@ Irish - Where are you downloading your FLAC from? Also, even if your set of speakers, V0 -> FLAC there is little noticeable difference.

Agree. .. other than the video I posted, I didn't see a lot of interesting stuff. Samsung had a TV that could stream video to the remote. For what? I'm not sure. They also had a TV that responded to hand gestures, instead of using a remote. I think that's been around for a bit too. There was also a Skype TV. It had a built in HD camera in it.

They said watching sports in 3d is pretty pimp though. I just cant see hanging out with my buddy, watching a football game, and wearing 3d glasses .

cnet had good coverage of the event.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Everything up and running. Stock cooler for testing purposes, wanted to see it all works + need some glue to refit insulation rubber to the Xigmatek backplate.

The Lotes socket's locking metal plate required surprisingly a lot force, which is bit scary when we are talking about mobo this expensive.... but yeah worked out great.

ok Panzer - why couldn't we get a proper build log? is it because you do so many, that you just drop them into "Open Thread?"

Yeah too many. CBA to spam own threads, just throw them somewhere.

Maybe make a proper log when I finish the build off with case and graphics cards.

OK, i have 1920 x 1080 resolution, and I want it to stay like that. But when I load up Google Chrome every time it is really far zoomed out that text isn't easy to see. How do i make it zoomed in as default? ATM i have to use CTRL zoom every time i open a new tab.

Enermax PSUs are easily recommendable even though they cost more than the competition. Does your PSU also run several seconds after you turn off the PC and fans cool the PC off?

An i5, i7, 965, an x3, and a couple Athlons. A WHS with about 4TB of storage that I haven't had the time to properly configure file and pc backups.

Once you have kids, personal time is but a dream...

You asked me that and I'm not sure if I answered, mine doesn't do this.

Yes it does.

Mine also has 2x 8pin CPU power cables which is good as the Classified is one of the few boards to have the secondary 8pin plug.

e: @reaper the PSU fan does run for a while.
