No, it never got hot to the touch.

Doesn't matter, it was a valid test. My idle temp was 10 higher with no fan and 20 degrees higher under load. It was only for a short period of time and really didn't harm anything.

By the way, my cpu heatsink doesn't even get hot to the touch. Maybe heat is not transferring to it?

Will it at those temps?

Old pic, it has been cleaned out. I use speedfan and have it running all the time, but I stated the tat temps because I figured they'd be more accurate. Speedfan shows temps about 5 degrees lower all the time compared to tat. Eh, the voltages were all pretty high, enough for them to turn...

This is stupid. My processor is hotter than other people's for some reason. I just redid the thermal paste and reseated the heatsink today. First time I did what I normally do, a lot of thermal paste. Then I read this thread. I tried it with a dab and smeared it thinly with saran wrap around my...

PC looks pretty much the same as it was in this photo. I have a zalman cnps9500 and a e6400. Front fan at the bottom pulls in air, zalman blows air over the heatsink and out the back. Arctic Silver 5 between them, I just redid it and it fills the top of the chip evenly. Rest of the system is in...

For $50 I would have too! Good deal.

I moved one of the power strips to the underside of the desk, it was such a pain that I haven't done the other still.

W00t! I got the cable tray from Ikea and cleaned everything up.

The mouse movement is extremely jerky. None of the settings affect this. A $2 mouse ball mouse moves absolutely smooth in comparison. Here is a picture of me trying to draw a line in paint with it: Any other mouse would have no jumps in it whatsoever. So, is this a problem with my mouse or the...

No idea where I can go from here in terms of getting more crap.

Preferably one with two or more usb ports and a full set of memory card ports. Standard sata would be a plus too. And if you're using one you think is good, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks!

Whoa, a new model? Anyone who has it, post some more pics!

Well that's a rare case. I play it all the time since it's still such an incredible game.

Seeing these pictures makes me want one.. but then I remember I already have one!

That picture is of the 37, not the 42.

Yeah dell seems to be a good choice since you can choose what you get... either that or a fully custom built box.

I'm all for building my own if you can point me in the right direction. I have never owned a laptop before, and I will probably be using one for work soon if they don't provide one. High resolution and upgrades are my main requirements, though I'd like to play recent games on it from time to time.

Topic. I really didn't see any at newegg, and I really don't want to even consider one with 1280x800.

Played some ps1/ps2 games on my ps3, they looked great. Then I watched a dvd (local skateboarding video), man it looked good. Nice de-interlacing, nice upscaling.

The PS3 1.8 firmware update fixes the blinking issue on hdmi!!!!

Microsoft finally started banning modded consoles from live.. here's my solution:

You thought it couldn't get any more ridiculous? You were wrong. Microsoft banning modded consoles from live has left me with no other choice..

If only you knew what I've been using for the past 4 months... (old old old dining room set chair)

Uh.. never. I'm not susceptible to that.

Fulfilling more requests: More 360 screenshots HERE: http://glitches.planettonyhawk.gamespy.com/ftw/setup/360screens/ HDMI -> DVI cable. It blinks, ugh so annoying.

doublepost?

I've posted pics of it millions of times here, but since you asked:

The sides come off of the desk, you just need a allen wrench.

could have sworn I was clicking edit.

Ask and ye .. know the rest. images removed, they're quoted next post.

Yeah I'm lucky I got it when I did, it got discontinued shortly after. Now how am I going to get the extra side shelves? I should have chose those over getting the drawer (which is for the OTHER jerker desk, how confusing).

And no, my 360 isn't broken.

New chair, bye bye back problems!

I doubt anyone remembers, but a few months ago I posted pics of how absolutely horrible my ps2 looks on the westinghouse even over component. Well, I got a new ps2 and it is actually playable now, no added ghosting or dark muddy images. I have no idea why that was happening, but I'm happy I can...
