The model is way too skinny. she makes the hardware look cheap.

I did notice there were two girls in there, but even if you add them up you still get too little meat to call that a woman.

 

[wicko]

Wow, I can't believe I'm reading complaints about these girls. They are skinny, but not anorexic, they look like they're in very good shape. My girlfriend is getting jealous 😛

 

[blackened144]

I personally like the brunette for the articles.. Something about her reminds me of Christmas.. The blonde, not so much..

Wait, Did I miss something? What happened to part 2 and 3 of the 2008 Holiday Guide? All I see is part 1 and now this one....

 

[LSoares1]

nevermind - I see the links in this article, but I didn't notice them on the Guide section.

Were you looking for "fat girls gone wild" when you opened this review? Seriously, this had to be the dumbest complaint of the year.

Of course, you’ll void your warranty in the process,

does anyone know if intel really can tell if your CPU has been just mildly overclocked? with no burn marks ect. i wonder about that cause id love to overclock it's fun to tinker with, but could not afford getting a bum chip, and it not be under warranty.

Nice to see the update about the Seagate fix, finally.

 

[WINTERLORD]

That "the Gigabyte’s board with 2 graphics slots" is a sweet looking motherboard. and for anyone who just needs one graphics card slot i bet this be an alswome rig as well. a deffinit choice if i upgrade to the core 2 quad route. prolly go nehalem core i7 though

Yeah, but the point is compared to Sarah (particularly with long hair in 2006) these ladies aren't in the same league. Some of us like women who look at least a little curvy.

I know I should probably comment on the products not just the modeling talent, but since this is where the conversations begins, I'll jump in to the fray.

the actual dumbest "comment chain" of the year were on spotlight where hundreds of comments criticized Tamara for using a mac, dressing to casual, dressing to formal, being to expressive, being not expressive enough, being sexy, not being sexy... well I just find it amusing that nobody cares how Ben Meyer and Rob Wright look or dressup.
Fat girls gone wild... how drastic. What about water-cooled hot chicks ?

For part 6 of this guide, consider recommending this: http://www.livescribe.com/smartpen/index.html My friend has one and god I envy him for it. Helps to handle long lecturs (1hr +) easily.

I'm surprized I'm the first to catch it, but the motherboard in the picture is not the UD3R, it is the UD3P. The UD3P has 2 PCIe 16x slots, whereas the UD3R only has one. It you click to see the full sized picture you can read (barely) the correct model number.

 

[randomizer]

It must suck to handle all that hardware but not be able to keep it.

Ben and Rob posing in Christmas gear, that would be funny.

 

[caamsa]

I am sure that none of you boys have the hardware that these ladies would be interested in anyway.

Keep your flash drives in your pockets. ;-P

 

[motleydogg]

Sorry but my floppy drive has been replaced with a hard drive,... I wonder if I can place my RAM in the slot, I wouldn't try turning it on until after everything is in. I would like to monitor the cable being managed. It might get hot, but if we have a fan, I shouldn't have to twist those knobs to control things much,...

 

[MitchMeister-]

So I keep seeing everyone recommending the E8600.. but why when an E8400 is $100 less and the only difference is that it's not factory overclocked? Or is something on the E8600 that much better?

Photo 12......ahhh I certainly like a woman who is good at cable management. I am impressed indeed.

HIGH FIVE!

Huh?

Everything was cool until SSD was dropped into the mix. That thing isn't worth the money, nor does it actually do well in a Windows environment. Put that piece of junk back into your `theory' articles and just tell folk to get a Raptor or RAID0. SSD is not going to happen in earnest until they make it better for multitasking computers/users. Gonna be a while. Not a good gift.
