Christine, of course. Only the best movie car of all time!

Children need to be taught a lesson. If I were the parent, in this case, the Xbox would go in the rubbish bin.

Good test is to plug it into a decent hi-fi system. A decent hi-fi plays the signal with higher clarity, which really shows up a bad soundcard or onboard chip.
On my setup (Denon 1908 + Polk RM10), I can easily tell onboard from my X-Fi Prelude, even over digital. Onboard has a tinny sound, like those string and can walkie-talkies we made as kids.

Appears to be a hoover, magically cleans the carpet as the computer runs.

Unless you happen to be deaf, you will hear a difference in a good soundcard versus onboard. Just having the chip on a dedicated card, gets rid of the static and noise from onboard sound.

Well done!

With your budget on the subwoofer, get an Energy ESW-8 from Amazon for $96. Everything else for that much is just consumer junk..
-
A number of things can cause this, you'll just have to experiment and find out what it is. I had it happen to me, turned out my RAM was clocked too high.

Almost all of it drives me mad. Especially when radio stations play it continuously around the xmas season, which is usually 2-3 weeks. For every cheesy xmas jingle, I play two metal songs.
In the spirit of this thread: The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

Well, if you use perfume to clean the CPU, you'll effectively be making one of those oil warmers. Your house will smell of perfume until it all evaporates..
I advise against doing that.

Pinninfarina badge on the side.. Some kind of Alfa?

Enermax seems to build their PSUs pretty well, one of the few companies to still build them in-house. You can probably get a good year or two out of it still.
-
Make sure you set the resolution first. Chances are, your monitor resolution is too big for the TV, especially if it's 720p.

Corsair PSUs are quite strong, no need for 1kw. In fact, a 1kw PSU is complete overkill in any modern system.
-
Top and back fans should be exhaust.
-
Run FurMark for a bit to see if the PSU can cope with the load.

Three words for him; serves you right. If anyone is that stupid to get sucked into a game for twenty hours, they deserve what's to come. Anyone should have the common sense to know their limits and have breaks.

I wouldn't really recommend the V361 as an upgrade from anything, except PC speakers. The amp isn't all that powerful, it only delivers a maximum of about 40wpc and some of the components inside are a bit cheap. The sound is on the bright, tinny side.
What sort of budget have you got? You should be looking at a Denon or Onkyo.

Ask around, you'd be surprised who can find you a job. My hair dresser found my current job, she does my boss's and my hair. She told him I was looking, then a few weeks later the whole process started. Not just some supermarket job either, it's a proper IT job with a good career path.
The whole idea is, no matter how stupid it sounds, ask them. Worst thing that can happen is, they won't be able to help you.

@Wacokid: Show me a new Chrysler which is worth buying. Oh wait, there are none! Everything Chrysler makes is under-engineered rubbish, made out of the same plastic Mattel uses to make action men.
-
ID10T error.
-
Who wants a Chrysler to begin with? They're all terrible.

If it's stable enough for you, that's plenty. Generally speaking, C2Ds are an absolute walk in the park to overclock very well.

Good to see a new new contributor. Your 9600gt will be a valued asset to the team.
