Well then don't do it.

I get a patchy beard that makes me look like a homeless person. I try to stay clean shaven.

Being a major arms dealer is not usually compatible with many other forgein policy interests. You just have to weigh out how much you want the money vs possible negative consequences to international relations. Common conundrum.

I'm kinda interested in that STEAM controller. It doesn't look terrible. I have the one fot Xbox, I think I've used it once didn't like the feel of it. The pointing operation look ok, expecially if there a handy modifier switch which allows for minute adjustments. I hope all the buttons are programmable.

Well too late to change anything now. I'll be putting the legos together Thursday or Friday hopefully.

I think I'm comming down in favor of the XFX ProSeries P1-750X-XXB9. http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page625.htm http://products.xfxforce.com/en-gb/Power_Supplies/ProSeries_750W_PSU/P1-750X-XXB9 It's probably Seasonic on the OEM side since the 400W model is listed. It's cheap compared to the others I've considered. I don't know that the distance from a bronze+ to a platinum+ rating warrants a doubling in price. If I'm reading that chart right It hits 32 Decibels in cooling mode (maximum) which is comparable to other gold and platinum rating PSUs I've been looking at. Although it appears the pages for the silver and bronze model is missing ?.

This rather expensive fractal design PSU lists two '6+2' Connectors. Does that mean two 6 pin and two 2 pin, so you could fit it in either a 6 or an 8 pin socket ? http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/power-supplies/newton/newton-r3-800w

What are the 6 pin connectors that go into my Radeon HD 7950 called. I have been looking into Corsair alternatives and it only lists 8 pin PCI connectors and no 6 pin connectors of any kind. Surely that can't be true. Doesn't even say if it comes with converters or how many. They also go up to 40 DB under full load, although they don't use the fan at all at low loads. http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/tx-series-power-supply-units.html

In the review link the from your last the Tesla is the only one who get's bad functionality marks under 'negatives', specifically 'Declining 3.3 V-rope under load'. The others get more acceptable complaints like 'too expensive' or 'too noisy under load.' I guess I should look into what else is available.

I can't find much in the way of reviews from benchmark sites that I usually trust, but I might go with it on the strength that it is gold+ and they probably have some in Sweden, where Fractal is based (across the bridge)

So the power supply is a no go, the only local webshop which had it listed have given up finding one for me within a reasonable time. Fractal design make gold+ standard PSUs and the price is pretty competitive, I am contemplating swapping the board for one that is EC compliant, but I only have 650w and 800w to chose from. If I am going for energy preservation in my build SLI nolonger makes sense anyway, but it would still be nice to have the option. Is the 800w option going to suck more power than it needs to because I will be using it possibly below it's ideal operating range. I am more than a little scared and confused by electricity. ;P http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/power-supplies/tesla/tesla-r2-650w

That's actually a thing as I'm sure you're aware. I would so watch this over all the damn women's handball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qzLIH67vZQ

I'm not.

It does seem like there's one every month. Doing on the 'strength' of the previous few installments I think I'll pass. I have little faith that Ubisoft will be able to produce anything I like. But different strokes for different folks and all. I really want to play The Last of Us, but I have little use for a console.

You can't really put a price of ref authority. Once a group of players swarm the ref, they get one warning, then it's cards for everyone. He hit the leg before the ball and it was from behind so it's a penalty.

Any thoughts on CPU cooling. I don't know the effective OC potential of the CPU other than there are architecture improvements over sandy bridge that allows for more room to experiment. Is it worth doing for a little extra muscle. Quiet is good though. I chose a HD7950 rather than a HD7970 on my last GFX buy because it had the smallest decibel number available. http://www.quietpc.com/lga1156-coolers There are several fanless offerings on that list, probably not the OC choice though.

The 32 gb ram is for large file handling in Photosop and Painter. One of the SSDs will be used for scratch disk the other for the system. With the ever increasing size of raw formats in digital cameras there are enthusiasts using 64 gb and 128 gb server based builds. My practical limit is 32. First question that comes to mind is whether the PS will be sufficient for upgrades. Will it SLI two new cards for instance. Without measuring equipment it's kinda hard to know exactly how much you need, and maybe it's impossible to plan completely for upgrades anyway.

Update Ok so I have now changed gears and am doing a build from scratch with a few components salvaged from my old box.

He's not unlike a whole host of republican pundits and talk show hosts. They are just mad because he does it better.

Yeah, does that happen to you a lot.

Not much for spirits, usually stick to beer and wine.

It's all pretty well known isn't it. Hitler had some entirely unrealistic expectations concerning diplomacy with the UK, no doubt born by his experienece of being able to bully everyone during appeasement, and also out of a genuine desire to make sure that Britain's vast empire didn't disolve to then be snatched up by other contenders. A lasting arrangement following victory at Dunkirk was very much in his interest. There were british 'Nazis', with prominent sympathisers, but they never achieved any popular support, and of course by the outbreak of war it was too late for any such movement to gain hold. Assassinating Hilter would only have made sense during his meteoric diplomatic successes before Poland and up to perhaps following the defeat of France. After these events he was deemed to be a bonus due to his constant meddling with military operations and nonsensical directives. This was an ever escalating tend as his mental health deteriorated. With someone competent like Manstein, Guderian or Model in charge Barbarossa could have gone the other way. It's certainly not impossible.

Don't die on us. Contemplating buying a PCI express 3.0 SSD, which is completely mad since it costs four times the SATA one for the same capacity. I mustn't succumb to the cool factor.

Those Mac mice are so ass backwards. Anyway any gamer worth his salt has a macro enabled mouse. Granted mine is a little ludicrous with 15 buttons. You need that for clunky console ports, of which there are many. I have Alt, Space, Ctrl, shift and WASD at my disposal without moving my palm. That's about all the keyboard I want to use.
