Consindering of building fastest PC?

It has been nearly 9 months since I upgrade my PC. I am considering of this configuration to build the fastest PC in the world. But it is going to cost me a lot of money. Since I just bought a new car, perhaps I should wait one more year for bigger upgrade. Or maybe I should spend this money to buy a new Alienware laptop.

Updated my BANS to 3.0

BANS version 3.0 has been released for several months now, but I did not update my BANS site: http://www.gamingpcparts.com/ until today. My site has been doing quite ok, so I did not want to do anything to disrupt it. But after reading the positive appraisal about 3.0 in the forum, I finally decided to update mine to 3.0. The update process was straight forward. I simply had to upload the new files to my site and overwrite the old ones. I had a slight problem with the database, but was able to resolve it quickly. 3.0 basically adds more customizabilities and PepperjamNetowork support. There was not a major upgrade. Overall, I am quite happy with BANS 3.0.

Fraudulent Charges

I have just discovered that there are 5 fradulent charges to my MasterCard:

OVRNITEGN866-2491931 $2.56
ONGENIUS866-249-1931-V $2.27
CLKBANK*COM $49.95
DIS*DISNEY MOVIE CLUB $33.26
SCH*SCHOLASTIC AT HOME $14.97

I called my card company and disputed all of these charges. My card has been deactivated. The new one is being sent. Seems like there are many others who got hit by fraudulent charges from "OVRNITEGN866-2491931" or/and "ONGENIUS866-249-1931-V". I suggest you better check your card transactions asap!!

My FX50's leather seat is damaged!!!

On July 7th, I brought my FX50S to the dealership to install EX-1, Karr Track, Invisible edge Clear Auto Bra, and apply fishing touch. After I picked the car next day, I noticed there are bad wrinkles on right shoulder of driver side seat!!!


It looks like someone put too much weight or pressure on that spot, or perhaps, used a wrong chemical. Anyway, I made an appointment with the dealership on next Monday, 14th. I am going to request them to repair it or replace the seat at no cost to me.

Problem with FX50S Brakes?

Scanned from Car and Driver Aug 08.



I woud not worry much about this. Reallistically, how many drivers are actually going to do more than 1 panic stop continuously? Under normal driving condition, FX brakes perfectly fine.
