I'm an architect. I'll just be over here, telling you that it'd look so much better if you'd just undersize the ductwork some and not put the breaker boxes... anywhere, really, and does there really need to be a beam there?

Horrendous Space Kablooie is covered by LTI and available for shenanigans as needed.

EVE was never terribly dangerous in highsec. Sure the Goons could hurt you some with Hulkageddeon or Burn Jita, but for the most part, if you stayed in highsec and didn't attract the attention of a griefer wardec, you could do as you pleased with out fear of harrassment from other players. The...

Only a two button mouse? No sale. I mean, crap, for that price it should at least come with a TrackMan.

A refueling wing may be useful for Talis, since they won't be able to operate off of anything smaller than an escort carrier. Some kind of planetside logistics and ops group may be required as well, since most of the time they'll be rearming and repairing at a forward operating base rather than...

Norton II, Emperor of the Internets and Lord Protector of the Lesser Tubes, thanks you for your well wishes.

Shows up as 1134x169 here, but it'd break the layout, so the forum is resizing it. 900px wide is short enough that it won't need to be auto-resized.

My Tali, Horrendous Space Kablooie, will participate. Crewmembers welcome!

To my mind, that's huge. The vertical dimension is the killer here - the farther I have to scroll to get to the next bit of interesting content, the worse. most folks are going to be browsing the forums on 1080p-class screens, so after you take into account menu bars and the like, 400px...

For the sake of sanity, other places I've been to have actually had to institute forum rules regarding sig sizes. I think phpBB actually has a plugin to enforce a max size, too, though I'm not sure about XenForo. Another option is to disable images in sigs entirely, but encourage tall...

I just got a new battlestation for my rig, so I figured I'd arise from the grave to share it! The desk is an IKEA special, but it's big enough for nearly all of my monitors! Yaay! @Snowianth, what's the desktop you've got made from? There's a subtle fiberglass-twill look going on there...

Today was a good day: I got a roadkill bonus. While flying a Mosquito. Connery: ThrashDog (TR) Emerald: TopDeadCenter (VS)

I can't say I'd recommend a build that relied on Crossfire. AMD's dual-GPU solutions haven't proven to be good value for money, and they still seem to have more driver issues with frame pacing and game support. AMD has some great single GPU options, but if you really want dual cards (or two...

@GrammarGestapo, You might want to check the reviews before you throw out claims like that. Crucial has a solid reputation and they're a brand of Micron, who make all their flash chips in a joint venture with Intel (who you may have heard of before :p). The 512GB MX100 sits right at the...

Looks pretty solid, though as Seung suggested an SSD system drive is a fairly low-cost, high-impact improvement. I'd throw a 256GB Crucial MX100 in there. I assume you will be reusing your current case? If it is a full ATX case, I'd stick with a full ATX board, but if you're going to get a...
