My new computer system’s noise level

I have just completed building and perfecting a very powerful PC to run Vegas Pro.  So far it is as fast as I have found anywhere.  The Core i7 980X processor is overclocked to 4.27GHz and the 12 Gb of memory are Overclocked to 1600MHz.  That creates a lot of heat and therefore the need for a lot of cooling.  I have been asked how loud the noise from this system is and can it be used for doing tutorials in Camtasia.

The following video is a demonstration of the noise from the system.  It is actually recorded with the computer sitting right next to me without anything blocking the noise from it.  That is the worst case scenario.  Take a listen.

Return from Vacation

I just returned from a wonderful week in North Georgia.  Along the way I tested the GoPro HD Hero cam for POV shots and for situations when you need your hands free.  Here is a quick clip from the trip.  I just strapped it to my chest and ignored it while I played. I will post more later.

Crazy Talk Demo

When Crazy Talk (software) was offered at a significantly reduced price on the Digital Juice website, I gave it a try.  These are two quick promos for high school events that were done in just about 20 minutes work each.  Judge for yourself if this will do your job.
