How's this Cheese?

CplMOFO Hey Merlin, Keep up the good work man! Your sigs are nice!!!!! Thanks Mofo.

Welcome iRoN mAiDeN to the forums and good to see you enjoy the servers and spending time with us Idiots.

I have to ask, what the heck is a skill cannon?

Hey Cheese. Something like this?

Welcome Shadow Lord to the >XI< forums. Maybe see you on the CoD5 freeze tag server. Have Fun.

Thanks everyone and Happy Fathers Day to all of you Fathers. Have a great day all.

Welcome to the clan of Idiots Cobra and Hawkeye.

Happy Birthday Deerhunter and Amboy. Hope you both had a good day.

Good one 3rd and nice desktop Nutcutter.

LOL. Good morning funnies.

Then maybe I'd just better fill my wine glass up again. Thanks for that information Happy. Cheers

I prefer Canadian Club Classic but also like Crown Royal. Have had Alberta Premium as well that I didn't mind.

Very nice Evil-Monkey. I like the Zalmans as well. Find they provide excellent cooling.

Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought a few new components to build myself a newer PC that would take my new graphics card I bought last Christmas but would not fit in my previous case (proprietary design crap). Anyway, on a tight budget so I went with components that weren't too outdated, have some future upgradeability, and without having to spend a large sum of dollars. So I went with: Mobo - Gigabyte GA-880GM-UDSH w/socket AM3. Not super high end but does the job nicely. CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 925 Quadcore 2.8 GHz. Nice upgrade from an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dualcore 2.2 GHz. RAM - 4 GB DDR3 Corsair XMS (board will take 16 GB). Will probably pick up another 4 GB later. and now I can use: Video - EVGA nVidia GTS 450 w/1 GB DDR5 RAM This all went into a case I had laying around and the PSU and hard drive from old unit. All in all, so far I am happy with it. Gaming tonight was smooth with nice, noticeable improvement in graphics and overall performance. Just monitoring temps now to make sure I have good airflow in the case (which is on the negative pressure side). Cheers all.

Welcome vs to the >XI< forums and servers.

Boston certainly earned the win. They played hard and Thomas played great and consistent through out the series. Disappointed with Vancouver's Sedin line but mostly, I and like other Canadian hockey fans, am left in awe of the stupid ass rioters who feel it necessary to wreck their own city because their team lost. Like come on people! Again... You're a fuckin embarrassment to your town and as a Canadian hockey fan and as a hockey fan in general. Games are meant to be won and lossed. Don't like it, then get out and go check out basket weaving. Go Leafs Go.

Think you are right Gorilla. Not looking good... down 3 after 2 periods and Thomas is doing well. Some crazy bounces and some mis-handles during the power play don't help either.

Whatever the outcome tonight, this has been a great series. Time for some of that Luongo Kung Fu. Go Vancouver Go!

Busted. LMAO. Awesome Wolf.

1Deerhunter Being Canadian I will cheer for Vancouver . The real Canadian team is the the Canadians sorry Merlin and Chille but the facts are the facts. Bah Canadians. That's why the Maple Leaf is in the center of our flag right. Anyway, down to business away from you Toronto naysayers, here we go again for game 7. This does make for a great season finale and not to have a 4 game sweep or some shit like that. This is hockey. Time to win the cup on home ice. Go Vancouver!

Welcome to >XI< Sabre and PingLo.

You are right on that one Shamu. I think the outcome would have been different if he was not in net. He is a great goalie (good games and bad) and is a strong presence on the ice and that kind of presence helps hold a team together in events like this.

Glad to hear things are progressing and moving forward with her rehab. All my best wishes to you and your wife.
