Even if you get past the guard the electricity bill gives it away :o

Don't show her the electricity Bill, You could just hide it a replace it with an older month's one. I'm sure they'd never cotton on. :P

Hey,

I was only kidding.  ::)
My wife is Japanese and has a black belt in origami. She doesn't trust me with money and thinks that I already spend too much on PC and music gear.

Do you really believe that I, a mere mortal, could actually get anything past her? I'm sure she trained as a Ninja before we met and no matter how hard I try she always manages to find those little tell tale signs of a new purchase.  :'(

@DarkMantis : Lol. Well yeah I wouldn't try and go against that beast.

Well if your wife is trained as a ninja, a black belt of the dark arts, I would more be worried about your wellfare than your computer ;)

Take your computer and RUN! Run! whilst you have the chance! :P

You can borrow my shovel after I've finished digging! Not sure if I'm digging for the Nitrogen tank or to bury the missus though!  :P

absic115, have you finished with that shovel yet? I take it the wife is still well? How big a LN2 tank are you putting in?

Sorry, still waiting on the Council and Local School for permission. Got hold of an old LOX tank from NASA which is being shipped as we speak, it looks about 4" tall in the photograph so I don't think there will be too many problems with it.

The wife is OK but still confused. I am having trouble converting some of the chemical names and expressions into Japanese. I think, at the moment, she is under the impression that I am getting a big German Sausage that I am going to try and grow in the garden. Ah.....bless!

Hey Gilgamesh,
so that's what you've been up to. I was beginning to think you had given up on us soft Southerner's, and run off to find some REAL men!  :D

Have you still get your fingers? Playing around with extreme cooling can be hazardous to your digits and you have to be ultra careful not to splin any in your lap!  :o

Yep buddy let me get these gigabyte reviews out of the way first and then ill get the guide sorted.

I have already taken photos but was with a Foxconn board, now the insulation guide is the same no matter what board it is, BUT i dont think GBT will approve ofit with a FC board.

By the way i bought a foxconn flaming Blade GT for cheap (x58) and its UTTER pants!
