A friend of mine is looking to build his first gaming PC and here's what he's come up with:

Meet

220 @ 85 was good for third in the men's 85 open division. (Out of three, haha.) 220 is actua

Umphrey's drives me crazy and constantly inserts quick little musical allusions in their live shows. I was at this particular show and I've been trying to figure it out for days.

You can hear the song on the embedded player at this site: http://www.archive.org/details/um2011-12-31.flac16

The riff I'm talking about happens at 2:44 into the song.

After some revisions based on my previous posts, and the 560ti vs 6950 thread today, I think I'm finally ready to go ahead and pull the trigger. Just want to make sure there aren't any glaring mistakes here.

My original budget was $600, which thanks to Microcenter I'll actually come pretty close to. (With the cpu+mobo deal that total should actually be $60 less.) Hard drives and OS have already been acquired.

I posted earlier this week asking if I should upgrade or build a new rig, and decided to just go for it. I realized that I can get to a Microcenter to get CPU+mobo, and my old computer can be a serious upgrade for my parents. (lol Pentium 4.)

Currently I mostly play SC2 and TF2, but with a new system I'll probably finally play more recent games.

So my current computer has started feeling pretty sluggish, and from reading this subreddit, I've become increasingly worried my PSU is unde

I'm wearing a hat next time I compete.

Linked to the exact spot. It's just that little riff.

When you sing "Hail to the Orange" at a sporting event, can we stop the business with the "sssss" after Illinois. Come on. You know how to pronounce it. I will yell "No S" every time this happens.

Second, at football games, shouldn't the ILL-INI chant be reserved for defensive stands. This was always my understanding, but lately I've noticed we do it a lot on offense. The idea is to throw off the opposing offense, not ours.

Or maybe I'm an idiot.
