    As technoblue mentioned, I too would toss the WD Reds and go with either a single Black or 1TB SSD (bump up the 950 to a 1TB drive). Reserve the Reds for a NAS and use that to house your media and backups. You will not need your beast computer to be on and streaming by going with a NAS. Yes, you can copy drive to drive. You are basically copying your disk and then copying to a new one. Ideally, you should go either to a same sized drive/partition or larger drive. It's safer. Going to a smaller drive requires shrinking your partition and some cleaning to shrink it down. technoblue mentioned one that can do it. Others are Acronis True Image, Clonezilla, Paragon, EaseUS, etc. But if you go to a smaller partition (or size) on the SSD, I would do some cleanup on the original before moving to the SSD. Fortunately, there are plenty of guides for this.

    Mod Note jvmacross. Dobber. Don't start. =============== 2019.....Jeebus, he's going to be 77 by the time this movie comes out.

    I will say most computers have an average shelf-life of 3 years, depending on usage. After 3 years, the update-itch comes. Obviously it comes faster for laptops, but desktops can go on for about 5 years before things really catch up. With that in mind, Ivy Bridge still has a lot of power to it and will likely hold out for another year, maybe more, depending on use. But as SchizophrenicMC and technoblue mentioned, everything around it is moving on. And if you want to future-proof, it's best to look at the rest of the organs, not just the brain. USB 3.1 support, for starters, is definitely something I would look at if future-proofing.

    Well, at least this show will have not shortage of potential harem-endings.

    frothymug, as the saying goes, your mileage may vary. You may get an ASUS board that exhibits no problems. You may get one that causes nothing but heart ache.

    I'm gonna second mikeszekely on the ASUS boards. My experience with them lately hasn't been good. I do some minor overclocking and my ASUS boards would occasionally freak out on me. Nothing bad, but annoying. I'll be steering away from ASUS boards on my next upgrade. I also will back the 970 GPU upgrade. But at the same time, I'm not running a 4k monitor or a command center of monitors, just a simple 2-monitor setup. The 970 more than meets my needs.

    Recall that I asked about VR headsets a couple pages back. And that's why I ask about these things. Damn you Valve. Damn you.

    Yeah, it does look awkward. Whether or not that will be fixed in the final product, I don't know.

    That would screw with his semi-impaired peripheral vision even more...I would hate it if the shutters closed more at the wrong moment.

    Wait for it. They likely will not need it during the first few episodes.

    So they went with the Romita/Ditko-look. CGI big eyes. No. Just no. It just looks silly. Deadpool did it better. And strips on the suit. No. Just no. Suit webbing could stand out a bit more. The Raimi-suit and TASM 2's suit still look better in that respect.

    I think the guy rendering the image was drunk or something. It's fixed in the GERWALK mode-rendering. Kawamori probably looked at Delta-05 and looked at the YF-30 toy and said, "I should fix that."

    I guess her working clothes looks better than the street clothes?

    Mit, in the future, please use more descriptive titles for your threads. "Few alternatives..." is not descriptive.

    Out of all of Craig's films, it wasn't as bad as Quantum of Solace which started fine, then just went downhill.
  17. azrael
    And lock. Could've just let the thread fall into oblivion like it was going to.

    Finished X-Files. Perhaps someone should explain what a mini-series is to Chris Carter. Three episodes of story and 3 episodes of filler. You don't have a lot of time to tell your story. Wasting half of the mini-series on filler isn't a constructive use of the series.

    At least they acknowledge Grant Wilson. That's a name that doesn't get mentioned much compared to his brother. Concerning Flash, the producers have said Zoom is Zolomon. Wells and Jay seem pretty familiar with each other so without a doubt, the one Zoom killed was (a) Jay. And we've seen Zolomon on Earth-1, who is a nobody. So either Zoom is a clone of Jay, another Earth's speedster, or a Zoom from a different point in time. The man in the iron mask is either the real Jay of Earth 2, another Earth's Jay, or someone who knows Jay. Either way, my head was hurting trying to reconcile all the possible ways they could do this.

    +1. Not even on my radar.

    Yes, the VA for the animated shorts is also the live-action actress.

    "Elektra" trailer. So I guess the A-story is The Hand-story since that seems to be the bigger picture while the B-story is Punisher?

    Jeans.......

    Great. We're already being dicks to our robots and we haven't even taught them how to kill us yet. That's going to help the relationship....

    Meh. Get off my lawn.
