iMac/MacBook Subscription/Rental Service Long Term

look.eye — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 18:38:53 +0800

Hi all,

As of the topic. I wanna ask if there are these kinda services available in Malaysia for corporate?

What I'm looking for is a service where I pay Apple monthly for their machines and they'll provide maintenance during the rental period.
The company doesn't need to own the machines, but then they can swap the machines to a newer model in 1 or 2 years time.
The rough amount of machines we need is around 50.

Anyone can help or know where should I look?

Thanks in advance.

Need tips for a set of Active Bookshelf Speakers

look.eye — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 17:58:37 +0800

Hi all,

Been doing some research on getting myself a pair of active Bookshelf speakers.
Currently I'm using a pair of Altec Lansing 2100 (2.1) bought 10 years back for my TV.
Not much problem with casual movie watching or music listening, just wanted to upgrade to a better system.
Also wanted to have bluetooth connectivity from my phone to the speakers would be very nice.

I've checked online for a few pairs of active bookshelf speakers and am making decision on which one to get and hopefully people here can answer some of my questions to ease my decision.
My priority of choosing will be the sound quality, the look of the speakers, brand, connectivity options (input / output), date of the product released, and also price.

__________________________________________________________________

Airpulse A100
The most expensive of the bunch costing around RM2.8k.
Look the nicest.
Base on review sites, this can be entry level HiFi speakers.
Can do HiRes audio.
With bluetooth and other general audio i/o.

Adam Audio T5V
I like the brand due to its origin from Germany with many years of making high quality speakers.
Cost of a set of speakers is around RM2k.
The sound quality base on reviews seems like very good. (Sound demo from Youtube channel: Digital Stereophony and Z Reviews looks very convincing)
Entry level to HiFi quality speakers.

__________________________________________________________________

The Airpulse A100 is very nice but then the thought of paying RM2.8k for a pair of Edifier (Airpulse is a subsidiary of Edifier) speakers felt a little uneasy. (Just my own feeling)
I'm currently is leaning towards the Adam Audio T5V due to Z Reviews and the setup from in living room seems like what I want.
The only problem is there are limited connectivity on the T5V. I'm now thinking how to connect a few devices to the T5V.
Currently my TV setup. I'm using Nvidia Shield TV Box that only have HDMI, Bluetooth, and USB output.
My TV only have an optical out for audio.

The Adam T5V have a balanced (XLR) and rca out from each of the speaker which is a little different from other speakers setup where both speakers are connected via a cable before connecting to an interface.
My current conclusion is to get an audio interface like this one with bluetooth connectivity.

For the sifu here, am I moving towards the correct direction in terms of setting up with the audio interface and also choice of speakers for living room setup?

[WTA]PC power cuts

look.eye — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 15:41:48 +0800

Hi all sifus,

Want to know if anyone can help on the problem I'm currently facing.
When I switch on the wall electric switch to my PC, the LEDs from the motherboard will lit up like normal.
But after a while (from 10 seconds to 2 minutes roughly), my PC will have its power cut out, and the LEDs on the motherboard will be off.
To power-up the motherboard again I would need to switch off the wall electric switch, wait for a while, then turn it back on again,
only then the LEDs on the motherboard will light up again.

Anyone faced this problem before?
I'm thinking it won't be any overheating problem since I haven't even switch on the PC itself yet.
My guess is either the PSU or motherboard.
Anyone got a method on how to troubleshoot to see which is the cause of the problem?

_______________________________________________________________________

Another question,
Let's say the problem lies with the motherboard,
I'm currently using the Asus Maximus III Gene Motherboard, processor I'm using is Intel i7-860 using socket 1150.
I wanna ask if I would to switch my motherboard to let's say the Asus H97-PRO GAMER (also using socket 1150).
Will the motherboard support my old Intel chip?

Thanks in advance!

Exposed Brick Wall & "Fake Wall" (Partition)

look.eye — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:18:30 +0800

Hello all,

Question 1:
Any sifu-sifu in here know where can I find people who can do exposed brick wall like shown in the photo below?
My wall's measurement is 6780mm (w) x 3100mm (h).
Does anyone know roughly how much would it cost?

Question 2:
I'm also looking for people who can do "Fake Wall" or partition in my master bedroom.
Am planning to divide my master bedroom to 2 and make one side a walk-in wardrobe.
Any advice on how the "Fake Wall" should be? Using bricks or just woods?
It may have to support a TV.

Samples of how the exposed brick wall look like:

Thank you!
