    Cars in my experience have always been ladies. Like my '98 Honda Prelude - "Ms. Lude", it was an abusive relationship both ways and in the end she took me for everything I had.

    I don't really get what is going on with this thread but I see people posting pictures of their cars so... This is Sheila.

    I'd like to know why a full sized radiator wasn't used. Like from a car or an air conditioner. One could've been picked up for cheap at a scrap yard. And then only one fan would be necessary, plus the parts are designed to be exposed to the elements.

    I thought the NUCs had blowers don't they? I guess I'll have to win and find out.

    I mentioned this in our private conversation but I'll post here as well so we can get some more opinions. On the Puget Systems site (I was REALLY wanting that mineral oil case) they have an article about the draw backs of having your OS drive in RAID and the reasoning is that it adds a level of complexity that only garners minimal performance improvements since the small writes won't really be any quicker and the reads will be nearly the same as a single drive. Plus you are counting on 2 drives not failing instead. It would be nice to get another voice on this. Perhaps from a member that doesn't have my "Newbie" tag.

    I know this isn't the thread for it, and boy oh boy a quiet PC is dandy but where do we find out the wieners of the Mineral oil cases? For cereal though, quiet PC is fabulous.

    This is 'nanners, how much stuff do you guys give away?! Anyhoo, if I won I'd build a sweet PC for high FPS high res mine-sweeper!

    Maybe get a second Evo and run them in RAID for more better-ness. I have one if you like. I opened the box to see the contents but I'm not using it. How much would shipping be?

    I'm pretty much at the same point.i-950 and a GTX 680. I'm surprised that I'm already noticing the frame rates dropping in recent games. I'm running a mild overclock, basically just the turbo-boost clock speed at all times. I've been waiting for a real jump forward and I'm thinking that DDR4 and a few more cores might have to do for now. Was hoping for organic CPUs or some sort of slave-brain but yeah....8 cores....woo! Or whatever.

    Honestly I'd say start with assembly. Then once you feel like you're starting to get the idea switch to C. C seems pretty slick after assembly. Then learn about object oriented programming while still learning C. Once you feel like that's becoming comfortable switch to C++. It'll blow your mind how much easier it is. Then do the same thing, right when you're getting comfortable switch to C#. You'll have learned the basics of everything AND have an appreciation for the different styles.

    I used the handle "Snoood" in Halo tournaments because for some reason I'd yell it while going rambo and it seemed to help. So when Halo2 came out I got an Xbox Live subscription and claimed the hell out of it. Apparently I have it on PSN as well but i forgot. Somebody on Steam already claimed it (possibly me also) so I had to add an "o".

    So now I'm thinking I might just do the mineral oil build regardless of whether or not we win the case. It'll be harder to find a suitable tank and I'm sure that'll increase the price but after piecing out different builds I think it's the only way. I'm sick with the idea.

    A friend asked me to put a PC together for them. They wanted to be able to do some light photo editing and the husband wanted to see how gaming on a PC would compare to his console (PS3). I allocated about half of the budget to the GPU and bought the cheapest MOBO and case I could get. These weren't going to be power users so they would need/notice the additional features of a higher end board/case. She is really into Dr. Who so I did a little custom paint job on the front with black enamel and a home-made stencil of the phone booth (I was told it's called a Tardis but c'mon...it's a phone booth) And since this thing would be able to churn out damn decent in-game performance I figured that little catch phrase was perfect.
