WITHTEETH

I'm waiting on the case to come in and also which motherboard to get ever since the review on the Striker extreme 680i EDIT: It should be done shortly after new years

Bokishi, tell me how you end up arranging your fans if you don't get the window side panel!

I thought this was interesting, It looks like a CM Stacker 830 knock-off doesn't it? Clicky!!!

Do you have air filters for your air intake? If not you can make some yourself pretty easily.

I think what the US is paying now for health care equals how much health care would cost for everyone. The corporate health care system in place is a sham. Take for instance the bills Bush passed for seniors, or how we won't accept Canadian drugs. Ever had restless leg syndrome, we got a pill for it! Notice how many of the commercials on US television end up advertising drug pills that there pushing on consumers. Thats just the tip of the iceberg. The inner workings of our health care system is nasty. Clicky!!! But at least the gov i help support will help John doe with 6 kids have health care, and congress, while i have to fend for myself. Edit: Maybe I'm wrong, maybe health care doesn't deserve to be a right.

Hmmm, my reasoning for having the the 2 left fans sucking and the 2 right fans blowing were to have a swift moving or fresh air blowing to help cool and move the air while also getting it out of the case. Do you think its better to have all 4 fans blowing out so the heat will dissipate quicker? If so, then wouldn't this cause a vacuum in my case? Why would a vacuum be that bad anyway? Having a spotcooler on my GPU where my RAM is might be an excellent idea since there is no cooler, or even a heat sink on the ram. Its from XFX, and its a 7900 Extreme Edition over clocked. Maybe i could add some heat sinks myself if it gets too hot... EDIT: now that i look at my graphic card, i noticed a quick add of heatsinks may be more difficult then i thought since half of my memory chips are partially covered by the core cooling heatsink/fan. <_<

The motherboard I have has some heat pipes, I'm wondering the correct fan placement i should have for optimal cooling performance. So is it better to suck hot air out or blow air in? Theres a total of 7 fans plus a power supply that blows air in. The fan mounted on the top of the case should be blowing warm air out. The fan in the front of the case blowing cold air in. The fan in the back of the case blowing hot air out. This leaves me with a huge wall of 4 fans built into the case to play with. What should i do? I'm thinking the left 2 pushing warm air out, and the right 2 blowing cold air in. I heard a vacuum inside a vase can be bad so I was looking to balance it. Any suggestions or tips?

Descrive isn't even in my dictionary, is it a real word? Give me the truthiness!

I've noticed a lot of people are getting this board. I'll have to check this and the one meta mentioned. I just bought a wifi card though so if i were to get the wifi mobo id feel i wasted 50 bucks... then again the mobo i was about to get cost 320! mkreku, will it support core 2 quad? how do you feel about the expansion slot options? edit: i noticed the abit has solid state capacitors, reset button, and overclocks pretty well. My only question is, are these 975x mobos able to have the higher FSB of 1333 when the time comes? Is it just an update they would give to the bios? EDIT: EDIT: Do you guys think that all this passive cooling stuff is a waste of money when they could add a fan and call it good. You need a fan anyway if you are going to use water blocks to get some kind of air flow anyway right? Not that im using water.

I was going to get the 680i striker extreme by asus, but HARDOCP gave it a terrible review. Chipset runs hot, cpus run 5-10F higher, cant overclock past 400FSB What is the stock setting FSB for this striker? And what does 400FSB equal in mhz for the cpu, anyone know? Seems like a revision is in order, it may be due to the bios, but if its a hardware problem then I'm going to get some other chipset, any good 975X, whats the top of the line anyone know, im looking for overclockability, stability.

Exactly! I jumped on the new standard band wagon now, so later on when i want to upgrade their will be options still. You can get pretty cheap C2Duos for just around 150, and other cheap parts. But i really recommend getting a good motherboard because that is generally the last thing you want to upgrade, and can create problems for expansion which can be a huge bottleneck.

Case: Cooler Master Stacker RC 830 $240 Power Supply: Antec True Power 650 Watts $100 Case Fans: 1 Antec 120mm , 4 CM UV Silent 120mm $50 Motherboard: Asus Striker Extreme 680i $340 Ram: Kensington DDR2 800mhz 2 Gigs $250 Processor: Core 2 Duo E6600 2400 $310 Graphic Card: eVGA 7900GT CO 256MB $200 This is the computer I'm in the middle of putting together. If you wanted to get something like this you could make it a bit cheaper by getting a cheaper motherboard, for around $200 and also a cheaper case for $100 making the net cost about $800 instead of $1100. EDIT: Compare prices everywhere. I saved a lot of money!

I haven't been able to find his album where I buy my music yet unfortunately. Do you like it, is it better then radiohead?

Do you know of a book that goes over the founding fathers of the US when creating the Declaration of Independence and Bill of rights, and how they all came to decide on what, what materials they used to decide what they did? I was reading about the federalists a bit and I'm still wanting more.

Atlas Shrugged currently by Ayn Rand Was Common Sense by Thomas Pain any good?

Contruction Ill tell what happens tomorrow when i find out.

Especially since he was drunk, asking me repeatedly, threatening to fire people. I'm kinda disappointed in my friend for telling my boss who smokes, making me look like a liar. Lying isn't a sin and its not always bad! oh well, my boss was just on a drunk tirade.

awfully cynical crowd tonight.

:'(

I should go in and tomarrow and Say "High" to everyone.

He took the cleaning lady to McDonalds and got her a bigmac, and thats what it took for him to get e bj'er! The lady looked like she would do it for a bigmac too... I advise you not too. You'd feel guilty after

I jus think its hilarious that my BOSS is calling me at 9 at night piss drunk wanting to know whos gots the weed! Which is worse, weed or alcohol? Subjective, i do neither btw.
