BEST World of Warcraft Computer Builds

Posted in Logistics News on October 19th, 2012 by Logistics

So you probably found us because your computer sucks.  BUT! it doesn’t have to.  With Mists of Pandaria just released, you most likely want to show off how bad ass your L90 Paladin is to the world.

Let Logistics help.  Unlike other the Custom Build Computer Companies.

We work directly one on one with you to achieve your goal of [Grand Marshal].

YOU CAN BE A BAD ASS AGAIN I PROMISE!

You get dealer pricing on all parts through our Dealer Direct Newegg pricing.  The parts in your computer matter, they have to have the correct combination to achieve maximum performance.  We only suggest using high end components from reputable performance manufacturers.   For this,  the parts generally run at a minimum for a tower, around 1000$ directly through Newegg.  If you’re spending $3000 or more you most likely are getting

How it works:

1. Contact us (1-860-942-8522 or email us @ support@logisticsct.com)

2. Describe your parts budget ->  We’ll only suggest high end brand name parts,  Most builds run around 1000$ with correctly matched high end parts.  Anything much more less than this and you’ll be better off heading to Best Buy for your disposable gaming machine.  We build our machines to stand the test of time.

3. We build you an invoice -> You approve your parts, and pay for them.  They ship to our offices for assembly and testing.

4. We assemble, configure, stress test, and performance benchmark your new machine.

5.  At the end -> You simply pay for labor and shipping (Most machines are $200 + 50~ shipping).

The end result is a machine that will last for years and many expansions to come.

Diablo 3 Custom Gaming Dream Machine build completed!

Posted in Logistics News on May 9th, 2012 by Logistics

We had the chance to build several Custom Diablo 3 PC’s over the past few weeks, however this one stood out in both cost and performance.  The customer is an employee that works for Marvel on the Iron Man 3 project, and when he came to us – his vision was an over the top computer that would be completely compatible with World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 that specifically would run at the highest frame rates possible on his 30″ HD flatscreen.  We did just that for him.   Having to custom order several parts due to supply issues…..Most specifically the CPU and GTX 680 graphics cards; we we’re able to construct the best computer I have ever had the liberty of using.  It kind of deserved it’s own blog post so here are a few pictures and if you’re in the market for one, how you can get ahold of us, learn how the process works, and how you can have one of these masterpieces shipped to your door.

If you are further interested in having us build out a machine for you or your business check out Gallery of builds on our facebook page or contact us for a quote.

Check out how the whole Logistics Custom Computer Build process works, or feel free to send us an email with any questions.

What’s inside the Diablo 3 Dream Machine Custom Computer

  • Intel 6 core – i7 Extreme 3.3ghz
  • Thermaltake Frio LGA2011 cpu cooler (never saw the cpu go over 30C)
  • Asus Sabertooth X79 board
  • EVGA (2) GTX 680′s 2GB in SLI
  • Corsair 32gb ddr3
  • Corsair 120gb x 3 RAID 5 SSD
  • 1500w silverstone PSU
  • LG BD-RW
  • LG DVDRW
  • Rosewill Thor Case v2.

I asked my wife if I could have one but she said no.

Without any tweaking and latest drivers we were able to pull a 16400 score on 3dmark11 performance benchmarks………….

With tweaking and overclocking, i’m sure 20,000 would be an achievable goal.

5 ways the Blackberry Playbook beats the Ipad

Posted in Logistics News on September 28th, 2010 by Logistics

1. Not One, but TWO, Cameras

This is a killer differentiator. The PlayBook has a 3-megapixel user-facing camera and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera. The main camera can also shoot 1080p HD video. The iPad has no cameras at all. RIM wins this one hands down.

2. Standardized Ports

The PlayBook comes with both microHDMI and microUSB ports. That means users have a wider choice when it comes to sharing content from the PlayBook with other devices. The HDMI port, in particular, sets the PlayBook ahead of the iPad, which is limited to Apple’s 30-pin proprietary connector.

