That's why no one gives your opinion any weight. :p

It's Anodized actually. Oh and with my 2600k and GTX 570 overclocked, my rig will be faster than yours. :p

Watercooling is good insurance when overclocking both CPU and GPU. You just have to ask yourself if the performance gain is worth the price of the watercooling setup.Watercooling offers minimal gains these days though. Air coolers have gotten so good.

Let's face it. Your rig is already outdated. Intel will release new chips coming 2012. Tbh, I don't need Xeon chips but, I'm sure looking forward to an 8 core i7.Well duh.. but the 2600k has remained the "king" of the mountain for longer than nearly any other chip :p. Technically the 990x is faster, but it's 3x's the price for very little gains.

but if I overclock then I would be a wee bit faster right? if I know how :lol: No, because I can overclock better than you can. :p

You should fix that fan ASAP. It may not fail now but with electronics you never know when your system starts getting unstable because one components fails due to excess heat build up.

Here's a copy paste.


The penalty for driving without insurance varies from state to state. If you are uninsured and you indicate a high “Intent to Drive” as an uninsured motorists, your vehicle tag can be seized and your car impounded. In addition, some states impose heavy fines for those who drive without auto insurance or continue to drive even if they are unable to keep their car insurance. Limited states fine a fee of $150 to $500 for driving without insurance.

?? Not sure how it works there, but here you have insurance on your car, which is tied specifically to you....Usually to drive a car, you have to have to be insured....The insurance covers the vehicle as well as any potential damages, such as injuries to the other party and that (usually yourself is extra if i remember right) and in NYS for instance we have additional insurance which protects us in case of an accident with an uninsured motorist

basically all vehicles are not required to have insurance here...as well drivers.

but its common practice to insure our vehicles to be able to cover repair costs or in case of total wreck (replacement cost) of the said vehicle + 3rd party liability.

so most of the time if we get into an accident with our public utility vehicles here, we can't do anything... we just have to hope that our insurance company will cover all the damage. coz most public transport vehicle here are not covered by insurance

I knew some people, whos names i wont name, whos parents didnt put them on their policy, didnt get them their own insurance, but let them drive their cars and wreck them right and left...Without liscenses either

Half the people i knew when they got their permit at 16, which doesnt mean you can legally drive by yourself, their parents pretty much said "Not driving you anywhere anymore, you can drive yourself" and threw them on the road with pretty much no instruction or anything...

A lot of them proceeded to get into car accidents, or have severe panic attacks because they had no clue how to drive

ohhh of course we all get into an accident :lol: its just a question of minor or big collision.:lol:

that's freakin expensive JD :lol: I see why cars are so cheap in the US :lol:

Actually our insurance is cheap

Top Gear did a segment once where they had to try to find and buy a car and insure it as a 17 year old driver for 3000 pounds...

The insurance cost more than the car, Substantially more than the car.... (They got quotes of like 32k and 20k and things of that nature...The only way to REASONABLY achieve this goal and get an actual CAR and not a glorified ATV was to put it on their parents insurance, but they then stated thats technically not legal in the UK or something..)

Yeah, I don't live in Cali. My car insurance is $450.00 a year per car with full coverage. The same applies for young drivers here. It's a bit over 2k plus depending on the car.
He may have, but I have a real job so I'm not on here 24/7. :p

I believe NY is close to that rate as well, From my understanding you folks in NC have much lower Taxes/Insurance ETC

well yeah considering how much you guys are covered... :D

cars here are expensive... a Ford Expendition retails for $60,000 here. and insurance is probably $1,000/year only... but that covers the actual cost of the car and a few other extras for the passengers and drivers. that's it.

age doesn't matter here... its the cost of the item... and due to fraud they don't insure small items like camera gear.. and because of very weak consumer rights Insurance company tends to reimburse very small amounts on claims... that's why its important to have an Insurance agent friend hehe

I think Omar posted this earlier.Depends on what you are going to use it for. If you are going to use it for print, then no. The U2410 is a better option as it is a wide gamut display. If you are going to use it for video/gaming/Photography that is primarily going to be used on the internet, etc, then it may be a better option for you.

Stick to the UK version, The original, as aired on BBC proper version

the version on BBC america is ok, the American one on the History channel..They try, but they're also trying way too hard to BE the original and it fails...

+1, I did like the truck challenge though...

See the thing is that some of the challenges in the UK version would be REALLY interesting in the states because we have vastly different geographical challenges, I'd love to see a car vs plane race in the US provided it was fair and that...

They just finished season 1. In one episode they did do a car vs plane. Ferrari California vs Southwestern Airline from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. The plane would have won hands down if not for a 50 minute flight delay. :p
