If it makes you feel any better former [H] Consumer managing editor, Chris Morley, is MAINGEAR’s CTO. If anyone has guys like us in consideration when creating those systems, it'll be him for sure.

Why not just go with a tried and true company like Maingear? Their new system is flat out clean and powerful looking. It apparently does the job too from all the reviews I've seen. I doubt anyone can touch they're reseller rating! I did a little review of mine a couple of years ago and its...

Its funny you say that when the worlds largest player base would not agree. I really find this wow 'stigma' when it comes to people who have never played it or finally got past the addiction to then try and bash everything the game has accomplished. Personally I alpha'd both games and even...

Maingear is the best! I am still incredibly happy with how well my system is performing! Not a single issue since purchase...running like a champ! Monkeypillow, dont count on these running on air...at all. Looks to me like a special cooling chip only! I can bet you for sure you'll see...

Maingear has updated their site this week (I checked Monday and it was up just in time for i7 release, figured someone would have posted it already) and I must say, it looks great. Check it out guys! www.maingear.com Additionally, I had the pleasure of purchasing a system not to long ago and...

I would love to be able to 'blink' like a mage from WoW...think; jumper! Better yet.... The Tri-Force of Power!

I gave up after my first month with a lvl 40 shadow warrior... The game still has potential, but I might only check it out in a year or so. Coming from nearly making live LAN events for WoW's Arena...I knew right away it was only a matter of time before the whole RVR (even in t4) would be...

"PvP, Raiding capitol cities, maybe some instances in the future" Let me be the first to say, this guy is brilliant! He's very smart to say all those things, because truthfully, I can bet you he is a one-man gold farming machine. For the money he spends on this, I bet he's making 5x...

and I had to LOL right back at you. Clearly its one thing to get carried to 2k with no issues..but 1600 scrubs cant be carried to 2200+ unless the person played on their account. Both of which no one does for me! Warlocks are still a joke, and cleave teams are still ruining arenas as every...

Maybe WoW-like but LOL - Its definitly not a more polished version of WoW. It certainly doing alot of things WoW is not doing, and doing them well but again, its very much NOT polished compared to WoW. We'll see in a year or two, I'm sure it will get better and I certainly intend to keep on...

That comic that was linked back on pg1 is spot on about these WAR nerds. My 2 pennies... 1. Most anyone who talks about WoW's pvp are people who DONT know how to pvp and probably still stuck at a 1600 rating (LOL) I have held 2200+ rating in all three brackets (as a mage btw) and the...

awsome - thanks!

I have retail - will I be able to start playing it midnight EST tonight ? The store had no problem selling me the game today after I left work (4pm)

Speaking of queues...I have both horde and alliance mages in WoW. I would love to log into my horde account knowing I can gether 20k honor points in the amount of time it would take alliance to get 8-10k because every battle group was instant queue for practically every server. I really...

Ya until you realize that camping in this game is completely different than camping in CS. On the real hardcore server whoever's turn it is too defend the two bomb site HAVE to defend it. You cannot go on by yourself and 'hunt' for your opponents....you truely have to defend them from all...

You dont download it from anywhere...You just join a TRM server and it does the rest for you...Basically the above poster said, its the REAL hardcore version of a HARDCORE server. To be honest, I'm surprised CSS nubs are still defending it. I CAL'd and used to be one of those 1.6 forever...

Maingear all the way! I got one and couldnt be happier! Search for my review.

No shit its ok for them to stand around. However I think people were talking about how ALOT (most) npcs/mobs were just standing still. I too experienced this...Listen, I KNOW this is beta, and I am giving it a chance. It doesnt bother me YET. I just hope by release everything is polished and...

Wrong...Thats the dumbest attempt to make a stab at WoW. See'n NPCs/mobs move about in a world living their lives (however fake it might be) only adds to the ambience and the world around you. That is the purpose of MMOs to grab you and for you to feel apart of this world (again, however fake...

Ya I edited my last post to say that I have been reading and a shadow warrior or archmage sounds the most interesting to me. I cant depend on having a friend that will be solely a healer so I'm not sure. The mix of healing and doing dmg sounds awsome as a archmage but the mobility and...

