  1. I SMELL WAT?

    U SMELL MEANIE

  2. Some places carry the Panaflo's with bare wire ends. This is because they are server fans. If you buy the Rexus rebranded Panaflos on Newegg of just the panaflos from a place like Performance-Pcs, then you'll get them tailed in a 3 pin connector. I'd recommend using a separate fan controller or running them off molex power because sometimes motherboards can't handle the power load from fans like these and will blow out. The rest of the motherboard will be fine, the fan header just won't work. I don't know what the lack of mounting system is you are talking about, you just screw them in if you want to use them as case fans, but I was recommending it as a Heatsink Fan to strap to the side of the Megahalems with the fan clips that come with the Megahalems.
  3. I would build your own mostly because if you order from something like Dell they will likely give you the basic proprietary motherboard leaving no room for overclocking. Here's a few changes I would make to the build though. I'd pick up the Samsung Spinpoint F3 drive instead. It's newer and faster than the Caviar Black. There's a reason it doesn't stay in stock longer than a couple days at Newegg. I'd drop Nvidia for ATI. Something like the 5850 for $30 more. This way you get DX11 support for the future and crossfire scaling with 5850s is pretty good. If you want to overclock you'll need a CPU Cooler. Newegg just started carrying the Prolimatech Megahalems. Grab that and a Panaflo 120x38 at around 80+ cfm and you can get your i7 to 4.0Ghz. I'd buy the i7 at Microcenter if you can, that way you can pick out the batch, are guaranteed a D0 Stepping, and you save $80. You have to have one near you though. I wouldn't bother with a sound card until you have decent speakers or headphones. Most motherboards come with on-board sound which should suffice until you start throwing hundreds of dollars at sound. The Motherboard you chose has zero expandability. If you start running Crossfire or SLI, you have zero expansion slots to work with. I'd go with a Foxconn Bloodrage GTI or Bloodrage if the budget allowed. The RAM you chose although has good reviews has been out forever. The CL is pretty high. I'd try to shoot for some CL7 RAM. I'm not even going to comment on that pre-built. They waste time with SLIi GTS240s, wasted money in a dedicated NIC, very slow RAM, and probably a no-name power supply brand with low 12V amps.
  4. Most Grados actually come with a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter. And even if they don't you can buy one for less than $10.

  6. For IEMs I'd look into: Soundmagic PL30 Sennheiser CX300 Head-Direct RE2 Nu-Force NE-6 (These would be my choice, I ran and went to the gym with these for around 2 years before I upgraded). For full-sized headphones I'd look into: Grado SR60i or SR80i - These are pretty much made for rock, I'm just mentioning them because at the price point they are pretty good. They have a little more bass and mids than the MS1s and present the music in a front-row kind of way. Hard to explain, I like them but not for rap music. They sound phenomenal with rock/metal and things of that nature. I personally love the Grado Sound signature. They are open headphones so other people can hear what you are listening to. Alessandro MS1 - It's pretty close to the Grado sound signature, but a little brighter. It does better with other types of music like Jazz and classical and not just rock like most Grados. They are open headphones so people will hear what you are listening to. Sennheiser HD555 - These are fairly neutral, the bass is there but it's pretty far behind the mids. These are also open headphones. Denon 1001k - Closed headphones will generally give you more bass and keep your music to yourself. These are probably my favorite closed headphone in the sub-$100 price range. Audio Technica A700 - Closed and in the price range ballpark. Pretty decent soundstage, a lot of people like them. Sony MDR-V6 - These are pretty popular studio headphones, they are closed. These do well with most things, they don't have a very large soundstage though so classical music sounds off. That should get you started. I'd read reviews and impressions from other people on Head-fi, Amazon and the like.
  7. Don't buy Skullcandy. They bloat the bass in everything. I'm assuming you don't have a portable amplifier. And I'm guessing you are using a lossy format with your music. Do you want Earbuds or IEMS? Here's a quick link to tell you the difference. Or are you looking for full-size headphones? What is your budget? I can think of things from less than $20 like the JVC Marshmellows with the Kramer Mod to $1300 with custom JH13s. Do you have a musical preference?
  8. What do you mean regular computer connectors? I'm guessing it is one TRS connector that you just plug into the back of your PC. If you have a little bit of soldering skill you could just solder the wires into the connectors and plug the speakers in. Just hope that your computer outputs enough power for the speakers to get decent volume. The tip is Left, the ring is right, and the sleeve is a shared ground most of the time. 3.5mm Stereo Male TRS Connectors Mouser (US) or RS Components (UK)
  9. you probably too quest noob to get into my box anyways.
  10. I cut a lot of vines and stuff. Thanks to Kota for coming he's my BFF. *** [ TRACKER ]: [woodcutting] exp gains for Foooman in last 1day: 527,352 (98->99) | 1wk: 2,769,067 (96->99) | 4wks: 7,346,595 (90->99)
