santa came!!

[zooplancton]

woohoo! the big brown just pulled up and out pops generic santa with old squid's pipes!!!!!

going to polish the mid pipe this coming week and install the pipes!
these things are WAY nicer looking in person than any of the photos i've seen.
build quality on these things are superb. nice welds, mufflers are solidly built, etc.

You will love 'em.

I also note you have a real computer, not a box running windblows.

ha! amen brother. mac pro / 3 gigs ram, dual quad intel / 30" monitor.
this machine is pure heaven. (you can't see the box behind the monitor.
loving it.

Braggart.

30 inch monitor. Yeah, like that's useful. :-D

I'm still running a water-pumper dual 2.5 with a 23" cinema display and 3 gigs of RAM. I can't see upgrading until I have to, and expect to get another 5 years or so out of this box. These things last forever. I just wish I had the extra drive bays of the new intel boxes!

hahaha! no way! the added screeen room is for tools my friend!
i cracked open a burly 80 layer flash file today, and having the timeline stretched across the screen was sweet!

it is a bit over kill, but being able display a full spread and still see type is something i've been waiting for, for a long time!

are you over-clocking your mac???!! (water pumper)
love the hijack!

p.s. funny things is, you can cram 200 gigs of ram into these! that is just wrong!

Liar. You just use it for Porn. My next monitor is going to be a 72" plasma HDTV. Top that.

Me too. What I like doing is rotating my cinema display 90º to display full single page Manga and comics at 2-3 times original size. Cool!

There's not really any point in it. I don't do a lot of serious processor intensive things, or only occasionally. It's just nice to know that it's basically stock so it's dead-reliable.

However, I have considered cracking the water cooling unit and piping it to an underground heat sink. As such I should be able to halve the processor temperature and stop these fans from running constantly. Unfortunately I may have to move in the next few months so I won't be playing that game soon.

I think you meant 20 gigs of RAM, not 200, and it's actually only 16 gigs. Mine only holds 8, and most PCs top out at 4! Yes, it is wrong. I like wrong.
You may be interested in this. Click me.

In any case, I like your new silencers. I would buy a pair, but I have other evil thoughts on my mind...
