She's keen on having it look "clean" instead of my PC looking like a garage project moved into the living room 
She won't give me trouble about a computer anyway given her rivalry with Imelda Marcos for the number of shoes they own
I'll certainly look into a silent PC if I can get/build a better one for less money than a huge iMac. I did buy this thing refurbished, so I saved quite a lot of money on it. Has a full warranty (I see so much as a bad pixel and they have to give me a new one), and was actually less than the i5 version new. |
Hehe, my set up is in my back sunroon, turned into an office. Headphones get on my nerves and I have my rig hooked to 7.1 bose speakers, small but dang powerful with quality. Several times a night...."Please cut that thing down." Once she was gone shopping and I had the thing cut way up during the surface battle of GC. The back window was open. Wife walked in and said the neighbor across the street said "your son sure is playing one loud video game" in which she replied,
"no, that's my husband."
I need some good headphones, I do have to adjust volume for anything loud, but with contacts off I like cranking it up when submerge in the sub, awesome hearing all the creaks. I have added many sounds, got one guy puking rather loudly thats got to go.
