    Engineering Society of Drunk Engineers - TEST's very own Engineering Squad

    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?

    I guess we made it to 4chan ^^

    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...

    Show off your rig!

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

    Bomber Squadron?

    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...

    Signature size limit?

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

    Signature size limit?

    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.

    Bomber Squadron?

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

    Signature size limit?

    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...

    Signature size limit?

    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...

    Show off your rig!

    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...

    Its official, my computer is done. Time to upgrade.

    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...

    Its official, my computer is done. Time to upgrade.

    @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...

    Its official, my computer is done. Time to upgrade.

    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...

    Show off your rig!

    Looks like it's still a very capable machine! Does it handle the DFM well, or are there issues with SLI?

    Show off your rig!

    The guys who designed the case did a fantastic job. They set out specifically to fit the highest-power components they could get into the smallest volume possible, and used every trick in the book to make it work. Thank god all of that will run off a 450W SFX power supply, though, or I don't...

    Show off your rig!

    As you might guess for a case this tight, thermals are OK but not great. The CPU does fine, but the the GPU runs a bit hotter than I'd like -- though it's stable and doesn't seem to have any heat-soak issues. I may duct the GPU's impeller to try and help a bit. My biggest concern is that my...

    Show off your rig!

    So I was dusting out my computer this evening, and happened to notice my camera sitting nearby. I thought to myself, "Self, you should take some pictures of your awesome PC and post them to the intertubes for imaginary points!" Turns out that when you try to cram as many parts as possible into...
