  1. It was a new, standalone story. And it was suppose to be set in 2031. But as I said, it never made it to pre-production.
  2. Never made it to pre-production. Any work that was done is likely in a box in someone's storage shed/attic/closet.
  3. You can always buy some dust filters like the magnetic ones from Silverstone. I would consider 2 exhaust (1 back, 1 top), 2 intake (1 front, 1 bottom). Having extra air from the bottom fan blow at the GTX960 will not hurt it.
  4. It's unfortunate, but age is certainly catching up to these actors who have played a certain character for a while. Even though Robert Downey Jr. is a perfect match for Tony Stark, he knows he can't play him forever, and hence no standalone movies on the horizon for Iron Man. No one can do 1 thing forever.
  5. David Remember, heat rises. As technoblue mentioned, the back and top fan mounts should ideally be exhaust. The front and bottom fan mounts should be intake. This setup can be adjusted if you used a different cooler, liquid cooling, or have a funny GPU cooler. Circular airflow usually doesn't work well. Especially if the fans are next to each other because as one fan is pulling in air, the other fan is immediately pulling it out. So it doesn't have much of a chance to pull heat out of the system and essentially the effect on temps is zero.
  6. Take out the battery and SIM. Open any port plug caps. Place the phone in the oven overnight to 24 hours. DO NOT TURN ON THE OVEN. Any moisture in the phone should evaporate.
  7. Ah, my mistake. WB copyrighted a few things with HG.
  8. Maintaining a trademark registration (older, but easier to understand version) (Here's the new version) http://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/trademark-faqs If nothing was filed between the 5th and 6th year, then yes, Maguire Ent. and WB decided to let it go. Which is why Sony has just over 5 years to get something going or the rights are going back on the market.
  9. Minmay will be played by a Miley Cyrus. Yeah, I went there. They got 5 years to do something before the license renewal period comes. Start the clock.
  10. Doesn't matter. Macross designs are owned by Big West. If they want Kawamori to draw mechs specifically for Robotech, they have to pay him for the job of designing a non-Valk VF.

  12. From all interviews and panels at PaleyFest, the only response to this is "Just wait." Sounds like they'll get to it. Maybe not this season or in Season 2, but they'll get to it.
  13. Since you have the second drive, I would recommend, SSD 1 partition (technically, after Vista, Windows actually creates a 100MB System Reserved partition but ignore that). OS, common/productivity and the regular day-to-day apps on the SSD. HDD Games, pagefile, temp directories, personal data. Partition it how you like. I'd probably go with 250-300GB for games, pagefile, temp folders, then the rest for your data. The Games partition could vary depending on how large the games are, which these days can be ridiculous.
  14. Tell me about it. I originally had a Asus Z87 Deluxe that had stability issues, voltage issues that drained the watch battery (even when I had it plugged directly to the wall jack to get constant power, the damn battery still drained) and then the audio chip that ceased functioning. Nearly threw that thing through the window.
  15. I know Asus UEFI updates have an annoying habit of resetting everything (I have to recall from memory every time I update the UEFI for my Asus Z97 Deluxe). Perhaps the outage caused a fault or a reset like when a overclocking fails. And switching from AHCI to IDE is likely to bluescreen so that issues should be fine. I would keep an eye on that SSD, but I think the motherboard went into fault-mode because of the power loss.
  16. The new sweet spot for RAM seems to be 8GB these days. As mike mentioned, you will not use up that much (as of posting, I'm barely hitting 2.5 out of 16GB). An SSD will help when loading programs. But as mentioned, once the app is loaded, the physical memory/RAM will take over. Whether it be a SSD or HDD, the app gets loaded into memory and it does the rest from there.
  17. Because it didn't serve the plot. VFs could hold a kagillion missiles if the plot called for it. Same goes for fuel or any other expendable item. And it applies to any other show. If the plot calls for them to run out of energy or ammo, they run out. Period. Plot (payload, armor, etc.) trumps all.
  18. Plot payload. It has as many missiles and bullets as the plot requires.
  19. 8000+? You sure this isn't Japan's Got Talent? I'm sure the shortlist is <10, but still.... 8000+ applicants
  20. Scythe is a good option. I used their fans for quite a while. As I mentioned, you are better off looking for good fans that can provide good airflow but not sound like a wind tunnel along with sound and vibration dampening.
  21. I currently use a Corsair H80 in my main box and H60 in my little ITX-build. As technoblue mentioned, the H80 isn't that great when it comes to cooling OC-rigs. Not to say it can't because I did OC and my H80 is holding temps just fine. The H100/110 is the best for OCing though. My H60 in my ITX build keeps quiet enough that it sounds like everyday background noise that you could sleep to.
  22. I would probably avoid Intel stock coolers as they can get noisy at higher speeds. frothymug mentioned the Coolermaster Hyper 212 cooler. I highly recommend it as I used it on the last version of my computer and even bought a new one for my current revision before I decided to go with an AiO liquid cooling solution. It is the best bang-for-buck cooler on the market. And you can replace the included fan with any better fan that you want. Only downside is the big heatsink.
