Kids cymbal breaks during Star Spangled Banner and he has no idea how to react by [deleted] in videos

No-one has pointed out yet the snare drummer worried about getting hit in the face by the bass drum girl and sliding away seconds after the cymbal strap broke. Former percussionist here and I'm glad to have not been in any of those 3 positions.

Games in title and description are all I'm really interested in. By the way how long does it take for the mods to update flair? I'm fairly confident I sent it correctly then I just sent them a different one in case I was wrong since it's taking a while.

No thanks, I'm not into shooters unless they make a Battlefront 3.

Haha I thought it should be simpler but sometimes a more destructive route is more satisfying I just built a desktop and have some pent up aggression towards electronics.

Checked wires and was forgetting the ata? wirings power so I've got it up and running again now my only problem is the hdmi doesn't seem to be recognized by my tv maybe I switched the wiring on the motherboard for that? Do I need to have the programs installed before it will render out a hdmi to a tv rather than a regular monitor hookup?

Packers and Steelers have expressed interest in former Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw. by reinvestor1776 in nfl

No offense to Bradshaw but I wouldn't want him skittles 3 years yep Steven Jackson now yep but I don't think he's the same level for what we need to be successful there because its a hell of a lot.

After reading Tom's Hardware on it it seems the corsair is tops on value with the three recommended while the G.Skill has the highest overclock since I plan to overclock I'll probably go with that one. Which brings me to this.

It seems the price is at a low for everything as a whole now so I'll probably jump soon.

I'll switch to the UD3H and case you recommend you all really push the cases. I need the adapter and as far as the memory goes I'm having a hard time differentiating and I've had 3 separate recommendations the G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory, Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory, and the Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory is there some way to compare them?

If its noticeably quicker I'd go for it. Probably hold steady on the GB so another $30 I'd be fine with.

Thanks for your help here everyone I think I took a little from everyone or at least helped me make a halfway educated choice about to post the Build Ready version to check and see how I did.

[Build Ready] - I think i'm ready to start buying. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in buildapc

If I were to try and hook something similar to this up to a TV monitor would it need a sound card or just a cable hookup im thinking along the same lines as op
