Typical US government inefficiency, I tell you. All those wasted man-hours infecting primates with the precursor disease and waiting for it to make the jump.

Alienware and Digital Storm make ITX builds that utilize riser-cards and external power supplies to cram the system into an XBOX-sized form factor, and you can probably get one (at least a refurb) for around what you're looking at.

+ somewhere between 1900 to 1908

I bet Indians don't feel that strongly about the name at all.

I'd go with an i3-2105, it's always nice to have the full HD3000 GPU available. If form factor isn't a big concern, pick up a solid Micro ATX H77 board (ASRock sells a fairly solid one for about $75) along with some RAM (I'd say 4GB or 8GB). You'll only need a 300W PSU or so, Seasonic sells a solid 300W unit that…

And as far as I know, he's never actually apologized or even really admitted publicly any wrongdoing. You admit to and request forgiveness for a mistake. It's my opinion that once you've tried to cloak your actions in a shroud of religious fervor and "team leadership" you've moved on from just making a mistake.

Agreed. The standard Thin Mini-ITX cooler from Intel dissipates up to 65W, enough for a Sandy Bridge dual core, or one of the low power quad cores. That kind of performance is more than sufficient for most applications in a non-gaming home PC application, or for most desktops in an office environment.

Okay, agreed that Kennesaw Mountain Landis was a moralizing prick, but under the circumstances, taking action against the Black Sox (regardless of their acquittal) seems warranted to me, not because of the "integrity of the game" (as such) but because that nebulous "integrity" put (and still puts) asses in the seats. …

MKV lets you preserve multiple audio and subtitle tracks and chapter markers, which is perfect for use with the MediaPortal, Plex or XBMC, all of which fully support the container out of the box. Media Player Classic, VLC, PotPlayer, and KMPlayer all have full support for MKV, and there are any number of codec packs…

As pointed out in the Deadspin Round Table last year, most defenses worried so little about Tim Tebow's ability to pass that they virtually guaranteed that any vaguely accurate semi-long pass would go for huge yardage if the receive could get to it. What I don't know is if the statistics say that he was just more…

As far as I know, Diablotek doesn't make an 80+ Gold PSU. Antec does, and most of them are built like tanks by Delta, one of the better PSU OEMs around. Most of the rest of Antec's current stable of supplies are built by Seasonic, who also builds most of Corsair's current lineup.

Well, I bought a BitFenix Prodigy, put a 3.5'' hot-swap bay in the optical drive bay, so there's room for exactly 6 drives there. I'm using an ASUS C-60 ITX board with 8GB of RAM and FreeNAS installed on a USB stick.

That's not how it works. Rihanna getting back together with Chris Brown does not suddenly make him less of a terrible human being. The mother of Brent's passenger forgiving Brent is really her deal. If that helps her grieve, great, but it doesn't make Josh Brent any less of a negligent asshole, and the Cowboys…

You wouldn't consider drinking and then driving to be his fault? It's not like he accidentally got into the car and started driving, he ignored any number of excellent, safe options and instead chose a dangerous one that directly resulted in his friend's death.

A full NAS enclosure is connected to your network via ethernet (ideally) and is essentially a purpose-built PC with a special OS designed to give access to the drives over the network.
