Computing / upgraded to the GTX 760

From the 550ti - amazing difference!! It has taken all games Ive thrown at it so far in stride. It's a super cool card too, runs at half the temps the 550ti did. 

Great great card. Thanks craigslist

It feels good to get 60+ fps without even trying or editing the settings.

Gaming / Pillars of eternity?

« on: August 20, 2015, 11:59:13 AM »

Y'all into this? Just got it last night enjoyed it for 4 ish hours. First time really playing a "real-time" RTS RPG. Like the dynamics so far but there is definitely a learning curve for the uninitiated, even on Easy mode.

If you played baulder's gate i suppose it would be quite familiar.

Really impressed by this. Computers are going to be so awesome. Can't wait for them to implement this into vidya cards.

Also, the price of SSDs will plummet. WOOHOO here we come 1TB+ SSDs fo cheap

Computing / Building a PC for my girl for XMAS

« on: December 08, 2014, 10:27:02 AM »

She needs a computer, her laptop crapped out and she has no computing devices other than phone and tablet. Since she's not in school anymore I don't see the need for a laptop so I'm going with a desktop.


Budget intel build with room for expansion if need be:


Intel Core i3-4330 Haswell Dual-Core 3.5GHz
Team Elite Plus 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ASRock Z97 Pro3 LGA 1150 Intel Z97
CORSAIR CX series CX430 430W
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A/120G 2.5" 120GB

Total $441.. Did some shuffling around after the black friday/cyber monday deals dropped off, but this build looks pretty solid for a general browsing/netflix machine and should last her quite a while. No CD drive because she doesn't really need one, and I also have a Wifi card I already have I'll be throwing in there. No video card because no gaming and the integrated intel HD should be fine for Netflix/streaming.

I am slightly jealous because I've never had a custom Intel build, but am still on my AMD from last year. I can run Far Cry on high so not that jealous but I would eventually like an Intel build for myself.

SSD because she won't be downloading a whole bunch of crap and I want it to be fast to load/boot etc. Can stick a storage drive on there later if need be.

Thoughts, comments, concerns?

Happy holidays to all

Creation Station / Alright, I'm a fucking DJ

« on: May 14, 2013, 10:31:50 AM »

So over the past few years my skills have grown considerably in the world/art of DJ/mixing and now producing.  Here is my bio that will sum up what I'm about now, with some links to new material and my FB page. Please share it up

"My name is Josh Christensen, known better as DJ eLove8 (elevate). Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, I am an up-and-coming local Arizona DJ and producer looking to bring my energetic style of song selection and mixing to the local underground scene, and the world.

After playing around with different styles, I found my home in House music and all sub genres I could get my hands on. I mostly stick to a Progressive sound blended with funky, groovy ass House, using deep basslines and powerful synths together in a way that makes for an immersive, explosive, psychedelic, auditory experience.
