Re: Choosing best 120mm fan...HELP!

The Noctua fans rule, they move a ton of air and are really very quiet.
A little expensive, though.

Re: TR MOB ][ - No More XL Wire Hangers!

I had mixed results last time, but I'm in for another round.
I've gotten a bit more muscle, thanks to riding my bike or walking 4 miles everyday (2 miles to and from school).
But my belly has ballooned. I'd like to get rid of that sucker.

Re: complete dvd driver?

While this is a tall order, I think having a DVD RW with the newest chipset drivers (AMD and intel) and video card drivers (ATi and Nvidia) might be useful.

Since you're planning to OC let me vote for the ASUS P5Q P45 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131295 . I recently got it and it OC's very well and has more settings than you will know what to do with in the bios :lol: Seconded. This is like the perfect board for me.

I thought that you couldn't install the OS updates without hosing the system? On InsanelyMac they say not to install the latest 10.5.3. I would love to install it but don't want to have to do a complete reinstall because it messed up. You usually can't, but as long as certain files are left alone o...

If they sent via PAypal, they would dispute the charges, say they never received the item most likely.

There are still odd bugs every now and then on my Hackint0sh, notably with the SMBIOS hacks. Everytime there is an OS update, you run the risk of making your install non-workable, at least until someone hacks the update.
