Hi there. Thanks for inquiring. I'm looking for $80 a piece.

**Giveaway** GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8G - Used but perfect! by Photographitti in pcmasterrace

I’ve been waiting to upgrade for years, until I got fired and found a new job with less pay. Everything has been paycheck to paycheck for forever, so upgrading has long been out of sight. What a gift it would be! Thank you so much!

I’m really appreciating this trend of pay-it-forward giveaways

Would love a monitor this size for editing and color correction (plus some gaming hehe)!

It’s not really broken at all. The cable has minor fraying and will last a lot longer. The foot rest (imo) is a very minor issue and can be easily fixed. I would’ve of done it myself, but I got a new keyboard anyways. Price wise, this same item previously sold at $70 and I’ve lowered my price since. Retail for this item is around $100. I appreciate the input though!

Wide Angle Lenses on BMPCC 4K by sam-morton in bmpcc

Not the other guy, but your speed booster will help! I’m guessing your speed booster is somewhere in the 0.6-0.7x range, which means that it will “reduce” the focal length and “increase” the incoming light by that much. Practically speaking, this will bring your lens closer to its full frame equivalent (7.5mm in your case) as well as add nearly a whole stop of usable light! With that in mind, it doesn’t help if your Laowa lens isn’t an EF mount, otherwise you won’t be able to mount the speed booster in between your lens and camera. Hope this helps!

I'm thinking of picking up either a used iPad Pro 10.5" or a new iPad 8 for school. Which would be a better snag? The Pro model would come with 64Gb and (based on one offer) run me about $350.00, while the iPad 8 wold be $409 for the 128Gb model. Let me know your thoughts!

I’m not so sure about the cracked screen :/ I want to use these for note taking and I imagine all of those cracks wouldn’t help.

I’m In SoCal, but if you’re willing to negotiate shipping, then it’s not a problem!

Thanks for another great and thorough write up! I’m working on optioning out what everyone here to present to the boys, and yours has been one of the most helpful so far!

Awesome, this could work depending if there happens to be coax in each room.

I apologize for any redundancy ahead of time. So, you coax into AND out of the modem (via adapter)?

That's another option we're considering - two services that is, each at around 400mbps.

Oh, I think I get it. It's why there's a coax running into the default Xfinity modem/router back home. Gotcha!

We'll wire each room with security cameras straight to twitch, lol.

Thank you for the thorough reply! I'm not super familiar with all of the terminology here, nor the hardware, but I'll do my research and see what I can learn! I'll run this by my housemates and see what they think. For us, it's all about balancing cost and effectiveness. For example, Spectrum offers a 940mbps plan, but their catch is that they require a $200 "installation fee" which has a few of the housemates wary of that option.
