Well, at least it's easy to set alight...

Honestly I haven't watched that movie yet...

420 is not worth it. I have one and don't like it because it costs a lot for the chasis and the little Sideshow screen that I have no use for. The best PSU will give you 425W so it's bad for higher-end graphics updates. It's also BTX so no motherboard upgrades either.

630 is better because it uses the ATX layout only its reversed so the motherboard is upside down (it isn't a problem though). If you want to upgrade later on then you can save the case and grab a new motherboard. PSU is about 700W if I can remember (incorrectly probably) so plenty of room for more hard drives or better graphics cards.

Building your own computer is, by quite a lot, the best option. I swear I can build a computer with the same specs as the XPS 420 I have at around $700-$900 while I bought it for $1300. Plus, you get what you want and are not limited to what the maker could supply.

holy cow... is that real? or photshop

According to my science teacher, that is actually real. Some guys on the Eastern side of the United States decided to head into the hurricane because if they dock into port, their boat would be bashed around and probably would end up on land somewhere.

They lived.

We've been off topic for quite a while now...

Less yapping more laughing.

Sorry to burst your bubble but:

It hasn't been updated in months.

He must've been mad at his parents for naming him that...

This applies to every ricer.

Ants usually come in the summer or when the outside is too hot so they find shelter in the house because it's cool.

I found a little bit of Raid and sprayed it at every place they came from. They came back...
So I'll try boric acid next since they're supposed to carry it back to their nest and kill themselves and everything in the nest.

By the way, the ants come from everywhere underground. Usually they come from sidewalk cracks and the soil. It's crazy because there was a huge (looked like semi-transparent black cloth moving) battle between two ant colonies nearby two houses. The best thing I could do is kill the colony(colonies) that are around my house and hope that when a new colony takes it's place, they don't bother going near the house.

Hm... Princess Leia?

Wow, they jump from the ceiling? That sounds crazy and funny. If i put a line of dishwasher soap around an object of interest, they mob it but never get past the dishwasher soap so it looks like someone spilled pepper all over the kitchen counter but all the pepper is alive.

I found 2 cans of Raid and ant exterminator. Sadly, both are empty...

Hm... I think I have that Raid stuff somewhere in the house. I hope I can find it.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature is of moderator status...

Well, they calmed down a little bit but that's because it's night time here. The only solutions I have come up with so far is the boric acid mix, bendiocarb, ant powder (which I know I have but cannot find), and soap. They die if I give them soapy water but it would not prevent them from coming back again since my mother already tried that out in the kitchen. Hopefully I can get the stronger stuff tomorrow.

I don't know where the ant's nests are. They're the typical sidewalk ants you find all over the ground and in between sidewalk cracks. They're practically everywhere so the only thing I can do is get rid of the ones in the family home and keep them out and away.

Thanks for the funny and serious suggestions! If anyone else has other solutions, I'd be happy to give it a go.

Okay, I tried putting chili peppers in their way to irritate them and make them go away. It's only irritating my eyes and nose right now and they don't seem to mind.

Any other household items I should try?

Did a little bit of vacumming and wiping down. I thought you could wipe their trails off with some water but they came right back. Maybe some insects died and they're looking for them but I have no idea where they're coming from.

I absolutely hate these ants. I mean I don't stomp on them every time i see them but the ones in my home are the most annoying. They were all over the kitchen looking for food. Now they come to the computer room where there is absolutely no trace of food. For some reason they seem to like it and they're all over the shelves and my guitar amp. I'd go nuts if they ever got to my computer and died there because I'd have to clean it out. I'd die if they got into my HDTV.

So I need suggestions for ant bait. I do not have the time to go buy any right now and I might go make my own tomorrow and I can't use super powerful chemicals. The only bait I know might work is the boric acid and sugar solution (which I do not have). I can't find their colony and pour boiling water down there either. So if you guys have any other solutions to this problem using household products, let'em fly. I know there's Google but most of them contain the boric acid fix and ant bait you have to buy. I also have to do homework so I can't comb through Google with a fine-toothed comb.
