Made myself a new sig

[VanillaTbone]

Hey guys,

I was just screwing around with Macromedia Fireworks and thought I should make myself a sig.

Tell me what you think, what needs to be added, what can be changed.

Thanks Guys. :devil:

[Comixion]

Where is it?.......

[Zefram]

I know a thing that should be changed............ your system spec ;)
Isnt it time for an upgrades? :eek:

Anyway nice sig, all this time i'd avoid making a picture based sig cause it may cause irreparable neural damages to those who sees it. Look at comixion, his sig scares 20% of PCstats forum viewer ;)

J/K comixion, anyway, what's up with stealing CHE's avatar?

[Comixion]

lol Zef....you recognized it I see. Not many would.;)

He loaned the rights of it to me for a while. Kinda like a 30-day trial.

The words or the .gif?

...and i see you cropped that pic.
Nice av

[AKHandyman]

For once I can honestly say that the sig is photoshopped!!! :)

Can anyone tell me what American jet fighter that is? ( I know it, but does anyone else?)

[Nataku]

F/A-18 and the pilot appears to be punching out!

[AKHandyman]

That is true, but the pilot isn't bailing out ... he's actually breaking the sound barrier ... here's the real scoop: http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9753/mach11430a0b3sd6.jpghttp://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/doppler/mach1.html

Be sure to look at the movie as well! I used to be in aviation, so I knew that pic immediately. I used to take pictures of all types of aircraft when they would come and go at the Anchorage Intl Airport and other places as well.

Absolutely wiked video! :thumb:

And so what do I win?

[AKHandyman]

An all-out, expensive as hell, trip to Alaska, on your coin! Doesn't that sound exciting? :D

I'm actually trying to work that out!

My roommate and I were actually joking about getting some ghilli (SP) suits and berretta 50.cals and going extreme moose hunting!

You don't need something that extreme ... hell, don't you want to eat some of that moose? A .50 cal would blow that poor moose to smithereens! :p

It's an old picture to match an aging system. I say if you're not putting that thing to 5GHz then it's high time to ditch it for something newer.

[VanillaTbone]

Yeah, I'm trying to make it last as long as I can. Almost got all the parts in for my new system build. This is going to my fiance's(with a 8800GTS) upgrade.

My new system(ordered from newegg 2 days ago):

-XFX MB-N780-ISH9 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i $280

-Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W $280

-XFX PVT80FSHE9 GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP $390

-Patriot Viper 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1200 (PC2 9600) $115

-Antec TPQ-850 ATX12V / EPS12V 850W Power Supply $189

-Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD7500AYYS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s $200

These are what have actually been ordered. Can't wait to update this thing. I have had it for 2 yrs now. Been true to me with no problems thus far.

[AKHandyman]

Glad to see that you're moving up ... :thumb: You'll have fun with that Q9300, it's just a shame that you went with the 780i chipset ... oh well, give us some pics of the rig when you can. good luck!

[FrozenMercury]

Hey now! Slow down! You're making the rest of us look bad...

[Nataku]

You don't need something that extreme ... hell, don't you want to eat some of that moose? A .50 cal would blow that poor moose to smithereens! :p

Yeah we were just joking around.

[Comixion]

That does it. I'm selling everything I just bought and starting over.

[AKHandyman]

Just like a new car off the lot, you ain't gonna get what you paid for ... :p
I'll give ya $100 for that E8400! :D

[Zefram]

Are there any pics of SR-71 'blackbird' when its on maximum mach-3 speed?

Owh, and any of you heard about the new, 4,000MPh passenger plane in development? Read it in popular science, and i was relieved because after concorde was grounded and retired, i think there wont be any >Mach 1 capable passenger planes :eek:

Here's the engine, called scimitar, its basically a Turbofan + Ramjet. Efficient at sub and supersonic speed. Sweet :)

Well, I finally got tired of seeing all you Uber Hardware Pwnrz put my little desktop to shame with all the 8 series nvidias and the 3000 series atis.

I am really hoping that the Q9300 was a good choice for overall performance and I am hoping that it will give me a little room to overclock. After I get my next pay-check I will get another 2GB of ram.

I want to get a SLi configuration together with 2 x 8800GTX, but I have to go with one. I think initially it would be better to invest in more memory as opposed to a little more graphics performance. I will still be using Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 on this machine which is why I feel the need to bump it up to 4GB of memory, but didn't think of that until my money was all gone. :curse:

By the way, the cloud you see when a aircraft breaks the sound barrier is called a "Lenticular Cloud". Just thought some of you guys would like to know that little bit of info for future reference.
