Warlock : (06 February 2012 - 09:07 PM) This will be my new toy this Saturday - http://www.bestbuy.c...6&skuId=2769576
Theredbaron : (06 February 2012 - 04:11 AM) Life, tiss full of FARK YOU! Moments.
Warlock : (05 February 2012 - 09:20 AM) LOL :D
Theredbaron : (05 February 2012 - 02:57 AM) Haha, that is the same for me, cept with newegg. :) I checked both stores, cause they are both "good" ones, but newegg was always cheaper for what I wanted, Also, hen I ordered my case it said it would be a week or so to get here, got here in 2 days.
Warlock : (04 February 2012 - 01:27 PM) I'm a Tiger fan but only because when ever I've looked for stuff, Tiger always had what I needed and usually cheaper than NewEgg. I even get great delivery time with Tiger. A lot faster than what's stated! :D
Theredbaron : (03 February 2012 - 07:07 PM) I ended up getting one that tiger didn't have, so :P to tiger.
Theredbaron : (03 February 2012 - 07:07 PM) No where near. Tiger is nothing compared to Newegg. When I built my computer, they only had like, 20 vid cards. Newegg had over 100.
Warlock : (03 February 2012 - 11:05 AM) Tiger and NewEgg are roughly the same. Same selection, same prices. LOL
Theredbaron : (02 February 2012 - 03:59 PM) Eh, more of a newegg man myself. Fark tiger. They have shitty selection.
Warlock : (02 February 2012 - 10:37 AM) Check places like Tiger Direct! :D They always have some great deals going on.
Theredbaron : (01 February 2012 - 08:43 PM) Last I checked they were up 20-30 plus. But I haven't checked in a bit. Not since about a week or two after the big floods.
Warlock : (01 February 2012 - 08:52 AM) I haven't seen much change in prices. I've seen a bunch go down. :D
Theredbaron : (31 January 2012 - 05:26 PM) The bad thing is that now all the prices are going up. DAMN YOU GOD! YOUR FLOODS MAKE ME SPEND MORE!
Warlock : (31 January 2012 - 11:02 AM) LOL :D
Theredbaron : (30 January 2012 - 05:07 PM) You sir, are an arse. Need me a new drive, or 10.
Warlock : (30 January 2012 - 12:43 PM) You asked for it - 128MB Lexar Jump Drive, 2GB Kingston DataTraveler, 4GB PNY Optima SDHC (Digital Camera), 32GB Class 10 Adata SDHC (Camcorder), 8GB SanDisk Micro SDHC (my DS), 2GB Micro SD (wife/daughter's DS), 32GB Transcend SDHC Class 10 (Wii - DML), two 2GB Kodak SD, four 2GB SanDisk SD, 4GB Micro SDHC (Wii). All those 2GB SD cards I had for my Rock Band 3 DLC until I was able to emulate the NAND! :D
Theredbaron : (29 January 2012 - 02:49 PM) Lol, yes. O, just remembered more. I also have a 4gb nano g1 and a 4gb nano g2
Warlock : (29 January 2012 - 01:25 PM) LOL No, I just own a lot of electronics! :D

Naru is still working on this thing.
Got the speakers wired up.
There are 4 of them, and the 1 Bass speaker.
Wait...that makes 5.
Well, there's five speakers then.

Got some nice LED's around the keyboard.
Looks spiffy in the dark, the camera flash washed them out
in the picture.

You can download the little (really crappy) video clip if
you want to hear the machine.

http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=...NARU_ARCADE.AVI

There's a 15 inch Widescreen HD LCD TV in there now.
However it looks a tad bit small.
Naru can fit a 20 inch Widescreen HD LCD TV in there...So
maybe Naru will buy one come Friday.

Do you guys think 5 inches will be a lot better?
That's gonna' cost Naru another $600.

There's still a lot to do.
Need to get a router and
cut the opening for the trackball.

Some small sanding and then some painting.

Add all the plexiglass.

Then wiring up some more of the LED light-up buttons.

Probably will have the underside light up with
cold cathodes similar to those hot rod street cars.

Here is a really quick color mockup.

Also please remember to vote whether

As for the monitor I voted to stay with the 15 inch, i mesn its only 5 more inches for another 600$ its your choice but id stay with how it is now. I know youve mentioned it before but what all exactly is this gonna play?

kefkadman: people say im weird tho, maybe they just dont feel enough
Stephanie z: People don't feel enough. People don't like feeling at all. Feeling makes them uncomfortable. It reminds them they're not perfect. No one wants to be sad or angry or scared or unsure. They think that all they need is happiness. So they push everything out. They numb themselves to it until when the time comes for them to actually feel, they can't. They don't know how. They've fixed themselves in a way so that they can't even be happy. In the end they sort of just exist. You're not like that, and they're not used to it.

It will run anything
a PC can run.

Got Street Fighter Alpha 3 running

Thanks guys!
It's true
these things tend to be a money pit.

If you ever do decide to build one,
feel free to ask Naru anything.
Naru has learned a lot of tricks
along the way.

A long time.
Mostly Naru has to save money to
buy tools and parts.
That's the reason it's taking so long.
Naru also had to self learn
splicing wires and different electrical work.
It's geek fun,or something to do if
your a dork like Naru!

Ok then,
Naru has purchased the larger monitor.
It will take a few days to be delivered.
So we'll have to wait
to see how much difference it makes.
