I edited my post.

Even for low end, I think you can do better than that. EDIT:SonicElectronix is selling CVRs for about the same price. At least with those, you know you are getting a quality product. And they're an authorized reseller.

1st, thanks for saying iPod Touch. iTouch gives me the heebie jeebies. Have you updated at all (I know you iPod Touch folk have to pay for updates). Has it always done this or is it a recent occurance? If you've updated to 3.0, do you have shake to shuffle on?

I think what he's asking is if they will be attached in the trunk, or if they will remain two loose boxes that will just be pushed together.

I feel bad that I laughed at that.

If that's the case, I'm trading my Park Ave. for a Lotus Elise. *sigh*

I have an idea, and I think it would work, but I'm not 100% sure. Heck, I don't even know if it is safe. Granted, this is just trying to find where the problem is, not necessarily fixing the problem. Turn the system on, then go to the amplifiers and one by one, pull RCAs. If the noise goes away, you know it is in the RCAs forward. If it remains, it's in the amplifiers backward. From there, you can go about swapping items to see if that changes anything.

IDK if it will change anything, but just asthetically (sp), I prefer the one where they are together. Differn't strokes.

I concur. Especially if you are even considering upgrading this rig in the future. I don't remember where on the internet I read it, but One guy said very few computers need 1000 watt PSUs. But he hasn't built one without one. The numbers manufaturers say the GPUs (as well as other components) pull are max numbers (From what I've read, not sure if this is 100% true though). They rarely ever pull that kind of power, especially if what you are doing most of the time is just regular computer duty, and not a/v editing or gaming. Another thing I read is do not skimp on a PSU. Quality of power is everything. Corsair is a good brand from everything I've seen. EDIT:Can I have the model number of the monitor?

I think, and I'm sure most of the board will agree with me, a S10 is a blank slate. The customization options are virtually limitless. That said, are you dedicating that money strictly to audio, or to customize the entire truck?

No worries. I don't mind critical. I have thick skin. I can take it. And thank you. That much is obvious.

I was about to say that. If you're only going to be running 2gigs of memory, the rest of the system is a bit of overkill IMO. Especially if you don't plan on upgrading it in the future. In which case, I suggest waiting until you can save up the extra $50 or so to get at least three gigs. Also just as a heads up, since you're running a double wide GPU, be sure you have clearance. I don't know for sure if it will, and I don't feel like looking it up.

You missed the date stamp, but yeah. I may decide to toss some wheels on later, but that will require looking for good looking rims, then looking for them at this angle, and I just don't feel like doing that much work. I really messed up the grass to the point of being obvious, but I think for just the casual look (ie you aren't looking for photo edits) It came out decently. Could it have been better? Most definitely, but would the time invested be worth the payoff is my question. Speaking of payoff, Photoshop is expensive. For someone who is just f'n around, I definitely couldn't justify that purchase. lol Though torrents are pretty cool... And after rereading this, I find I'm coming off kind of gruff and defensive. That definitely isn't my intention. I'm just saying I don't find the payoff to be worth the investment. I noticed that after I was finished. With it covering the third brake light, I still can't figure out how to fix it short of copying the other side, and pasting a reflection of it. _____ Thanks for the compliments doods.

I got Paint.Net a couple months back, and just let it sit on my computer. I got bored and decided to play around in it a little. I didn't do too much, but tell me what you think.

I sympathize...but I'm sorry, I thought this post was funny as hell. Getting your shit stolen and then not getting the money from insurance sucks, but look at the bright side, at least you now have a reason to rebuild. And I agree with David, look at your policy, and then sue the holy living shit out of them.

I don't personally ride, but having looked into it a while back, I have to say this is good advice. Every time I talk to someone who is into motorcycles, not just sport bikes, but cruisers and touring bikes (especially cruisers though), I keep hearing get what you really want and learn to ride that. You'll get the absolute basics down, but you'll still be moving to a relatively unfamiliar bike in the future anyway when you think you know what you are doing. I know and know of several people who got 1300s thinking they didn't know enough to get something bigger, but before the year was up, they were trying to get out from under it. OTOH, I know of a few people who got huge bikes, and they downsized and found riding more "fun." I decided after I got into my fender bender that I don't pay enough attention to what's going on to be riding a motorcycle. lol

Damn. I did that with some old blown RF 10s I had laying around, but forgot to keep the magnet. I must admit, that was fun as hell. I did keep the dust cap though. I love the old dustcap design.

After I get my iPhone re-jailbroken, Imma hop on. Impatience is killing me. I still have another 15 minutes before the damn .ipsw finishes downloading.

I got one for you. With hard drive enclosures, Do you suggest actively cooled, or just an aluminum case? I'm seeing two different answers. Personally, knowing what I know about hard drives (basically heat is the number one enemy), one that just radiates heat is good enough, and will serve it's purpose well, but one that's actively cooled would be overkill unless you're constantly reading/writing. The main thing that keeps popping up in my head though is when a hard drive is in a computer case, there are fans all throughout the case. And while I understand you have more heat producing items in a computer than just the hard drive, *shrug* Basicallly, I just want an outside opinion.

$150 a pop. I may be interested. If you still have some in a couple months, I might just get a couple with you jsmoke.

I LOL'd. Skydiving is something I'd want to try, but I think that after I get into the air, I'd chicken out. You make me mad! Sick ass hoe, AND you get to fly a plane. I'm coming to MS.

I'm not following. What exactly do you mean by "XL Tahoe"? Yukon XL=Suburban. Yukon=Tahoe. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding? EDIT: Or are did you mean to say a Yukon XL?

I'm pretty sure it's the equivalent of the Hilux. 'Round in these here parts, its a Tacoma. Nicknamed the Taco because of the first four letters. There are some nice vehicles in this thread. I WISH I could get an 90's era Impala SS.

I would, but I'm about to leave myself. I'll still add you. I might see you on later. BigJayDogg3
