wisann, Think Tank pricing in Sg got big difference?!?! After checking a few items, I find the pricing here are pretty ok, so I have been buying from local store, although my first modular set was from Think Tank direct. -

GND filters should go for Lee Filters... Unless you want variable GND... Wah... Bought a D600 ah?? How's the camera performance? Er, with D600, your equipment has to be good, if not flaw of the lens will be easily pinpoint out by the cam body... I used to have Hoya filters, lately have been using B+W... My Hoya polariser filter died on me in Alaska , so now my polariser is B+W. Maybe the Hoya cannot take the cold in Alaska!! My IR filter is still Hoya... Haiz, with current crop of cam bodies, hard to do IR photography. So it's not really in use lately. -
If you like great contrasting colours, then go for option 1. But if it's my place, I will chose option 2. I like the subtle difference rather than big differences. But that's me. I might chose something else too! Ha Ha!!

Hmm... Which expo sale you have gone to? How do we find out if they are taking part in it? -
RAID is not backup lah... If you KS, then best would be 1 copy in NAS, 1 copy in PC, and 1 copy in a USB HDD (but if you want DAS also can lah, a bit more ex only). 3 copies - you need to have a backup strategy to ensure they are up to date. Do note that RAID1 configuration may also cause your corrupted copy to be copied to the good one, so it's not a fail-safe thingy. Which is why my NAS is not in RAID configuration, but that means I got to make sure I copy to both HDD... A bit more troublesome i know.. But I a bit KS, ahahha

Which model did you get? I can see Tangs now selling the KSM150 model for tangerine and icy blue model at 699 while the others are at 799 -
I thot cement is a bit porous? No?

It look glaring because the exposure in the photo is based on the console and the console is dark, so it has to increase the exposure in order for you to view the darker areas. In doing so, the other bright areas may in the end turn out to be overly expose thus creating such photos. One way to reduce it is to take the photo standing more to the right from the current photo position and focus into the room. The other is to use flash.

Hi, just wanted to find out if you know what's the difference between KSM160 and KSM150? I don't seems to find any information on the difference in the internet.

But what people forget is that the global temperature has risen since our parents' days... I will be putting aircon and ceiling fan for my living room once I get my unit (unfortunately that would be another 3 - 4 years later, which is why I am a lurker here). My current place does not have aircon in the living room and sometimes, and even with 2 standing fans running, it is still too hot and humid; especially during the "hot season" here.

Well, they can't run the trunking immediate into the toilet as there is a pillar in between. But they could have follow the unit opposite yours (as you can see the outlet from the windows from the same picture) where it just goes straight down and out immediately next to the pillar, instead of bending it and out from below the windows. I think that would look slightly neater in your room.

Soundbar? You do know that soundbar needs walls to bound it around in order for it to sound good; so if your place has some big space in between, the sound may not be that great... (but if you are not particular about how it sounds, then it's a great 1 piece speaker) -

Bel Canto itself is already 2K if I recall correctly... Add in Dynaudio Xeo 3, no wonder it's about 6K! So it's a 2.1 system? Would love to hear this combi.... :dribble:Wonder if there is any chance of that happening.. -

I think from UK, direct shipping is the cheapest - if you ship to somewhere in UK or Europe, you need to pay VAT (even if the internal shipping is free like US), then add in the shipping cost for the forwarder... -
OMG, just for that it's almost $100!?!? Like that can resist liao...

This is a BTO flat, right? So, you overlay the new tiles on the ones installed by HDB? Does it add a lot of thickness to the toilet floor?

Er, did you managed to cancel it? -
Finally back from holidays. I checked the IDA website and it states that any homes that are built after 1 May 2013 will have to come with the TP, and cat 6 cabling in each living rooms and bedroom. So, it does look like it will be in the flat when I get it, since it's not even build yet - Heck I don't even know if they have awarded it to the builders yet! (Hmm... where to find such info, I wonder) The only worrying thing is... Do they know that they have to separate the power lines from the data lines?!?!
-
Ong, now with this new iDA ruling, does it mean no need to worry abt cabling liao? Since it will come with it? Anyone have any idea what they mean by having fibre pre-install? Does this include Ethernet cabling to each room? I don't have full details as I read it off CNA. Still overseas leh.

Minimum Budget For Engaging Id + Contractor Services
Alpc replied to oooyingqinooo's topic in Renovation Packages
Actually depends on what you buy from Ikea - I have Ikea solid pine cabinets and table which lasted me more than 15 years and it's still going strong. Just that it's not as cheap as those particleboard ones. -
So my "logical" thinking is right then? Water pipes... Yes, been to the HDB show flat 3 times (or was it more)?!?! Had some idea, but still it's not totally self explanatory there as well (either that or I was not looking very closely at this section!). I guess to know where they had place those power and all other points, as well as switches, will be when we get the keys and go inspect. I should be there with either an ID or contractor, ready to decide the last minute details and when to start reno...
