This month's solicits: MG Zeta Gundam Unit #3 - April, 5,250 yen (From Evolve ep. 9, This would be #98) So....are they stalling until 100, or are we being nudged in a certain direction? (There is a 0087 Green Divers commemoration screening event coming at the end March at Tokorozawa Aviation Museum). This is a recoloring of MG Zeta ver. 2.

HG is the only ones selling the repackaged Animeigo set. Other retailers are only selling the ADV version with the new dub.

The Macross set is probably the repackaged Animeigo set. And yes, that is the correct price. As for the other 2, a quick check on DVDPriceSearch.com show Mospeada and Southern Cross for $56.43/each @ DVDPacific.com.

That video card is kinda obscure so you were right to question it. It's an HP OEM card so it's not sold among retailers. I would suggest a GeForce 7300 if you must go low. Not many people use the 7500LE so it's hard to find anything useful on it. edit: needed to clear up my post.

The head height of Hi-Nu looks about right. RX-78 - 18m S-Freedom - 18.88m Hi-Nu - 20m Nu - 22m

I don't recall ever seeing a logo on Shin's VF-0s. But then again, I never really cared.

Changing the name of this thread to "Ghost Rider movie thread".

Neutral. I've seen their products fail and I've seen their stuff work really well.

"A Day in the Life" We can't have fighter action all the time. Plus it saves me from hearing RDM's whining about the budget when we don't have those scenes. At least we know Adama has his own "Head Six", even if it is a once a year thing. We also got Apollo's opinion about his mom. We now know that Adama's wife shares as much blame for Apollo's fraked-up life as much as daddy.

For mice, go to Fry's, Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, anywhere and feel the mice in your hand before you go out and buy one. If comfort is what you want, then you really need to go out and feel the shapes in your hand. I've used mostly Microsoft and Logitech throughout my years. Both make great mice. I've tended toward Logitech these days, but I've hated the shape they used for the MediaPlay/V100/150/LX3 when I placed my hand on it. Keyboards....Logisys makes illuminated keyboards that come with a PS/2 adapter. Saitek also makes illuminated keyboards, minus the PS/2 adapter which you could just pull off the mouse if the mouse comes with a PS/2 adapter. I'm not a keyboard-nut as I've used the same keyboard for about the past 10 years (personal use, work is another matter).

I don't think you need a cantenna for a home network unless you have 6-inch walls made of lead. Socket AM2 are about the same as their socket 939 predecessors. They are more energy efficient but there's actually very few noticeable differences between the 2 cores. The AM2 cores, I won't say has longevity, but the parts you'll be using to build that system, like the RAM, will be around. Between the 2 DFI boards, the specs are about the same. Northbridge chipsets are the same (nForce 4). On-board audio and networking is the same. Only difference between the 2 is the nF4 SLI-DR Expert supports and additional PCI slot and RAID 5. So it's bang-for-buck. The nF4 SLI-DR Expert wins since it has some additional features for the same price and the other DFI board. Between the Asus boards, it's polar ends. The A8N5X is more of a low-medium end board; not feature-heavy. RAID is only 0/1/0+1, Single LAN connector, no SLI. The A8N32-SLI Deluxe is a high-end board. Dual LAN, more RAID options, SLI, etc. So this boils down to what you want to do with it and how much you plan to spend. If you plan to really push this system, then the A8N32-SLI Deluxe would be the best route. If you have no clear picture of what you want to do with it, or plan to give it to someone who probably will not be doing any serious gaming, i.e. basic stuff (e-mail, 'net, photo sharing, word processing), then the A8N5X would probably be a better choice. Between the 2 Asus boards, I would ask yourself (you don't need to tell us) what you intend to do with it and how much are you willing to spend.

That's never been addressed, unfortunately.

I'd avoid the Draft-N routers until they finally settle on the specs, hence why they are called "Draft-N". Although the Draft-N equipment is pretty close to the final specs, so there won't be any significant changes. I would look at the WRT54GL or WRT54GS. Cheaper and there's a modified firmware out there (http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php) which adds lots of features to the router that the default firmware lacks. I've Linksys for about 6 years now and all the stuff I've used from them has been solid.

Socket 939 is being phased out, unfortunately. You may wish to try other vendors. Tiger Direct has some 939 boards in stock. You may wish to try them.

AMD has their own fix for dual-core setups: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Techni...1_13118,00.html I have a Core 2 Macbook so I may try that MS download and see if I get any improvement out of it (I dual boot on my Mac. ) A Tablet PC would be a good idea if you need a laptop on the field. I've played with a few and they are definitely worth it. 1) Try a different disc drive. Try that problematic disc drive on another computer. 2) DDR and DDR2 are not compatible with each other so you will not find boards that have both DDR and DDR2 slots. What CPU are you planning on getting?

I agree with that. If you are getting Vista with a new machine, I'd just keep it there. The driver issues is just one of the things holding me back. Personally, I'm staying clear of Vista until SP1.

As I quoted, the things on the hips (as asked) are vernier thrusters. The FLIRs are the things in front (and slightly below) of the cockpit-area toward the nose.

Unfortunately, Ginrai is incorrect. http://macross.anime.net/mecha/united_nati.../vf1/index.html The FLIR sensors are the 2 things toward the nose which house the leg-joint connectors.

Blame the producers...

Here's the official nod to Season 4: http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?c...=0&id=40133 Jan. 2008 is gonna be a while. No official mention of the TV movie.

i.e. Please do not quote Wikipedia. Ever.

I don't think that's the final box since it says "ZGMF-1000" on the bottom....It should read "ORB-01"...

"The Woman King" (Just so I can keep track of what episode we're on, I'll name the episode when I comment on it) This was a good episode for Helo. I liked this character episode. But, the whole anti-Sagitaron thing really did complicate the story a bit. In the podcast, RDM makes a note about it and how it was eventually dropped as they moved into the later episodes. That was a good idea. But the episode feels like they figured that out after the fact so it dragged the episode a bit. I liked seeing Head-Baltar again. Makes me remember that even Cylons have "imaginary friends".

You sure he's not wearing it underneath the jacket?

Put your ears back down. No news of any new Gundam series. The Seed movie is the only thing that we've heard about and that's about 10-months to a year-off.
