Rock Chick of the Month – Laura Nichol

Presenting this month’s Rock Chick of the Month, Laura Nichol from Light This City!
I’ve been listening to their tracks on my iPod recently, and she warrants a space in my FUGLY blog *cough*.
Anyway, Light This City is a mixture of Death riffs, aimed towards the more aggressive listeners. They do sound like Metalcore/Hardcore sometimes, but [...]

WordPress is now ok

Yey for WordPress!
And boo for SingNet!
Thanks to my sweet girlfriend for introducing to me this cool blogging tool. I’m officially in love with WordPress.
Anyway, the problem occured due to some ISP in Singapore, as highlighted by the WordPress team. They were super friendly, thumbs up for them!
I will probably start to spam my [...]

Creative Vado HD

I’ve been thinking:
Since you like to travel so much, and you always need a video camera, I am currently considering buying you the Creative Vado HD as your birthday present.
However, you will need to convince me that you REQUIRE such a gadget.
This thing costs S$350.
And I think it’s worth it. Though I’m still skeptical at [...]

Built PC vs Ready-made Branded

The other day, someone asked me why build your own PC rather than buying a ready-made ones.
Please see my responses below:
Build PC
Pros includes:
- Choice of many individual parts
- Better built quality

- Individual warranties which are normally 2 or 3 years (Some companies offers 5 years warranties. [...]

Check out “My PC” page

If you’re interested to know what is my specs like, or how much I spent altogether over the past few months, drop by that page.
Honestly speaking, after so much buyings I didn’t know I spent THAT much!

My PC (again!) with my dust-free secret!

So I promised you pictures right?
I was bored, and I reworked the cables so it looked more manageable now. This will probably remain for quite some time until I changed casings and a use modular power supply. (probably will experiment sleevings and painting on this enermax PSU hehe)
Come and take a look. As you can [...]

Xigmatek XLF-F1253

Yey!
Bought ONE of these, the new fan from Xigmatek. Reasonably priced too. And I’m sick and tired of blue LED. Time for a change.
This one has translucent fan blades with a rated speed of 1500 RPM for 61 CFM. Though I don’t know if these numbers are true, it doesn’t really matter to me.
The thing [...]

Building a super dust-free computer

Dust can be a daunting issue especially after you’ve spent the last drop of your sweat getting that dream rig you’ve been eyeing for.
So, how to solve it? You need the airflow for optimum cooling, you need large amounts of air pressure to be in, but you can’t really do anything if the dust follows [...]

Fixing 25mm thick fan into NZXT Alpha

Owners of NZXT Alpha rejoice! Because it’s possible to fix in a 25mm fan for all your air intake needs.
Previously I used to have a 15mm fan (a.k.a slim fan) but it does not have enough air pressure to cool my hard disks.
So the trick to fixing the 25mm fan? Force it in. Yes, literally [...]

Ace’s Computer Specifications

With a tight budget of under $1000, Ace decided to grab a new computer that is decently enough to run games and everyday computing.
I’m just sad I can’t overclock his new CPU. Well, if I have my hands on it, I’ll definitely try to cook an egg with that processor.
Anyway, here are his [...]
