It's an understatement, but yeah... Scythe fans are very good. I have four of the 1900 RPM version, and while they're very expensive for 120mm case fans, they move a TON of air (~75 CFM). 37-38°C idle temps, and full load just around 60°C. Now… more »

- Alberic and Grace, Temple Street - With PM active (and Guild Level 30), it's been a lot of fun roaming the world of Norrath lately. :D We (after a series of mishaps!) got the FBSS HQ done last night, which was a big upgrade for both of us - and a f… more »

Primordial Malice is finally looking like a real guild again! Last, night all at the same time, we had: Me, Grace, Rhy, Prev, Onte, Wolfgar, Omnikain, Roarak, and a new_random_invite01! It was... awesome! This is the first time in probably 4 years… more »

But Primordial Malice hit Guild Level 30 last night in EQ2! Foomby helped. (And Littlest, but I think Littlest wanted the bag too!) That gives us access to new houses, a lot more guild bank space, and I think some new mounts. Guild leveling is toug… more »

... of Lian Li's included case fans. :D Ok, so, Lian Li's cases are awesome. Wicked awesome. No one disputes that, really. But the included case fans are less than wonderful. ;) In my quest for comfy case/CPU/GPU temps, I ripped ONE of the Antec T… more »

Started the boot of the Vista64 DVD at 4:54pm, and at 6:10pm I started the long copy-over of my data. That's after full Vista install and update, plus installing the motherboard and video drivers and enabling Quad SLI (and all the reboots required by al… more »

Completed the physical build and a power-up check last night. Seems nothing is DOA! WOOT! I suppose the second video card could be DOA as until Vista is installed and the drivers are installed and SLI is enabled, it's just sitting there wasting power.… more »

So my machine is somewhat unreliable. For about 6 months, it has been rebooting during the "Evaluating CPU Performance..." portion of the Windows Experience Index evaluation. It does this every single time, and it does it in Vista 64 and Windows 7 (64)… more »

Randy's rocket's booster section wasn't destroyed after all! A little bit of glue and it was ready to go again. He's going to modify it for larger motors though... :D more »

That's a shot of the liftoff of club member Curtis' Level 1 Certification flight! The rocket was scratch-built by him. Yes, that used to be a child's crayon shaped bank. ;) It flew on a 29mm H-class motor to about 1,000 feet and was recovered in perfe… more »

So there's a new member of the PM ratpack: Alberice, L45 Bruiser. The magic of collection quests had him from 1-44 in about 2 hours (takes a while to buy up and double-click all those collection items!), then some rampaging with Grace in Nek had him 45… more »

That's a cut-n-paste and crop of my myaccount.turbine.com LOTRO section as it stands right now. :( And how's it looked for quite some time now. I have an appeal in, to hopefully make that scary "Banned Until" part go away, and allow my Captain and Lore… more »

That number up there, forty-five point three (45.3!) is how many miles we rode over Saturday and Sunday. That still may not seem like a huge total to any more serious riders that may be reading this, but again, keep in mind, we just this year were at a… more »

I'm also playing LOTRO again. I was an Alpha-era player, and due to a really bad series of events, that account is most likely permanently lost. I'm still waiting for final word on it, but it's been a week since I requested review and I've not heard an… more »

http://eq2players.station.sony.com/characters/character_profile.vm?characterId=204676201 That's a link to the profile for my wife's Ratonga Brigand in EQ2. :) The character was created 3 or 4 days before the game opened (we were pre-order customers).… more »

Since it's The Law™, we needed a road trip to break in our new car. There's some people we've been MMO gaming with for many years, that only live around 100 miles away, and we've never done the in-person meeting thing. Heh. Yeah, I know... silly… more »
