I am beginning to believe that Max robs banks for a living.
Is that how Mushkin packages their ram?

I just got a PCMCIA WLAN card for mom's laptop and a PCI WLAN card for my shitty secondary computer, so I can FINALLY move that loud, folding piece of shit out of my room.

NO MORE SCREAMING!

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

He works in Law if I remember right, so basically yes, given what they usually charge he basically does rob banks

And that Mushkin box looks sweet, I want one lol.

Don't suppose you have a spare PSU knocking about for my mate do you Max?

Yup, I have a couple of them. I always buy mushkin ram. Fast, reliable, cheap

I also put my secondary PCs as far away from me as possible

That's right

I never get to keep those mushkin boxes because my mom needs them for needles and shit

The only PSU I'm not using is an ancient 400W enermax one. That one is going into a new build for my mom. It's time for her to finally get a dual core. Puts my X2 4800+ to some good use

For me, "spare cash" means that I can allow myself, perhaps a RAM upgrade.

For Max, "spare cash" means a new high-end system

Okay, but for each 295 he buys, he has to buy me a 260 (c216), and for each i7, an E8400.

Sup, you know what a MID is right? Mobile Internet Device. That pretty much explains it all right there.

If you follow JKK Mobile's blog site, he always has netbooks and MIDs up for review and news on them. He has one that is a Migo (iirc) that people have hacked XP drivers for and the company is also releasing it with XP, too.

Think of them somewhere between a netbook and a smartphone (or maybe as a very underpowered UMPC), and you have a MID. The iPod Touch could also be considered a MID, only that it also doubles as a PMP.

Never heard of MID before tbh. Is it a touch screen device? It seems smaller than ULPC but other than that I don't see other differences, visual at least.

Samsung F1 1TB was on bargain so switched the 640GB to 1TB. Another UV light and Noctua fan as well.

When I get em depends a lot on how long it will take to get the Enermax PSU

Once its together, A guy I know may buy my comps guts in a couple weeks, so that leaves me large upgrade room on my mobo, cpu, and ram, so I'll prob wait till then to decide just how to have it installed. Gonna mod my TT Armor at the time too (nothing tech and lame, just cutting cable holes, a couple fan holes, and possibly painting the inside black), fingers crossed it turns out sweet and not shit.

I've got those, they're fucking awesome. My housemate has the superior HD555's, but tbh I can barely tell the difference with the two.

I can't think of any MID that I have seen that isn't touchscreen, tbh. I think the majority are all resistive rather than capacitive, though.
