I can tell just by eyeing it that you're way too tall. It's too bad, cuz it's a nice looking sig.

well if windows is already hogging resources then aston will make it worse and your computer will light on fire

Actually, I grabbed it to give it a whirl. It seems to bypass a lot of the XP BS and runs pretty snappy. I won't even start to compare it to the speeds I have with Slackware, but that's something else entirely anyway.  

Those actual pics of our PC in your sig?

ya.. first pc ive built myself

EDIT.. cut the size down a little bit still to tall but there are people on here with much worse that i dont think get in trouble for it rolleyes.gif

The only problem is your is big enough to stick out. I'm sure plenty are over the limit. I see them all the time. Mine hits the height limit, so you can get some idea to judge off. Either way, it's a cool looking setup. I'd read the list of stuff you bought in the other thread. I just didn't realize what it looked like I guess. My car has more gauges then your computer though tongue.gif

lol good comparison... my pc has more GHz's than your car laugh.gif

My friend always used to brag about the speed of his PC. We really got sick of listening to Dan talk about it. Frnkly if we didn't have cars, or go out and such, most people could upgrade their computer every week like he did. Well my good friend Mike got sick of it, and started asking other questions. Everytime Dan said his computer was fast Mike would snap off something like, "But how's the acceleration?", or "Does she start up easy on a cold morning?"

Sorry dude, you get no special consideration tongue.gif

Your sig is more than TWICE as big as the rules say it can be.

Edit: Pardon me, was too big

But I prefer Talisman
Very smooth and stable and does a heap of cool looking things. Easy to skin too!
