Damn, Daisy. What an obnoxious little prick.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

How does the HD look on your TV, Jesse?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I dunno, fine? I'm honestly not sure if I'm watching HD or not or what. It's not all shows, and even on the HD channels it's not all shows, right?
This is why I don't spend money on technology.

Channels between 700 and 799 are HD, and for the network channels, only prime time shows and local news are in HD.

OK, I'll notice later then.
Edit: I need to start keeping a list not-here, but when I hit the Guide, it only showed my "favorites"! For chrissakes, Time Warner.

Dog is my co-pilot.
I've only seen HDTV once (at a friend's house) and there was an incredible difference. We continue to hold out, however.

OK, yeah, it's pretty crisp. But how come it's letterboxed? I don't know how to use nice things.

Theo, the computer we got from Falcon has some inside padding and is substantially quieter than the Alienware we also have. Of course, we don't have the liquid-cooled system; ours just uses lots of copper heat sinks.
As far as noise goes, from what I understand the liquid has to be cooled with fans, so it's not going to be completely silent unless you pay a fortune.
Anyway, I'm not trying to stomp all over your enthusiasm or whatever. We just went through an extensive process buying both computers. My husband is very thorough. So if you have questions about our experience, I'm happy to answer them.
