    Where is the slim, gaming only motherboard (and accompanying case) with one PCIe 16x slot, 4 ram slots, 1 CPU slot and NOTHING ELSE. I feel like there is a massively under served market here. Nobody likes huge fucking empty towers.

    Micro ATX?

    Still huge.

    There's like no room to spare in my micro ATX case, and I could pick it up one handed.

    Imagine if there were no hard drive or optical bays, just two SSD slots. Now reshape the thing in your head, ignoring the square footprint of the motherboard. See how tiny it could be?

    we are still a ways away from people going to SSD only builds, even having two 250 GB SSD's would barely leave you with a reasonable amount of space to play with while jacking up the price considerably

    you'd be paying around £250 just on having 500GB of hd space

    On sale, I got a 500gb SSD two weeks ago for $300. Still exorbitant compared to mechanical drives per GB, but the prices are coming down.

    well that leaves you with space for one more drive but you'd still be paying ~£250 per 500GB

    and once we're talking about putting in another, well, spending £500 of your build budget on hard drives is crazy talk

    I have this little babby NAS in my closet that I use to store my big stuff.

    synology_ds412p.JPG

    It can serve content directly to my TV and runs VPN and a few other web services.

    My gaming computer just needs a single 256GB SSD for applications and can be shut down totally when it's not in use.

    I had a meeting with my boss today. Towards the end, he made a comment about how he needs me to learn some new things to help make our team CMMI complient. He said "Some of this will be just in case you leave tomorrow, god forbid. Please don't leave tomorrow."

    Then I had to go into my spiel about how I'm quitting the company. The PM seems like a good guy, it made me feel bad. :(

    B School is a special, special snowflake. So far the one thing I can get any two of the interns to agree on is that they don't like her.

    It's a marketing internship but they said they could have me doing quantitative analytic stuff which is what I'll be going to school for. Maaan, I was kind of counting on this. I didn't interview anywhere else because it sounded so definite.

    Snooze Button Time Traveler Sets Coordinates For 5 Minutes Into The Future
    MINNEAPOLIS—Setting his sights on a point five minutes into the future, snooze button time traveler Brent Conley, 31, engaged the launch initiation switch on his temporal teleportation device at precisely 7:30 a.m. this morning, immediately sending himself hurtling through time.

    Having carefully computed the appropriate coordinates and loaded them into his sophisticated time-travel mechanism, the veteran temporal navigator and online ad salesman was reportedly able to rocket himself through the very fabric of the fourth dimension with little more than the press of a button, traveling the equivalent of five earth minutes in the mere blink of an eye.

    “Ummghh,” said the snooze button time traveler upon his virtually instantaneous arrival at 7:35 a.m., having rematerialized in the same spot in his one-bedroom apartment exactly one-twelfth of an hour after his departure. “Wha?”

    “Gahh,” he added as he eyed his current time coordinates with disapproval, immediately discerning with the insight of years of time-travel experience that he had yet to journey far enough into the future.

    With a vigorous and confident strike of his hand, Conley reportedly engaged the ignition button again, initiating a second staggering surge though the chronological ether. Quickly assuming the proper supine position necessary for time travel, the temporal voyager pulled close his duvet heat barrier for the fantastic light-speed journey before him.

    While the electronic time-manipulation device that powers Conley’s leaps into the future is said to be small, it is by no means simple. Bearing a dizzying array of switches, dials, buttons, and an arcane digitized display of glowing numbers and dots, the mechanism can reportedly be calibrated to the time cruiser’s exact needs and is always kept within arm’s reach, perched conveniently atop a birch-veneer self-assembled end table.

    According to reports, the advanced device emits piercing tones to indicate a successful arrival in the future, often blaring the choruses and verses of classic rock songs from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and today, or occasionally the shrill vocalizations of Conley’s disembodied travel companions, Bill And Linda In The Morning.

    “Son of a…” said the veritable time captain after a second deftly executed chrono-jump, his vision blurred and a watery discharge emanating from his mouth, both common side effects of his disorienting blasts through spacetime. “Come on.”

    “Agh,” he added defiantly before challenging the very limits of time travel by commencing a third vault across the temporal threshold.

    According to astonishing accounts, the 2003 University of Minnesota graduate is known to venture as far as 20 minutes into the future routinely, completing such mind-bending feats of chronological teleportation as many as three or four mornings per week.

    To endure his extraordinary journeys, Conley reportedly wears a specialized time-travel suit consisting of cutting-edge cotton-poly-blend plaid leg coverings and protective upper-body gear emblazoned with the words “Hard Rock Cafe London,” garments specifically suited for the particular rigors of his transits. In addition, the chrononaut’s meticulously engineered queen-sized time-pod, which carries Conley effortlessly into the future, is said to consist of dozens of hidden spring coils, a space-age quilt-top surface, and several insulating layers of highly advanced 300-thread-count textiles.

    In spite of his remarkable ability to bend the very dimensions of time to his will, the snooze button time traveler is said to occasionally encounter obstacles on his voyages. Indeed, such a glitch reportedly occurred Monday when an errant deactivation of his device’s power toggle, which is located within just inches of the launch bar, propelled the traveler into a much deeper wormhole in the spacetime continuum than he had anticipated, depositing him woefully into the far-too-distant future.

    “What?” said Conley in momentary confusion, examining the unexpected digits 8:28 on his chrono-display before realizing he had been thrust a startling 48 minutes into the future and had no means of return. “No!”

    “God fucking dammit,” the time traveler added as he hurriedly grabbed khaki pants and a dress shirt from his hamper and sprinted toward the bathroom.
