Yup, both sets of lights I use to cross streets walking to work use a push button to trigger, no sensors. One is in the middle of a road, no intersection. The other is an intersection on a one way street, where cars turn left cross the pedestrian light.
Both annoy me when the button isn't pressed, with people waiting.
I quite like the lights where the entire intersection stops, for all pedestrians at once. Then the lights entirely return to letting traffic through.

Maybe they are just be considerate and waiting for a gap in traffic, instead of pushing the button and making all the cars wait.
Better then people who do push the button, then cross anyway and cars are left waiting for no one.
But they are waiting to cross! It just means I turn up and push the button, and then wait for it to go green before crossing. It's on a street in the CBD which always has traffic

People waiting at pedestrian crossings with lights, that don't push the button to cross.

I just bought some kids. They had their first day of school today, they hit the ground running!
Will post photos as they get older.
Did they grow up, or have you traded them for weed already?

That's a tough one. I've always been under the impression that positive air pressure is the way to go.
This is probably only the case with old blower style graphics cards, if you don't have a blower style cooler then the direction of the airflow is more important. Make it coherent and flow across components.
If it's hugely important, the best way is probably trial and error.

All I hear is excuses.
Here's a close up photo of Xeno's face.

I must've been drunk when I posted this, because I don't remember it. And I missed my opportunity to retort. Next time!

It depends on what you do with the drive. The Pro is significantly faster, even in the "real world". But if you're not doing large sustained transfers then the benefit slowly starts to diminish. Random Access performance is close between the two, and that's probably what it will be doing most of the time.
If your plan is to only run those two drives, I'd opt for the larger storage of the Evo.
50?! That's too much, I'd pay an extra $50-60nz, so like 25-30 quid.
I don't tend to "recommend" peripherals because of the personal nature. You can't be entirely objective.
I've had a CM with Cherry MX Black's, and I currently have a Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth. The new Razer switches... are interesting... They are very "springy", I've got used to it but probably wouldn't buy another after using Cherry MX's.
Again, very personal decision, and it probably doesn't matter so much what route you choose.

Get the R9 390 over a GTX970. It's better in almost every scenario. There's no issues with the R9 3xx series, so jump on one if you can find it.
The Hyper 212X, the included thermal is really good anyway, so no need to buy MX-2. If you did want to get custom TP, then MX-2 is still the best shit around, followed closely by AS5.
What you've put together is good.
Maybe look at getting an M.2 SSD over a SATA SSD, they are faster on all accounts. But a little more expensive, and not as portable. The Samsung Pro are up to twice as fast.
But great build, and very similar to what I'd buy right now. If not what I will buy in the next week. I think my PC is dying :<

I don't even know why that made the "news", or the internet, or anything for that matter.
It's such a waste of space, and I really didn't need to know that.

The GTX1060 is wayyyy too overpriced in the current market, sitting at about $700.
The closest to $400 RRP is the RX480, at $500. I'm hesitant to recommend them after their launch issues. But I think an AMD driver "patched" the power issues.
For VR, you wouldn't want anything less than a GTX970, or a R9 390X.
Rough equivalence:
- GTX980 ~= GTX1060
- R9 390X ~= RX480
- GTX980Ti ~= GTX1070
- GTX970 ~= R9 390X
You can pick up a second hand GTX970 for about $350, which is probably your best option.
