Still baffled by the need to hate middle-of-the-road music when there's enough offensive s**te in the world.

Check my build?
If you're going to be doing graphics work then why not waste less on stuff like CPU and get yourself a decent monitor instead.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
It's really not the same after you've stopped. I'd say you'd manage two weeks at best. Fifteen year olds trying to be hardcore just have a new outlet. What else is new? It's better to just deal w/ this kinda s***, man.

Consumerism thread
Wonderful idea. -- -- -- -- I've been a happy owner of Audio-Technica's ATH-AD700 headphones for the past six months. They are, in my opinion, the headphones with the best price/performance ratio sub-£200. There are quite a few "inbetween" models from £100-£200, but in terms of precision and comfort without needing external amplification, you can't do a lot better than these. -- First Impressions -- I had to wait about three weeks for these to arrive. My old Sennheiser HD205 headphones were quite literally falling apart, and there was some problem with the order of my new cans. I was fairly worried that I would be without headphones for a while and would have to resort to my old Logitech 2.0 computer speakers. However, I got my order sorted out and they eventually came before the second-promised timeframe. The first thing I noticed was how nice the packaging and presentation was. The box is white and the headphones are nicely set in the middle. For some reason, and I don't know if it was my box or if they are generally like this, it had a lot of Japanese text on it, to the point where it took precedent over the English. I thought that was a nice novelty. Upon opening them and trying them on, they were a lot bigger than I thought. They were also a lot more comfortable than I could have ever imagined as well. So, first impressions were very strong. Believe it or not, it gets better... -- More In-Depth -- Logically, the next step was to test out a few choice tunes. I picked some well-produced pop-rock, some black metal and some minimal techno. What immediately became apparent is the stark difference between "basic" audio equipment and "real" audio equipment. Basic stuff does the job just fine, but you're only really getting half, no, a quarter of the experience. With these, it feels like I'm getting the full experience. Drums are sharp and clear, airy, sparkly trebles, full mids and light but not insignificant bass were what met my ears as I played through these tracks. Everything is handled evenly and beautifully, with no breaks in clarity and smoothness when dynamics change. I noticed that even compared to my old headphones which had a rather high max volume, these were significantly louder at the same level. I wasn't especially surprised considering they have good resistance, but that fact remains. They are open-back, however, so the loudness doesn't ever feel oppressive. I would still advise quiet listening with these, seeing as the open nature does cause them to leak a great deal of sound. I would best describe the overall sound of these headphones as "hearing an actual recording played live in your room". They have that open-air feel without any expense in quality. Style-wise they're quite good. Satin gold and purple might not appeal to some and neither will the wing system, but it is all done to save weight and promote a natural listening experience. The AD700s deliver this perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to take a step into the world of hi-fi. A definite 5/5. Well, I hope I helped someone choose their next pair of headphones!

[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!
You could just get a 3 GHz dual core, and you can run TF2 fine. If you do some serious modding, you could probably get this game to run on an Intel "graphics" chipset. I've done it, and it runs at like 20FPS in most areas on my laptop. Yeah, but the game looks like Quake 3. Not a bad thing. My TF2 hitsound was the one from Quake 3 as well. Also soldier is the greatest.

Hi-Fi
It is really inconvenient. To really get the most out of it, you need a system that's completely analog. Digital reproduction of vinyl (and that includes these insane 24-bit 96kHz FLAC rips you see on the internet) isn't especially great and well, it loses a lot of the authenticity. At least, I think so. I have to say though, vinyl is worth buying just for the sleeves alone. A lot of cover art looks really, really good on 12"x12".

Hi-Fi
Bose stuff is kinda overpriced but it works. Good buy on the Audio-Technicas. Even their low-end stuff is incredible quality, but you'd want to look elsewhere for oontz oontz pounding bass. It's not really a part of the AT sound - Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser cans handle that better. I wouldn't especially recommend any Sennheiser headphones apart from the HD650 which are pretty much the best for price/performance under £300, although you'd need an amplifier for them. ATs are fine for 99% of music though, a good catch-all solution.
