ahh its christmas time- people are all hyped up one month before the event- decorating cooking baking and so on its a nice time especially if you sit infront of your chimney and enjoy the warm fire with a hot tea or coffee or any drink you would enjoy even the hard stuff.

Reply to Skinning Tweaking in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

i do- i use windowblinds to texture the skin and i recolor them often. I think its one of the very best functions WB has to offer. I have made some changes in skinstudio but only to the diamond skin or win8 metro-to know how certain parts work ( all in private use of course ) to the fonts i like Arial or Verdana so yeah i changed the font on some skins but only to be readable without glasses.

yes indeed it is its the b25fb they dont have the side window this way you can put foam to each side to make the rig silent.Everything louder than moving air is not acceptable for me :D The other version of that tower is the b25SB it is made as silent case and comes with noise absorbing foam already the only bad thing is that you have a fan less. The lian li b25fb is only black from the outside ^^ I was original planning to get myself a corsair graphite 600T or

MadDeez a hx1000 ?i a 1000 watt PSU is cabable of running 3 way SLI with 3x GTX580 you can run that rig without any problem on a 600 watts power supply that has a high efficiancy meaning +80. its even possible to power 2 x 560GTX ti in sli on that setup with an 600 watt PSU...it just depends if you care or dont about noise. A 1000 W would be silently singing in the breeze on this setup no doubt. Or get yourself a modern 87+ PSU I do&n

I was emailed that before my Object Desktop expires i should archive my applications in order to keep them... The only bad thing is- like it was mentioned here before ...that impuse archive will only saves impulse files not the installer itself (executeable) So i wonder how things will be when GS-impulse is no longer supported...will we be able to ( restore the saved archi
