Never buy already assembled PC. You pay more for worse components. Problems with that HP desktop?

- Motherboard is from MSI - solid company. BUT, this specific part is manufactured only for HP. I heard that, in USA, trustworthy companies sometimes produce shit meant to be sold at Walmart, at low price (clothes for example). This is it. Only 4 USB ports in PC that expensive? It's not even funny.

- RAM. They don't even mention manufacturer there. Most of them give lifetime warranty on their memory. Unless it's cheap shit made for HP to use.

- Power supply. It's what's keeping all the other parts fed. You really don't want to save money on this one. HP probably does, but you can't even see if that's the case. Manufacturer don't mentioned.

- Graphic card - why reference model, when there are much better options, like ASUS and MSI? Faster and with better cooling system?

- SSD - 256GB ones are really affordable now. And you can buy them from Samsung, or Kingston, no need to care about HP no-names!

- I bet money on hard drive being Seagate. Seriously, I do. What's wrong with Seagate? One out of four of their HDDs fails after a year. But Hitachi, or WD instead.

All HP does here is sticking a logo and ridiculous price. And it's not even trustworthy company, read up how many of their laptops failed in the past couple of years.

I'm not criticizing your preservation, your goals or whatever. I'm criticizing you and your attitude. When I found out about Stat War Legacy I was excited. Until I got to the point "Not gonna share it and don't ask again".

You started up a thread on ot.com. Everyone is sharing their projects around here. Except you. You post here for views, publicity. I don't know, maybe you like when people register on your forum to say "You're cool Mr. Verta!".

You call me selfish, yet it's you who's sitting on all the material. If I had something like this, I would release it, if possible. And if not? I'd tell a few people about it, yes. But I damn sure wouldn't seek attention here, right next to Team Negative1's stuff.

I do speak for myself. Read my post again. -.-

As much as I appreciate what you're doing to other restoration projects, I hate the attitude of "I'm doing something awesome, and you're never going to see what, because reasons!". It's cool you don't want to share it. No, really. But starting up whole forum dedicated to the project? You want attention, but you're not going to do anything to deserve it.

What's the purpose of showing a couple of previews in 2014, if this thing will be released in 2076?

Oh. Hello Mr. Verta!

I have a small request: if you're not going to release your work, could you please stop posting here? It's teasing and it's evil. I'm never going to see your restoration, so I don't care what you're doing with it.

Thank you.

$500 in 12 hours. D:

I've also sent some money over. I don't know if it's enough though - for all I know it might've ended up as just 0.20 CZK or something...

$1 = ~20CZK

When I donated, Paypal took a fee of about 1% of the money, because of changeover. I don't know if it was before of after Harmy set up different balances on his account.

@quin82 I'm pretty sure you can pay with credit card n paypal without setting up an account, but I wouldn't do that if I were you. That involves even more fees to Paypal, it's best to spend 10 minutes creating account.

Why higher than 1080p? 1440p are quite expensive, while decent 1080p IPS can be bought for like 230$.

Also, with 1000$ budget there is no reason not to go with 16 GB RAM and SSD drive.

Yes.

Does the currency of the donation matter on Paypal? I'd rather not send $$$, that'd mean double changeover.

For the last three days whenever i visit the site i have maybe 50% chance that it's working. I used isup.me, so it's not just me.

It's down pretty much at random, at least between 1PM and 11PM CET.

Maybe actually -1 is traveling around the world procuring Star Wars prints using whatever means necessary, and the rest of the team is there to scan them and cover it all up.

It'd be really cool to have it synced to GOUT and included in next Harmy's DeEd. I hope someone capable visit this thread. D:

Awesome! Was it released recently? I tried to find in on the internet, and all I got was youtube clips from screenings.

Interested as well.

I thought your scanner was only 2K, 2048×1556. Have you upgraded it?

Okay, thanks.

Nah, there's already a problem with BD due to the number of audio tracks, additional stuff won't help. :) The best thing would be a 2 disc box and a cool cover.

What references does Empire have? LPP stills maybe?

How do you figure out original colors, with prints faded so much?

1 year 3 months 21 days :D

Now we're talking! :) Please post more like that in the future, looks amazing.

That's fine by me.

I also like ICE version more.

Why not both?
