redice,
We've been using it for 6 years without a problem. It's used less than a pint of oil since it was new. Why wouldn't it be safe to use, It's not like it was 20 years ago when you could get some oil spots on something. The twin tanks help insure no moisture either. There's a manual drain valve on the lower tank. Just use your hand as a guide and by blowing the blow gun at your hand, you will know about how far away to keep it. I use these!




They make a one button syringe, but I like using what is normally the water side for pin point air, and the air button for more volume! Worth their weight in gold! I pay $40 for one as I'm a dealer. Incredible air control and you work with 80-100 Lbs pressure of the compressor. Far better than compressed air, with no icing on the surface of what's being blown clean! Let me put it this way, you won't be blowing any capacitors off the motherboard like you can with a blow gun (Don't Ask!), and you won't be rupturing any keyboard membranes like I've seen a number of people do using them. With the syringe, you have the power up close without endangering any parts, and great air volume without the Brute Force!

Best Regards,
Russ

side by side the I5 build(mob,cpu,mem) is cheaper than a C2Q
i used neweggs priceing. but i can get the C2q way cheaper at microcenter than newegg,($169) as well as the I5,($179)..







guess it has me thinking if i should get the GA-EP45-UD3P now/ just leave this my Q9550 setup as is and sell my E8400 and other spare parts and go I5.... really has me wondering just how the I5 really performs.

Boy it's hard to decide when it comes to pricing parts and the quality you want and need.I did some pricing on what.I paid on
my 3 parts just got some more G.Skill today 2x2 getting ready to put the Blu Bye U Back together again with Added Features anyway.I thinks Ro we make way out better when me and get are cpu's at the Mic they seem to have that I5 $10 lower this week the same price.I paid for my E8400 a year ago or less.I'm thinking to do a 1156 build mid nexts year myself here's my figures.I came up with on my 775 build and later down the line 1156 build

my cost

1156 build

http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/212/1156build.jpg



the i5 is 149.99 at the micro + Tax 6.5% = $9.75 tax = out to $159.74
out the door there's only a $19.70 different between the two builds for me plus trying to talk Newegg into some Free Shipping on the chat.I did it tonight cause.I spend over $250 dollars in parts
you gotta think prices gonna drop on some parts and the eggs free shipping and the promo deals:)

In case you don't know it, the Q9550 from MicroCenter is an SLAWQ, which is C1 stepping. That's why the cheap price! I called earlier to see if they would tell me and the guy came back with SLAWQ! The better one is the SLB8V with C0 stepping.

Actually most of the bugs with Windows 7 are non existent. 90% of the R+D and bugfixes were done through Windows Vista. 7 is relatively bug free as far as new releases go. Much better than XP ever was at release. So far it has worked with everything, including actually working with my sound card; Something Vista refused to do even on different versions and with the new SP2. I'd say make the jump now. No need to be afraid of change here, the final product is instantly familiar and so much sleeker. It takes much better advantage of your hardware than XP 32 or 64. And for stuff that normally doesn't work, try the XP Mode VM or one of several compatibility modes.

I am 99% happy with 7 right now. Mostly a bug where, as Sam pointed out to me, it randomly forgets your home network settings. But not a problem here it's not a big deal to set back up.

3.4Ghz Q9550 is no CPU? I'm hurt... :P
Might not be the 4Ghz you guys can push for with your single PCIe slot systems, but it's rock solid, and the voltage can be brought down nicely (talking of which, I'm going to have a stab at getting that lower). It also gets me a nice full 1066mhz memory speed :)
