HP Pavilion DM1Z
AMD Dual-Core E-350
AMD Radeon HD 6310M
4GB RAM (Expandable up to 8GB)
11.6" 1366x768 LED Screen
320 GB 7200 RPM HD
It's the same size as the HP Mini 311 Netbook I was using previously, but with double the power. I don't need a lot from a PC and am very much a casual user, but I did want something that could handle multitasking better and play HD video more smoothly, and this works for that, although when I tried a 1080P blu-ray rip (hooked up via HDMI to my 1080P monitor), it stuttered a bit here and there. No problem with 1080P steaming though, and I typically watch 720P video anyway. The keyboard is also much better and the touchpad has been improved a bit.
Left = Mini 311, Right = DM1Z
It runs Dragon Age well enough to the point that I am ditching the 360 version.

Oppo BD-93.
New table on the cheap to put the TV on. The limited space meant I didn't have much to choose from. At least the color almost matches the rest of the furniture.
CDs. Had to wait about 4 months to get the LOTR set from Amazon UK, which is okay since I snagged it when the price was 12 pounds.
Games. Loving TS4 and Motorstorm.

Yeah, I have zero experience and was thinking of doing a set of Youtube videos doing exactly what you're suggested. That would also require quite a bit of effort on my part though and I don't know if I'll follow through with it.tsigo said:

I paid good money for this Dynex!
The whole soundtrack is great... hell, I even thought it was worth the $15 to buy the DLC music.

Still need to find me a mint Ridge Racer 7.
Aside from Okamiden and MLB 11 I posted last week, this finishes off my week.
Picked up these games, it's too easy to spend money with iOS. I hate it.
<3 You SEGA. Found Smooth Moves at a trade center for 11.50 and MINT God Hand and Mafia CE at GS. You people need to buy God Eater Burst.

Is Summer Wars any good? I never heard of it until I saw it at Best Buy the other day. I don't really watch any anime besides One Piece and in the past Cowboy Bebop. I love the Studio Ghibli films as well though.

What shoes are those, they look nice. (Are there other colours available)?
Edit: Also, is that your first Banks book? If it is, you are in for a treat!

I really like the boots and the pants; where did you get them from ?Alucrid said:Back to being poor again...
VGChampion said:
I thought it was a nice flick to watch. Nothing heavy, just a nice light hearted film.

Boots are Red Wing Iron Rangers (they have 3-4 more colors), pants are from Context Clothing. And yeah, it's my first book from The Culture series. I remember someone saying that the order you read them in doesn't matter so I just grabbed one at the bookstore.

Alucrid said:
Thanks.
And yeah, order doesn't matter. Except for the latest book, Surface Detail. You should try to read that after all the others already printed (Anything more I say will be spoilers). Player of Games is a good pick though, it is the most accessible introduction to the Culture. Banks is easily one of the best Science Fiction writers still writing.

Thanks! It's basically if you took a full size ATX tower, and then cut it in half right down the middle of the case length-wise. Perfect size/performance ratio for someone who likes pc gaming, but can't get away with a gigantic case. Only drawback is if you run crossfire/SLI, then you're out of PCI-e slots.WEGGLES said:
No, it's actually pretty quiet. I meant to grab a 9-volt battery for my dB meter today from the grocery store, but forgot. If you're really interested, I can PM you the reading. To give a general idea, it's not as quiet as my MacBook Pro is/was, but it's quieter than when the fan gets going on my HP laptop.milkham said:

My local blockbuster closed down and they were selling EVERYTHING for almost nothing.
Here's my haul.
Here's my haul.
A few more pickups 
Ar Tonelico Qoga w/ Purge party calendar (not pictured, already hanging on wall), Shin Sangoku Musou 6 with Sima Zhao ballpoint preorder pen.
Kotobukiya Rockman Roll-chan kit. (I've been looking for this for months since it's first release! )
Roll sprites on the box and manual. So cute and awesome.
The many different faces of Roll!

I picked up like 6 blu rays for about 10 dollars the other day lol. I checked around the Blockbusters that were closing and only one store was getting rid of blu rays with the BB online service as the other stores were only giving out free dvds 9.99 or less. I might head back out this week to pick up some more blu rays since they up the discounts every week till closing.
