I actually work with an ion milling machine that could be used for MIMS (we don't do it where I work however). The accuracy of the cuts on those is amazing.

I haven't tried iRacing but it looks pretty good. When I had a wheel I played Live for Speed alot. Which looks similar, just not as high of a budget or online leagues and such. This does make me want to go out and get a new racing wheel for my PC though! (old one is bolted to my sons book case...

I almost never re-use a PSU. The Capacitor life drops too dramatically after 3-4 years and can be unstable. As a general rule if a motherboard dies, I replace both motherboard and PSU. I've had too many new parts killed by mixing it with an old part. 4 gig is fine for windows 7, I'm running 64...

Seriously tho... No idea.

I'v got the Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-mobile. I would have prefered the 3G as it had the 16 gig of memory on the phone instead of an SD card, but they didn't carry it any more at the local store. First smart phone I've had. I was very hesitant to jump on the smartphone bandwagon due to the data...

Weld the Door shut, paint it the colors of the rising sun, and start a TV show called Dukes of Hiroshima! Then all that crawling in and out of the car window would be practice! Oh... and start practing shooting dynamite out of a bow.

If it snows at all, make sure you clear the snow frequently (I know summer is coming up, but fall/winter is right after) A friend of mine, who I sold my 88 supra to had his under a carport, but with snow buildup it collapsed on his car, crushing the top. Sad day. Anyway, keep the top clear even...

I built my PC for around 1500 this year. But I could build one that plays games for under 1k easily. As for the quality difference, it's noticable in some games more than others. Farcry 2 being an example, WAY cleaner on PC. Crysis 2 was aimed more at consoles this time around, which is why...

I've played through it once already, and about 1/2 way through co-op. In co-op you can place tags to indicate where you want your buddy to place a portal, so it technically IS possible without a mic, just much more frustrating. As for the too much money for not enough game, I'll reserve my...

I don't have em anymore, but I had a C64, before that I had a Texas Instrument ti 99, and a Commodore Vic20... I think I'll go yell at people on my lawn now.

I remember when they were new....

To me, which may or may not be the correct definition it goes like this. A job is a place where you go to get paid. You really could care less about the work you do or why you do it. You can do it well, but really all it is, is a paycheck. A career, is a place you WANT to be. This may mean...

Scan Line Interleave. Was originally brought to the home PC builders by 3DFX back in the day with the voodoo cards. NVidia bought thier IP a while back and slowly integrated it into their cards. Basically it lets you hook up 2 (or more) video cards at once to get better performance. Different...

Sorry, good catch. Here's a couple NVidia chipset boards. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131636 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131637 Wasn't thinking of it as my current board is an X58 and supports both. Most boards don't require that you...

I'm with Northwestsupra, the i7 is ALOT more and if you want to stay in budget you'll have to skimp elsewhere. Unless you're compiling code, converting video, folding@home or something VERY processor intesive, the AMD is fine and in your price range. I also stick with Nvidia, but thats more of a...

When looking for memory, first I check the mobo manufacturers recommended list. Then I go to newegg and check those models, looking at reviews, the larger number of reviews with the highest star rating ones are the choices I pick. Read the reviews, if you have time to see what, if any issues...

If I were to choose a different motherboard, it would be this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131646 ASUS has never lead me wrong. As for CPU choice and overclocking... IMO Intel has the raw power ATM, but AMD has always had the bang for the buck. If you're on a...

I've had Rosewill PSU's (3 in total) pop between 1 and 2 years. I've no idea if that specific model has the same issue, but I tend to shy away from the brand because of it. Thats running them off a UPS as well. Currently running a Corsair 750W PSU if you want a different manufacturer, Been close...

Technician in a Failure Analysis lab at a semiconductor company. I run scanning electron microscopes among other things. I'm also in charge of tool repair/maintenance. I don't get paid enough to be independently wealthy, but I like my job and I don't mind going to work. Where do I plan to be...
