Would anyone here be interested in splitting the costs for a 4-pack?

Left 4 Dead
Played the demo with a buddy on expert and it was intense. I'm still debating whether or not to pick up the full version as I've been busy lately, but I might jump on it if they reduce the price for the holidays.

Severe video issues
Sounds like the monitor. I had a hand-me-down LCD that would sometimes have horizontal yellow lines across the screen.

MacHeads- Impending MacBook Purchase
I'm kind of disappointed that they only dropped the price of the old Macbook by 100 bucks. I would've thought that they would reach the 900 mark.

Hard Drive choice.
Have you considered going SSD with a large (and quiet) secondary drive?

Do you have a workout routine?
Yep, 5 sets of 5 reps. I used to do 5x5 flat bench as well, but decided to experiment a bit along with my kickboxing. I used to do a similar routine as yours, but found that it was too inhibiting for other activities and my numbers were hitting a plateau. I would do a "chest" day and the next day I'd go kickboxing and my punching would suffer. I've had pretty good success with this routine. What is the reasoning behind not mixing your pull and push workouts? I have never read that before. Any reading material?

Do you have a workout routine?
Here's my workout: Day 1: Squats (5x5) Power Cleans (6, 4, 4, 2) Incline Bench (5x5) Pull-ups (3x12) Day 2: Deadlifts (5x5) Power Snatch (6, 4, 4, 2) Decline Bench (5x5) Flat Bench (7x2) Day 3: Power Snatch (6, 4, 4, 2) Good-Mornings (3x8) Bent-over Rows (3x8) Flat Bench or Dips (7x2/3x12) That's the general outline I follow, but I will sometimes move exercises around depending on how sore I am. I used to kickbox 3-4 times a week on top of lifting at the gym, but stopped for a while due to some injuries. I also throw in some ab work and cardio usually once a week. Are you able to access a gym? Having access to free weights would really help train your upper body strength. I would recommend deadlifts, olympic lifts, and benching (I know, no bench).

calorie counting
I was able to lose a few lbs and keep it off ever since I just cut fast food and sugared drinks out of my diet (about 4 years ago). I've been able to keep my weight pretty stable since then and work out regularly (powerlift 3 days a week, cardio here and there). I keep my diet fairly balanced a majority of the time, but also allow myself to "cheat" here and there. Once you make it a part of your lifestyle instead of a "diet" or "hitting the gym", it's like clockwork.

Need GPU upgrade. 9800GX2/GTX280?
Have you checked for the contact between the heatsink and the GPU core? Might be worth a shot if you don't want to spend the money for a new card.

I will do just that. Thanks!- The Headcase Stax thread
Just got my Lambda's today with SRD-7/sb. I have it hooked up to a spare Accurian amp and it sounds pretty nice. Great details and soundstage. This is my first pair of Stax and was wondering if there are any good tips or just general information to know. Thanks!- Beyer 235
You're right, the Floats and Ergos are on a whole different level of fugly. However, I could never understand how they came up with the colors for the old DT231. It never fit amongst any of the line-ups. - The Headcase Stax thread
