  1. My point by the way isn't the fact that Slavic accents should be ignored.  If you found a VO actor that spoke with such an accent that suited your needs, great!

     

    My point was that just one character - I assume you're talking about Juhani - doesn't make it a tradition.  (She also didn't speak as if was she just learning the language.)  However, enough of my tangent.


  2. If folks would like to participate and don't have MOTS, I may have an opportunity for you too.  Send me a sample of you saying the following things and perhaps you'll be featured in the upcoming tutorial.
     
    If you want to be a Rebel Pilot in the featured samples, say the following things:
    - Red Five, standing by!
    - We're starting our attack run.
    - R2, see if you can't lock it down back there.
     
    If you wish to be a Stormtrooper, say the following things:
    - There's one! Set for stun.
    - [As if you been Jedi Mind Tricked] These aren't the droids we're looking for.
    - [Friendly. You're saying it with a smile on your face to someone you actually like] Move along. Move along!
     
    Choose only one part and send the WAV or MP3s in a RAR or 7Zip package.  Record your lines in a room without echoes or outside aural interference. Do not add filters as adding filters is this entire point of the tutorial.
     
    When I have received the samples I need, I will update this post saying the parts are filled.


  3. On the SSD front, the motherboard you currently have selected sports an Ultra M2 slot, which will supposedly take a SATAIII or PCIe 3.0 x4 type M2 SSD. I guess SATA M2 exists for extreme form-factor stuff. In a tower I would think you would just use a 2.5" SATAIII SSD if you're going the SATA route. The PCIe M2 SSDs are spendy but generally much faster (very unlikely that these are limited by the connection speed in any way as PCIe 3 x4 is giving it almost 4GB/s of bandwidth, compared to a .75GB/s SATAIII connection or 1.25GB/s SATA Express)

     

    I think, though, if it's your first SSD, trying to get a slightly larger capacity (512G minimum) SATAIII in the 2.5" form factor is probably a good bang for the buck. Maybe somewhere down the line a PCIe M2 SSD would make sense, but I just think it's probably too expensive right now to get one that you can fit a Windows system and games onto. Personally I like Crucial as an SSD brand, but I have no idea what is good for Windows, so grain of salt please.

    I understood nearly none of that, yet it was in English. I may getan SSD down the line but I've ordered the part to bring the computer to what I'll call minimum.

     

    I may return to this thread (or open a new one) to ask more questions about SSD's down the line but it won't be for at least a few months.


  4. Since I don't want throw out the baby with the bathwater, let's assume I'm be working with some of my original gear . . .

    Case: iBuypower ARC 647 CASE ATX Mid Tower Case
    Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card
    Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
    CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler (and LED case fans)
    Optical Drive: LG UH12NS30 Blu-Ray Reader, DVD/CD Writer
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

    Using the items listed above, see what sort of lists you can come up with on pcpartpicker.com.  (This is to ensure compatibility and that so we're all looking from the same list.)  Please include your final price excluding my aforementioned items.


  5. Xuul, your case suggestione seems like a good fit. I might want to fool around with the other items on your list. I'll have to see what I can salvage from the old case.

     

    If you have money to burn you could upgrade the GPU, but that is probably not that necessary especially at  a 1920x1200 resolution.

    Fooling around on PCPartpicker right now, actually. BTW, I operate at 2048 x 1152 resolution.
