Christmas Week and New Years Coming
So today is the 29th of December the countdown to new years eve will soon come to an end and we will leave 2009 to the tales of history.
I do not personally remember much from this year other than bad incidents during the fall and winter, but maybe you the reader may have had some good memories of this passing year, reflect upon them if you wish or not, be them best preserved as memories.
Time to change workload and get a new power source.
Once more the time has come when saving must be done and plans be made for the future, the computer I use was a real gamers beast when I first assembled it from the parts I had bought.
It’s proved itself to be a workhorse when I played World of Warcraft or any of the several FPS/RTS games I still play these days, however the rig is fatigued and showing signs of age, the most honorable to me is that I let this tired machine convert over from Power Gaming to General Purpose Server.
I purchased an Cooler Master Cosmos S for this purpose, the new machine is now still just a plan and an empty case, I am however unsure what I wish to put in it and how much the total cost may come to, yet I am saving money for other things as well, the computer is a secondary issue and not on my primary list of things to do, more on that I may reveal another time perhaps.
Who knows, maybe you the reader have an idea of what I should put in the computer plans?, You know certain models of GPU, CPU or MoBo and why it would suit my requirements, Do not be shy just leave a comment and I will read your ideas 
Might as well ask that you who feel up for it tell me what kind of system you would build and what it would be best suited for in accordance with your own desires.
Right now I am thinking of the cooling of the machine mostly, since it is a big issue with computers to have the best possible cooling for the operations you wish to perform upon them.
The burning X broadcasts
Me and my brother spent a day playing Special Ops in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, we had some fun and I thought I would broadcast/record the match, to do so I use Xfire, though recording/broadcasting limits the fps during gameplay somewhat I decided to run on 60fps limitation while recording, for some reason the fps dropped to around 35-42 in game, why I have no clue, but it worked, even if it was a bit laggy I recorded this video of the match, In the video I am keeping back and less agile as the fps was low and damage detection is usually less reliable during it.
As you may notice I let my brother do most of the work, I am just keeping him alive and covering the rear that is less work, but then again it was the last match and I was getting tired, even though I set the xfire client to broadcast sound it didn’t do so, still trying to figure why.

Happy New Year.
