lol so true. and the copper heatpipe on the GPU Heatsink is soldered on, they were too cheap to do it right O_o

Typical corporation, listen to the money not the sense.

Alright, makes sense. Generally though the system can provide enough power. Though there is one point I'm going to have to disagree with "The thermal compound was a decent one" When I took mine apart, it was ceramic based TIM. It might be different on Elites.

I'm not trying to argue with you, merely trying to offer an alternate method. Now, I built my own laptop cooling pad (What can I say, I didn't want to drop $80), and it is hooked up to a 12v power supply scavenged from a old external HDD. There are 3 fans running off of this power source, but they are not drawing 36v from it (otherwise it would burn out). Have you ever built a computer? If you have, you may know that many case fans run off of molex (4 pin / IDE) connectors, and are chained together (by design) because most people don't have enough connectors to power everything. Example pics below. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq4/zavagnqu/1102102145a.jpg As you can see, there is the original connector, with two fans "Daisy Chained" onto it. (Sorry for the quality, taken via cell phone)

Okay, first off, most fans (assuming 80mm) use approx. 1.5w, so null. Also, I'm not quite following your second argument.

Some are for my parents new build, others for mine. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq4/zavagnqu/1025101505a.jpg The RAM and PSU and 430 are going into my parent's PC. My old Mobo and CPU are going to them to. I'm taking the 955 and Deluxe4. The Deluxe4 is proving to be a bitch to set up, which is why I'm taking it. I love challenges.

lol, Jet Ski across the Pacific Ocean

You can also strip the new fan's wires and splice them into the stock fan's

Did not like 3 years ago, probably won't now. I'll stick to W-BB

Never used it.

THIS...IS....SPARTA!!!!!

No

You didn't seem to get my point. I understand it cannot track motion, but what I'm saying is that MS is going cheap here including such a shitty camera

You do realize that my brother's pocket video camera (Size of a 2nd gen Nano) can record 1080p @60fps... and it cost him less than kinect. In my opinion, gaming under 40fps kinda...sucks.

<br /><br /><br /> PC specs?

None of those appeal to me whatsoever

I wanted to guess. I would have guessed cbpwnrs

You could make a skin for chrome, but it would be very limited (as they all are).

In theory, if I was treating this as a computer drive, I would convert the file system, try wiping the free space, then converting it back to the original file system. Unfortunately, I don't know if you could do that.

I had an HDD die like that once, but it was from it falling. Were you able to recover your files?
