    I'm not saying that the Ia's aren't nice, but with a 600 dollar budget I am sure that he can do better. active, if op was willing to learn

    registered for the physics gre in november. 150 buck also need to take the general gre. not sure when i'll want to take it. I was planning on taking it before classes started this semester but the whole broken collar bone thing really shut down my will to study. maybe end of November after thanksgiving, should have plenty of time to cram over break.

    You can always bother me. That's why I am here or near here, nearly round the clock. But yes, it does not come with glue, you can get CA Glue or a 5-min epoxy. Thanks! Another question, is the cardboard tube used as a shim to properly space the coil in the gap? The one in the packaging? If so, I would suggest making one. alright sounds good. When i built my MJ 18 is came with a milled piece of pvc that was used as a shim. so i wasn't sure.

    Think i found the problem. looks like something hit the cone, perhaps someone's hand or an object in the trunk. I dont think i did it while tearing the sub down. Noticed no rubbing before or after the sub died.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I know this cool guy named Matt2 who is doing it.... One of those things I've always wanted and I assume it will make the laptop faster and more fun to use. Windows will be much much faster on boot up and some apps will really love it. I was more asking if you had some 2tb platter or something already lol. I figured it was for SSD but I didn't want to assume. The one thing I know is that the room mates machine was definately bound by HDD for games and it is now quick on his machine since he moved to SSD. I cannot wait to see how fast it will be striped I also know when I sleep he will be molestering my system. He may be more excited to build this rig than I am to have it be mine. I didn't go balls to the walls on processor or mobo but I think it will still be nice. I also hope the 660s in SLI will out perform a single similar priced 680. Having 3GB of memory/card will probably be the winner for 3 screens over 4GB on one card. And I dont think the 4gb 680 is as cheep as 2 660's. If the i5 is the limiting factor I will just OC the fuck out of it. I could go through 4-5 sets of MOBO and i5s for the cost of an i7..... especially if I would have gone with the 2011 socket. Hyperthreaded 6 core so 12 logic cores would be cool..... but it would not have real PCI express 3 and almost no real games or apps care about that many logic cores..... Aaron would like it on the boinc team but dats about it. And the next gen processors and MoBO will probably catch up with PCI express3. Even with ivy bridge it is a questionable work in process. I haven't followed the new cards too closely but if the 680 is roughly the same price as two 660's why not get the 680 and add a second down the road?

    that'll run things nicely. liquid cooling is really sweet! jealous how cheap ssd's are now. i have two 80gig intel's in raid 0. plenty of room for any game that actually would benefit from faster load times. i need to reconfigure my storage drives, currently i have a pair of 1tb in raid 1. I'm planning to get a external hdd and back everything up.

    yep, just compare $ per ft with other CCA wire. last time i looked it was the cheapest. http://www.wireandsupply.com/category_s/57.htm

    That's what i've heard as well and its the reason i didn't pay full price at launch. Even if i play 5-10 hours then that't still a great ratio of enjoyment vs money spent.

    Opinions on gear wanted

    14 or 16 gauge speaker wire from monoprice is a good deal. i also like their 'premium' RCA's for the money. i've used kicker, stinger, and plain welding cable for power wire. i would recommend the welding cable if you need quite a bit of it (between power run and big three). kicker and stinger cable looks better but you could always techflex the welding cable.

    10 gauge speaker wire, are you out of your fucking mind?

    surround repair...classic screwdriver slip

    running the sub free air is potentially dangerous because the air in the box acts to dampen the excursion of cone. generally speaking, on the same amount of power, a speaker in an enclosure will oscillate with a lower amplitude than when played free-air. with a tear in the surround i would just make sure the repair looks acquitted. nothing you can do but recone it if the repair fails further.
