I had some of those (different colour) & the bass was apalling! Took them back a couple days later.

A 2GB Samsung T10 for my girlfriend. Honestly, this little thing is pretty cool. Samsung is probably one of my favourite electronics companies. The only reason I really uuse Macs/iPods is because of Mac OS X and iTunes. If someone has made a Samsung plugin for Mac/iTunes support, I might just get one of these instead of a new nano if the capacities are large enough.

Was a bargain too. $49. Screen is brilliant. Audio quality is on par if not better than the iPod, and it even has Bluetooth!

Besides that, iPods just aren't all that cool anymore. :( They were back in the old days of first, second, and third generations. Now not so much. Damn you, successful Apple!

It was a lil surprise from me mum.:D

The problem with that is people who are bad at English won't be able to read it since they have to spell the letters out in their heads. Doesn't make them any dumber.

I too gave these headphones a thought but then decided not to get them... I feel that although they might be comfortable, the sound quality (bass specifically) might not be great because of small drivers.
In my opinion the HS500 is probably the best cheapest headphone out there. I have once which is more than 2 years old. Has undergone heavy usage and a dip in the pool (and survived!!). Still sounds great. The SHS5200 came as a successor but I still love the HS500 more !

You might if you worked for them. ;) The watches are swiss-made and built like a tank, but yes they are expensive. And I buy friends/family a couple pairs of Oakley socks during the holidays and they always come back to me asking if I can get them another pair. They all say they are the most comfortable socks ever. :D I'm not a fan of the shoes, but I love their tech boots.

Well yes, I'm sure if I wanted to drop the money on a nice watch, I'd go straight to Oakley. But I just don't wear watches.

You don't need large drivers to get good bass response. Try listening to a stock pair of Koss SparkPlugs & you'll agree that they have far too much bass! Of course, when properly modified they're a damned sweet set of cans for the price :) Wonder where mine got to...

ive wanted to ask this for a while and i thought i may as well ask it now.

ive seen this a lot in PC tower setups but does it matter if the heatsink fan does not face the exhaust fan? im thinking of getting a heatsink for my new PC with an integrated fan so it has enough space to face the exhaust.

For a tower-style HSF it is always best to have it oriented so that the hot air will be expelled straight into an exahaust fan. With something like my heatsink, the Xigmatech HDT-S2183, you can orient it in any of the 4 directions because the LGA775 mounting holes are a perfect square.

When building a machine you just want to think sensibly about where air is going, usually with cool air coming in from the front at the bottom & hot air being expelled at the back at the top.

That's a lovely living room you have there! Is it really yours or just a stock pic of the vacuum?
