I'm looking for either a new headset (and bring my old one to work) or new headphone. What I am looking for is something that is relatively cheap - I'm not really an audiophile. But does a decent job at cancelling out the constant noise around me. I'm a programmer working next to a fax/copy...

I know [H] put a ban on this for lack of eyefinity support. But I picked this up over the holiday steam sale and I am enjoying it thus far. I was curious to see if there was a [H] Agency or any member in here looking for new recruits? :D

So the wife in her infinite wisdom decided to finally shut me up and make me stop whining about my old monitor 1280x1024 16 inch-er, by motivating me to loose 20 lbs by saying I can get a monitor when it's all gone. I am 1/2 way there after like 3 weeks, so it might be time to start shopping...

I am thinking about picking up a BIOSTAR TForce TA790GX mobo, along with a HD3450 or 70 if I can find one. How much of a performance boost will there be? I heard that this Hybrid graphic technology can make it act like a 3870, which would be very nice for an extra $20-30 on a vid card. But...

So, I want to do the whole Linux thing again. (About a month or two ago I tried out Ubuntu and really liked it a lot.) I had a couple small gripes (lack of HL2 and mods, I don't think I got my video card drivers set up properly), but overall it was a very good experience. I have been looking...
