been wanting to have some custom cables made but have been eyeing the new be quiet straight power psus, haven’t seen many places that make be quiet custom cables. Any recommendations for me to go look at?

SSD on this little machine makes a world of difference, Id say the speed of this system rivals my sisters 2011 13" MBP with i7. However I am jealous of the battery life the new systems have.

I love my late 2008 Macbook. I havent felt the need to replace it after upgrading it with 8gb/intel ssd/optibay with 750gb hd(love having 2 hard drives in it, who uses optical stuff anyway). Ive had to replace the battery once. I love this thing, running vms and doing all my mobile computing...

Still need some longer cable to clean up under my desk but over all I'm happy with my build.

Few things I use on my macbook Trillian Caffeine OnyX Google Chrome iStat Menus VMware Fusion Dropbox Appzapper VLC WineBottler and Wine uTorrent SynergyKM I have photoshop and open office on one of my VM's foobar2000 running through wine, I might switch to Fluke for my FLAC...

for the resolution your 30" runs at sli would make a huge boost in performance

CPU AMD k6-2 400, AMD Tbird 1.33, P4 3.2, e8400, i7 2600k GPU ATI Rage 128 Pro, Geforce 2 MX400, ATI 9800 pro, 4870x2 , 6950 x2 cfx, 7970 x2 cfx and this stuff just for fun. Monitors 15in compaq, sony g420 (used this and the compaq for a while), 2x samsung 17inch lcds, 2x samsung...

tigerdirect has some xfx ref in stock just grabbed one.

I too would say a standard pair of headphones with the clip on mic, the best setup I've used was my HD555's with zalman mic. When I switched to a "normal" headset from creative all my friends bitched about background noise in vent, where I didnt have that with the zalman mic. Also the HD555's...

I went from pro media 2.1s to bx5a's and im very happy with this decision, the pro media 2.1s are just so bass heavy even with the sub gain turned down to near minimum. With the bx5a's you get a more clear sound and I love listening to music with them, playing games and watching movies...

Wow even I dont expect my monitors to be perfect out of the box, the very first thing I did with my u3011 was to check for any stuck pixels. I had none, but its always a possibility. I dont see what the big deal is just send it back and get another.

Honestly if your main purpose is gaming on your xbox the asus VE278Q would be the best choice for the money. I had one and a xbox 360 connected to it, it worked fine and had no problems with it. It would honestly be a waste of money to get a U2711 for xbox 360 primary use. You would be more...

I highly doubt a 580 would be on a black friday deal, most likely a 560/570 at best :/

the lack of support is making me frustrated, im about to sell my 2 6950s and get gtx580s

U3011, I love the 20/30/20 setup. I actually spent a weekend building the desk, got tired of buying desks and never being happy.

just working on the cable management a little more, had to order a few extra cables to relocate the tower to the right.

I love my U3011, I use it in a 20/30/20 PLP setup and am very happy with this setup.

I have to agree, buying a 17" laptop was probably the biggest mistake I made with laptops. I'm much happier with a 13-15"

yeah with the budget that is the route I would go for sure

MBA come with SSDS

Theres pros and cons to both systems If you are comparing the MBP 13" i5 vs the MBA 13" 128gb The MBP has a faster processer 2.3ghz vs 1.7 both are duo core The MBP ram can be upgraded to 8gb but both will have 4gb The MBA has a solid state drive, the MBP has a 320gb SATA*** The MBP has a...

my stock 2600k idles at around 30-35c, with 24c room temp.

thanks for the info

I currently have .. 2.6c p4 @3ghz 1gb corsair pc 3200 antec true blue 480 watt power supply radeon 9800pro 2x wd raptor 10k rpm drives in raid 0 Its been a good 3 years and I'm feeling as if it might be time for a change. What parts am I able to keep and upgrade? I'm looking for...

Hey man, I have a IC7-max 3 and I can only get my 2.6c@2.97ghz. Im using corsair xms 3200. I have my mem timing set to 2-3-2-6 5:4 and my vcore to 1.6V. If i raise the front bus anymore it is not stable. Maybe we can get some awnser. Or new ram? Thanks Rick.

I have 4 of the coolermaster blue led 80mm fans. They rock!!!

Swiftech makes some really quality stuff. I use to have one of there heatsinks on my 1.33tbird. Overall the quality is awesome especially partnerd with a Delta Fan!!! they are too loud tho. Id go with the zalman for the cpu hs/f. I went with a Swiftech chipset hs when the one on my IC7...

Hey, So Fed-ex came with my new zalman today. This things quality is overall better then the coolermaster jet 7. IMO i had to look at my jet7 twice, i thought some one had used it tried to lap it and return it, just turns out its just crappy. Heres what I found I have a p4 2.6c@2.97ghz...

Oh man... I spent 38 bucks on that heatsink/fan.... IMO the heat sink sucks, but the fan is cool. Id sell you mine but id rather you spend the money on a zalman. Mines on my way from Newegg as I type. Ill have a comparison by tommarow on the two.

WOW, so many ideas come to mind. VFD is a must. Another cool idea, if you add fans you can use the knobs to adjust the speed.

Cool man, ill seriously take that into consideration! anyone else have any sugestions?

Hey guys. I need help, im building my freind a comp. She really doesnt need anything insane but she likes my ic7-max 3. Shes not a poweruser, she just surfs and does the occasional photochopping. She just wants her own computer now, something that will last her for a while. Here are the...

Yeah, ill post pics when It comes. I orderd it a couple of weeks ago and its still in production.... P.S sent the Ibook to apple via overnight povided by them, Im betting ill recive my Ibook before the dell.

Sweet, orderd mine today with standard shipping. Cant wait to use it. Been playing BFV and notice my graphics card is up to par anymore.

cool, so should I go for the 9800 pro from powercolor, hoping to get a xt pcb? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-290&depa=1
