Should you be worried if you noticed the PC component first in every pic...

Girl #1 in the sweater . . . what a cutie

 

[JMcEntegart]

has anybody ever told you that if you were to buy stuff for this modeling gig, you'd be able to write it off on taxes in the USA as a business expense and work expense. granted you are stuck up there in canada, but still..... < hint hint >

Unboxing videos and the like are as far as I'll go! Besides, I'm fairly certain you're in the minority on this one. Thank you, though! It's definitely appreciated.

Image 12 gives us a little cheek action, which is nice.

But didn't anyone tell Tom's side boob is all the rage these days? Where can I get some side boob?

I must agree that the blonde RAM lady is gorgeous. I would let her hold my 1600 MHz Crucial parts anytime...

"..still want cooling and acoustic benefits of a liquid-based solution.." Here we go again with the fallacy that liquid cooling is quieter than air displacement. Liquid needs both a radiator and fans to cool. More often than not the radiator won't fit in the case (Swiftek anyone?) and needs to be secured outside the case thus creating a lot more noise than a case with smart air displacement and proper sound dampeners.

Ingenious marketing tactic. These models were likely hired to actually model the clothes and someone handed them a computer part after they had the clothing shots done.

 

[rbagany]

geek pr0n, ehh?

 

[blackhawk1928]

Can somebody mind telling me where the "parts" were in the pictures...went through 25 pictures and didn't see any.

[cm0011]

I cant get my eyes away from the non-computer parts!!!!!!!!! sorry!

 

[_zxzxzx_]

Great job Tom's...you keep my eyes off the hardware every time!

These are all great recommendations, the only quibble I have is with the MB. The $50 ASRock MB is a heck of a bargain, but I can't imagine building a Trinity Box (or any Box, for that matter) without HDMI.

If you don't need mATX, the ASRock FM2A85X (as opposed to A75X) is still a great deal for $40 more.

 

[bigcyco1]

Hahaha guys somebody is getting offended look at all the thumb downs if it's any ladies doing it we apologize were just pigs.

 

[Guest]

I need a liquid cooler, I'm over heating.

 

[techlady]

I dunno which is worse, a case as big as a model or a model the size of a computer case.
