Installing Linux on a PS3 is possible on an fat PS3, although it wouldn't have the full capabilities of an actual computer. Not sure which one would have the better performance though.

I just got a random $25 gift card from Tiger direct in my email. What should I buy?

 

[Grantofhell]

wat....They never send me anything and I've spent well over 2 G's with them.

How do you get a gift card from them. I need to get a new mouse since the scroll wheel does not work on my cheapo 5$ walmart optical mouse anymore.
I I did get one though I would never know since the account on Tiger is in my dads name and email so he'd prolly delete it without knowing

IDK I spent nearly $1000 with them around Christmas so I probably got some sort of bonus without realizing it.

I spend thousands on NewEgg. I never get anything back, but I do get the benefit of the doubt when things go wrong (i.e. good RMA service, discounts if I complain an item when on sale right after I purchased it, etc).

Oh, and in other news. My Corsair PSU is just fine. There was a piece of plastic that was ticking on the fan. How it got there, not a clue. Must've been from packaging or my doing, but I'm just glad I don't have to send it back.

I'm considering a $40 9500GT for physics if I can't find anything else. I would just use the gift card for my new gfx card but tigerdirect doesnt stock a 5970 for some reason.

I want to get a netbook just to try out that Ubuntu Netbook Remix thing. I like how the interface looks.

It's dreadful.
You'll hate it after an hour or so.

If you want really cool interface, install Debian and enlightenment E17.
