Yeah I do something with firewalls and anti-viruses most people don't get, once I have one problem I move to the next one. I have been threw seven different anti-virus programs and now five different firewalls. My first firewall was Windows paired with Nortons anti-virus, as you can tell this was before I had much computer knowledge. After that I went to Sygate before it was bought by Norton and after they bought it I dropped it. That was when I hit ZA and it did a good run, though had my one issue as stated above with it and moved to Comodo and then had the same problem and now I am on ESET(Nod32) atm. Anti-viruses I don't feel like listing out at this time since they aren't the main discussion. But I don't mind moving, gives me a wider spectrum of what software out there does what and the performance of each.

I used to use ZA a long time ago also, was (and still is) easy to configure.  Now use Comodo firewall and anti-virus, can't beat the price ^^  Comodo can be extremely intimidating to setup, its setup much like my hardware firewall (Checkpoint FW1) so had to apply the same logic in its setup.  Between that and peerblock (along with a few extra blocklists) I feel relatively secure in being able to do what I like, especially with torrents and keeping prying eyes from seeing me.

I've been stuck without my desktop for several months now, its really starting to drive me nuts.  I've got a good laptop that can still play any games that I normally would (just at lower graphic settings).  Just a few days after updating my antiquated 7950gt the motherboard goes and dies on me  >:(.  With money being super tight am just now got enough to spare to buy a replacement; am hoping that my cpu didn't get fried (AMD FX-62 overclocked to 3.2 ghz) which even to get a modest one is still gonna put me back at least another $100 bucks.  Then the watercooling is in need of some maintenance, need to replace all the tubing (starting to get buildup on the insides) and the pump (for the wrong reason, was trying to adjust the speed and the stupid little swith broke of.  Even though was under warranty company said they wouldn't replace it and it can't be repaired because of the way it connects internally) and a new waterblock for the video card (old one isn't compatible of course).

Does anyone know if someone makes a fan controller that can handle up to 9 fans?  I hate having to use 2 seperate ones just to keep the fans running in the case (its a mountain mods case, a behemoth cube).
