Not really, some people can do cable management just as well, if not better than those with modular PSU's. Go take a look at HardOCP. :p

I spend plenty of time at HardOCP and most of the really impressive rigs have modular PSUs or cases big enough to hide it all behind the mobo tray. All depends on the case. But with newer PSUs and the longer cables most of them have, you really need modular if you are using a mid-tower.

Don't think I shown my room after redecoration (before it was green).

Tidied it up since I need to do some new photos (Ethernet cable is no longer at my door way)

I now have 5.1 surround sound to.

Nice, Crystal Xbox LE, modded Xbox and an Elite (Y)

LOL - I wasnt aware Polaroid even makes TVs-- LOL I can only imagine the level of crapiness - let me guess .... Wal-mart ?

The TV is a Samsung

Just gonna put in my $0.02, I have an LCD made by Element, a subsidiary of Polaroid, and it's a brilliant set. Don't knock it 'til ya try it :)

Nice setups, I've got nothing new until the beginning of my fall semester (couple of weeks), then I'll bring some shots of my brand new place (literally, the building is finishing now - I'll be the first one to live there with my roommates!).

I told you. :p

Yes, I got mine at Wal-Mart. Yes, it's crappy for me at least, the top part of the LCD film is slowly peeling off causing a black shadow on the images....

Well count yourself lucky so far, at least yours still works. I bought one ( 37" Polaroid ) and it lasted 1 yr and 3 weeks. It had a 1yr warranty so I thought just being close to that date they would possibly cover it, well it just ****ed me off even more after a couple phone calls. One of the guys even said "well if it was just 2 weeks then they could had covered it but 3 weeks is just to long". I could not believe how they treated me. I just drawled it up as a lost to me for not going with the extended warranty. Which was like and extra $78.00. I did learn my lesson though because my new 46" Sony has the extended warranty. Like the old saying goes, You get what you pay for.

True. I called Polaroid to issue an RMA, after 3 phone calls and the re-assurance that I'd get shipped a box, nothing. Worst company I've done business with ever.

Looking into replacing the TV with a Samsung, Sony, or an LG.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
