Blog Task 14.3

The Computer that I use at home is one that is pointed towards gaming and/or video image editing. I originally got it from Cello Technologies in early 2013 and have essentially been upgrading it since with my savings.

The current specs of the system are listed here:

CPU: Intel i7 4790 @ 3.6 GHz Turboboosted
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX Edition
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 Gaming-3 ATX Motherboard
GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 770 OC Edition 4GB GDDR5
PSU: FSP 750W Gold Rating PSU
RAM: 16GB 1866MHz Kingston HyperX DDR3 RAM
Storage: 120GB Corsair SSD
Storage: 1TB Western Digital HDD Black
Storage: 1TB Western Digital HDD Green
Case: CM Storm Trooper Full Tower Case.
I mainly use it for level design/creation for the Source Engine, as well as video editing and gaming. One of the limitations it has now is the GPU is becoming old and starts to overheat after a while, causing artefacts.

Blog Task 4

For use to learn HTML

Blog Task 3

In regards to the PowerPoint about Classroom Protocols, I think that the idea of listening when people are talking, removing distractions and showing respect are the most important.
The idea of respect links into the other protocols as listening to the person talking in front of the class and not distracting others is a sign of respect to the lecturer.
