gonna hijack this thread, can someone with lots of hardware experience look this over real quick and make sure everything nis kosher? I've got a 1tb drive and a shitty GPU I'm going to take from my current computer, but in two weeks or so I'm going to get a nice GPU

I'm open to recommendations regarding the case and the GPU to get eventually, but aside from that these all look pretty solid to me

Cooler Master's HAF line are all pretty rock solid cases. I am currently using the HAF X.(http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=100006644&isNodeId=1&Description=Cooler+Master+HAF&x=0&y=0)

Alternatively, I would recommend a Corsair 600T (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139005)

In terms of GPU, I would say an ATi HD 6970, or an nvidia 580 if you can afford it. ASUS, MSI or Gigabyte if you're buying ATi. EVGA, ASUS or MSI if you're buying nvidia.

The nvidia card will have better drivers and will probably have a bit better performance in video games, but there is a significant price bump.

On your power supply, I had that power supply. GET THE MODULAR VERSION. It's worth every penny. The shear size of the spaghetti ball attached to the antec 650 is absolutely staggering and unless you have a full tower you will not be able to stash it effectively. It will drive you crazy. Also it has way way way too many molex connectors.

woops too late, ordered it three days ago.

One last question, got paid last week and I'm ready to ordr a GPU. Would this card be severely overkill or a decent investment? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005760836/?tag=pcpapi-20

I was waiting for black friday/cuber monday for some decent deals but that was bunk this year, newegg only had a single good card and it sold out in hours.

It's a perfectly good decision. All relevant data for advanced users is still accessible in the log file as always, and now unexperienced users actually get an instruction on what they're supposed to do with the screen (google the error code). People who whine about this are utterly stupid!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the speed of light supposed to stay constant regardless of your point of reference?
>> ID: 95b055 0 No. 13737
>>13736
gravity affects the speed of light, see black holes. It is also only constant in a perfect vacuum, which space is not.
>> ID: aca6f7 -1 No. 13738
>>13736

Yes, it's supposed to. However, time moves slower for an observer who is in a moving frame of reference. Since light still travels the same speed the person in that frame of reference perceives light to actually move faster. That kind of discrepancy is calculated out using relativity in the final result. So the only possible answers right now are: 1. Neutrinos can access dimensions we can't perceive and can skip space along their path of travel to arrive places faster or 2. their calculations are incorrect.

the first one isnt that new is it? im sure ive seen stuff similar to this done before elsewhere. arent there even cameras already out with several lenses (to take photos from slightly different perspectives so they can build a 3D scene) that can do similar shit on the actual camera?

the deblurring thing is a new one on me though, but i dont follow this kinda shit

both p cool either way
