The "New Toys" Thread

^ Good point btw, I'd move that small amp a little further away from the tv, if that's what's causing it.

Love Cooler Master cases. My current rig has a Centurion 5 and it has been fantastic with a lot of heavy hardware inside spewing out a bucket load of heat.

I'm getting a new rig next week tho and that one has an Antec 900, hopefully it will perform as well as the CM did.

Installed them into the back of my extended cab F150. Stereo sound sooooo much better now compared to the blown stock ones :lol:

I can kill trees once more, now with added wifi support so all my laptops can connect with it directly.

Nah - if its anything like my Panasonic its just a build flaw with the rear projection design. Unplug it from mains power for a day or so and that'll fix it. It'll probably keep happening, but once disconnected from powah it shall magically be fine.

Woot! Just got my 32GB SD card today for my Cowon D2.

48GB of flash awesomeness!

New CPU cooler

I'm struggling to find settings to get abouve 3.78ghz

My camera's settings are off, so the light looks blue instead of white.

I think I made a good deal, managed to haggle a bit and got myself an Abit IP35 Pro & Scythe Mine rev. B for just 60 euros. I've been tinkerin' with it today and managed to get my E4300 up to a pleasant 3GHz (9x333MHz) with minimal adjustments. I even managed to boot it to bios with 9x380MHz but I guess my "as cheap as it gets" Kingston memory can't cope with that kind of speed.

MORR TOYS!

MORR TOYS!

That heat sink looks nice, Raparperi. I need to get something that efficient for my next build.


Philips Active Noise Canceling Headphones, SHN2500 OEM



Great sounding for approx. $13, however there is no real "Noise Canceling" and that's not much fun having that brick of plastic amp dangling without a clip. Should I really be complaining for $13? No.



Can I call those things toys?

Picked up 6x 1.5TB Seagates (7200.11 ST31500341AS)

1x ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer - 6bay diskless

2x 1GB Kingston value ram sticks (for the ReadyNAS)

and some Lego

Is it supposed to have that purple splotch in the bottom left hand corner? It's not too bad though, definitely playable

I didn't even notice that until I posted the photo up here. I haven't seen that little splotch since.

Backing up your back ups of back ups? Or did your Midget Porn collection get that big???

Cool Lego BTW.

yeah I was thinking, what could possibly fill up 9 TB worth of data?
then I remembered the filth there was on the internets

I was gonna rip all my DVDs until I realized how quickly I'd eat up my 5TB. Now we got Blu-Rays to throw into the mix too.

Its easy to do, even without porn

 

[killpanda]

Just run "$ yes > /Volumes/HD/big_file" for a few hours, it should fill the 9TB quite nicely.

^i have no idea what you just said. I fear I am not nerdy enough for this thread...

 

[IceBone]

It's a command line.... command that starts making a file without a set max size.
