[03:29]<Quantos> Plus HDMI cables
[03:29]<@BC_Programming> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Perfect-Pixel-YAMAKASI-301-SPARTA-30-S-IPS-2560x1600-DVI-D-PC-Computer-Monitor-/141161911922?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item20dde7d672
[03:30]<@BC_Programming> despite what one may think, these get Calum's approval
[03:30]<@BC_Programming> If I remember correctly
[03:32]<Quantos> That's a sexy looking monitor
[03:32]<@BC_Programming> 30"
[03:32]<Quantos> And yeah, two of those would rock
[03:32]<@BC_Programming> THe original plan was to either get two of those, or do a build, then to the thing I Didn't do next time
[03:33]<@BC_Programming> And the issue is I'm not sure if my current PC could drive two of those monitors without problems, especially for games
[03:33]<Quantos> There you go, do the build and get one, then when your tax benefits come in you can add the second monitor
[03:34]<Quantos> BC, let me describe my rig. Lenovo thinkcentre m58E I think.
[03:35]<Quantos> With an old geForce 405 GPU, and I run two 24"s at 1080p.
[03:35]<@BC_Programming> I won't have enough to get one if I do the build is the thing, so I'll have to 'suffer' with this monitor at first... or I could just leave the parts in the corner I suppose
[03:36]<Quantos> Suffer with that monitor first, then you'll truly appreciate the desktop space of two monitors
[03:37]<Quantos> And it's not that long before your taxes come back, if you've done them already.
[03:38]<@BC_Programming> I did them within an hour of getting my T4 heh
[03:38]<@BC_Programming> online and all that
[03:38]<Quantos> HEhehe, Yeah, me too
[03:39]<Quantos> I like that software called simple tax
[03:39]<@BC_Programming> I used some studio thing that was on the list of software on the netfile site
[03:39]<Quantos> It runs in the browser, so I didn't need anything special to do my taxes on my Linux box
[03:39]<Quantos> And it's set up to use netfile as well, that's right
[04:44]<+camerongray> BC_Programming: Swap the CPU - Get the newest one :P
[04:45]<@BC_Programming> I switched it for a 4770K http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8037048&CatId=8741
[04:45]<@BC_Programming> I quoted myself in a reply and strikethrough'd and replaced some components
[04:46]<+camerongray> Ahh cool
[04:46]<+camerongray> You'd need to chat to Calum about the card on that monitor
[04:47]<+camerongray> But I'd avoid SLI at all costs, just get a better card
[04:47]<@BC_Programming> should I get another motherboard then
[04:47]<+camerongray> Oh - A 770 now, that's great
[04:47]<+camerongray> Nah, that's a great board
[04:47]<@BC_Programming> yeah I went with Gigabyte because that is what is in this one and it's served me well
[04:48]<+camerongray> Yeah, I'd only trust Gigabyte or ASUS on high end stuff
[04:48]<+camerongray> Biostar are fine for more basic systems though
[04:48]<Quantos> If by basic you mean boat anchor.... :P
[04:48]<+camerongray> lol - Biostar make great boards
[04:49]<+camerongray> A lot better than the stuff I've seen from the likes of MSI or ASRock
[04:49]<Quantos> Yeah, they block the light when you hold them up....
[04:49]<+camerongray> lol
[04:49]<Quantos> Sorry, I put all three in the same category
[04:49]<@BC_Programming> I can't see through that argument
[04:49]<@BC_Programming> see what I did there
[04:49]<+camerongray> I've used a few of these ones: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=593#ov
[04:50]<+camerongray> They are basic boards but unlike MSI they don't try too hard by shoving loads of gimmicks and marketing at them
[04:50]<@BC_Programming> "we make crappy boards and we know it, if you need a cheap board come to us"
[04:50]<+camerongray> lol
[04:50]<Quantos> You mean like the GPU that I talked BC out of?
[04:51]<@BC_Programming> you didn't talk me out of anything
[04:51]<+camerongray> What GPU was that?
