Ok I'll use more discretion in futurrrrreeeeerererer~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EERERERERRERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's not a reason why they suck. "Because" implies that you are about to give a rationale for your analysis, which is perfectly valid by the way. I have a fork of a particular Brand X. I know it sucks because I have it. The Brand Y forks are much better. You see? It doesn't make sense...

Call the airline and tell them what flight you're going on. They can tell you if your seat has a laptop power socket or not. In general, these sockets are found in business and first class, though.

For the real lowdown on what fans are quiet from real, experienced silent computing enthusiasts, visit SPCR. They know their stuff and their forums are top-notch.

Please don't get Tornadoes. In a few months you will only come to loathe loud, obnoxious, and/or high-pitched noises emanating from your PC such as the Tornadoes will produce. Trust me on this. As others have stated the cooling gain from these fans versus that of well made quieter fans is...

Oh god let's not make Sony the new Thermaltake now. Please... And I for one think the design of the PS3 is freakin' awesome. I'll bet it emits a pleasant low-pitched hum as well. Mmmmmm......

Ask OCAU perhaps? They routinely beat us in folding marks so they must be getting all this computing power from some Australia-based vendor...

A more practical solution to hide it is make a shroud of nice looking cloth to cover the whole thing. If done right it would give the room some great texture. You could even light it with track spotlights or something similar.

Put a 70" plasma or screen/projector in front of the fireplace. That'll fix it up real nice. :)

Ah, so that's what the 512 million meant on the video. I didn't get that before now. I said thousands because I wasn't sure of the exact number and I always try to ensure that my statements are never flat out wrong, merely stated in a way that is open to interpretation, so that even if I am...

@mritche: do you have heat dissapation issues with the receiver in that orientation?

This is a very intriguing video. Here's my reasoning on its legitimacy: Real: Awful lot of trouble to make a fake video Very accurate Mario 64 castle model Mario sequence at end is VERY convincing Assumed large production budget, the quality and complexity of the video is hard to...

You can lock your computer with Windows key + L, as well as encrypt folders so that only people with your login credentials can access the files contained within. I don't know of any built-in password protection solution in Windows though. And if you can't trust your friends.. hmmm...

Hey aironite congrats on your recent purchase! It's a fine system no matter what anyone says, and you can porudly say that your computer is free of a garish case window, unlike so many "DIY computers" on here.

Yes, but if they go with digital only DVI-D then those fancy adapters won't work because they use the analog output on the DVI-I port found on graphics cards. Remember they are adapters and not converters. DVI->VGA converters are much more complex and expensive. Besides, do HDTVs generally use...

You're burning one song per CD? Am I reading this correctly?

Well I have the same desk, at least. It was alright for the money but I wish the sides were 6" deeper in order to accomodate a CRT and a keyboard without rotating the CRT at an odd angle.

I'm noticing a trend of immaturity occuring in this thread in regards to content in some peoples images. Can't someone have a stain on their carpet without hearing someone lewdly suggest what it is, or have lotion next to their bed without a rife of "oh look he masturbates lol" comments...

I wonder how long it will be until the news sites pick this up, and how much longer until MS contacts HardOCP. This is the only picture on the whole thing on the web at the moment (ourcolong half shots dont count), as far as I can tell, and for that you should be proud.

The top doesn't look flat to me, but it's hard to tell from the picture. Is it?

The design team. And good riddance to them. Another device that isn't stackable with other equipment due to its dorky curvy shapes. Good thing I'm not going to get one.

Very nice, and clean too! You have a good balance of comfort/warmth and high functionality. I have to ask, what's with the paper behind the Snapple bottle and in front of your case?

I just noticed that looking at that forum in IE gave me large multiline tooltips. THAT is lame. I don't know if I should blame IE or the forum admin.

What's the big deal? It's just an alternate text tooltip. If you don't want to see them don't leave your cursor over the thread link.

I have the Shuttle AB60N board and a 2.8E so it is Prescott compatible. I bought it when it was 70 dollars, how embarassing. I've found this board to be 100% stable. VCore adjust goes away when you update the BIOS, but I don't overclock so I don't care.

@exe: do you do financial work on your computer or something? I see an awful lot of line graphs. Sorry, I can't find your previous post.

Yo Goat, did you consider wall anchors?

I predict they will unveil the much talked-about 2 button mouse.

I hope you don't void your warranty in the process of taking out the hard drive. That would be sadly ironic.

turning your head to the left to see your monitor is super efficient?

theshadow27: You should have entered the bash.org Messy Desk Contest. Yours would have been a real contender! ;)

Two possibilities: You are either a liar and/or Monster Cable sales rep, or have been tricked by your own mind by the placebo effect. Since I know you're not a sales rep, I prefer to think you've been tricked.

That clicking sound is perfectly normal. All CRTs that I've ever encountered do it. Dust isn't a problem with CRTs either, if it was you would hear about people blowing the dust out of their monitors!

Get that computer out of its cabinet, you're smothering it!

Hehe don't worry about it. The electrical contacts in outlets are recessed several millimeters into the holes, and even then you'd have to touch both contacts to get a shock. So unless you're really trying hard to get shocked...

Why does everyone make such a big deal about wire neatness? I have a mess of wires under my desk and I wouldn't have it any other way, but I'm sure if I provided pictures everyone would go "eww!". They don't impede on my foot space and they aren't tangled. They are, in fact "ready to go"...

Super secret knowledge: bigger companies make the base cases, and companies like Thermaltake and Compucase (which is probably a subsidiary of something) put their own exterior stylings on the case.

Does your significant other want a beige case or a white case? There's a big difference in beauty there. A glossy white paintjob would be cool.

Hey this looks familiar to me... Did you ever post this on a forum called A5OG?