3. Enterprise Security Story

According to Research In Motion, the BlackBerry PlayBook supports all the enterprise security and policy enforcement controls that can be applied to all existing BlackBerries. That’s vital. If the QNX-based tablet shipped with a brand new OS that wasn’t backward compatible with BlackBerry Enterprise Server, it might be D.O.A. in the enterprise. Instead, RIM did the smart thing and made sure it is as easily controlled as are its BlackBerries.

4. Smaller Form Factor

The PlayBook has a 7-inch display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy Tab, it is small enough to be carried around in a (large) pocket. The iPad’s 9.7-inch display makes in unpocketable. Size does matter, and sometimes not in the way you might think. The PlayBook is smaller and easier to transport than the iPad, plain and simple.

5. Dual-Core, Baby!

The PlayBook has a 1GHz dual-core processor with multi-symmetric processing. The iPad has a single core 1GHz processor. We haven’t seen any benchmarks yet, but two cores is twice as good, right? RIM claims the PlayBook is the “Fastest. Tablet. Ever.” We’ll have to see just how fast it is once it is available for sale.

Great Gmail Tip

Posted in Logistics News on September 16th, 2010 by roland

From the Tips Box: Gmail Searching, Overheating Laptops, and Mobile Videos

Use the List: Operator in Gmail to Search for Messages To and From an Address

Seancron shares a lesser-known Gmail operator:

You can use the list: operator in gmail to search for and filter messages on mailing lists.

Example: list:info@example.com will find all messages sent to and from the mailing list.

Combined with the “Mark as not important filter option” and your priority inbox will be much cleaner.

Note that this actually works for any email address. Thus, if you want to search for all messages to and from your friend bob@example.com, you could use the list: operator to do so.

7 Steps to configure an Ooma to work with a Linksys Router

Posted in Logistics News on August 12th, 2010 by Logistics

The OOMA Voip device offers unlimited US calling for a one time charge of around $250.

For a great review and cost break down check out http://garyandwendy.com/wordpress/2010/08/08/detailed-review-of-ooma-plus-the-pros-cons/

My only complaint was the instructions for the average user are a bit difficult if you are running any sort of router on your home network.  Below are some settings that may assist others with setting up their Ooma box.

Pros:

Good call quality.
Getting rid of my cable company’s $40 a month phone bill.  (you still have to pay federal taxes etc which comes to around 3.50$ per month)
Once setup, it seems very reliable.

Cons:
Phone support is worthless, so you’ll have to dig through forum posts to get specific answers to some things.
Basic DSL may not be fast enough for you (a steady 384 upsteam is best at minimum)
Ooma’s “Plug and go” instructions don’t necessarily work for everyone

Other than that it appears to be a really good alternative to switching from your phone or cable company.

Here’s what we did to get the device working with our Linksys Router (different routers may vary slightly in setup):

1. Plug a network cable (supplied from Ooma) from computer or laptops network jack into the Ooma’s “Home Network” Jack.

2. Renew your PC’s IP address or reboot it. The Ooma will serve a 172 to the computer if done correctly.

3.  Navigate the PC with Internet Explorer (Google Chrome didn’t work – didn’t try Firefox) to http://setup.ooma.com

4. The Ooma Setup setup page will be displayed

5. Navigate to the Advanced Screen and mirror these settings (click image to enlarge):

ooma-linksys-setup

6.  Update/Save Settings and reboot your Ooma device and now wait for the PC to reaquire an IP from Ooma- then navigate Internet Explorer to your Ooma setup again address http://setup.ooma.com or 192.168.2.1 if that doesn’t work.

7.  Navigate to the Network Page in the Ooma Setup and mirror these settings to match your Routers DHCP range (settings may vary depending on your router)

ooma-linksys-network-setup

(We used Free public DNS Servers 4.2.2.* because our cable company’s is truly terrible)

6. Disconnect the PC and hook your Ooma  back into the Router and switch network cable from the Home Network Port to the Internet Port.

ooma-network

7.  Reboot your Ooma device wait about 5 minutes for it to sync with Ooma servers and you should be all set.  The center light will turn Blue and you can make phone calls for free.

Leave a comment if this worked out for you, or if you have any suggestions for an improved method.
