Hi, I have just put together a new build with: CPU: i7 920 w/ stock hsf mobo: Asus P6T X58 GPU: Sapphire 4850 X2 2GB (also tested with brand new evga 7200GS pci-e) PSU: Coolmax 700w RAM: OCZ 6gb DDR3 OCZ3G1333LV6GK The system will start up -- fans whirring, lights on, but absolutely...

Water and oil don't mix, so it's pretty easy to skim water (or some other liquid) off the top of oil, as far as I have read...

And by the way, anti-static bags conduct (to an extent), I don't know if it's the brightest idea to run your motherboard on it. Then again, maybe it's just fine :p

Oh geez, this is such a biased rant... Bulky AC adapter? WTF it's the smallest AC adapter I have in my house! It's sideways, so it doesn't block other outlets, and it's certainly smaller than any of those wall wart adapters... Bulky charging station? I bet that if it didn't have the...

Thunderbird's spam filtering is quite good after a couple weeks of "training"...

This isn't even possible to be true. Either one or the other is running at a time. Two people cannot sit on the same toilet at the same time, likewise two threads can't actually be doing something at the same time. It's just switching tasks much more efficiently.

Oh come on robberbarron, don't exaggerate. He also had two feet, 10 fingers and a whole lotta teeth helping him fight those bad guys! :D

... If they are set to be. I believe there are two options you can set for removable disks, one for fast access and one for fast removal, make sure you set the fast removal one.

On a completely irrelevant note, congratulations on 1337 posts, Papa :D

Hehe, we all have bad/angry/grouchy ( :mad: ) times... As for that link, I just looked at your thread history and started from the oldest forward, and coincidentally, that was your oldest :D Sorry for the firebat war.

English, please :confused:

QFT In the PSU forum, there's a sticky with a list of no-no PSU brands... Guess if Sky Hawk is on it :p

And Carnival_Forces, your holier-than-thou attitude is not appreciated, Mr. Huh, What? Grounding how?.

Sweet! I guess I've been careful enough for all these years until I finally got a computer in my room, lol.

I have a metal lamp, and one time was adjusting its little view-helmet-angle-tilt-thingamajig (that's the technical term, so for laypersons, it's just the "thingamajig") and happened to touch my case with my other hand. My case has some exposed metal parts and wouldn't you know it, I touched...

I think the 3500+ system will win solidly in everything but encoding, and will win by a slight margin there... Bets?

Inspector Sledge Hammer ?! :eek:

How about... NinjitCPU :p

Also... If you want to help this thread improve, rather than critisizing the current post (in multi-paragraph posts that HAVE to take at least a few minutes each), just write down a couple components for your ideal build that fits into a certain niche computer build, super budget, mid-range...

Re-Bump for sticky

Bump before this thread is flushed down the toilet of time!

I don't know what kind of research you did on choosing your motherboard, but ... you chose the two most complicated mobo's out there :rolleyes: If you ever read any AMD mobo threads, it's very clear that DFI makes mobos that have a great many complicated options for getting out the extra...

Wow, that sounds like the PERFECT way of making people forget about a crappy socket.. I can't wait for M3, which will be Socket A over again :D

SilenX fans are a crock. Their sound measuring "techniques" involve testing the DBa's farther away from the fan than any other company does. Look for [honest] reviews of SilenX fans and you'll find that a lottt of people don't like them.

Maybe we could call it "externally influenced sepuku" instead of suicide?

Sorry, I thought CompUSA was nation-wide :(

And remember that Newcastle and Clawhammer have +1 multipliers for those :)

Ahhhh, not only Vinchenso 3 extra letters, it's a whole 'nother freaking syllable !! :eek: Instead of Sandy, Sand would be nice and simple. A nice reference to where the silicon comes from, too! :)

The earliest reference to Vinnie as a processor I could find on [H]ardforum (and believe me, googling "venice vinnie amd processor" is no use, it's too recent, I think) was http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1027506704#post1027506704

Mandatory slap to OP from tsuehpsyde incoming ;)

I don't know, I hear that low wages, shitty working conditions and being threatened with losing your job/life/family can make your IQ jump at least 30 points.

I'VE GOT IT! The ultimate abbreviation of Venice... Vizzo!

Newcastle ... hmmm... Nukesly? Oh boy, you're just begging for it! Capitol should be capital, puncuation should be punctuation and sentances should be sentences! Wheee :p

LOL, in the future, I'll stick to recommending hard drives and cases :D

Building your own computer is a piece of cake, and if you have any problems, we have a thousand people ready to help you in this forum :D All building your own entails is screwing a motherboard into a case, plunking on an HSF, connecting a few PSU wires, HD wires, CD/DVD drive wires and...
