just though I'd share...
when I'm not playing around with my 91 PU, I'm probably playing around with my other hobby, like building my new rig
Specs:
MSI X58 Pro LGA 1366 Motherboard
Intel i7 920 @ stock 2.66ghz Processor
6GB Corsair XMS3 Memory
WD 1TB (OS, file storage, program files) for hard-drive 1
Seagate 300GB (Media Center recording) for hard-drive 2
MSI HD4870 1gb Graphics Card
Hauppauge WINTVHVR1600 HD TV Tuner card
Sigma Shark SP-585 585 watt Power Supply
All wrapped nicely in an Antec 902, and working on Windows Vista 64 bit

With this one, I decided it was time to use current and upcoming technology so I decided on the main parts (the motherboard and processor) being something fresh, so enter the new line of i7 cores
Luckily my new job (well I say new; I've been there for about 9 months now) allowed me to explore with the cash some... dumped $1,300 into this build and that's just the tower; I already had the 22.5" LCD and everything else
It could still use a couple little things, like a better CPU cooler instead of the stock one... it's like my truck; I'll never be saticfied, cause there's ALWAYS something that can be made better

Yeah, too bad your running Intel. Can't really overclock the i7's. Some changes can be done to the MSI board, but thats 'bout it.......
Sounds like a quick lil gaming machine!!!!

LMFAO! Just like my friends! They all have these huge, crazy, built computers with blue lights and 5 fans.... but they know next to nothing about cars. Thats where I come in, with my limited knowledge of mainly only Yotas
Sweet looking compy...

granted there's no FSB on the i7's like most other procs, you can still OC
a buddy of mine has the 920 as well, running at 3.9ghz on air; I don't really feel the need to OC this thing though; I think it's a beast as is

but yeah, I almost bought a locker and 4.88's instead, lol
seeing that I don't go out to the trails as much like I use to, and it's more of my daily commuter now that see's 4wd maybe only once or twice a month, I thought I'd get more use out of a new computer

very close
nope
HTC Mogul
I wanted a Windows Mobile phone for so long, and I love Windows Mobile, and the features of the phone are nice, but the phone's too darned slow, lol, it can be a PITA some times
I may consider the Tilt when the time comes that I need a new one
Wab, I surprised you noticed that and not the leaf sping shackle bushings sitting under the moniter that came from YOU in your shackle kit I was able to get the metal center portions out of my stockers some how, and the stock bushings are working fine for now; when I get new leafs, they'll go in though

Yota Tech's + Computer Tech's = Awesome.
I had to get up at 1 AM yesterday because a friend was building a computer, his first build, and something was wrong. He didn't push the memory in all the way.
I'm jealous of my Dad, he has a laptop table in his Accord, I want one for my Yota.
Awesome machine bleeder, great price too! Some guy who came into our store had one, he fried the i7 AND the MOBO. He paid like $300 apiece and Intel won't cover it.
When I get extra money it's hard to decide whether I should buy a computer related object, or Yota related object.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

yeah that was kinda stupid on his part spend $600 on computer parts that you're not sure how to put together?
in the midst of the new processor core designing and all, Intel should have thought up a better way to mount the heat sink... I wasn't a big fan of the way it mounted on my old dual core 775 rig, and to find the same method of locking it down on the 1366 socket, kinda had me dissapointed... I'd rather have the dangerous feeling 478 style lock in, lol. so what if it made the mobo bend, you knew that hinksink was held tight against the proc
