For the love of god, please don't follow Linus' guide for help on watercooling...

Stickg1,
Yeah I've only seen a few go for $100 or less but they aren't that reputable. IO Gear seems like a whole kit and saves you from buying new cables...?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Ouch. I have never used a KVM.. I either use a raspberry pi(not mine), virtual machines, or actual PC's...
I have to rollback my HDX to put CYNANOGENMOD!!!!!!!

RazerZ, are you on the LTT forums, saw you around, got curious haha...

 

[RazerZ]

Yea, slowly educating their community

Compared to TH I'm finding a lot of their members are either immature, rude, or kids spouting nonsense like the i5 2500k is worse than an i3 4150. Or how AMD doesn't make a single good consumer-grade CPU.

But I have to say their forum layout is more convenient to use imo.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Ya, I'd agree that the layout is more convinent to use, but I thinks thats because they do less news for the most part.

 

[tiny voices]

Holy crap I hate that place. I went there on request from a user I helped here just to check it out and immediately got bashed/bad mouthed/ hated on as soon as they found out I was a mod here. Immature is DEFINITELY the word for it.

 

[Bossyfins]

It is as if only 1% of their community is actually people. The rest are kids doing nothing but BS

 

[RazerZ]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words

Linus always makes videos where he's stoned out of his mind so it's no wonder that his forums are full of pre-pubescent kids who spend mommy and daddy's money.

Linus is a bit of a joke and he's definitely not where I look for professional advice. I don't think that guy has ever worked a hard day in his life...

Tom's or OC.net, et al for me.

The ASRock H81M-ITX/WIFI looks like the ideal board for a cheap HTPC with a G3258. Or any sub $160 Intel chip for that matter.

Hmmm, that board looks a lot more interesting than the non-wifi version of it. The non-wifi one only has two SATA ports on it, which seems like a rather severe limitation. It would make a decent thick client or office PC, but pretty much needs to be on a network. For a HTPC, you'll need an optical drive (if only to play Redbox stuff). That leaves you with one connector for a system drive, but that's it.

THAT is legal in Cali. Gimmeh... Only if to make every one else's horns go off somehow...

 

[tiny voices]

I wouldn't be screwing around in SoCal with a pro-charged mustang right now.

That car is bada** though. They fail in the article to mention that it will cost about 2/3 the price of the car or more to make that much power reliably. :lol:

I'm on the hunt again for a car. The G35 has to go soon.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

THATs the kind of street racing where I used to live. Pure stupidity. That said, turns out Vortech makes CARM approved Superchargers... and Crawford has theirs if I manage to get a WRX.. I NEED to convince my mom to look at CPO's...

 

[tiny voices]

I'm actually looking at another WRX as well. This time a 09-10. If you are serious about buying one let me know and I will run you through all the major failures certain model years are known for a what to avoid.

I am completely willing, but I don't have the green-light, so I'm limited to looking. Wee bit money tight.

No more McDorkles or Burger Ralph will add up quickly, and improve your health.

 

[tiny voices]

Fast food is seriously the worst. I quit eating it (and drinking soda) like a year and a half ago and you really honestly feel alot better.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I don't eat fast food unless I am out with friends, so once a month max...

 

[Bossyfins]

I drink a soda about once every 2 weeks.. It used to be like once a day, but i am controlling my self

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Muy friend drinks one of the Larges from Mcdonalds a day and is thin and healthy. He's trying to stop though, thankfully.

 

[RazerZ]

On another note, Microsoft decided to ditch the internet explorer name for their new browsers starting with the win 10 release.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I read about that, didn't care since I shall still use Chrome and Firefox

 

[tiny voices]

Waterfox master race checking in. :lol:

 

[RazerZ]

Never heard of it, but I'm downloading it right now to see how it compares to Chrome.

 

[Lutfij]

Chrome since v3 of release
