I just ordered an i7-4770 box (no k, I'm not going to OC). GTX 760 eVga superclock,
16 gb RAM, dual 128 gb SSD in RAID 1, bluray burner. Its gonna scream. Just need
to get an aftermarket cpu hsf, since its a silent case and PS and only has one front
and one rear 120 mm fan.
My trusty old e4600 box is getting long in the tooth. Time to part it out.

I like potatoes.
I usually peel their skin, cut them up into pieces and then fry them until golden
brown.
Then I dip them in chili sauce and bite them, chewing them until they are soft and
mashed, then swallow them.
Lastly, I will wait for them to become feces.
I'm not psychotic, but that's what I usually do to potatoes.

why you no install ubuntu on your PC then its atlest way powerful then android on PC. it
seems really odd how people get excited to underutilize the PC with android thats a joke .
or someone really got pumped to port android on it. only good thing i see here is.
developers can run their apps to test, they gonne run at blazing speed on PC but you
wont get any idea about actuall phones.

How do you guys navigate with it? I had to enable the 'show pointer location' in the developer
settings and then click and move around my mouse just to know where it is. And also, how do
you get it to connect to the network? Sorry, not used to Virtual Machines :P
