Alright. Also, the authorization failed.

"This failed authorization may have resulted from an invalid debit or credit card number, incorrect expiration date, insufficient funds or exceeding a daily limit."

I think I have a 300$ limit on my card, although I was sure it worked online. Sigh. I'll have to see if I can use my dad's, then pay him back.

Edit: Yep, that's it. I tried it again:

"Payment Declined

The card issuer has declined to authorize payment."

I hate my bank.



None.

Check the thermal roundup reviews Johnny, OCZ out performs the MX-2.

You can hand me all the reviews all you want but based on personal experience, I do not see much of a temp change between using Mx-2 and OCZ.
(I rather buy tech and review it myself than trust a review)

US average is 12 c / kWh. 5 hours of computer use costs 12 cents. 30 minutes of dryer use costs 24 cents.

Average does not work with power because electric bills are usually on tiered structure that increase cost rate as you use more energy. (I pay partial on tier 2 sometimes tier 3 :flamer: )
(how can average work? most people pay tier 1)
And even if that number was true .12 x 365 = $43.8 (I dont know how you value your dollar but thats alot to me)

200 W/70% = 286 W. 200/80% = 250 W. 286-250 = 36 W. 36 W * 5 h = 180 Wh. 180 Wh/day * 365 days * 12 cent/kWh = $5.72. Excuse me if I'm unimpressed, especially considering my power is $.09/kWh.

Alright, I'm going to burrow my father's card. One last thought before I finalize this:

The monitor I'm buying: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254040

I have never used Hanns-G, and I've noticed quite a few reviews report dead pixels. You can't return it unless there are several DPs. Are you positive this is a good recommendation?



None.

The sword and the faith

I stake my reputation on every last component. And if there are any DPs the reports mostly put them at the edges, so they'd be of little consequence. Honestly if you're worried about 2-3 DPs I can find you something more expensive, but that monitor is an absolute steal.

Alright, thanks for the assurance. I'll take your word for it. :)

For anyone that was going to use this for a build in the near future: don't buy the retention bracket that was mounted. It doesn't fit and was meant for a different cooler. You want the 17751, not the 17753.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?

Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.

Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?
[06:47 pm]
Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.
