Hey everyone here a small gadget that just arrived,

since i am still waiting on the powersupply i will just be waiting and stocking up on tools,

Well now for the Gadget,this is the GOverlay LCD display,fully programmable.

I was looking for a small display on ebay (because i like to see the status on my Heat of the Cpu Gpu ,)so after some browsing and searching around,i stumbled on this .

It is fully compitable with AIDA64,and hardwaremonitor,and you are able to get a lot of other

Plugins,

It also has a gaming mode,wich means when you enter sertain games it will show you certain information about that game,

best application to make use of this will probably be Need for speed,the hwole display can become a Speedometer.

I hope to bring some more build updates soon,

Keep you posted,thank you for checking out my log.

Stay tuned.

Hey everyone,

Here is a short Video i made onn how i play /sit in front of the desk,

since this is actually something people are interessted in knowing,hopefully this explains/if not feel free to ask.

No it is not Uncompfortable,although my legs look a bit crushed on the video,

usually my chair isn't that high and my arms rest on the desk(wich was not realy an option while recording)

Second reason for making this video,
