I bought this last night, and I ended up paying $192. I used an alternate email address to sign up for offers and got a 20% off coupon. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow.
Same here. I went to a local Office Depot to test chairs, and found a few that seemed comfortable. I then sat in a Hensley, and it was amazing. Made the former chairs, and anything I sat in afterwards, feel terrible by comparison. I then had to go home and sit in a chair that I always...
So yeah, it has been a while since OSIDIAS got some attention. Its funny how time gets away from you. As I mentioned above, I finished another scratchbuild about 2 years ago. I've also got a side business, Jeep-Core.com that has been keeping me very busy as well. I also managed to finish...
Thanks man, I appreciate the compliments. You are referring to the MPD-01 project. It was the Intel LANfest 2013 overall mod winner. I was absolutely blown away by the honor. I know there were some great mods at a lot of the events throughout the year, and MPD was deemed worthy enough to...
Wow, this project had it's thread bumped on another forum just a few days ago. I'll update here with the same info I posted there later tonight. Basically, the project is coming back to life soon, but with a few changes. Most notably a change to ITX.
Thank you. There is a thread on the Wrangler install at XDA, but I don't have one for the Grand Cherokee yet. I'll get one up soon.
Okay, so if he has money to burn, I still wouldn't go with a carputer. I'd use a Surface Pro. You can still use all sorts of USB peripherals including a...
Unless you have very specific reasons to use a carputer over a tablet, I wouldn't bother. You'll end up spending way more money, and still have hobbled functionality compared to a tablet. You're not going to get the superior resolutions, better touchscreens, or the apps specifically designed...
Agreed, I'm now looking into the LG TV as well. I'm still using my old Westinghouse 37". It's been pretty damn solid for years now, but it's starting to get a little 'blotchy'. I'd like to replace it before it completely goes on me.
Hey guys, I'm looking to sell a pair of Sapphire Vapor-X 5870's. They've been great cards since I bought them, but I recently switched to ITX and a single card setup was needed. I don't have a use for them any longer.
I've not sold anything in a while due to eager friends taking most of my...
I won a case mod competition at a LAN over the weekend and got a RAT 7 as the prize. I'm not sure I would have bought one on my own, but damn, after using it for the past few days it is now my new favorite mouse. I was using a Logitech G9 before that. In fact, just about every mouse I've...
Wow, that's so disappointing.
Edit: After thinking about this more, the lag is still less than my Samsung 244T, and the Westinghouse LVM-37W3 I'm currently using. I know input lag is somewhat subjective, and I don't feel my gaming has suffered terribly because of it, so it would still...
I was there and grabbed just a few photos. I never thought to take pictures of the back specifically. I don't recall anything jumping out at me though as I walked around the table, so it had to be pretty similar. After reading about all the other 21:9 monitors before this, I really was...
Interesting concept. However, this isn't completely new. A company called Lubic (pretty sure that was it) was selling parts and kits to make your own cases almost 10 years ago. I do wish they would have stuck around a little longer, as I always wanted to make a purchase. Maybe one of these...
I use a combination of the spam-o-matic and areyouahuman.com plugins. I haven't had an issue since switching to vB about 9 months ago. As of right now, there have been 9521 blocked registration attempts.
Um, that last revision nailed it. It's a great use of available space, and finally sets the case apart enough to warrant the potentially higher purchase price. I like it. ;)
I've used most versions of Linux. Ubuntu itself has great support. I think what you are referring too, are not ads specifically. It's more like featured/sponsored Amazon integration in it's search results. I don't mind it, but for others it feels counter to the idea of free and open...
My...
It was powered with a separate pico-psu and power brick. I had explored powering it through the main PSU, but ultimately it just didn't make sense. The idea was to have it completely independent. The main system was already dual PSU. Under the pico board was a 24v 600 watt secondary PSU...
It's not a dumb idea at all. A few years ago I put a dedicated secondary system in a NZXT Rogue. It was based on a VIA pico-ITX board. Something like that would easily fit in a gutted PSU. You could even go slightly bigger with a nano-ITX.
Note the lower left of this pic. You can see the...
And that's the issue, isn't it? Having designed my own cases for various reasons, it's really easy to think, "If I make it just a little bit bigger here or there..." If you do that too much, you end up deviating from your original design goals. At some point you need to take it in the...
As someone who obviously keeps track of all things SFF, I must say I really like this design. To me, a well designed case makes efficient use of space while taking into consideration airflow and potential heat problems. This layout is fantastic in all 3 regards. Good luck on getting it made.
