I'm not paying a premium for a 10k rpm at a smaller size. Storage capacity is more important to me. I'll switch out the Mobo. with the one you linked me to, I didn't see that eVGA one. I think i'll stick with the video card I have chosen.

D_V_Denvull That PhysX thing is a card that solely for the purpose of rendering game physics... it is a "graphics card for physics"

Just haven't picked a PSU out yet. SLI in the future, the motherboard is for expandability.

if you've got a 7600 gs, you're probably sitting on a 430-500 watt.

no guarantee I'm actually going to buy yet. But I'm setting up a parts list at the moment. Still debating motherboard and graphics cards.

rogers arm looks messed up (fretting arm) his hair is also darker. The whole scene is quite bright for a concert to be honest.

I agree, I wanted to try it out to see how it was done. Hopefully I can apply this to new things When i was messing with it i discovered a few new things ;) Also regarding the darkness... I did want to create it to be dark, and i realize i went a tad to much. I didn't care because this was just me trying something new, and to learn a little bit.

Reworked this image of myself. http://dimentichisi.deviantart.com/art/ ... e-72300048 was going to do it red-themed but couldn't get it to look right. I need to take another portrait of myself with some kind of evil expression and do this.

Magic, wow.. havent seen you around FOREVER nice 666 posts :P

Update: DA link - http://dimentichisi.deviantart.com/art/ ... e-73986140 A collaberation between me and Nadril. He did the terragen render, and the C4D renders, I did the editing/processing. original file was ~5000px at the widest. The c4d's were rendered at 8000px at their widest. Currently untitled - and awaiting Nadril for confirmation of it being completed. Small -preview Full size: 1680x1050 wallpaper [hide][/hide] WIP's [hide][/hide]

if your wondering how i did them it's quite simple I lowered the exposer quite low in adobe light room (you can also do it on-camera) and converted to Grey scale. After than I adjusted the levels to get more contrast, darker shadows and brighter highlights. after that i brought it into photoshop and did some sharpening, and added color with radial gradients, and blending modes. The concept behind both the photos is abstract photos with hints of "space" to me they look like space scenes with nebula's, and asteroid belts, where the light source is making the droplets and ice crystals look like asteroids floating in space. With the added color and bokeh (blur) the nebula's come in to play. It's just a mater of how you perceive it, the first one is more easily comprehended into a space scene.

disregard the descriptions on DA, i have told Tip.It the answers. look in the first post :P

I - Water Droplets http://dimentichisi.deviantart.com/art/ ... y-72380946 II - Snow http://dimentichisi.deviantart.com/art/ ... I-73812371 Made a 2nd one and continued with the same style as number 1.

im positive. i use to be able to fix it, but now i cant. it involved me opening the file that played to bright in one player, and also opening it in a second player (usually divx, and vlc) once the 2nd player open and started playing both reverted to normal

when i play some videos on my computer they are over-bright its different types of video, mov, divx, avi and so on some play fine, some do not. also, regular dvds play over-bright any ideas?

yep, im mailing out drugs in case no one has used this yet, shipping is not included in the 100$ minimum order to get the 20$ off.
