They don't really bother me unless they are popup ads or TPB-style ads ().
I don't even use ABP...

A FreeBSD as a router/firewall with proper ipfw rules would do this and could be run on a $30 optiplex 270 could do this all day long, could also add SNMP, DHCP, provide DNS and would be stable.

No script is all I need. I don't mind the ads so much as long as they can't run anything malicious in the background, which is the number one reason to get rid of ads, virus.

[QZ] How much would you pay to never see an online ad again?

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...

Overall, I'd recommend passing on buying this unless you're at the store and it's the cheapest one you like. I'm more impressed by the quality of the generic Apex TX521 that Tiger Direct likes to...

Picked these up for my TRON Legacy theme build. Got the optional light bar upgrade kit(s). Note, for a quad channel package you will need two light bar kits as each covers two sticks. No issues...

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.
