    no

    the only reason I selected water cooled was that it was default and only like $10 more expensive than the regular fan

    As long as its a sealed system, there's nothing that's a pain about it. It's the same as a fan pretty much. You don't have to do anything like clean it or change out fluid.

    I have to say though, I am disappoint. Why are you paying out the ass for someone else to put generic components in a big mclargehuge case?

    So, people who are overzealous about liberals taking away their freedoms use it as a big fuck you I'm defending my constitutional rights by being able to print guns.

    But it's about the same as welding your own guns or something, just that you're more able to produce quality goods with 3d printing. The gun you weld at home will probably blow up in your hand.

    quality and quality. They're really really shitty guns.

    Wow Adobe you are duuuuuuuuuumb!
    Adobe makes the second most pirated application in the world, and the adoption of their newer suites has been faltering for years as people declared CS2/CS3/CS4 "good enough" and stopped upgrading.

    If they didn't do something, they were going to start losing money. 30 bucks a month for every single app adobe makes per seat is a pittance for the firms that need that software day to day, is easily togglable so if you get a contract gig that requires you to use the suite for 3 months, you just bill the 90 dollars to your client...

    I think it is good for pretty much everyone but pirates who want the bleeding edge best software.

    But if you dont have any previous CS software its $50 a month on a year contract or $75 monthly, thats brutal

    Didn't they make CS2 freeware?
    They posted a serial number that bypasses the activation server because the activation server is permanently borked.

    they still don't want you stealing it.

    It is the equivalent of a car with the doors unlocked and the keys in the sun visor.

    And the car respawns everytime someone takes it.
    And a giant sign saying "whatever"

    The slim PSU on one of the order taking computers has died

    A metal retaining bracket has broken on the oven loader and needs to be welded

    The bread guide on another of the bread slicers has snapped off

    Well I mean, yeah, but far less likely than a home weld or something. But way more likely than an actual gun from a company that's been doing this for 200 years.

    The slim PSU on one of the order taking computers has died Drug dealer OD'd in the bathroom on the shit he was supposed to be selling.

    A metal retaining bracket has broken on the oven loader and needs to be welded Caught one of the front's bakery workers coming out of the local police station. Going to weld his mouth shut.

    The push bar on one of the bread slicers has come apart The push bar on one of the counterfeit money cutters has come apart.

    The bread guide on another of the bread slicers has snapped off The paper guide on another of the counterfeit machines has snapped off.

    No.

    It's more like $1k.

    The case he chose is $150, the proc is $220, the gpu is $300. Another $150 for RAM and $50 + $100 for SSD + HD. That's $970 already without anything else or labor.

    St Kevin and the Blackbird

    And then there was St Kevin and the blackbird.
    The saint is kneeling, arms stretched out, inside
    His cell, but the cell is narrow, so

    One turned-up palm is out the window, stiff
    As a crossbeam, when a blackbird lands
    and Lays in it and settles down to nest.

    Kevin feels the warm eggs, the small breast, the tucked
    Neat head and claws and, finding himself linked
    Into the network of eternal life,

    Is moved to pity: now he must hold his hand
    Like a branch out in the sun and rain for weeks
    Until the young are hatched and fledged and flown.

    *

    And since the whole thing's imagined anyhow,
    Imagine being Kevin. Which is he?
    Self-forgetful or in agony all the time

    From the neck on out down through his hurting forearms?
    Are his fingers sleeping? Does he still feel his knees?
    Or has the shut-eyed blank of underearth

    Crept up through him? Is there distance in his head?
    Alone and mirrored clear in Love's deep river,
    'To labour and not to seek reward,' he prays,

    A prayer his body makes entirely
    For he has forgotten self, forgotten bird
    And on the riverbank forgotten the river's name.

    Good, eh?

    look all i'm saying is that there's an incongruity in nerd opinions on this because every nerd wants you to build your own computer but half say it's an interesting, fun adventure... and the others say it's a snap, no thought put slot a in b etc

    it can't be both 'so simple it makes no sense to pay someone' and 'a fun adventure where you get to make this thing work with your bare hands!!!'

    Skips, that's not as much as a rip off as these guys are claiming. I mean, yes, you don't need some of the stuff (I'd say drop the sound card def and maybe the proc down to the regular 3570 if you're not going to OC), but you should also probably up the SSD to a 128 or 256 so you can put more than the OS install on it.

    just get a sandybridge i5 and be done with it. But as far as overclocking goes, if you get an ivybridge i5 and an asrock mobo (and I bet others do it as well) overclocking is as easy as going into the bios and click "Overclock to 4.x GHZ plz k thx. The Asrocks have built in overclock presets. You just find the one that is stable on your system.