[04:51]<@BC_Programming> I had no intention of buying it, I Was pointing out that GPU's are really bloody expensive
[04:51]<+camerongray> gigabyte are getting better at the low end though so I'm using them more
[04:51]<+camerongray> Ah
[04:51]<+camerongray> Actually, I built with a 780ti on Sunday :D
[04:51]<@BC_Programming> come to think of it I forget how much my 9800GT cost
[04:51]<+camerongray> Kickass card!
[04:51]<Quantos> It was an MSI card, I YELLED 'NO', don't do it, think of your children...
[04:52]<+camerongray> lol yeah, The one I used was a Inno3D I think
[04:53]<@BC_Programming> found it
[04:53]<@BC_Programming> tigerdirect.ca still has my order history haha
[04:53]<@BC_Programming> 124.97
[04:54]<Quantos> No way, they still have it? How long has it been?
[04:54]<@BC_Programming> Order Date: 07/21/09
[04:55]<Quantos> Geez, I know it's illegal, but I throw away tax information more recent than that.
[04:55]<+camerongray> This is the build I did on Sunday :D - http://s1146.photobucket.com/user/camerongray1515/library/PC%20Builds?sort=3&page=1
[04:56]<+camerongray> 4770k, 780ti, 32gb RAM, 2x 4tb HDD (RAID 1), 480gb Crucial M500 SSD, Lian Li PC-10NA case, Corsair H100i cooler, Pioneer BluRay burner, 650w SuperFlower Leadx PSU
[04:56]<Quantos> Nice looking build
[04:56]<@BC_Programming> 32GB dayum
[04:56]<+camerongray> lol yeah
[04:56]<+camerongray> Oh, and it's driving a 2560x1440 monitor
[04:56]<@BC_Programming> that's why I got 2x8GB though
[04:57]<+camerongray> Yeah
[04:57]<@BC_Programming> so I could upgrade later... wish I had done that for this one
[04:57]<@BC_Programming> 2x4GB instead of 4x2GB, oh well
[04:57]<+camerongray> Yeah
[04:57]<@BC_Programming> though I usually run out of taskbar space before I can run enough programs to cause any problems
[04:58]<@BC_Programming> my monitor protects me in this way
[04:58]<+camerongray> That card is a beast though - Got 35fps in the Unigine Valley benchmark with graphics on Ultra and 8x Anti Aliasing
[04:59]<+camerongray> At 1440p
[04:59]<@BC_Programming> geez all these components were cheap, this entire build was only >1000 because of tax, net cost was like $810
[04:59]<Quantos> LOL, that's hilarious BC
[04:59]<@BC_Programming> the one I'm using now, I mean
[05:03]<Quantos> Yeah, I gathered that...
[05:05]<+camerongray> BC_Programming: This PSU is your best bet I'd say: http://www.amazon.ca/650WATT-GOLD-COMPLIANT-MODULAR-SUPPLY/dp/B00EB7UIRS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393934655&sr=8-1&keywords=rm650
[05:05]<+camerongray> Also, look at Corsair's cases - Calum will cry if you buy a Thermaltake product
[05:06]<Quantos> that case was my recommendation
[05:06]<@BC_Programming> amazon doesn't take paypal
[05:06]<Quantos> Actually I suggested the windowless one
[05:07]<+camerongray> BC_Programming: Ahh, what about eBay
[05:07]<Quantos> They don't?
[05:07]<+camerongray> I like having a window :P
[05:07]<@BC_Programming> yeah went with the window just to be different
[05:07]<Quantos> I thought amazon would be all over paypal
[05:07]<+camerongray> Looks like a nice case, Calum will just cry :P
[05:08]<@BC_Programming> paypal is an eBay thing that sort of grew, but it competes against amazon's marketplace thing
[05:08]<Quantos> That's okay, he probably deserves it by now ...:P
[05:08]<Quantos> Don't tell him that I said that...
