Well, the Blockbuster near me wants $15 for 2 rentals. I'm fairly close to a distro center, and I figure my turnaround should be around 2 days so I am getting the trial to see how I like it. I guess my suggestion on Gamefly would be that if the trial sucks for you stick with brick and mortar...

Turns out it was the RAM. Yes, I tried everything else before the simplest part to replace. Yes, I feel dumb.

A few weeks ago the rig in my signature was repeatedly crashing, until finally it did not display anything on boot. After testing my old video card I decided it was the motherboard and ordered a new one. I just installed said motherboard and now I'm getting the same symptoms, the light on...

Just though I would fetch some opinions as my motherboard recently went out and now I need to replace it, the CPU and my RAM. This is whats on the roster as a placeholder for a year or two. Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128337&Tpk=GA-EP35-DS3L...

I'm going to give the Hanns-G HW216DPB a try. I picked it up for about $180 after taxes when it was on-sale with coupons. It will be arriving tomorrow and I'll let you know how it does.

I got it, upgraded my ram, and everything runs and looks beautiful. I may invest in one of those thermaltake heat pads or whatever they are called, the soft ones. Anyone have any luck with those? i think they're called iSoft or something.

I just got a new laptop and I'll be leaving work here soon to work on it. What do you consider mandatory to do to have it running smooth? First on my list is to check for bloatware and if there is much to just wipe it clean. (I got a F3 seies Asus, I've heard asus isn't too bad about it)...

You would save a lot of money buying it from ClubIT with rebates, but good choice, however.

I've had one for roughly a year. The power supply is really hit or miss, it'll prob. fail within a year or less.

There is a Half-Life 2 mod called Dystopia where you can deck in. It's a pretty decent game.

You know, this is the first time i've seen a normal LANBoy on [H]ard. I have one myself so i'm interested in seeing what you do it withit . Mine is pretty beat up, and i'm moving my backup machine into my sonata II because my main is in the P182SE now (I <3 Antec), so now i'm open toplay with...

Lookin' good! Mine should be coming in later this evening :p . Can't wait to have my P182SE

I believe it's the FX-60, as for affordability, retail is $300+, if you can find it.

I hear the 7900gs are more bang/buck minus DX10
