...demo? I thought the PSP didn't have any playable demos? :confused: Is there a demo on that new downloadable content pack that was just released? I didn't want to install it after Sony's rootkit thing.

Have you ever opened it? If the warranty seal is intact, and you have the receipt, I don't see why they would say it's consumer missuse. Did you tell them you think the power board is shot? They might have assumed you opened it to find that out. I'd call them and just say it doesn't turn on, and...

Have you tried changing channels? My wireless connection sometimes drops out, and I have to change channels to use my connection again. It ends up dropping because of some type of intereference every once in a while. I think it's because of my 2.4GHz phones.

Thanks, I'm enjoying your pictures! Man that looked like a lot of fun... :p

Got any more pics? :)

Yep :) as long as the voltage doesn't go below 11.4V, there shouldn't be problems. That's what I was checking for with the DMM.

The reading is from the motherboard's software, and with a DMM. Software reads around 11.4V, and DMM reads around 11.5V.

My 12V rail hovers around 11.5V with no problems at all. It's been running stable like this for over a year now.

The latest NVidia drivers caused performance drops for me. 71.89 seems to be the best driver. Using any version higher wouldn't yield the same high performance as 71.89 did. If you're out of options, it wouldn't hurt to give 71.89 a shot and see what happens.

If it's an e-machine board, and you know what model it is, check their site. http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html They might have the drivers you need for that model. If not, atleast you might find some specifications that will give you a better idea of what drivers you need.

For the card itself, it probably doesn't matter. I think the biggest issue is each company's customer support: how easy it is to do an RMA if something does go wrong, and how long of warranty. Which one out of three is the cheapest? I have a PNY 6800GT AGP that I've had for a while now...

That's practically a completely new computer, minus the case and drives. Building computers is fairly easy if you take your time and research a lot before doing it. It's good you're asking questions. :p Like Shmuckety said, jumpers are small connectors on the motherboard. You'll see...

I'd try dust-proofing your case (not really "proof", but prevent ;) ). I setup some small air filters over the intake fans to block the dust from getting in. Now I just have to suck off the dust that builds up on the outside of the filter; which is good because it's a hassle to move and open my...

I was going to say buy the Xbox 360 since your computer is decent enough with the 6800 Ultra OC. But since you say you only want it for one game, it'd be stupid to buy the 360. At least your computer will be used for other things.

Let us know what happens!
