lol, Snips... that's a great name for a cat even if you're not MK... but for MK it's friggin' perfect!!

We've got two cats. The first one is Moose (named after a pair of pj pants I own... long story involving a large amount of jealosy from my wife. Basically she wanted to steal them from me) and the second one is Jib (named after the front sail of a sailboat since the wife and I have gotten into sailing a bit lately). I've always been a big fan of naming pets after some particular aspect of your life.

I love the jumpers with the long tails. So much nicer to deal with in a cramped build.

I used to not have those, so what I did is bend a staple to a U-shape, stuck it in the rear end of the jumper and put some tape around it. Voila, tail!

Yum Yum, updates!

Those 4770's look damn nice. XFX make the best looking ATi cards, easily. Can't wait for their 5 series ones.

Oh, and i know i've said it before, but i was using the snips today and, well... Thanks again for introducing me to tin snips, MK :)

Thanks Drew, glad you stopped by..

I am in the middle of building a couple of mods for the neighbor kids, should be done by tues. I wasted about 2 weeks waiting for the Red CF so hopefully the new stuff will be here this week.
(hoping third place is the charm)

I am pretty psyched to see how the 4770s are and when my Hdd gets here I will throw the parts into a tower and have a bit of fun.

How did I miss this? I've seen pics of the holographic CF, but it's supposed to be truly amazing in person. I can't wait to see it in your hands Mark...

sorry for the delay, I have been doing a couple of comps for the neighbor kids and I am getting REALLY pissed at these CF companies (still hasent arrived).

Normally I get it from TapPlastics and it shows up the next day (but they dont have colors)I am on the 3rd company trying to get this red stuff so I am quite frustrated.

Glad ur back Tzi:toast:

The last day I have all the hardware in a junk case and have been programming it. I switched to Vista 64 as I was having probs with Netflix and Win7 (build 7100). I also have both of the 4770 cards in it, so I am seeing if I can tell any dif between all the GPUs I have tried so far.
