I also don't like that it was said overclocking options would be limited with Sandy Bridge.
There's going to be "K" version CPUs available that can overclock. They have the multiplier unlocked (I think). They'll be a small premium, but they're no longer thousand dollar CPUs. It's usually like $20-$30 more from the last price list I saw, and most of the mainstream CPUs were around $200 or a little more, the most expensive being around the $300 mark.

With a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.
Plus PS3 DS3 wireless gamepad.
Beneath the Wii is an old analog cable box, I haven't changed it.
Don't watch much cable lately.

I think I need a black wii. :lol:
 
You can buy some cable organizers off newegg for pretty cheap. They mount on back of the TV via adhesive.

They're all going to conflict with your CPU cooler

They're upgrading your RAM for you!

That's... real, right!? I'm judging so given the larger cat in the background. They're cute! I want!

So what's changed is you new GTX460?

I'm assuming so. It's odd seeing how small yet powerful that card is. It almost looks as small as my old GeForce 8600GTS.

Of course it's probably not quite as small, but it looks much smaller than my GeForce 8800GT.

Stock images, but similar angle/image size should show you the size difference. Look at the length past where the PCI Express connector ends. The latter is twice as long, if not a little more. Hard to see from his pictures, but the GeForce GTX 460 seems to fall somewhere in the middle, but with a motherboard that size, it looks almost as small as the GeForce 8600 GTS I had.

Here's my card in relation to my motherboard (which I believe is the same size). It's almost as long as my motherboard.

Too bad I don't have a picture of the GeForce 8600 GTS in that system for comparison.

P.S. All of these Red nVidia cards. So odd!
