They only have 256MB of RAM, right?

I love my iPod 4G 32Gb, but you're right, it's dog slow.

Even Netflix just crashes 9/10 of the time

Corsair H60 (2013) .. turned out that it wasn't all that silent, and the fan was so horrendous that it needed to be replaced. Never purchasing a cheaper single 120mm liquid cooling radiator.

Aerocool F4XT - wanted a fan controller, since the one on that stupid Packard-Bell OEM board didnt worked properly. Fan control worked flawlessly, but I ended up taping up the USB ports on it, since the PC would should shut (fail) off, anytime something touched one of those ports, and the header wasn't even plugged in.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Small radiator, less heat distribution, so the fan has to blow harder to cool the water...

I have an H50 right now, and it's pretty quiet. (though I can't speak for the fan. I replaced that with a Noctua NF-P12.

I don't enjoy my Logitech G35 anymore either.. When I got it I was super excited, but now.. For my new PC I'll go with an Asus Xonar Phoebus and a Sennheiser PC350. Pretty sure it's going to be much better.

My pizza:

 

It cost me £9000 and it broke when the delivery guy ate it, and it rusted.

 

Total rip off.

Battlefield 3... DOESNT WORK AT THE MOMENT

I bought it at launch for 30 euros, but it sucked so hard that I played it for a total of 6 hours. Walking, walking, walking, walking, walking, finally some action and BOOM DEAD, start of with walking again... I'm more the type of player for 18 people ffa on nuketown
