    Being evil is easy. Being good is really really hard.

    Before crunching how big was your electric bill? How much is it now?

    I have no idea, because I don't have to pay the electricity bill.

    Is WCG just as good of a stabillity test as prime 95?

    I test my oc with linx and a couple other multi-thread benches I like. Then I crunch.

    Best producing machine you're currently running? PPD WCG?

    answer: uhhh................. PRIME FTW! (not too sure, its what i use)

    Question: What's scarier than 90 mins ago when I found myself drooling dark red blood at an alarming rate 4 days after surgery, described as "life-threatening" at slow rates?

    haha don't worry, even I'm not dedicated enough to talk about hardware when I'm at high risk of dying. All better now.

    EDIT: Thanks for caring!

    well obviously I'm gonna have to go with simulating the bananas while surfing, as the first guy is doing.

    How long have you been "into" overclocking?

    Ever since I ordered a wrong video card and built my own back in 1998 most of the part came from Essential Computers.

    Do you think overclocking laptops is a good idea?

    Laptop. I do too many things at once for a netbook to cope, I would send it flying against the nearest wall within an hour.

    I see your point about the Phenom II. I'm just short in time at the moment and I don't want to spend too much time overclocking, I'm familiar with Wolfdales and Penryns though. There has also been some talk of a fellow member possibly having an X3360 for sale.

    I'm highly uneducated when it comes to the newest AMD hardware, what types of 24/7 clocks are we looking at with a Phenom II 940?

    I saw some guys with Foxconn A79A-S and that Foxconn enthusiast board hitting 4GHz with a lowly Scythe Infinity.

    When should I replace my now 25-month-old RAZR V3m?

    next time you have access to a hydraulic compressor. But seriously, I never thought cell phone models mattered much

    Where's the link for Kingpin's GTX295 benching?

    No heatsink on anything, only 1 fan in the entire system on the PSU.

    iPod Nano Gen4 16GB or iPod Touch Gen2 8GB?

    Neither, because Apple are the devil. I'd personally look at some other brands (Samsung, Sony, iRiver, Creative Zen, etc), which usually offer better value/quality/sound/storage than equivalent Apple products simply because they don't have that damn Apple logo. Plus you don't need to use iTunes, which I find to be one of the worst media players in the history of mankind.

    Think I'll be able to fit an mATX i7 board, i920, MCR220, 2x HD4870 1GB's, a Xonar DX, 2 HDDs and a DVD drive into a Lian Li PC-V350?
