I hate to do this since I hardly even used the card, but I am putting my EVGA 8800GT SSC up for sale. It comes with an Arctic Cooling S1 cooler and custom RAM sinks (made a group buy for them when they came out). There is AS5 on the GPU and ASC on the RAM. This was one of those cards I...

I have a 500w Enermax Liberty on mine... Currently running only one HDD, but I will be adding four more in a week. Currently the highest my Kill-A-Watt has read was about 106w, IIRC. I also have a 720w Enermax Infinity that I could have used, but I selected to put it in my gaming HTPC in my...

I just picked up WHS this week and put together a spare computer for it and I can't believe I didn't get this sooner. It sure does make life easier at home! It made me realize that my old Microsoft MN-700 router wasn't cutting it anymore so I had to pick up a wireless N w/ 1GB wired network...

Good call, I was just looking at New Egg since I was already on the site. It looks like I'm either going to use the E8500 w/ 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM or buy an E3200 w/ 2GB 667MHz RAM (already have the RAM in either case). Edit: Just dropped the $55 shipped for the E3200. The E8500 will go...

After taking a look, my motherboard won't support a cheap CPU (1,300 FSB, 1600 FSB). I may just use what I have now (not sure which one will make it in the build) and build another HTPC with an i7 when the basement is done in the next few months.

Any other thoughts?

I have three computers to fill with a CPU. At one point, I'll have to get another CPU. Sorry I wasn't more clear. In total, I have two HTPC's, one office PC, and the server (4 total). One of the HTPC's is in 24/7 use and has a Phenom x3 and a 780G mobo.

I am going to order a copy of WHS tonight and I'm trying to decide what processor I am going to use... I have two processors to choose from (already own), however, I'll have to buy another for the 'office' computer (that I *may* game on). I have an E8500 and a Q9300 processor currently. The...

Agree to disagree, you're obvioulsy biased...

I disagree. YOU may not be able to do it, but I many are VERY good with controllers... Some are just as good/comfortable with a controller as you are with your KB/M.

You're missing my point. Someone good enough with a controller shouldn't have a problem doing that. I would do a MUCH better job attempting it with a controller than a KB/M. ;)

And it isn't possible for me to do it with a KB/M ;)

/\ I think player skill has something to do with that :)

COD WaW supports the Xbox controller natively... You're probably already playing someone with a controller. Some people are just better at a controller. It's more of a preference, but I'm FAR better on a controller than keybaord.

That's pretty much what I do. I hate paying for the latest and greatest to have something better come out at less than half the cost 6 months later. I would love to stay on top each cycle, but money and time doesn't come easy.
