Boardwalk Empire
Obviously it gets compared to sopranos, but really shouldn't. I think buscemi fits the role perfectly, i admit that it was a bit hard to grasp in the beginning.

Boardwalk Empire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emerald_City_%28Boardwalk_Empire%29 I've seen the episode but i can't recap, i'm still coming to grip with the series. I think it will be like the Sopranos when it's done, you need to watch the series a couple of times to get a hold of everything. Anyways, this serie only get better and better. I really really like it, i'd recommend anyone to watch - and give it a couple of episodes, because it grows.

Im buying a new PC
@guy I've avoided listing those cyberpower, ibuypower etc brands since i've heard a few complaints here and there about them. I would choose quad, they aren't that much more expensive than a decent dual. Integrated the graphics may be on my listed computer, but they are good enough for what he wants. - @wilch: For your need you don't need to spend extra money on a cpu which in your case wouldn't make any different since you don't need high game performance, rendering or whatever. AMD cpu are always good when your on a low-mid budget.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883147367 Pretty good value for your money. Edit: Or yes, get a list of components and check what your local store would charge.

Migration Issues
Yes. Yes +1 Adding much to the discussion with +1. Would you like to elaborate further on why you feel this way or is a +1 sufficient? This is a really dull topic, I have passionately argued for both sides in the past so I know all the potential arguments. However the +1 had no significance, just me adding my yes to Skepticals. I guess you want my stance on why im against open boarders though? To answer that its because im libertarian, I dont believe in a state (See sovereign state) If you want me to elaborate further on this, I believe I already have a topic devoted to this ~ though i can post here if you dont wanna go to that topic Alright, i just wanted to know.

2011/12 Football Season
Lol, Elmander being top scorer. Maybe Wenger needs to threat with the old french favourite guillotine in future match talks. Sunderland away on monday, very difficult. I'm not surprised if 'we' loose, but a point would be good.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Knock the [cabbage] out of the admins then. On topic, being bored and not finding any interesting movies to watch.

Migration Issues
Guess it will end up an American discussion, but anyways... I support work immigration in jobs which lack workforce. I don't like the lax immigration caps and requirements as some European countries have.

Computer Upgrade
DDR2 yes, and as long as your motherboard supports the speed and the amount you add. If you add a faster memory than your current one, your current one will dictate the speed. And same at the other and of course, If you add a slower memory stick than your current one, it will dictate the speed. Upgrade how? You mean installing a new os? You can always uninstall from fail safe mode if problems occur.

Body Modification?
Hm, a few tattoos can be pretty nice i think. I want to get myself a couple in the future, but they are bloody expensive. I can't say i like piercings except for in the ear. I don't really think, as some have, a [cabbage]load of tattoos on their whole body is good looking. I also don't think that people with tattoos on their forearms for example should feel "discriminated" if they don't get a job, say in retail sales. Bit of negativity from someone who's for it!

Check my build?
Didn't find a single review about the psu in the first few pages or searching, so i can't say what quality it holds. Also, if you wish to know, it's about 570w. Personally i'd choose another brand and a product with longer warranty. What games are you planning on with a 5450? Runescape and older games i guess. Don't understand the need for a sound card... Oh well.
-
Check my build?
Rosewill is Newegg.com's house brand. They are actually pretty good... But yeah I wouldn't get a 900W either for this build. I have a 750W in my build and it is completely adequate. Hm i see. But does Rosewill or Newegg actually produce their own power supplies at a factory or do they contract someone? That's what i meant, most contract builds are done by Seasonic and CWT. As i don't have that Rosewill brand here in Europe, i don't know anything about it (and i almost only read European IT-news sites) which is why i'm wondering, so i know what sort of quality it is.
-
Check my build?
1-Who are the parent company to rosewill power supply's? Furthermore it's 900w and such high numbers wouldn't be needed for your build. 2-Of course, do a bit of research instead of maybe just picking the most reviewed or well known. 3-If you're not gonna do "serious" gaming, pick a cheaper card. 4-For a sound card to make any different you need at least 100+$ +good speakers. 5-First google answer: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/thread/fae7b2ab-c530-45e6-aeb3-cc55cf7b9231 6-You can choose cheaper parts. 7-MSE is fine.

A couple of notes: Hd - I don't know if you wanted a 750 or 1tb, so i just picked a standard. Cpu - Can change to quad if you want. Gpu: This took a bit of time actually, can't say 3 monitors is something i've had to taken into consideration often. This card is a gaming card, but the cheapest to your request as it does support 3 monitors right from it's outputs. You could buy 2 lower end cards to utilize 3 outputs, but would then need two pci-e lanes on the mobo, so i imagine that in the end it would still end up about the same price as the lone graphics card. You'll have search your self for dvi and hdmi combinations, don't have time to do that, and see if it gets any cheaper. Psu is taken due to my gpu.
