I'm back.

**Wheelchair** · March 15, 2010, 05:45 PM

Well, I'm back from a little break, I was hanging around OCN.net a but I miss TWC!

Anyways, I suppose I'll give an update on my setup as always

So I started work on my new project. This summer I plan to do alot of things and I already started! Yesterday I bought 2 LG 21.5" 1080P monitors and I plan to buy another this summer for some Eyefinity action, I also plan to buy a Obsidian Corsair 800D and spend around $500 on Watercooling items and some nice cable sleeves... mmm, Going to be a fun summer! Anyways, I'm glad to be back

Oh yeah, I also bought this laptop a few weeks ago! It's a HP DM3 AMD edition (You can get a Intel edition) and it sports a Dualcore Neo, 4GB ram and pretty big 320GB HDD, which is 7200RPM! I found it at staples for $480 on clearance... I just couldn't pass up that deal since I saw it on American sites going for $699+, I runs WoW on medium settings at a constant 60 fps which is perfect for my Mobile addiction. Any other 3D games are just suicide for it... CoD4 gets around 20 fps lol :/ but I didn't buy this for games, mostly for school since my old netbook fell off my windowsill and cracked in two pieces... oh fun times. It's Less than an inch thick and it's sexy as hell, It looks like a $1200+ laptop.

Hey! Welcome back

Very similar setup to mine actually. Except I have a blue LED case instead of red.

**Wheelchair** · March 15, 2010, 05:55 PM

Yeah I don't like the red anymore. I need variety. I go through about 3-4 cases a year. With my Obsidian Corsair 800D I plan to keep until... well... Until I can't keep it.

**Capt. Fozdike** · March 15, 2010, 06:01 PM

lol I have only had one case for the last 2 years. I don't have the funds to buy new cases all the time. I usually just upgrade the parts inside and I'm happy.

How many cases do you own?

Well I only own one right now. I build PC's out of my room for clients and I build about 30-40 a year for people so it's not to hard to get rid of old cases. I sell my old cases at full retail cost and touch them up a bit and people can't tell the difference between new and old. I then use the money I got from my case sale (and money from labor of building the PC) to buy a new case, that way I don't lose any money

Not a bad idea come to think of it. Although most of the people that buys PCs from me only want basic ones, not gaming ones.

True, but out of 40 people I get 3-5 people who want gaming ones, usually friends

Yeah I've only had 2 people wanting gaming cases and they were both friends.

What kind of laptop is that on your desk?

**Capt. Fozdike** · March 15, 2010, 06:34 PM

Pretty nice laptop. I don't like HP though to be honest. I've had a lot of trouble with them, I've gone with Toshiba since I bought my first Toshiba

**Wheelchair** · March 15, 2010, 06:39 PM

Well the only company I really really really hate is Acer. ugh :/

HP is okay I guess, just okay. I bought this laptop because of it's formfactor and specs... for $480 you can't go wrong. 1366x768 also looks beautiful on 13.1 inches, Bluray movies look amazing D:

I hate Acer with a passion.

HP is probably ok now but a few years ago they were terrible. I bought a Toshiba Satellite M110 about 4 or 5 years ago and it still lives with Windows 7 running on it. I have gone with Toshiba ever since I bought it and my current one is a Satellite A500

I was looking into the Toshibas but I bought mine because of it's size. I needed something that wouldn't break my back or my bank account, so I bought this little fella.

Oh yeah, and I ran Speccy on it to see who made what parts in the PC... my 4GB of RAM is Hyundai, I didn't know they made RAM lol

Yeah I've had several Toshiba laptops and they're still alive to this day. They're the most reliable laptops I've found

Oh no, they're cars are crap so I suppose they're ram would be too
