    Best Servers for World of Warcraft?

    Wow, you've either been really lucky, or have really, really been taking it easy! From what I can tell from the forums, Azgalor definitely isn't the worst server, but I'd rate it as almost unplayable 20% of the time, and if you're anywhere close to Ironforge up that to 70%. I don't consider it...

    Best Servers for World of Warcraft?

    Jiffylush: If you really like playing a Druid now, wait till you get travel form! I got my mount 5 minutes after I hit 40, but I still use travel form 80% of the time. The abilities to switch between forms almost instantly (with a talent line), gather while in form, and engage travel while in...

    Best Servers for World of Warcraft?

    Hey Eclipse, have to agree with you on the Druid - it's a marvelous class, especially if you plan on going solo or playing in small groups. You just can't beat the flexibility of the class for exploring, and honestly I haven't experienced a huge disadvantage in PvP. If you pick Herbalism and...

    does anyone one the Razer Viper?

    I have a Viper, but have just replaced it with an MX300. I'm like you - I don't like all the extra buttons, so the Viper is ok in that regard. The main problem I have with it is that it's fairly small, and the rubber rails that run down the sides make it feel even smaller. That could be the way...

    How loud is the fan on the 6800GT?

    Jeez kcthebrewer, how loud is that power supply? I've got a BFG GT, and I noticed enough more noise to finally drive me to water cooling. It's definitely louder than an Intel P4 HSF. I have an Antec TruePower 430W PS (pretty quiet) and two low-speed 120mm fans, so the GT is by far the loudest...

    Well this sucks...but I wonder if this showed me that nvidia is tougher than ati.

    Thanks for the measurement! I'm trying to figure out whether I'll be able to mount the radiator where I want it. I'm glad to hear you confirm the low noise floor on the unit - I'm primarily going water cooling for noise reduction at the moment, although I intend to put the heat management...

    DaMaDo, I have a more specific question for you. Can you measure the radiator and tell me what the distance from the bottom of the radiator (below the hose connectors) to the bottom of the lower fan screws is? Thanks!

    Ah, what I'd be doing right now if UPS hadn't screwed me yet again. I had a WaterChill kit shipped from FrozenCPU via "guarunteed" 2 Day Air. It was on the truck for delivery all day yesterday but they never delivered it. It's now rescheduled for delivery next Tuesday, so I payed $24 extra in...

    On the bright side (for you), you'll probably have a better retirement than I will. :) I've actually been waiting for these cards to come out for about three months. When I built my current system a few months ago, I wasn't doing any gaming due to time constraints, so I just stuck with the...

    The difference between what we paid for this card now ($411 shipped overnight), and what it will cost in six months ($300? $250?) is about what most people spend on cable/satelite TV every month. Hell, I spend $10-15 a day on lunch. If you make good money and are just really good about saving...

    Ah yes, the FedEx bait-and-switch - I've had that happen to me a couple times. I've also had them leave $500 packages on my doorstop at 10 am instead of dropping them off at the apartment office, so now I always track and go pick up packages as soon as they've been delivered. Besides - maybe...
