woah your right only 4 there thats weird for a core i7 board...

also i think the dlc for gears 2 should work with gears 1 and halo 3 as well, this is all nonsense whining who cares, if it pisses you off that bad don't buy it valve will wipe away their tears with 100 dollar bills (that they rightfully earned)

me me me pick me

Offer Cable channels ala cart so I don't have to pay for lifetime or the outdoor channel or whatever the 20 or so channels i click through to get what i want to watch, in fact also i don't want to pay for the SD versions of channels I already have in HD cause I don't watch them anymore, so get those off. All and all I only watch about 10 channels max so I shouldn't be paying for others to watch the other 110 or so that i have and don't use

I don't want to pay for grandmas to watch lifetime

no 360 does not have hulu, ps3 does through it's browser but i wasn't super impressed with it, it doest do full screen right

I have been following the EEE box b208 vs. Acer Ion box vs. Mac mini - comparisons for a while I finally just pulled the trigger on the Mini a 2 weeks ago. This is what sold me the mini was $150 more expensive than the projected models I was looking at (I added the extra 1gb of ram so it would unlock the extra vram for the 9400m). With that 150 I also received an internal slot loading dvd drive (loud as hell but whatever) a 2.0ghz core2duo instead of an atom. Nicer aluminum casing (debatable, esp if you want to attach it to the back of your tv which is not an option afaik with the mini). OSX is native, I am sure there will be hackintosh ions and eeeboxes everywhere but there is something to being able to just stick in the discs and go or update without having to look at forums first for me at least. With OSX comes Boxee, Plex or XBMC (sure boxee does support windows now but i have it on both and OSX still feels like the favored son, also boxee/plex doesn't do gpu acceleration right now so no 1080p there). More usb ports = more externals. Those were my deciding factors if the atom machines were fully equipped for around 300-350 i would feel differently but 500 is too much for an atom desktop for me right now i would rather have a mini

Ps the mini displayport to hdmi adapter works great

Ya, unfortunately it looks like my parking lot is being targeted, this was the third such break in in the last 6 months, so until I move somewhere else I gotta hold off or risk it happening again

My Evo IX and I disagree strongly It was just recently broken into robbed for everything including the seats, so much damage was cause that it was totaled. The cops here in Fairfax insist that since the economy is in the can car stereo theft is at an all time high.