Interesting...well what about something that has the mobility and survivabilty of said frost mage that can still dish out some dmg. I always new I was getting myself into a 'glass-canon' when I rolled the mage but that never ended up being the case as frost is amazing at survivabilty + burst...

What would be closest to a Mage from WoW.... Or more specifically a pvp frost mage. I like the micro-managment of CDs + water elemental pet. They also have high survivabilty/snares/kites. I have been 2200 rated in all threee brackets for the last 2 seasons....I am truely bored to death...

I agree with almost everyone... Formatting should NEVER be the first line of defence. If your dealing with 1 client that has 100+ PCs virtually all worked off of a single image and most of there data is on a mapped drive + ost for outlook than sure I can understand that. However in my...

I have around 100 clients that I consult for and have always had to deal with this pesky annoyance. Rogue/Smitfraud/whatever you want to call it these days, has REALLY picked up in the last 2-3 weeks I have had many clients coming in infected and all with various av's that have not been able to...

Good luck with your order and be sure to post up your results. Been playing CoD4 with everything max'd and the game is just so fluid and fun to play!

3DMark06 = 16k 3DMark Vantage = 7900

Thanks for the comments guys. The PC rocks! I think the bird likes it as much as I do. You should see him trying to get inside via the window.

I have always been a HardOCP fan and have read many of the reviews on this site. In fact, I value and absolutly enjoy reading it's reviews so much that I will try and use a similar format to write my own. I'll just make it ALOT shorter :D Purchasing, Packaging, and Presentation (9/10)...

Ya what are u people stupid ? You see a few minutes of a game thats 2 years out and just been announced and you think you know what its all about as far as the art direction is concerned ? IMHO; Gameplay: looked amazing so far. Does anyone know if its already running on DX10 ? Art...

ROFL - SO CONFIDENT!!! :rolleyes: Blizzard has done riddles/teasers like this before and they almost always contain timelines, or tidbits from ALL their games to then announce something new or next gen. As it stands with the 4th image its 100% Diablo, I knew it the moment I saw those eyes...

As far as the CPU is concerned, should I get one of those newer Core2Duo with more L2 cache and FSB or stick to the above Q6600 and OC the crap out of it ? which will yield better results for gaming?

Awsome suggestion guys! I'm gonna poke around and see if I can find any deals on these. I'll update this thread as I build!

Yes, that was great thank you! How good is that system you spec'd out for overclocking? I'd just like to squeeze out the most from the system.

Posted this up in the wrong section but got a decent reply, maybe I can some some even better deals here. I would like to build my own custom rig...but need to get some input on what is the best of the best for a $1400 budget. A couple of things so you know what my preferences are. -I...

Ah ok sorry about that, if a Mod would like to move it for me that would be great! BTW - have they closed the gap as far as performance is concerned with XP pro vs. Vista ? Does Vista + 4gb RAM beat the equivelant XP Pro 32bit system in terms of gaming ?

I would like to build my own custom rig...but need to get some input on what is the best of the best for a $1400 budget. A couple of things so you know what my preferences are. -I currently game on a 22' monitor and run 1680x1050 res (i'll be keeping the monitor) -I absolutly love the...

From what I heard Deathwhisper happens to be where some of the top PvP'rs from numorous games (including WoW) are currently ATM...For anyone who is anyone in Arena PvP in WoW, deathwhisper = BG9 basically. Should be fun, I might pick this up just to see what all the hype is. From what I hear...

Just curious, what would be the closest thing to playing a Frost Mage in WoW ? I love the micro-managment of a frost mage and the higher skill cap that the particular spec/class requires at higher rated arena's.... I would love something that would remind me of the burst/cc'ness of a frost...

I dont know if the price justifies it but the ephex is monstrous compared to the F131 - and with how they have it setup, it clearly flows air better and the overall temps are much lower in the ephex. Its the new hotness vs. old and busted if you will :p I myself wanted the F131 too because...

I've actually said in the past I would like a slower more intense version of CS - if this game really excels in the multiplayer department it sounds like it might be a great success.
