Wow it's nice and toasty where you live. :p

All fathers must be the same. My dad is just like that. :p

I have a Galaxy S phone and I love it. Most of the stuff I do doesn't even require 3G. I have never heard of the wifi-only version but if it is the same thing as the phone minus the cell phone...

You can fix a processor even if the pin breaks off by placing it into the socket and then putting the CPU on top. Here is a video of this in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdDccsbv5hA

+1 Should work just fine.
The motherboard you chose is also great for overclocking. I wouldn't recommend software overclocking anyway. From experience, it can get unstable and lacks the depth of...

It looks good as a tablet (or another touch device) OS but for desktops, the standard interface looks MUCH more intuitive. I think it's very pretty though. :)

How do you get the panel to look like that? It's much better than the original. :)
Thanks

Gas is not a problem price-wise for me. Water prices are extremely high in my area. I expect my bill to surpass $200 a month in a year or two.

Sorry to hear about the problems with SLI. It could be that one of the cards was bad.
If you are not worried about drivers in Linux, I would even consider the 6950. It has a lower price and every...

That statement was purely sarcasm. I was really just jabbing at everyone who shouts "Global Warming!" at every little natural occurrence like a drought and famine for example. I really do agree with...

Sorry for being ignorant to the "facts". I should have done my research. *Hangs head in shame* :-#
Just forget I even said anything. lol

I did read the thread (Not the links) and was not...

And on the subject of weather, in Chicago, the winters have been consecutively record-breaking cold. We had snowfall in late November which is rare and a good amount of snow this month. It's been...

Trees being cut down is not a problem. As the logging companies cut, they also replant. It's not like they just keep cutting and cutting. They would be out of the job very quickly if they did. Maybe...

I know what you mean. Many online tutorials are very lengthy and confusing and don't properly teach you. They tell you how to do it instead of telling you what you are doing.

Well, you have a good point but if you are going to upgrade things every few years you might as well buy the best so you don't have to throw it all out at the same time. I built a $600 computer and I...

I tried it with his proposed system and it was 500 watts minimum. With power supplies, you should get at least 200 watts extra for future upgrades. I would still go for the 850 watt.

That's true. Also, SSD is still a new technology and will definitely get cheaper and mature a little.

The memory should be fine. The speed differences with lower latencies are negligible. But if...

You're almost done with the list. Some things to consider:

1.) Buy an SLI bridge as those cards do not come with one
2.) Maybe consider an SSD for Windows 7. You won't regret it.
3.) Buy...

I know I've been posting a lot of Corsair products but they make some quality PC components. I really like everything they make and the warranties they have....

If you are still unsure about the graphics, here is a useful guide:

Yeah the Corsair cases are very expensive but you get what you pay for. IMO, that case lacks the "class" of a Corsair case. It's too flashy. :p

I agree with everything except this. Two GTX460's in SLI is better than a single GTX480 in most cases. I would consider buying the 1GB versions though.

For the power supply I would get this:

It is 80+ Gold and has a 7 year warranty.

I would also recommend a different case. I...
