    Alright, I'll do the benchmark. Just wanted to make sure that I'm not wasting my time
  2. sirtoby
    Are you actually going to do something with the results, or are you just too lazy to google benchmarks?

    If you want to spend more money, Zalman makes a 2.5" enclosure that has a cd emulator intgrated, so it acts like an external optical drive. You apparently can just put ISO's in a special folder on the drive and then you can boot from them. It's about 50$, but unless you want that feature, I'd go with a regular enclosure TekSyndicate has a review of the previous model

    They go for between 10-15$ on Amazon. Just get one from there with decent reviews. I would look for one with a removable cable.

    Alright, Mindfactory should do the trick then. I never ordered from them, but they seem fine. My problem with them is that they always have the lowest prices, but shipping on some ram is like 7€ within Germany. The shops that I have had good experiences with are Caseking and Amazon. Caseking ships to Ireland for about 45€(depends on weight).

    And ordering from England?
  7. sirtoby
    Is there a particular reason for why you are ordering from Germany? Mindfactory and HWV don't have the best reputation when it comes to returns and RMA. Ordering from OverclockersUK would save you quite a bit of shipping cost.

    What router do you have? Mine can run its ports at 100 mbit or GBit and you have to switch manually.

    Do you realise that there are more countries than America? I wouldn't order from them unless they're the cheapest. Their customer service isn't great and I've heard some terrible stories about their PC building service. The places that have been reliable for me are (in no particular order): Caseking, Alternate, Amazon, Arlt, Jacob. Mindfactory is alright too, but they have ridiculous shipping prices.

    Factorio, CS:GO, Anno, Torchlight. We spent our last Party playing Factorio for 12 hours, which was awesome

    This guy is the reason why companies will stop offering warranties on used cars

    I CAN'T HEAR YOU, THE RATTLING IS TOO LOUD

    I remember seeing pictures of an UP! GT with 105hp which is available in Brazil, but VWs marketing wankers think it wont sell in Europe. I had a Cross UP! as rental car once and it was fun on country roads, but those 30 more hp would have made it incredible.

    Are there no coilovers that already have the ABE? German tuning laws are quite "special", I mean you even need to buy a certified windshield if you want to replace the stock one on your motorcycle.

    400 for TÜV to take a quick look at them and sign a piece of paper?

    I'm currently looking around for what to replace my current Golf with in half a year or so. I accidentally looked at the RX-8. Now I want one. Fuck. Why brain, Why?! It does 15-20mpg and needs a litre of oil for every 3000Km. Its insurance is cheaper though. HOW?! How can a fucking 200hp sportscar be 200€ cheaper per year than a 75hp Golf ffs? I know somebody who has one, maybe he can talk me out of it.

    Thanks, That's how VW called them. The lift seemed a bit too high to be stock, but I might be wrong. I don't have pictures of it but it looked very close to this
  18. sirtoby
    Is that one of those AWD T3s next to your car? My neighbour had one that was lifted and on mud tires, which made it look badass.

    Great video. The very personal and off the cuff style fits the topic incredibly well, but my god the comments. Those are worse than Twitch chat.
  20. sirtoby
    Thanks, I never knew that that was a thing

    Hey, you found the caps lock button, good job. Unofficially, that could happen within the next two years. I may see Valve upping price money to 1 milion instead of 250k for the majors, but not more. Where a lot of the money will be coming from, is the stickers. With Turner (TV network) having its own 1million dollar league, I could see Valve supporting that by allowing stickers for those events. If I remember correctly, the overall payout for the biggest major last year (ESL One Cologne) was 4.2 million, despite having only 250k price money. The rest came from stickers and signatures. Dota is currently Valves highest priority and it will stay that way for the foreseeable future.

    Is there a way to get "goto unread" back? It was very helpful in topics with a lot of pages.
  23. sirtoby
    CS is rising, but most of the money is in Dota. This will change, but not for at least a year. Dota is Valves main priority right now

    What baffles me, is that the buyer must have looked at an S-Max, which is better in every single way and still bought that stupid Espace. It even costs the same.
  25. sirtoby
    Also a possibility. I just feel sorry for the engineers who had to somehow make a driveable vehicle out of the drawings. I mean if they got home and got asked what they did that day, what could they say? "Well, I made a car that has better vomit inducing potential than salt water and a 35% chance to give its driver cancer"?
