bahahahhaha. Microsoft fails. I took my xbox apart again, cuz it failed... AGAIN. but this time it was done for good. so I open then pos up. Man microsoft really dropped the ball on this one. I found little ***** of solder just chillin under the mobo. Secondly, the amount of thermal paste they used on the GPU and CPU is completely, absolutely, Pitiful. I cleaned the old crap off it, put some new thermal paste on it. cleaned it up a little bit and guess what.

I win.
Played it for an hour and a half with no problems too. I'm hoping I fixed the issue with it. I can't believe Microsoft wants 140 bucks to fix a thermal paste issue.

Typical of an Asian low-bidder produced POS with QC by Microsoft. You expected MORE?

its been known that the solder in the xbox's is the problem for quite some time now, that why ppl wrap towel around them and let them overheat, becuase they think it resets everything, when in actuality it just allows the solder to get hot enough to completely melt again and re-apply itself. mine broke a while back, i just sent it in and got it foxed for free.

but i will def. never buy any comp,. besides a mac from here on out.

i got my macbook pro a couple years back. amazing.

Back in the days when WHG III and company were clients, Bill had a Mac on the credenza behind his desk. (I don't know if he used it, but it was there.)

they're wonderful pieces of engineering but have so many downsides they're just not practical. i would never spend that kind of money on that car. if i was spending 70k i'd get a m3 or a 650i. and yes i have a boner for bimmers now

im not disagreeing that theyre beautifully engineered, but for 70K...FK.

i can spend $20 on a tranny on my street corner and she wont fall apart as fast as the GTR's tranny when i romp on her.
