QUOTE(dickybird @ Nov 17 2009, 07:54 AM) ok, actually if any of us want to go bling, if the budget allows and we want why not. but in my case, it is more of a question of need since in this wet weather, the front brake even with tectonics installed seems to lack bite and squeaks too much. and since discs do give better wet weather bite, it was worth a mental exercise in studying the possibilty of an upgrade. but since i will have to change wheelset also and with a lot of expenses piling up in the coming year end, i think i will kill off the idea. thanks for all those who have taken part in my tender call. See, u bling more on one thing and not bling on the other. Kekeke...but for upgrade, i think i will upgrade my gpu on my htpc from the onboard Nv 8300 to the Nv 9600 gt (green model) since it is starting to show lag when i am watching BR rips. wont cost more than a few hundred versus 1k plus for new brakes and wheels.  by the way... ur MKVs got a lot ah? Wanna sell me ur MKVs? I can bring HDD and download. He! He! He! Ops... scotty... off topic a bit. QUOTE(xandman @ Nov 17 2009, 09:15 AM) I like ur way mr dickybird. Ya.. usually it is like that... and Talas FIT overall is cheaper... When faced with two sins...choose the cheaper one! I m also doing that now.  |

On the other hand, though intriguing.. I've never really totally bought into the idea of high definition simply for the amount of storage it takes.

I've never really totally bought into the idea of high definition simply for the amount of storage it takes. TALAS?? HD is eye popping! and storage is cheap! ram is expensive right now! should have got 4gb at once when i built my htpc. |
