I picked up a new case, a CM 690. You may be thinking, did you jsut get a new case? Well, yes, but I wanted a 690 but fry's didn't have any that day so, I bought a 590. However, I found a friend who needed a roomier case so I convinced him that he needed my 590 so I bought the 690.

My attempts at clean cables.

Works internet, which is limited by my lousy line from the main switch to my switch in the office.

That's so awesome. Is it T1 or something Olie?

100 mbit internet here costs about $200/mo.

T1 is only 1.5 Mbit/s.......it was considered fast back in the 90's when it was the norm among businesses, schools, etc, but most cable packages are faster than that today.

No, unfortunately not all. I know some people in Michigan who still have sub 1 mb/s speeds. When you live outside of town, you don't always have much to choose from in terms of broadband.

Olie · July 26th, 2008, 04:49 AM

its a 1Gbps fibre connection to the provider about 1km away.

When will Australian internet ever catch up with the rest of the developed world?

God I miss Asia's fast internet.

Gabkicks · July 26th, 2008, 03:07 PM

I love my new PC

I was a bit disappointed at the performance I was getting in crysis, then I realized I was accidentally recording myself playing w/ FRAPS

Its so sweeeet.

Shawn · July 26th, 2008, 04:09 PM

^ Did you OC your machine? The E8400 is 3GHz.

NooDle · July 26th, 2008, 06:58 PM

That porsche steering wheel > every other steering wheel in the world > my crappy, non FF Microsoft wheel

devil500 · July 26th, 2008, 07:01 PM

I like my G25, the Porsche wheel is too $$ for my bloody now :p

Gabkicks · July 26th, 2008, 11:29 PM

yeah, i just underclocked my ram from 1066 to 800 and then bumped up the fsb from 333 to 380. I'm using all stock cooling, so I don't want to do too much. I may try tightening up the timings on my ram, but Everything runs fine @ stock speeds. Graphics card is mildly OC'ed as well. The Porsche wheel's great. I'm looking for a league to joint that races the Historix mod for rfactor.

Viper007Bond · July 27th, 2008, 01:07 AM

@ the vertical monitor. That'd drive me nuts. Okay, maybe it'd be nice for a second monitor, but for your main?

devil500 · July 27th, 2008, 01:18 AM

I could understand if budget was a factor, but year I'm so used to widescreen it's hard to use anything else :p Also I got my 19inch Acer for $150 it went up in price after that
