I personally have this http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131011 but $189 may be a bit high for a family machine If you have a wireless network in your home that would make the additional cost of this board well worth it! Also the future expandability is a major plus! BTW....Th...

Finally went and saw the movie yesterday, it was bad in more ways than one...not only was it historically inaccurate but it was also TOTALLY BADASS. Loved the film, went in expecting a romantized version of both Sparta and the battle and thats exactly what I got; very artsy style, loved it. The prie...

Just wanted to point out a couple of things: 1. The Abolitionists were as Pro-seceding as the South was. They knew that would mean that the South would no longer get their slaves back and make it economically untenable. All throughout the 1850s most wanted to break from the South. 2. The real issue...

True, but ironically enough, the greeks lost at thermopylae

Salvaging my AMD laptop

I've got a laptop that just crapped out on me. I'm pretty sure it's the mobo and I wanted to salvage everything out of it and move it to a barebones system. The processor is AMD Socket 754 and it takes two sticks of ram (2x512MB). I assume the hard drive and dvd drive are standard thoughout. Do any ...

I've never actually used any vinyl turntables, but they do make fairly nice ones now that can be had for cheap. they usaully hookup via MIDI or USB. Your best bet is probally to go down to a big music shop (such as SamAsh) and talk to them. They (usually) know what they're talking about as most of t...

Very true about the bias, something that must be remembered anytime you read anything. In any case, Persian history is very interesting as well (any Arabic history really). I also like Japanese History and funnily enough find American History very dull and boring. Just my opinion, and if I didn't st...

Holographic Case Mod

I just got a good idea for a case mod that I'm going to attempt over my week off of school. I've got an old untouch beige case that is going to be my practice box and I'm going to repaint it and put a hologram in it. It's a fairly simple process to make on, it's just a lengthy one. As I start, I'll ...
