My wife has a hell of a system:
Q6600
Abit server board
4gb RAM
Raptor drives in 0
1tb of storage directly linked from our server
blah blah blah
Well the system goes down and is reporting an error code 8.3. so I look that up and its power. So I figure ok, the PSU died. So I buy a new one. Two days later the new one arrives. I plug in just the ATX main supply and the
12v supply. Starts right up. SWEEET. Plug everything else in and error code 8.3.
WTF!
So I go through each and every part reversing one at a time and get everythign unplugged and still error code 8.3. So I'm sitting there looking and the stupid ass front plugs, which are powered, had broken free and were shorting on the case. I unplug that (a floppy connection) and baam. back up and running.
Didn't even need to buy the flipping 80 dollar PSU.

Although logical, I think I'll hold onto it as I have a spare motherboard and proc in the basement that I dont' even know what it is. LOL All I know is it is a 775 pin Intel *shrug*.
What are we talking about? Something pertaining to pron?

Different earbuds, the filters, carrying cases etc. High end stuff right there. I'm doing a head-to-head on these vs. the Shure SE-530

137 (free shipping)
Trying to sell my turbines and my Shure SCL3's off to cover the price (turbines are nice, but too heavy to workout with and a bit too bass heavy for me) Shure's just plain suck :P Do not get SCL3's, I don't like them. Good going to the store headphones and nothing better.
Now the 530's are just about as good as it gets right now. I've heard these compare, I want to see if that is true. I picked up the 530's for 280 on amazon (hell of a deal).

Used them for about an hour tonight at the gym. Fantastic sound (not up to the SE-530, but whateva) and they are not even broken in yet.
Price is relative ;)
Oh, I know it isn't up to your levels there big guy, but I did a pretty nice bench run last week.

E2G's have some of the best midrange extending down to low end that I've heard. The 530's have separate drivers which really pushes the bass out. I have only been somewhat happen with the lower SE line and the SCL line is junk IMO.
SCL2's are not E2g's. Hell, SCL4 isn't E2G.

209 currently. I am on light weights high rep this week and then next week is hell week for me. I do 5 sets of 5 at max weight for the entire week. Then I have a whole week off, then I take a week off and switch to cutting for the spring/summer.

Me actually. To quote P90x, I utilize muscle confusion (did it long before they trademarked that shit) but I need to rest my joints before I go balls to the wall like that.
I've been lifting for about 8 years, but really have taken the time to learn and utilize technique over the last 2 years. All of my gains have happened in the last 2 years. I'm still not a great bencher (maxed 335 2 weeks ago) but compared to what I used to do, I'm very pleased. I don't squat almost anything because I have bad knees and I run in the summer (used to do marathons, half marathons team marathons with my wife and friends) and cycled long trips (Columbus to Cleveland is a sweet ride)
Just started doing deadlifts about 3 weeks ago. At 315 right now.

Agreed on both. Although I meant our Tapout is a beast. His size angers me LOL. Not to mention he has genetics to help it all out.
