I got 143, not bad seeing as the processor I used is one of the first dual-cores to hit the market...

Am I the only one who's a little apprehensive about clicking a weird looking link that runs a Flash app on my computer and wants semi-personal info from me, by someone with 5 posts?

nope, i wasnt going anywhere near that link. even if it is just a performance gauge, its an ingenious way to gather data.

data like what browser and OS you use etc... ? You do realize that this info is freely given to websites by your browser right? It's as simple as a few java script inquiries.

while that part is freely given with any site visit, i still have a problem with any kind of data mining that gives them my demographics based on my preferences. it is innocuous, but i still dont like it. same reason i dont give big 5 sports stores and others my zip code to shop there. they want to see how far you drove to shop there, but i still give them their own zip.

Didn't know you had a super computer on that cruise ship!? :p what are you running ?

No supercomputer (well that I can put my hands on a daily basis! :p)

A picture is worth lots of words and I don't feel like typing so...

I have a bd drive in my notebook. Most worthless piece of hardware ever. (Someone gave me a movie and I tried it and it takes literally minutes before the movie plays = fail)

Damn, nice setup! What processor, 980x? OCed I'm guessing. A woman who knows here hardware is nice! :awe:

That must have cost a pretty penny too, nice quality components it looks like, those that I can identify anyway.

Wow, that is so beautiful. The best looking innards I've seen.

It is so neat and organized.

980x at 211*21 1.35V +72C LinX load. :biggrin:

Yes I'm a fanatic about cable management but I don't go as far as individually sleeving PSU leads aka murdermods. :D

SAS and backplanes cut down on a lot of flying cables too.

Had to get rid of the "tool less" drive mounts as they are not secure enough in case the box takes a spill on the floor.
