7artisans 25mm F1.8 Lens for Micro Four Thirds | Overview & Sample Photos/Video

Hey, everyone.

Let's see how well the 7artisans 25mm F1.8 Lens for Micro Four Thirds lens performs. First you'll get to know a quick overview of the lens and afterwards you'll see some sample photos and videos. Part of the sample video was shot last Monday when we went up to Santa Fe and part of it is from today when we went for a walk near the Rio Grande. I like this lens and I will be using it a lot more often and I'll work on bringing you more samples of how this lens performs.

Xeonomorph | Part 5C | Benchmarks (2 of 2)

Hey, everyone.

Here is part two of the benchmarks and gameplay with knowing Xeonomorph is 100% complete. In terms of graphical game settings we're using the high preset for the most part. Look at the beginning of each game for the specifics. Resolution is at 1920 x 1080 and we have disabled V-Sync on all games. We're also running with the latest NVIDIA drivers as of the time of the testing.

System specs:
Dell Precision T1600
Intel Xeon E3-1245 (v1)
8GB DDR3 RAM
250GB HDD
2TB Hitachi HDD
EVGA GTX 970 SSC

Xeonomorph | Part 5B | Benchmarks (1 of 2)

Hey, everyone.

With Xeonomorph being 100% complete we can now see how well it performs with gaming. The swap from the R9 290 to the EVGA GTX 970 SSC should provide us a huge boost in performance. The 2TB drive should give us plenty of space to store all of these games. In terms of graphical game settings I prefer using the high preset on most games as a basis for our benchmarks and gameplay. Some games will run at a lot higher setting which you will see with Battlefield 1. Resolution is at 1920 x 1080 and we have disabled V-Sync on all games. We're also running with the latest NVIDIA drivers as of the time of the testing.

Xeonomorph | Part 5 | 100% Complete!

Hey, everyone.

Xeonomorph is 100% complete! It had a great start but the AMD R9 290 was holding the whole system back due to it's temperature issue. After careful consideration we decided to flip the card and were able to get an awesome deal on an EVGA GTX 970 SSC graphics card plus add an additional 2TB hard drive. I feel we have succeedded on creating an awesome budget gaming rig for this summer. Stay tuned for benchmarks and gameplay on Xeonomorph!

Xeonomorph | Awesome Budget Gaming Rig - Summer 2017 | Part 4A | VG909 GPU Cooler

Hey, everyone.

To start off this video had to be split into two sub-parts. One reason was due to length of the video. Having it as one video would have made it too long. Second reason is due to the second half still being worked on.

In this video we will take a look at the Cooler Boss VG909 GPU cooler. It's advertised as being able to cool an AMD R9 290. It was a challenege obtaining this cooler due to numerous cancellations from sellers on Ali Express. This was due to the sellers stating they no longer had the item in stock. We finally got one off of eBay. Today I'll give you some info on this cooler and stay tuned for the application process.

Konica Minolta MAXXUM 7D | Non-Pro Overview and Quick Clean Up

Hey, everyone.

This camera was gifted to me by my uncle. It's an older camera but he knows I'm slowly getting into photography. He's had this for a long time and from my research this camera came out in 2004. It will be a fun camera to shoot with and see what it's capable of. I cleaned it up on the outside as best as possible. Used a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water for most of the exterior and some rubbing alcohol in certain areas. Two of the lenses are good to go but the TAMRON lens had fungus on it which results in hazy images.
