    Riddick (2013)

    Pitch Black was excellent. The second one was pretty stupid. That picture doesn't give me much hope it will more like the first.

    E-reader or tablet

    Not sure how it works with a Nook but for Kindle withCalibreit's just drag & drop. It will automagically convert anything you throw at it to mobi and one click upload to your device. I have the kindle 4, cheapest model on the market, but also the smallest / lightest. I think it's moronic to...

    So those 600$ should be cpu+mb+ram+hdd+psu+case (no vga) ? Here's a quick build from newegg edit : rereading your post, if those 600$ should include a 660 ti or equivalent, then drop the SSD, grab an i3-3220 and increase your budget another 50-75$.

    We're kinda getting offtopic here but here's anotherchartwith a 10C difference between 2 compounds. The internet is full of charts with any result you might want. You made me curious enough to read about the paste that comes with the evo 212 and indeed it's pretty great and doesn't warrant...

    Not sure what the 212 evo comes with, but I once won a bet proving to a friend that there will be at least a 10C difference between AS5 and some shit you could buy at the local store for ~1$. I had like 5 thermal compounds at one point during my hardware tweaking phase, now I just buy a new tube...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I'd buy 10 ASIC's right now if I'd get them in a week or two. With the backorders & shit, if you order one now you'll be lucky to get it in a few months and who knows what will happen until then. With an overclocked 7970 you can get around 600-650 Mhash/sec, or about 2 bitcoins / month. The...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The last time it was 30$, it dropped to ~16-18 when the bubble did burst and it went down to 2$ after the mtgox hack when for a week or so no one could trade. I had almost 3 Ghash running about 2 years ago, sold everything when it dropped under 5$ ... if only I knew it was gonna go like this.

    Banshee

    God fucking damn it, I hate that shit. I felt that some things didn't connect from one episode to the next, but I didn't think to check after the god damn credits. Anyway, I love the show. It's like a modern day spartacus, violence and titties.

    Smartphones

    Why not just setup a hard limit for your 3g traffic ? I know android has this option integrated in jelly bean and there's a thousand apps on the market that do the same thing. Guess it's the same for iOS. Around here they just throttle your speed to 128/64 kbps when you go over, there's no...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    But it's a decentralized system, no one can invade you and take your bitcoins or shutdown the network in any way (think TOR). Guess they could blow a few hundred million $ to rape the price but it's no guarantee that it won't get back up.

    Windows 8

    I just installed it on my desktop computer and I'm having really slow speeds when connecting with RDP from my W7 laptop at work to my W8 at home. It's not an internet problem, I have ~50 mbps between them with ~5 ms ping.

    What Silence said about the case and I'd get a better cpu cooler to able to take advantage of that 3570k.

    Desktop Computers

    Not sure what to change, but you really want an i5-3570k with that video card. Also, I'd go with a Samsung SSD, 830 if you can find some in stock, 840 if not.

    No it's not, specially if you're US based and have access to SquareTrade Warranty and whatever the one from Amazon is called. Yeah, it can have dead pixels / arrive defective , but you can RMA it just like any other device. I got mine 7-8 months ago directly from ebay for 315$ shipped to...

    Yern delivered with a lucky combine. They're in the bank now. Also, I guess I should have wikied what the green imp costume does, wasted a slot dragging it back and now I see we already have 2 more.

    Headphones/Headsets

    But those 600ohm beyers require at least another 200-300$ for an amp to drive them. I had the chance to listen to all of them (250ohm version) and I didn't notice any sound quality difference but I'm no audiophile. I picked the 990 pro because they were the biggest (got a big head) and weren't...

    This is my result with a 6950 modded to 6970 @ 840/1325. Did you change the quality to extra or something ? I just ran it with the default settings.

    EVE Online

    Before I quit the plan was to get into WH and that's why I started training cruiser skills for all races (thinking t3) and trying to improve my shield tanking skills and gunnery. I'm not a big fan of battleships or bigger (to slow) so I think I'm gonna improve my bc/hac/command ship skills...

    Maybe for the kickass display (2560x1700) ? You don't have many choices if you're looking for a high dpi laptop. There's the macbook pro and this new chromebook. I don't think there's any other notebook with over 1920x1080 resolution.

    Thumbs up for the PCP&C. I have a 750W quad silencer edition that just won't die. I ran 3 x o/ced 6970 (full load 24/7 for bitcoin mining) on it for 6 months without a problem when a 800W Silverstone went poof in a few weeks with the same load.

    Marvell SATA Chipsets

    Unfortunately I have to use the one on mine because I had the first generation p68 chipset with the intel s-ata 2 bug. So I had to move my hdd raid to intel s-ata 3 and my ssd to the marvel so I don't lose all my shit from the raid. It's slower, but it's not that much slower, in day to day usage...

    Short answer, no. Grab the 2500k. For the motherboard I really like the features/performance/price of the Asrock Z77 extreme.

    Both have pretty big negatives and I wouldn't go down that road unless I already have the best card on the market and still need more performance.
