Re: First Firearm Thread.
The guy that works here told me that as long as i had at least 4gb ram, dual core processor of some type, and 750gb HD i'd be ok. He got a small acer from Walmart for $300 that he uses for his editing.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
DONT get 4gb. not enough. you need 8gb.
4gb chokes and crashes photoshop if you have a large enough file and its got a crap ton of layers. been there, done that. and the 18mp files from the 60D would do it.

He's does photography as a side job and uses the 60D and his PC has those specs. Think 4gb would be ok for now if it has space for 8gb? I really don't want Win 8

And yeah, 4gb is enough for now, long as you have space for 8gb. My guess is that he's never created a really layer intensive file, or tried to open 5+ images at once. You can't imagine the frustration when you work on a file for 20 minutes, got a bunch of layers, and then try to save it and photoshop says that it doesn't have enough memory to save the file.

There also are a number of system builders that offer models without an operating system preinstalled.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
now that I suddenly ended up with a complete RED X upper I wasn't expecting to ever show up, I'm thinking I may mate it with that lower and wander down to the gun show Saturday, see if someone wants to give me $1200 for it......
It's this upper, looks pretty nice in person. THICK Bull barrel makes it a little front heavy, but honestly not that bad, especially considering that there was no optic on it to help balance the weight rearward. I'd keep it, but a heavy 16" that s only a carbine gas is not quite my cup of tea. Prefer middy gas in a 16", and a threaded barrel. http://shop.redxarms.com/16-RXA15-X-...UPPER-5433.htm

Re: First Firearm Thread.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
might be your area... I was having no luck a few weeks ago trying to get $1500 for a 20" tricked out AR, complete with scope, bipod, etc. Granted it was a cheap scope, rail, etc... but still, it looked the part, which is usually enough to hook a sucker or two at a show.
This one... I might have to put my sightmark red dot tub on it in order to "complete the look".

Going to the darkside....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Think I'm going to the local shop to see how their AR stock is (they had 7-10 two weeks ago). If their stock is low, I may put my gun up for consignment and see if I can get 1600-1700 for it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Here's a quick pic of the extra children I think I'll try selling tomorrow at the show.
TOP: Red-X upper, 16" carbine, 5.56, twist fluted stainless bull barrel, 1/9 (new) Red-X Auto BCG & Tactical charging handle (new) CMT TAC billet lower, Firefly/Serenity engraved (new) Umbrella Corp grip (new) Core-5 LPK, commercial buffer VLTOR light carbine stock w/ battery compartments (used) 7.3lbs --Might swap out the umbrella grip for a stock grip. I like the angled look a little better... but figure the umbrella name might carry some weight for a purchaser. Particularly paired with the Serenity lower... BOTTOM: PSA M4 Premium Madness, 16'' CMV CL, 5.56, carbine gas, 1/7 (new) AR-15 BCG and standard charging handle (lightly used) Doublestar lower, unknown LPK, commercial buffer (lightly used) standard grip (new) Core-5 standard carbine stock, fits a little loose (new) 6.3lbs --Might throw a lightly used carry handle on the PSA upper to give it a full sight picture... and I don't need the handle anyway. (click for larger)
