[QUOTE=benjgvps;44529243]I've used Urban Armor Gear cases and love them, they're usually cheaper than an Otterbox, though look and feel very nice. The Ballastic case I had on my Nexus S was nice, but the bumpers were rubber and would constantly make my phone hard to take out of my pockets.
I don't use screen protectors since they always make the phone feel cheap and most of the plastic ones suck for fingerprints and make drawing with the SPen feel strange.[/QUOTE]
Choose the screen protectors that have that anti-fingerprint coating.
My PSTriple 60GB got the YLOD, so I'm attempting a temporary fix by reflowing the solder on the GPU. Should last long enough to get a full backup.
The suspect.

Holy FUCK.
I don't mean to call BS but those numbers sound way too high for a Clevo and NBC would agree with me:

I know Clevo's very well and have seen a few P170SM's and I've never even seen one get close to what you say under heaven with basic surfing.

the fact that both console manufacturers could've avoided HUGE issues with their consoles by just making the most important components through-hole...
What is a decent case for water cooling a 2500k and a 780 ti?
Edit: Preferably Mid-Tower
Anyone having problems with youtube right now? It's very slow for me, and it's not my connection.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;44529870]Anyone having problems with youtube right now? It's very slow for me, and it's not my connection.[/QUOTE]
Fine for me.
[QUOTE=Rixxz2;44529302]Yeah, I move around quite a lot, being able to simply slop down my main machine into a backpack and take it with me is a huge convenience. Then there's also the fact that Clevo's machines are pretty much completely upgradable, only problem is that laptop processors and GPU's are very rare and extremely expensive.
Oh, and it's pretty much the first high-performing laptop I've ever seen that doesn't look like some kind of spaceship, but has instead went for a very minimalistic look.

That laptop is still thick and heavy as fuck, I would never use something like that.
Also Clevo laptops are pretty questionable in terms of build quality.

Not really. Making ICs with dense pins are extremely expensive to manufacture and also cause a whole bunch of other complications that will end up creating more cons than pros.
Bloody hell, could you imagine a modern CPU in a DIP package?

Or just leaded solder.

It would be like socket 604, only bigger.
Soo,
There's a thing called "[URL="https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/account/inactive"]Inactive Account Manager[/URL]" on Google that will let you send your stuff to trusted contacts and then delete it in the event you stop using Google services entirely or in the worst case scenario that you die/change ID/get lost. I've just taken the time to set it up.

Unless someone knows if I can hackintosh a PC laptop with thunderbolt.

Unless Apple decides you can run a Mac inside a Virtual Machine or something of the like.
Smoke pretty much needs all the resources it can get. I've run Mac os in a virtual machine and it doesn't work as well as you'd think.

Normal Google Accounts work.
I'm going to assume your workplace will just remove you when you die/quit.
It probably means your work account will be accessible by the work admin anyways.
considering that the only reason i use google apps is so i can have the quality gmail experience on my own domain
pretty sure my workplace admin won't be able to alert my next of kin, cause he'll be in the same coffin as me

AMD's site clearly states one is needed
