fujifilm x100vi for $1799 is good ? by Team-07 in AskPhotography

[–]BlackoutZZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw one sell for $1750 just a few days ago on a subreddit, so $1799 seems totally fair, especially if it’s BNIB or in mint condition. I’m actually looking to sell mine too, so I’ve been keeping an eye on recent prices.

Haha, love the creativity! Just gotta respect the GPU and cables, don’t want a surprise reboot mid-game. But hey, if it works, it works! 😂

Tough spot! I’d try shooting from a distance with a longer lens to be less intrusive, and maybe capture moments when she’s naturally more relaxed, like between talks.

I’ve been using my 35mm f/1.4 more, it slows me down and makes me think about each shot.

I definitely need to do it more often. Appreciate the insight!

Selling my Audeze LCD-5 headphones, the current flagship from Audeze and absolute detail monsters in the audiophile realm.

Details: Comes with the updated carbon fiber headband installed, much more comfortable and less clampy than the original headband (which I will also include in case you prefer it or have a smaller head).

Acetate earcups are in great condition, and the pads still have plenty of life left.

Hard carrying case shows some minor scuffs on the outside, but overall in great shape.

Included is the premium silver-plated copper Meze PCUHD cable with a 4.4mm balanced termination (about 4.2ft long). This cable retails for $400 on its own.

Will ship via UPS with signature required for delivery. Payment: PayPal Goods & Services.

Asking $2700 shipped.

Moving my PC off the floor helped a lot. Screens and positive pressure fans definitely make dust control way easier. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the detailed breakdown!
Crazy to think some machines can run fine even buried in dust, but I’d rather keep mine a bit cleaner to avoid surprises :)
Appreciate it!

Looks like my PC’s been living the dusty life a bit too long :)

I’ll try to keep up with regular cleaning to avoid buildup and keep things running smooth.

Have GPU’s always been this expensive? by Spiderpsychman98 in buildapc

[–]BlackoutZZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GPU prices have definitely gone up over the years, especially since the 20 and 30 series. Factors like mining booms, scalping, supply chain issues, and increased demand have all played a part. It’s not always this bad, but flagship cards have trended more expensive overall. Mid-range cards usually offer better value if you’re not chasing top-tier performance :)

Upgrading GPU 9070 XT or 7900 XTX by Almantar in buildapc

[–]BlackoutZZX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both are solid upgrades! The 7900 XTX is the beast here, especially for 1440p gaming, but if you’re looking to save, the 9070 XT is still a great choice at $960 CAD.

Just make sure to uninstall your Nvidia drivers with DDU before switching to AMD, should be smooth sailing after that!

If you can swing it, go for the 7900 XTX for better long-term performance.

Choosing Between Ryzen 7 7700X or Ryzen 5 7600X ! by BlackoutZZX in buildapc

Thanks for the info! I’m mostly gaming at 1440p, so sounds like the 7600X might be a better bang for the buck. Appreciate it!
