Well a local news channel keeps an updated radar graphic on their website. The file name stays the same, and it updates every 5 minutes or so.
So if you go to where you change your background, hit "customize desktop" at the bottom, hit the "web" tab at the top, hit "new" and paste in the URL you want of the image. OK out of those windows and it will show up on your desktop. You can resize it and move it around, then go back into the settings and check "lock items" or something like that, so it stays put.
Sometimes it doesn't update the radar automatically so you have to right click anywhere on the desktop and hit refresh.
Also, this is all dependant on if the radar image you choose has a non-changing URL and doesn't have fancy scripting of some kind. (weather.com images will work if you choose "classic maps" rather than the interactive one)

New pics of my computer that i built. My theme is blue if you cant tell:) After I took that pic i took the case out dusted out all the filters and every other part inside the computer and then rewired everything to maximize airflow. I did a very good job and drop temps 5 degree celsius just with a wire rearrange.

I wouldn't advise this if you have a slower computer though. Because depending on what you want to use it can take up a decent amount of resources and if only have about 512MB ram (You prob need a new computer) it can become noticeably slow.

Looks good. I built mine about 3 years ago. After I do some things to my car I plan on turning this one into a home media server and building a new one with Quad AMD smile

Heres an old pic of mine (The ugly white dvd drive is out. Gf got me a lightscribe for my B-day smile )

And G15 Gaming keyboard FTW!

You must have to have one huge exhuast fan to keep up with all of those intake fans...

I've got a 120mm for exhaust, that's it.

Computer cases are supposed to operate with positive pressure, keeps the dust out.

Ah True, my side case intake fan was broken when I got it and I never bothered to send it back. So all I have are 1 exhaust fan... Not a high performance PC if you didn't guess lol... 1.8 Ghz AMD lol

There probably isn't enough heat generated that isnt taken care of by the heatsinks that you would need an extra fan in that case...meh idk though i could be wrong u could have better PSU, GPU, etc..
