Allow me to introduce you my new Halloween costume!
AHAHAHHAHAHA
possibly the best costume i have ever seen!!!
I think(?)this might be a little inaccurate? I have a airport extreme and bought a airport express to extend/enhance my wifi in my house. There were "dead zones" in my house, so I bought this a put it at the opposite end of my house from where my extreme is and now I have perfect signal strength everywhere. ...Hopefully its not my imagination that the airport expressed fixed thisI don't believe you can use it to extend your network, just have it be part of your network (to use wireless printer and airtunes without switching to a second network)
Send me a PM if you want more information
***EDIT: I also just checked my settings on my routers via Airport Utilities and my Airport Extreme says "Create a wireless network" and my Airport Express says "Extended a wireless network"*** Hopefully I'm not wrong with all of this

You are correct - you can definitely use Airport Express to extend a Wireless network (I've got several in use at the moment). You actually get two options - Extend a network (use that if you're extending an Airport Extreme / Airport express network) or Participate in a WDS network (for generic WDS support on networks created by other base stations)
This was my last purchase. Extra sausage.
Now that looks good. I have toyed with the idea of becoming a lacto vegetarian and using animal products like cheese and eggs, but not meats. I have tried unsuccessfully and for both ethical reasons and medical ones (I take Zocor), so I better get off the salami, hamburgers, and fried chicken.
Oh Damn, I'm cooking a good old English Sunday roast but i could sure as damnit eat a nice pizza! Might have to grab one after footy

Last time I got one of those, the store closed and then I was stuck with a part that didn't work with any the components I used even though I followed the compatibility list
bought this about 2 hours ago
along with 6 gigs of DDR3 and a Asus x58 board
Get yourself a new heatsink/fan. The stock one is junk.
But seriously, hold onto your seat, because this CPU flys at stock, and OC'ed to 3.6-4GHz, it absolutely screams.
Thats a really decent price given that the CPU retails for around 800-1000.
Will definitely make a sexy Hackintosh.
I don't have an Airport Extreme as my main router. Maybe that's why I couldn't see that option on my Express.
Also tried setting up a WDS with my netgear router but couldn't get that to work either.
My apologies.
yeah I was happy with the price
I may update it to a core i7 if they are put on the compatibility list

that would be unfortunate
Do you guys think that the 550W power supply will be enough
Not bought a new set, but had to send the front passenger side one to get refurbished today after kerbing it on Friday
