  1. Until the 975's and such hit the market, i7 prices aren't going to change. If you can wait a few months, then you should and go for i7 when the market changes.
  2. You can get Q6600's for far less than $199, i'd never pay that much for one nor recommend anyone get that chip for that price. At that price point I'd go for an i7 920 or at least a yorkfield class 45nm quad. i7 920 is $229 here: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0300438 Here's an MSI i7 board for $169 AR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130221 Otherwise, you can go LGA775 but it's nearly EOL: $85 mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128389 Q8300 for $190: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115207 or Q9400 for $230: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115131 DDR2 Ram is super cheap so stock it with as much as you can, DDR3 is a bit more expensive for the i7 but in the long run the i7 is the way to go. You can also get some deals if you look at computer forum classifieds. Here is a real cheap mobo that will run a quad core: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500018 I own one and it's a decent board, but it's not the top performer and it has very limited upgradeability. At $35 AR though, it's very hard to beat it's performance/value ratio. You can also opt for a dual core processor over the quad, such as this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115056 There are also MUCH cheaper options for mobo and etc, but there is no point in recommending you buy junk.
  3. +1, a nickel over and set the cruise.
  4. Who can I send payment to get a couple of stickers mailed to me?
  5. I don't drive my car ever, ask anyone that knows me. ~13k miles since new in 2002 so you'd be hard pressed to find a cleaner and easy to disassemble car than mine. It is currently garaged for the winter since I have a company van to drive as my primary vehicle. If Ant's car doesn't pan out, let me know via PM and I can get you my phone number or whatever.
  6. It happens here too Tony, BTW welcome.
  7. Stern is ok, but I only listen because it came free in the work van.
  8. You have enough boost, PICK ME PICK ME.
  9. you can buy running ones for ~$500, ask my brother.
  10. Yep, take pictures and loads of them. Paypal is a joke, google checkout is better.
  11. Shhhhhhhh, they'll hold this against you.
  12. I know it's a repeat, but still post worthy: http://www.break.com/index/wii-fit-is-the-greatest-game-ever.html
  13. Put it on blocks like it needs to be, it is a TURD gen after all.
  14. Does that include ugly women, gasoline and matches?
  15. that thing will never move
  16. I never said it wasn't FAP material, geez.....
  17. No, go read again and then try again. Your FAIL has now been revealed. I didn't know ant weighed his w/o driver.
  18. mine was 3520 with me in it, I go 250#
