Just got this update literally a minute ago, and it confused me… what the hell, my gmail looks different. It appears theres now themes built into it, which seem to be just like iGoogle themes. There are 31 themes at the moment, and I have screenshotted a few for you here:

Default Theme
"Classic" Theme
"Steel" Theme

"Shiny" Theme
"Summer Ocean" Theme
"Planets" Theme

"Terminal" Theme

Right now I am using the Planets theme, its offering me quite a good mix of image and transparency, though I think I may settle on the Shiny theme or some other theme that resembes a normal Google blank page.

Anyone else seeing this at all? To see, go to your Gmail settings page, and look for the “Themes” tab.

 

Edit: This is only showing on my Gmail account, not my Google Apps account at the moment, so it appears its a gradual rollout (I have give me beta stuff turned on in Apps)

Right, finally got round to building my computer, and while my Team Fortress 2 maps directory copies from one system to this new one, I can finally put the pictures of my computer being built.

Firstly, the parts that I ordered:

  • Corsair Memory 2×1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5 Corsair Memory 2×1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5 - £29.84
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53GHz - £75.18
  • Gigabyte S775 Intel P31 DDR2 ATX Audio Lan Gigabyte S775 Intel P31 DDR2 ATX Audio Lan - £41.46
  • Gigabyte Radeon 4850 512MB PCIE 2xDVI 625MHz/1.9GHz - £115.13
  • Grand Total: £261.61

Now, firstly my parts had arrived in a box that surely was too big for what it needed?!

And the parts inside the box:

The CPU:

45nm, “You are so small, it’s funny to me!” I believe would be the heavys reaction.

Such a big box for such a small processor?

Surely such a big box for this small processor?

Ooh it spins… hopefully enough to cool it down so I don’t melt my new processor.

The Motherboard:

Well, the processor fits on there, thats about as much as I know lol

Graphics Card:


Shiny box… let’s hope the graphics are as shiny :)

And the shiny graphics card, not as shiny as it’s box, but defnetly better than the nVIDIA 5200 that it replaces.

RAM:

2GB should be enough to let me actually use this thing lol

Ooh, maps copied :) I’m gonna now test this system and put more pics later :)
