This isn't about one incident in paticular, but a string of bad video card experiences. I've worked on a few hundred computers by now, and have owned a couple dozen video cards myself over the years (Going all the way back to the CGI card in my IBM XT. I was too poor for EGA) and the number...

Just to be sure, do a rootkit check on those machines. There are rootkits that are known to cause LSASS issues when encountering McAfee. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/RootkitRevealer.html You do NOT want a buch of rootkits running on your boxes.

That is the best picture I've seen all week. :p I sense some photochopping coming on. Great work so far. Good luck with the rest.

Falcon Northwest may be unhappy with their poor review, and ATI may be unhappy with the blame initially being laid on them, but this still shows why reviewing systems from a consumer standpoint is needed. A $3200 machine should have been burned in before shipping to make sure everything works...

Whew, thought I was the only one. Can be reliably be brought on by turning HDR off while in the church, after the firefight. Future poll idea would be: HDR, Annoying or Amazing? One vote for annoying.

The longest FPS game I remember was Draken: Order of the Flame. It was a great game, lots of variety. Some levels were on foot, with a choice of using force or stealth. (I hate "Make a sound and fail" games) Othes were more like a flying sim involving flying your dragon around, destroying...

Star Wars Force Commander: The most unusable, incomprehensible, half-assed User Interface I have ever had the displeasure of paying to use. This game sucked to levels previously unseen in the mortal world. Tiberian Sun: How could a game so close to Red Alert be so boring? Daikatana...

To be honest, the weight of the case is only a small part of the total weight of most computers. I have both steel cases and aluminum cases, and once you load them up with heavy power supplies, drives, coolers, and such, there really isn't much of a difference between them. Now as far as...

You re-posted 10 PAGES of pictures just to add that? Next time, use your brain before hitting that reply key.

Great work. Absolutely stunning. Only 2 suggestions. One would be to add some industrial handles on the ends. It will complete the whole industrial crate look, and most importantly, will help keep the soft MDF from being damaged during transport. The other is to remind it's new owners...

Sams club has the WD 250GB 8MB cache drives for $118. No rebate BS, and no waiting for it to be delivered. I just picked up two today. http://www.samsclub.com/eclub/viewproduct.jsp?item=832582

Strangely, I used the exact same case and handle for one of my computers. Except I only used one handle in the middle of the top, and made lots of other changes. (Blue LED's in the interior, blue LED's modded into Panaflo fans, blue LED modded into the power button, and custom built Acetate...
