DIGITALWANDERER: When can we see another mod from you?

It's been a while since the box fan mod. It's been longer since the penny ramsinks:say:.....what's next? Do you have time to humor us? I miss your mods.

YEAH!

When are you gonna stop just knocking the FX all over the net and get down to DOING something productive? Anyone can rip apart a crappy product that's been over-hyped, why not try and do something original for a change?

Soon, hopefully....can you say, "toilet training"?

Yeah, it is sort of like shooting fish in a barrel to bash on nVidia right now...but that doesn't make it any less fun or them any less deserving!

I'm sorry I haven't really been doing much 'cept posting lately, in real life I think my meat-puppet is going thru a mild nervous breakdown. Don't fret, he does this all the time. I personally feel it's just his way of trying to get out of work, but he swears it's the stress of "the Mom-thing" 24/7 without a break for too many months in a row.

It'll get better, as soon as he gets his daughter toilet trained she's going to be starting pre-school and he'll have time in abundance on his hands so I think he'll let me take over for a while then and have some fun.

("No, I'm not schizophrenic...I just play that on the web." "YES YOU ARE!" "No I'm not, shut up and go back to sleep." )

He made heatsinks out of pennies. Basically took some pennies, got them smooth and shiny.... Epoxied them together and epoxied it to his ram chips on his video card to cool the RAM.

It worked, he was able to overclock his ram higher.
