How is your underarmour gear? I was thinking of getting the Men's ColdGear UA Metal Mock and the Men's HeatGear Loose Longsleeve. I heard that it gives you more resistance when training. ie. Using training gloves while lifting weights vs Bare hands. Let me know, because I don't want to spend all that cash without the benefits of improve my training. I weight lift and run. Thanks.
I just use the compression shorts and shorts for when I jog to prevent chaffing and to whisk away the sweat. When I get more money, I'm gonna buy the Metal Mock too for when it gets cold out. My UnderArmour works great for what I use it for.

Yeah, I think I'll invest in the ColdGear first because of the upcoming winter. Best thing ever is UnderArmour, whisking away sweat!? Believe me, my cotton clothing is pretty much ruin to all the sweat I disperse. :D How are the shorts? Heavy? My shorts are just the regular shorts from Sports Chek and their pretty heavy in terms of running.

More underarmour.:D

Pics with you wearing them would be far more attractive.


I got a SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Gator - not made from real gator, don't worry - the only thing it lacks is a place where I can put a string or a key chain. Otherwise, I love the design - Cost $20.00 at Wal-Mart.

I got 7 pocket folders - one for each of my classes.

I was gonna buy Season 1 of Prison Break on BlueRay, but I didn't want to spend $75 on it.

yeh but your heat sink fan is not facing the exhaust fan. thats why i was wondering if it matters having hot air blowing away from the exhaust fan. (unless your back fan is intake?). im probably missing the point though as ive never built my own PC… YET!
My heatsink's fan *is* facing the exhaust fan. Airflow in that photo is from right to left; the fan on the heatsink blows air through the heatsink from right to left, with the hot air being blown straight into the exhaust fan which then blows it out the back of the case.

IDK if those are the shorts (the ones I gave the link to) I actually have; I couldn't tell from the pic. The ones I have are super lightweight. They're 100% polyester and they don't ride-up when you're jogging like cotton shorts do. I say go to Sports Authority (or whatever you have that sells UA) and look at them and see how they feel - that's what I did. If you're going to be jogging, I highly recommend getting the these. They work great at keeping you dry and prevent chaffing. They also help keep you dry in your crotch region.

LMFAO

The ones I got are white sooooo... you see right thru them. You pretty much see everything.:eek:

:( NOOOOOOOO!!!! I was trying to use my paypal $ before the credit card... yeah, thats a good excuse to keep myself sane :p

I actually just bought this and had the same mindset, so I used the paypal plugin, worked great, it basically gives you a virtual credit card number that you can use and then it will take the money right out of your paypal account.

Sounds like compression shorts work well for you, but if it gets too hot for 2 pairs of shorts, Body Glide works really well for chafing. I use it under my arms when I run in tank tops and it keeps my skin from rubbing.

I just go on the treadmill when it's too hot to go outside. Also, I need the compression shorts for support so I don't have to keep... errrr... adjusting.

I am in the same boat. Even at $1299 it must be a good buy !
I have a D40 as of now. HD video recording is a killer feature. Live view LCD is a plus too !! :cool:

The video feature is hot... Wish the offered lens was a little better. Maybe they'll have a second kit....

I paid nothing for it, my mum paid £90, considering the same specs on eBay cost £149 (it had 512 more RAM, but that only costs £16), I think that's good.

1.25GHz
512Mb RAM (plan on making 1Gb)
Mac OSX 10.4
40Gb HD (I plan on upgrading or getting an external one)
