Fly to Miami and we'll go to the beach!

Sometimes, but I don't.

English or Spanish?

Anywho on topic the rad might have to be external but the rest sould squeeze in. (pictures and thread required!)

I don't have enough clearance for any GPUs longer than about 9.6" (ie can't over-hand the motherboard). And only some of the HD4870's will fit (ones by Palit and Gainward that have power connectors on the top). But yes, thread with tonnes of pictures will be made when I actually do it. Still not sure if I'll be able to fit the 2nd HD4870 1Gb due to clearance and cooling, though.

English, unless it's a hot chick, in which case Spanish (or an accent) is perfectly acceptable

Ever felt like punching someone in the face even when they haven't really done anything?

Seven..

Best way to make the person who brought you into this world happy:
box of chocolates or spending 3 hours downloading then reencoding files to dvd and watching her face sitting watching Marley and me!

**karl_eller** · 01-17-2009, 06:44 PM

2nd option. Chocolate is chocolate, but old TV shows can bring back lots of good memories.

Mmm minty-fresh Windows install. How often do you re-install the OS on your main rig?

Eller

**Angmaar** · 01-17-2009, 08:24 PM

Only when I get new hardware.

Can you run something like Seti@home or GPUGrid on CUDA withought stopping WCG? If so how do you?

With the GPU client and Vista.

Do you run Dimes and why not if so?

**eligray** · 01-17-2009, 09:59 PM

I don't run dimes, and you should rethink the end of that sentence

What monitor you staring into right now?

No, cause I run 100% WCG.

Just scream!

**Bobsama** · 01-17-2009, 10:08 PM

What monitor you staring into right now?

Acer X193W+

Ever feel like you just wanted to scream.......no apparently clearly understood reason?

Just scream!

Nope. Real men don't scream.

Will I be able to get my RAM upgrade Monday or Tuesday? Mind you, it's only a few miles away but it's going to have to go through the school's mail system.

**Martijn** · 01-18-2009, 05:49 AM

It'll get through pretty fast I think, but if it's only a few miles away, why don't you pick it up?

How many PMs do you have in your inbox right now?

**inCore** · 01-18-2009, 06:00 AM

A measly 77.

I want a comparison, how many does the next person have?

**Martijn** · 01-18-2009, 06:02 AM

745 and apparently that isn't a lot

Who'll beat me? Dave?

**phicks** · 01-18-2009, 08:55 AM

I have more.

Snow or rain this morning? I only got some rain.

**[XC] mysticmerlin** · 01-18-2009, 11:40 AM

More Damn Snow

Are you inked or stuck?

**Bobsama** · 01-18-2009, 11:40 AM

Rain, but cold rain.

@ninja: Ah what? I don't have tats if that's what you mean.

Do you want to kill me for living in Miami? It's 74F today.

**[XC] mysticmerlin** · 01-18-2009, 11:43 AM

For the Temp yes but not all the daym people.

Ninja:

Would you like to kill your self if you lived in Ohio? It's 23F Today.

**Bobsama** · 01-18-2009, 12:02 PM

Nah. I'd enjoy it. My hometown is 25F right now. I may fly back in 1-2 weeks.

**karl_eller** · 01-18-2009, 03:21 PM

Is Bobsama a git for forgetting to ask a question?

Eller

**Angmaar** · 01-18-2009, 03:53 PM

Whats a git? (Answer)

Whats a git? (Question)

**inCore** · 01-19-2009, 01:10 AM

'Git' is usually used as an insult, more severe than twit but less severe than a true profanity like w****r or ar****le, and may often be used affectionately between friends. 'Get' can also be used, with a subtle change of meaning. 'You cheeky get!' is slightly less harsh than 'You cheeky git!'.

- Wiktionary

How wide is your bed?

**Bobsama** · 01-19-2009, 02:06 AM

Not wide enough--extra-long double.

After I get the OCZ SXS 500, should I buy a PCP&C Silencer 750 or Corsair 650TX?

**inCore** · 01-19-2009, 02:13 AM

I'd personally go for Corsair but either one will probably be fine. I'm a fan of Corsair PSUs and I don't have any experience with PCP&C but I know that they're good too. Go for the one with the better deal in the end.

How tall are you?

**Bobsama** · 01-19-2009, 02:22 AM

6'1".

The idea is to sell it on eBay after claiming the mail-in rebate.

And you? How tall are you?