[05:08]<+camerongray> haha
[05:09]<+camerongray> Don't worry - Not like this entire channel is logged :P
[05:09]<@BC_Programming> DUN DUN DUN
[05:09]<Quantos> Oh Cam, can I ask you a question about mechanical keyboards?
[05:09]<Quantos> I found a used one that looks good for $30
[05:10]<Quantos> What is the benefit of a mechanical keyboard?
[05:10]<+camerongray> They tend to feel a lot better (IMO) to type on
[05:10]<+camerongray> Link?
[05:11]<+camerongray> Keys are just all really smooth and stable
[05:11]<Quantos> Let me find it again, it's Kijiji
[05:11]<Quantos> Give me about five mins
[05:11]<@BC_Programming> so used, hmm
[05:11]<+camerongray> cool
[05:11]<@BC_Programming> Unicomp get's my vote!
[05:11]<+camerongray> I'll need to give my model m a go again
[05:12]<@BC_Programming> the way the keys sound when I play minecraft makes me feel like a programmer
[05:12]<+camerongray> lol!
[05:16]<+camerongray> Going to give my Unicomp a go
[05:16]<@BC_Programming> you should only use one at a time
[05:17]<Quantos> It's a Razer Black Widow, and my bad he wants $80 for it
[05:17]<Quantos> Don't know why I was thinking $30
[05:17]<@BC_Programming> Unicomp keyboard I'm using is $79
[05:17]<@BC_Programming> though I can't remember if that was USD
[05:18]<+camerongray> Ahh yeah, the BlackWidow is pretty good
[05:18]<Quantos> So they are more durable as well?
[05:18]<+camerongray> Yeah
[05:18]<@BC_Programming> I liked the Blue Panda
[05:18]<+camerongray> Well, it depends what they are durable to
[05:18]<+camerongray> They don't wear out
[05:19]<+camerongray> But if you spill something it's a lot more serious than on a rubber dome board
[05:19]<@BC_Programming> though the Turquoise Turtle wasn't nearly as bad as the Lawn Green Latrine
[05:19]<Quantos> I haven't spilled anything on a keyboard in about 13 years
[05:19]<+camerongray> Ahh yeah
[05:19]<@BC_Programming> I imagined you saying that like the kool-aid guy
[05:20]<Quantos> LMAO
[05:22]<+camerongray> Going to need to tidy my desk if I am to use this Model M full time
[05:22]<+camerongray> Not enough space for it and my mouse:P
[05:22]<+camerongray> Even my wrist rest is too narrow for the keyboard
[05:23]<@BC_Programming> I just realized that if the kool aid guy feel asleep at his computer it would be a disaster
[05:29]<jamer> Lol
[05:29]<jamer> It would go from oh yeah to oh no
[05:30]<@BC_Programming> No he'd be dreaming about putting his juice all over kids
[05:30]<@BC_Programming> oj
[05:30]<@BC_Programming> ok
[05:30]<@BC_Programming> that came out wrong
[05:31]<+camerongray> That sounds like something I would manage to say!
[05:32]<jamer> camerongray because you would lol
[05:33]<@BC_Programming> you know what's funny
[05:33]<@BC_Programming> Bitcoin
[05:34]<@BC_Programming> MtGox just makes it more hilarious
[05:34]<@BC_Programming> and now MtGox's source code and database were stolen by hackers
[05:34]<@BC_Programming> complete with bank information and passport scans from confirmed accounts
[05:35]<@BC_Programming> which made me wonder one thing, why are folks paranoid about the government and it's control of money happily giving passport scans and bank and credit card information to a company in Japan that was named after a Trading Card Game?
[05:42]<+camerongray> lol!
[05:42]<+camerongray> I have like 1000 DogeCoin :P
[05:43]<@BC_Programming> well yeah but that's much safe, many secure
[05:43]<+camerongray> haha
[05:43]<+camerongray> Very wow
[07:47]<PCdoc> Not using a bad hard disk for a few months fixed that hard disk o.O
