P5QL/ENU mobo and a 2.6GHz quadcore is what I just bought... $300 for the pair.

I'm completely happy with it. Plenty of room to upgrade my RAM and GPU if I want someday. (I have a 256MB 7800GT right now and 4 gigs of 800MHz RAM)
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

What recomendations do you guys have concerning MoBo chipsets and matching equipment ... would say the medium to medium/high price range ... am considering just buying a new PCI express GPU, my current CPU and MoBo is 939 (roughly 4 years old)
i5, 4870 or 4890, not sure about mobo.
Definately not HD4 series. If you didn't notice, the whole line is being replaced by HD5 series atm.

If you know the dimensions and materials, you can calculate the absorption coefficient, room modes, flutter echoes, and so on. If you know that and some very detailed characteristics of the speaker(s) in question, you can calculate the exact 'sound' you'll get at any given spot in the room. Of course, it's far easier to just measure, but it is most definitely possible to calculate, too.
I'd consider that a waste of my time. Why do you care how it sounds like, so long as it sounds good to you?

To determine quality, are you listening to the sound or are you looking at the numbers?
I like hearing the music like the studio engineers did. It's a nice feeling knowing that you hear what they thought was the optimal way for the music to be heard.
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

Nokia Booklet 3G. Basically a 3G netbook. You can get it on a contract too so that you'll have an unlimited 3G dataplan.

C: 0 bytes free was the laughing point.

Freezer, it's not as if I've gone out and bought 4x small HDDs, I've just acumulated unwanted small ones over a course of time. The latest are the 200GB IDE and a 250GB Sata.

Also I've got more than in the picture. 3x80GB (More Pirated shit, and two others) 1x200GB IDE (Pirated Shit) 1x250GB Sata (Main HDD) and the Freecom is a portable USB.

Well, yeah.  But Swap file, temps, and OS drive could have been somewhere else.  So, 0 c:\ drive ain't a big deal.

Cleaned out my GTX295s and now temps are down 20°C. Before the GPUs were all pegged at 105°C and throttling. I could even up the clocks a little now

But actually getting all GPUs to run under windows is such a pain. Only monitor 1 and 2 are real, the rest are dummy plugs

I'm pretty sure I read it was $599 in the States, or $60 per month on a contract.

maybe in contract, but when buying seperately it is very very salty price. And with contract it probably is at least as expensive too.

In comparison you get 2 same spec'd Lenovo netbooks for that price.

If that's not clear, I'll type it out.

Just select the monitor you want to change resolution for, and select the resolution you want from the drop-down list. It won't change the resolution of the monitor not selected.

I'm not actually using 800x600, I just changed it for an example.

I'm about to buy some HDMI cables and I really don't know what features to look for, can anyone help me out?  I don't mind paying a bit more than standard to get better quality, but I don't want to pay $100 for monster cables.  And is Newegg the best place to buy them, or should I look somewhere else?

Monoprice.com  Just look for some 1.3 for your desired length.

I think I'm right in saying that more expensive cables don't make a difference for digital signal. They do for anologue, but not HDMI or DVI. I'd check before though, because I might be wrong.

I think the only difference is in sheilded/unsheilded.
