I'm with you there too but I'm pretty sure I could spend more on my truck if I had an unlimited budget to go on. Keep in mind you can build a computer into the truck and have a touch-screen in dash.

Mizrakslate pool table. My wife got my best friend to take me to Bass Pro shops for a couple of hours (kinda hard to leave that store). When I came back my wife had the table delivered and set-up in my living room. Man, that was THE best gift to date. (No children yet). It's a permanent fixture in our living room now. I also got some EBC rotors and pads (yellow stuff) from my father-in-law. He's a vehicle guru at heart. ( Had to retire due to massive stroke). Got a bunch of Buc T-shirts, jerseys and team gear . That's about it. I got all my stuff early had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Go Buc's!!!! Congrats on making it to the playoff's and beyond, the Giants are screwed.!!!!!


Next for my truck are the window tinting for the rear and front two windows. After that I have ordered a LED light bar (Red and Amber)for the rear of my truck from Wheelen. Had to stop at a car accident (witnessed with injruies) and almost got creamed. Strobes in the tailights and a lightbar should do the trick at least somewhat.

Eric out of curiosity why are you water-cooling the 360? Is it possible to overclock them?

I am not sure on the level of geekines required to thermo-electrically/water cool an xbox 360, but I am guessing its up there. keep in mind that the 360 doesnt have any "connectors" that you pull power from. Its all found in the MOBO...

Look into peltier and cold plate setups... I have an 80Watt Pelt on the CPU, but cant get anything on the GPU. (way too shallow. the koolance block hits the dvd drive)


Wow... I just realized I am too much of a geek to talk about this... the term MOBO is what did it.


JIMBO, can you get water cooling parts?
Yeah I know where to get all that junk...

You should take the hardware in your xbox360 and custom built a case for it, maybe out of fiberglass or plexiglass, that would have things built in it and allow for also re-running of water cooling hoses throughout the unit. OH you know what would also be cool? If you built a dual case, where it was as wide as an xbox when it's laying down, and yet as high as a full tower for a computer, make your xbox and computer ONE unit, and have a big widescreen LCD tv for both, with a good video card that can output the DVI to 1080p form the computer. OK now i'm on to something...i have an idea for when i get my own place!

Wow, that's completely pointless...

And not really appropriate...

But, if it makes you feel like more of a man...

More power to you...
