  1. Barats and Bereta are the best! I've been watching their videos for years.
  2. I really think you should save up for the 6970. They're definitely doing to drop in price around October, which is before all the latest and greatest stuff comes out anyway. Then again, I'm always one for saving up and getting the next model up A 6870 or 6850 would be decent choices. I much prefer them over the nvidia cards.
  3. The GTX460 is a very so-so card and going with two of them would just be silly. It's much easier and almost always more efficient to run a single card. Personally, I'd go with a Radeon 6970 and be done with it. If you for some reason want to stick with nvidia then go with the comparable GTX570. I largely prefer ATI cards.
  4. It's alright for a first build. The PSU is INCREDIBLY overboard, especially without a GPU and a proper cooling method. Some of the brands I prefer to stay away from personally. I prefer Corsair for my power needs and OCZ or Corsair for memory. It's certainly a start. Make sure you know what you're doing before you attempt an overclock.
  5. Someone from the High School I went to was just picked up by the San Francisco Giants. Panik was his name.
  6. I don't understand why you haven't reported him yet? These things are very easy to take care of.
  7. I have the most ridiculously large, rare, and well kept collections of original Pokemon cards that you'll ever see. I was offered $3,500 for the whole collection back in the day. Being a young kid who still wanted to play and trade with my friends, I refused. Now they're pretty much worthless, but I still like looking at them and thinking back to the late 90s now and then.
  8. mine was a TSX. loved the car but it had some things that got on my nerves. so far i ordered all the stuff to install my eclipse avn7263, OEM fog light kit, 5000k 35W for the low beam projectors, and im getting the windows tinted on Friday or Saturday. Removing the dash is a nightmare on these new Accords. I remember just popping it out on my 1998 Accord. My 2009 was a bitch.
  9. Do you guys think I could benefit with a cheap EQ? I'm talking sub $200. Any recommendations?
  10. Well it isn't exactly a user build since I don't plan on doing it myself or recording it so this seemed to be the most appropriate.
  11. Thanks guys! Hopefully I can put this gear in soon. I'm STILL waiting on the box. I already planned my next steps on upgrading this after I'm sick of it. I'm already trying to get a H/O alt at the moment. I'd love to get another 12" Havoc and sell the 1500D to buy a 2500D or something, but I doubt I could ever fit those subs.
  12. I bought a D3400 off of a user from here who says it sat around 12.8v before shipping. It has been sitting here for about a month and I'm about to install. Will buying a charger ever be necessary or can I run it decent enough off my stock alternator? It will be used as a secondary in the trunk running the equipment in my signature. I plan on upgrading the alternator in a few months, but I want to make sure I'm not harming the battery. Not exactly sure how to maintain the battery.
  13. Brother how do i upload the pix?? Host the picture somewhere like imageshack.us and use the forum code to post it here. It will allow you to resize it and whatnot before uploading.
  14. Agreed, a friend of mine has it on the back of his car and I make fun of him routinely. Never was a fan of slapping 300 stickers on the back of my car.
  15. I really hope so! Just a few weeks ago I heard my friend's "premium upgrade" system in his new Jeep with Boston Acoustics speakers and those even blew me away. I'll send you one now.
  16. Thanks! I spent hours and hours on SMD researching. I must have changed my mind 100 times on some things haha.
  17. I've been saving up since February and I finally have everything needed for my new system. All that's left is the box, but it's on the way. Just for a little perspective, this is what I'm coming from: JL 10w6v2 with a JL 500/1v2 in a sealed box that's not ideal for performance. It was more for aesthetics, but that no longer cuts it. Everything else was stock. New gear going in next week: Ascendant Audio Havoc 12" (Got this sucker in March, it has been hard to look at for over 2 months. Thanks, Nick!) Pioneer AVH-P3200DVD. (This has actually been in the car since the JL sub went in last August.) Hertz Mille MLK165. (Going from stock speakers to these babies will be NICE.) XS Power D3400. (I heard XS was the way to go.) Sundown Audio SAX-125.2 (I hope this is enough power for the MLKs) Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D (I've come to find amps sexy like the rest of you.) Knu Kolossus Flex 1/0awg, Krystal Kable RCAs, 12awg Speaker Wire. (4awg Streewires for mids already in car.) Second Skin Damplifier Pro Bulk Pack and Overkill (It was pricey, but I had to with all the glowing reviews here.) I'd say that's a quality upgrade from my first sound system to my second. I decided to put this in the junk section since I don't plan on recording a whole build unless the shop decides to document it. Yes, I'm having a shop do it. I don't want to screw up working on a brand new car. For those wondering the box will be 2.5cf with an aero port. I thought I'd just share my excitement as completion nears! If you have any tips or comments let me know. I hope these pictures don't end up too large.
  18. Actually it was $30 for Xbox 360 when I posted that and $20 for PC. They just upped the price since it was on sale. Plus, don't ever use gamestop as a price reference, use Amazon. I was just letting people know, not trying to crap on you or anything haha. GLWS
  19. Dead Space 2 is $30 brand new on the EA Store right now. Not lookin' to bring that down just a tad?
