THEY has a microcenter in New York and there is a computer shop like 300 feet away from my hotel 😀

LOL.
I still want to go to the [strike]microcenter[/strike] Monoprice in Ontario Mills...

There's a Micro Center in Ontario Mills? I was not aware of this!

Sorry, Monoprice. I got them confused... It's by the Dave and Busters. It's more of a showroom, but I'm sure they had registers somewhere. The ontario mills website doesn't have it listed, but official channels from microcenter say it's thiers.

I've bought a lot of stuff from Monoprice - insanely cheap cables and TV mounts. I think their central distribution is in Ontario is it not?

Even though a new case is the last thing I need, I'm heavily considering purchasing a black Noctis 450 for my Dark Knight rig. It may not be for a couple months but I am in love with this case. This thing is a beauty, although I would have to change all the fans to red LEDs, but that isn't too much of a big deal.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Agreed on the noctis

Agreed on the noctis

It is quite the awesome case. One of the best I think NZXT has ever released. I actually think I might swap motherboards between rigs to complete the red / black color scheme.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Basically a H440 with the looks of a Phantom imo.... Still cool

Hey members!
I have a general question for all.

Who is the best free and even paid image hosts these days.

Tinypic has become awful slowly sneaking in more ads(That I would kill with adblock selectively). After this they started to run the website in such a way that ad blockers would break everything even your own images.

Ok Ad-block off and block flash for them. still lots of ads and even video ad's, but nothing with sound so its acceptable.

Today they are using flash to display links for image sharing to force users to enable flash to even get image links. With flash uninstalled or disabled it will not happen, but some websites still use flash so I normally just enable as needed(Ask).

I do not care about text and even image ads, but this is just getting stupid(ads over ads over ads).

Any recommendations here?

I generally use Photobucket, but I hate it.

Imageshack was great before it became paid.

Imgur for sure is the best right now for free ones.

And I can be sorted by popularity 😛

I bet an image of how to set file permissions for sharing will make it to the top!

I liked imageshack too. the option to use different sized images or thumbnails was also great. They did loose many images over the years so that did not make the idea of paying seem that great.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Imgur is my main one... I think I used photoshack or something similar before.

 

[RazerZ]

Postimg if you are a no nonsense person. No upload limit like imgur, imageshack, etc.

 

[Bossyfins]

^ I am starting to use Postimg. I used photobucket, then a bit of imgur, but I use postimg now.

@ Tiny, Love water fox 😱

 

[tiny voices]

I love waterfox as well.

 

[JaxAxRho]

waterfox > chrome?

 

[tiny voices]

1000x. Chrome is trash. Won't ever use it.

 

[Onus]

Chrome is designed to harvest user data. I haven't been able to convince my wife to give it up yet, but I've not loaded that trojan on any of my systems, and already some of its functionality is being blocked at work; I believe it will be purged before too long.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I only use chrome since everything else is slow, even waterfox....

I only use Chrome when I need to use the translator app, otherwise I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Yeah.. My computer is pro chrome and anti everything else.

 

[nukemaster]

Personal Preference.

I have FF, Chrome and IE and use them all for different things.

I had Waterfox a while back, but it had some performance issues. I have not tried it in quite a while.

Firefox is what I use almost exclusively. I use chrome and IE for testing.

I'm really interested in Spartan... But after reading the windows 10 EULA.... urgh.. I'm mainly afraid it will mark qbittorrent as bad and do something with it since that is where I get all my Linux stuff from....

Edge is a very fast browser.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

so.. I tried Crysis 3(Friend finally paid off one BD gift 😛).. and it crashes right before the tutorial and it says the driver crashed, then was recovered... I think it's my mild OC, as a topic somewhere here said disabling the OC fixed it... Any other fixes?
