big news.......

I shaved.

an god dam thats big news.

Yay, finally got through ... Asked if the panel was available in matte, the answer is no. Asked what type of panel it was, he said LCD, I explained to him that there are several different types of LCD panels (IPS, MVA, PVA, TN+Film) and that I'm working w/ digital photography where an IPS panel is preferred for its uniformity and colour accuracy. He put me back on hold

I have a feeling this is going to be a long phone call ...

rofl you should have known better than to ask a person over the phone what kind of Panel is being used. He was probably like "uhhhhhhhhhhh." I wish I could afford IPS panels, Either a Dell or Nec. heh. Go Go TN panel!!!

I see Apple also updated the Mac Mini today, as well. Hmm, if it's not an IPS panel on the iMac, I might just advise my GF to get a Mac Mini w/ 2 GB of RAM, a decent 24" monitor (i.e. Dell 2407WFP-HC), and a 500 GB external hard drive for around $1650 instead of getting the 24" iMac for $2450 ($800 difference + taxes = ~$900 difference total) ...

CPU:

Mini - 2 GHz Core 2 Duo

iMac - 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo

Memory:

Mini - 2 GB PC2-5300 SODIMM

iMac - 2 GB PC2-5300 SODIMM

Hard Drive:

Mini - 120 GB SATA + 500 GB External

iMac - 500 GB SATA

Graphics:

Mini - Intel GMA 950 integrated

iMac - ATI HD 2600 Pro GDDR3

Obviously the integrated graphics are a huge disadvantage and the CPU is a LOT faster in the iMac, but I can buy a lot of chit for $900 ...

what the heck does SODIMM mean. I mean I know what a DIMM is(dual inline memory module) but I don't recall this SO-dimm you speak of ;x.

I hope I get a p9 this time.....I got screwed out of the last P9 deal I tried to make. If I don't get this one I'll forever just go the h701 route. Only problem is, I have no idea were to buy the DEQ, guess I'll have to keep an eye out on ebay.

single Optical or single Output?

Need to get yet another gallon of resin tomorrow. 4th one in the last 2 months. Too bad I can't find a bulk source around here.

Huffing that stuff has become an expensive habit for you.

dunno if i posted this already, but this is pretty much all i accomplished today...

well that and getting the s/c back on the engine. I really wish i would have been able to clean the other parts of the engine but at this stage i just want this thing running, fudge the looks

LOoks great Matt. Personally I don't like polished engines so eff it and get her running . Functional and clean is all that is necessary.

i need car help again, ordering exhaust wrap, (err header wrap?). two questions..

#1. woven ceramics VS fiberglass which is more effective? i don't care about much else, just which one works better and is there enough of a difference for me to give a damn

#2. how much do i need? most is 2" wide, remember i only have a v-6 but i still have the crossover pipe as well, i'm guessing 20-25' would be plenty but it seems 50' rolls are the norm.

I have no idea, but if no one is able to help let me know and I will call one of the engineers at 3M's cat engineering center for you.

You are trying to make me jealous.
