    That's insane... given mine was on sale, but normal price for it on amazon is only $120...

    The only monster I've heard is the audio/video cable guys, but this doesn't seem to be the same company. Looking at reviews for that, it looks a bit sketchy, to say the least.

    Yeah, don't think I'll go for it. There is a sammy 120GB for $89 or a PNY 120GB for $82. I'll get some money at the end of the school year (1 more week) and I might go for one of those. (Probably samsung)
    That $1,399 one looks like its a pricing error. The next most expensive one is an 840 evo 1TB for $419.

    So, a couple days ago I got that paintball gun I was talking about. Really high end gun, got it really cheap for how much it's worth. One thing: I dunno how to use it. The other one I have is cheap and simple, but this one has a system (I dunno what it does) and I can't get it to shoot. I just tried shooting it and managed to fire a paintball BACKWARDS. (The thingy popped out and shot a paintball at the sliding door behind me..)

    I know how the computer/solenoid system works (I can set it to fire full auto!) but I can't figure out the mechanism/thing on top. When I try to cock it and pull it back it won't go very far. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO MAKE IT WORK AND GOOGLE WONT HELP ME. It did come with the instructions which do not tell me anything about actually firing the gun.

    Benchybenchmarks :D

    I'm guessing that the crappy AMD chips are holding it back a bit... but that's plenty of speed anyways :L

    Gimme.

    My new RAID 0 setup with two 500GB WD Caviar Greens does like 100 MB/s read and 88 write. I wonder if I can add my 500GB Barracuda that was in my PC before for a 3-way RAID0..

    A 7970 is a sound choice.

    If you do, maybe sell me your current GPU? Pretty please? I promise to do lots of folding with it.

    Game wise maybe, F@H wise, yes! >:D Don't forget I already have a GTX 770 that passes 1300Mhz. I'm not sure yet.
    My horrid HDD speeds.

    Dude.... GET A BETTER MONITOR. You'll never max out any of those cards at 1280x1024 ;_;

    My problem is that I'd have to sell my card to get another card, I don't have spare cash. I actually can push them at 1920x1526, but I see your point. (Downscaled)

    Downscaling can only do so much for you.. But maybe I'm biased because of triple widescreen :rolleyes:

    Well I was catching up on this thread, and I read the conversation about locking doors and security systems. I know it was a few days ago but wutteva.
    I live in the higher income part of Knoxville, and it's kinda surprising how often peoples shit gets broken into. There have been a few break-ins in the houses surrounding mine in the past few years, as well as cars getting broken into.
    This house has a security system, but we never arm it much anymore, and apparently my parents only used to arm it so one of us kids wouldn't wander off in the middle of the night. We lock our doors whenever we leave and at night.
    I used to arm the security system myself, but I don't anymore. It's really a bitch trying to sneak out if it's armed.

    Well, I don't really know how much you're looking for. Whatever the price (If I can afford it) I'll add a billion internet cookies on top.

    Later or tomorrow I'll probably try the 3-way RAID 0. :D

    Jeez, I never realized how starved my front 3 intake fans on my case are. My 280x gets to 65°C normally while folding, but after taking of the front panel of my case exposing the 3 fans it only gets to 42°C

    It's nearly brand new, (just over 3 months) and clocks to 1307. I got it for $320 where normal was $350. $250? I'm not sure if I'd be able to carry through with the sale, but might as well give a price.
    The heck kind of cooler you have on it? That's amazing for a 280x, or any card really.

    It's an XFX Double-D. I think it runs so cool because it is only clocked at like 900 MHz. I could overclock it but I'm too lazy to do so.
