Yeah, done it before. Actually, Win8 handles MoBo changes really well. I had this SSD setup in the old i5 machine with a I97 based chipset and just popped it into the Z800 and it installed the necesary basics and has been working perfectly stable for a few months. if it wasnt for these PSU's failing...

Well, for all my ladeedah'ing about the Z800 I got for free, my now second PSU is starting to flake on it, and at 100+ a pop to replace them, it's not worth the aggravation. Just ordered a new ASRock X99 Mobo, I7 4790 and 16GB Crucial DDR4-2400 RAM. At least my GTX970 will finally be happy. May pop ...

I havent worn a watch in 20 years. If I was buying, I'd get the new Pebble with the color screen. At least it's usable.

If I recall they run a special API for apps to display stuff on the edge so you can view status updates and the like from the side without having to power on the whole screen.

Pengo, try Beyondpod. I am very happy with it.

Aside from that, that Pono is a joke. Comparing low res MP3 to anything in this day and age smacks of snake oil advertising. I am sure they recommend buying Audioquest's 700 dollar USB cable to ensure perfect quality.

I thought the gameplay was entertaining, but the price point is out of line IMO. I will simply wait until all the extra content is out and then buy a complete pack for 30-40 bucks, which is the price point the game feels like to me. I hate it when companies nickle and dime me, and the last game I bo...

If you purchased Fraps, you have other framerates, but they are hard set so if you set it to 60 and drop below that, the recording will go down to 30 instead of say, 55. The Nvidia drivers on newer cards have a very efficient x.264 encoder, but quality is middle of the road. I usually bounce between...
