Damn Im getting rammed right now lol.

My bad on the Tag, I never knew they made anything else! Honest mistake my bad. But you get the point.

I still stick with my point though, even though D34th that was a very good analogy as bossy said, I still think a watch should be bought from a watch only company.

Let me correct that, AN EXPENSIVE watch. So if you're gonna get a watch thats a few grand from guess or boss then its dumb, a cheaper on ok its fine. Better? Im better off just not giving my opinion honestly lol. Pretty unpopular ones it seems :s
 
Well I died a little inside today. I made the appointment to have a simple repair done on my car by a mechanic all because I don;t have space to work. Can't wait until may when we move out of this apartment and rent a house with a driveway.
 
Does anybody have any personal knowledge as to whether the Noctua NF-A15 fans can be disassembled (As in, remove the fans from the frame) like most fans, and like the older Noctua 140mm fans. I'm not having much luck getting them apart easily despite having taken many of their older 140mm models apart, which simply pulled off and were only held together magnetically. There is nothing on the back end to hold them together so I'm fearing that they have a press fit bearing design or something.
 
So far the indications are that it cannot because Noctua went to a sealed bearing design, which in automotive applications wouldn't have squat to do with the driven shaft being able to be removed and reinstalled, as with sealed wheel bearings on CV shaft driven applications, but apparently Noctua, in their infinite wisdom, decided they didn't want users changing the color of their fans easily so they opted to NOT make the fans capable of being removed from the frame and bearing assembly. Stupid if you ask me.

On another note, you're always welcome to make the drive down to my house if there's something you need to do on your car, so keep that option in the back of your mind as well. I'm more than happy to help out so you don't have to spend money needlessly, although I get it that sometimes it's just cheaper to pay somebody to do what you could do yourself rather than spend the time and money making a trip.
 


Those are actually relatively mid range in the watch world. I went to this FBO that my company designed at San Bernardino called "Million Air". When I was in the lobby, I was reading this magazine that they had called "Million Air Magazine", and they had an article on watches. Some of the watches in this article retailed - I think the cheapest one was like $75,000. Some were in the $250K+ range. I mean this article had watches that cost as much as some people's houses. And none were from any of the brands that you mentioned. :ouch:
 
Gunit - Well yeah because Im talking about stuff thats REALISTIC for us in the future. Fancy watches that are a in the 5-7k area. I know there are 100k and even million dollar watches but we arent go to buy those haha. If we were all millionaries then Id bring up crazy companies but you get what Im saying right?
 


Yeah true but that's one of those things where even if I had the money to spend on that kind of item, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on that item. :lol:

If we wanted to talk about some ultra expensive cars I could bring up Koenigsegg, Pagani, and Lykan - you know cars that would make Bentley and Ferarri look like toys by comparison. :lol:
 


That plus all the horsepower in the world doesn't mean anything when you're sitting in 3MPH traffic on I-10 in Los Angeles. :lol:
 


Yeah if I had millions I wouldnt buy a 250k watch. As I said, something like 7k or so.
As for cars....Lykan is trash. Their 3.5 million hyper sport has an average interior and a not so great engine FOR THE PRICE. Its diamond incrusted lights are weird colors and just a complete waste of 3.5Mil. Im POSITIVE Tiny thinks its a waste of money too when you can "Build" A better car xD Now Koenigsegg and Pagani are great, BUT I would still rather have a bently/ ferrari over them. Sure the others are faster and are crazy amazing hyper cars, but with a ferrari and bently, you get amazing PERFORMANCE and LUXURY (As you know Im crazy for luxurious cars)...especially the ferrari cause (458) it would be quicker and more sporty (duh) then say a continental GT, with great luxury too. Again its all just an opinion but Id rather have something along the lines of a ferrari, bentyl, lambo etc over a crazy hyper car.
 
Does anyone else think that the Bugatti veyrons is ugly as heck... I can't stand it.
Anyways, those are showpieces... Most of them. I want to know how many people would daily drive a Bugatti or Lamborghini.
 
Holy smokes, we might as well get rid of Futuremark and replace it with Assassin's Creed Unity. Booted that game up for the first time last night, and I will say first off that is is extremely well optimized on the CPU-side, uses all 4 cores at about 40% utilization each. But man my GPU usage is at 100% (obviously a good thing) and fans are spinning at 100% and the card is at 90C! Any other game besides this game usually keeps my card around 70C with 40% fan speeds on 100% usage, but man Unity is literally as tasking as a stress test on a graphics card.

Any recommendations for cooling my R9 390 a bit better? I guess I could clear some cluttering cables out of the way of the fan.
 


You mean the ones that look like this in the front end

Yeah if I had a car like that I'd be afraid to drive it.

 
If you had a car like that, you wouldn't need to drive it. Just park it in front of the club once, and spend the rest of your days leisurely selecting which of the lovely ladies gets to work the stick. Oops, did I say that. My bad.
