  1. I have the droid incredible.. LOVE IT I used to have the moto droid and like the others said it runs hot, but that is about the only downside. The droid incredible does not run hot at all. When I upgraded I originally got the droid X , but it was too big for me, and I am a big guy. It just seemed like I was holding an envelope to my head. I went with the incredible which has identical features as the x including 1ghz processor and 8mp camera so on and so on. It is just a little smaller... about the size of the iphone which for me is perfect. All the apps are great and really I think I have only paid for 1 app. You can get most of them for free.
  2. I like Ford's list but you can get the 930 at microcenter for 199.99 http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_...duct_id=0331303 and I personally would go with the ATI Radeon 5850 over the 460 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...1-330-_-Product
  3. Ok first off I am sorry if this has already been posted, but I just came across it on youtube Secondly my disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this video are not necessarily the views and opinions of ChaosTheory This video I actually find offensive and completely degrading to women... but sadly very funny ENJOY!
  4. Personally I would go with a SATAIII/ 6gbs that has 64mb cache over a 10,000 rpm raptor drive with 32mb cache... That 64mb cache makes up the rpm difference and you can get a much larger drive for a lower price. 64mb cache = faster read/seek times 10,000 rpm with 32mb cache gives you almost identical read/seek times, but slightly faster on writes. I guess it depends whats important to you or if you just have to have it =) I am the guy that just has to have it some times, so I understand that.
  5. Ok most recent pics in order they were taken... My wife and I Valentines Day My Daughter Nova My Son Alden The Whole Family Wife and Kids at the Zoo.. with a special appearance from Jonathan the Lion Those are most recent from valentines day to 2 days ago at the zoo
  6. Here is what I put together for you http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWi...Number=12438732
  7. Don't be jealous... I have also had a clutter of wires under my desk for years and years.... hasn't caught fire yet
  8. Ok here we go again... almost done with it. I got my parts in, but unfortunately I picked a gpu cooler that was incompatible with my graphics card (I wasn't paying attention when I ordered it) So what was installed was the silent fans, cold cathode light, NZXT Lcd display, thermaltake fan controller, and my acoustic dampening sound foam. I am pretty much done with the inside... I would still like to find a good aftermarket GPU cooler, and maybe add one more cathode for the bottom of the case, but overall i am very pleased with the way it turned out. This was my first time ever using the sound foam, and it is a difficult task to install it. The results however are worth it I just have to cut the viewing window out of my side panel, and I will be finished... I plan on posting more pics of how I did it and making a video I will share, but tell me what you think so far
  9. You will not be disappointed with that card. I run the 5850 and it rocks! Performs way better than my GTX 275 oc nvidia... meh
  10. Ok guys first of all this is going to be a long post with lots of pics so bare with me. Lets start off with what components I am using. Case: Cooler Master HAF (high air flow) 922 Motherboard: Asrock x58 Extreme socket 1366 <br> Processor: Intel core i7 920 2.66 ghz overclocked to 3.33 ghz stable (temps 34c-42c load) Memory: Corsair Dominator 6gig (3x2 gig) PC3 1600 mhz Graphics Card: XFX ATI Radeon 5850 Power Supply: Corsair TX 750 W CPU Cooler: Corsair H50 water cooling block Hard Drives: 2x WD Raptor 74gig in raid0 and 1X Seagate 1TB Optical: LG dual layer dvd burner Floppy: Sony all-in-1 card reader Now my goal here is not just to have an awesome computer, but to make it fully customized for me. So I started by taking it completely apart so I could paint all the steel inside the case black. To do this you simply need a power drill with a 1/8in bit and some confidence as you drill out all the rivets that hold it together. Once I got it completely apart I took it to my garage and with 2 cans of regular flat black spray paint I painted all of the parts of the case that were steel black. I am not planning on leaving it just like this, so I did not bother to seal it with a clear coat. However if this is something you are going to want to do to your case I suggest a clear coat to keep the paint from lifting. Once you have it painted simply re-assemble the case using a rivet tool and 1/8 x3mm pop rivets. (you can buy both at home depot for under $20) After re-assembly its time to put your components back in. And there you go a relatively easy modification that really gives you case a professional look. I am not stopping here this is just phase one for me... Parts on order are: acoustic sound dampening foam, 4x 120mm silentX fans, NZXT front panel lcd readout, 4 button fan control switch (front panel), aftermarket gpu cooler (havnt decide which one) and a cold cathode internal light. Tell me what you guys think and if you would be interested in seeing another post with the updates. For now though this is what the machine looks like I use to kick your asses!
