Dude, try OxyElite Pro. It runs for ~40 bucks on bodybuilding (dot) com but I picked it up on ebay for $28 dollars tax free/free shipping.

You will literally have to tell yourself to eat because you just don't think about food.

No, I'm not affiliated with them. It just works. I also swear by Lipodrene w/ephedrine.

I'm a forum member at ironmagazineforums dot com w/12K posts! OxyElite review here (http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/usp-labs-oxyelite-review.html).

I got Isatori's MX-LS7. Back to the thread:

I just bought a new WD 750GB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136546) hard drive for my Alienware laptop! To me, that's a stupid amount of storage for a laptop. I would've bought the 1TB, but apparently it's a little thicker than a standard drive so it may not fit.

Awesome articulated vise, better wire strippers (previously just used my pocketknife...idk why I never bought one of these before...), and pin-opener-thingies.

Radeon HD 5770 from Trace to replace an old 8400gs

145.00

think i spent 189.99$ on my 5770, but i wanted the XXX edition to ensure i got a good GPU.


little yah know, 960Mhz Core/ 1330mhz memory over the 800/1100 standard. performs like a champ. (hangs, and sometimes beats bud's GTX260)

[TheGreatSatan]

$987 for the laptop
$298 for the 8GB RAM
$109 for the 750GB HD

Then in a couple of years when I sell it, it'll still be worth a lot.

[NightrainSrt4]

Sweet. Mine was $899 + tax. 4GB ram, 250Gb hdd. I've got plenty of externals, and the server, so space on the laptop itself isn't an issue.

So far I've played:

TF2
Zeno Clash
CSS
COD4:MW
BF:BC2

without issues. All games default to high settings aside from BC2 which is medium, but plays quite well enough for me. It's no quad/gtx280, but for under 65W it will be nice to actually be able to use it this summer instead of the huge increase in apartment heat the other rig puts out. Oh, and I played TF2 for 2 hours on battery and still had charge left over to browse the internet for longer than I needed. It's overclocked to 1.6GHz, and I'm still impressed with the battery life right now.

With the few hundred I got for my bday, all I have to come up with is ~700 to cover the cost, which should be pretty easy with 2 22" screens, a quad gaming rig, and a macbook to sell.


More directly OT: I got a new desk chair at the thrift store for $25. It's no super awesomesauce one but quite a bit better than the one I was using.

my headset was $299.99 plus $25.00 shipping

My two most recent purchases are a 2TB WD Elements external hard drive. And these awesome new seats for my car:

If there's interest I can post a worklog but it might not be that interesting, although I am considering swapping it to a manual transmission.

[SXRguyinMA]

a friend of mine swapped the trans on his outback from an auto to a manual a few years back

[biggoofy]

Last thing I bought was an iced tea from the gas station. Computer related I bought 8800 GT 512mb from Indybird.

[billygoat333]

Chaksq: Oooh, do a build thread. or just link to one if you already have one! lol

[diluzio91]

is the psu in the 5.25 bays?

[Juicebox]

is the psu in the 5.25 bays?

Yeah, its an Antec CP-850. Much larger than the standard ATX PSU. It was from my previous rig and wasn't able to fit in the bottom ATX slot; so I threw it in the best I could. I think it's actually a very nice spot.

[diluzio91]

its unique! lol
