geforce 2 Ti 4200 X800XL 8600gtm (laptop) 4890

Oh my god, we’re having a fire! ...sale. Oh, the burning! It burns me!

I have the newer logitech G5 (the blue one) and when I try using it on my new computer, every minute or so it'll shut itself off and turn itself back on for a second, resetting my dpi setting. Sometime's it'll get so bad that it shuts off every couple seconds for a second at a time and the only...

Does the SG05 have more clearance than the SG01, or should this work in there too? I wanted to get the GeminII S for the SG01, but I was afraid it wouldn't fit and just went with the Scythe Shuriken. Maybe I'll put a larger fan on it blowing upwards and see how that works.

You make it sound like XBL is the reason consoles are so successful. It sounds like you're the one that doesn't realize why the mass market has attached itself to consoles. Sure it's a selling point of the 360, but PS3's selling point is hardly the community, and the Wii, despite being the best...

Newegg is pretty amazing. I split a recent order between Newegg and ZZF, and even though ZZF had free shipping, Newegg's order arrived before ZZF even shipped my order out of their warehouse.

I just started a new build and ordered the parts on sunday. Whatever I couldn't find on ZZF i got off of newegg (still with 6% cash back, not too bad), and the newegg parts came before ZZF even shipped out my order. They did ship it out yesterday, but I'm on the east coast and ZZF only ships out...

The missile launchers were definitely the only way to do the strategy missions, but even then I felt like they were the least fun part of the game

Thanks for everyone's help. I went ahead and ordered the same system as what I listed above except I replaced the Phenom II 945 with the 955 BE. Thankfully I found most of the expensive parts on ZipZoomFly and took advantage of their 20% cashback, so I felt a small upgrade was in order, and even...

Are the budget cards usually released right away? If it comes out next month and the cards are all 300-400$, I probably shouldn't hold my breath. I can get the 4890 right now for a little less than $170 after the bing cashback. If anything, would I be right in saying that the 4890 could hold...

Is it a good idea to stick with the 945 95w if I'm going the SFF route? I probs won't be overclocking in the near future, and would the difference in wattage lower the heat enough to be valuable?

If I'm trying to build a new computer within the next week or so, is this reason enough to hold off on buying a video card? I'm going to be putting it all into a SFF, and was originally planning to go with the 4890. The new cards will probably be beyond expensive though, and I would still get...

I've come to terms with getting the sg01, and I'll probably be ordering somewhere in the region of next week. This is my build so far: Are there any places I could squeeze out better price/performance? The cost has gone a bit over what I originally wanted to spend, but I feel like it's not...

It looks like the CM GeminII would fit in the SG01, with 78mm of clearance and the GeminII being 62mm in height. Would the NT06 route cool better with a fan fitted on the bottom blowing up vs the GeminII competing for air with the PSU? If they have comparable performance I'd probably lean...

Thanks for the suggestions. Should I be worried about those two one star ratings on newegg? Also, I did see that previous post which is in part which pushed me to get what I have now vs trying to squeeze in a Q9550 and gtx275. I was afraid that would be true. Do you think it might fit in...

I'm planning on putting together a computer before the end of the month, and because I fly to school, I need a SFF machine that I can tenderly pack into my carryon. I've got a lian li pc-v351 in my cart right now, but I have a feeling it'll be too much of a pain in the ass to fly with compared...

I would be more inclined to support their cause if they drew a giant floppy penis on the roof of HP, or at least a laptop with lots of hardware problems. The former being hilarious, and the latter being something I am actually against.

If anyone has any extra invites, I'd really appreciate one. A few of my friends are playing and I need to get in on it. email: killerpotato [at] gmail [dot] com Thanks in advance!

Maybe Heroes of Newerth is what he meant to say considering that's actually in beta now. If anyone has invites to that, I'd really appreciate it. A few of my friends started playing, but the person they got invites from has no more ;(

Totes dude. I didn't even know these were starting, but if anyone has extras I'd love one too. I still play a few hours a week and it never gets old, especially if you play with friends.

I don't want to suggest that you fly off the chain here, and this might not even be an option, but why not play at less than maximum graphics? I realize it kindof sucks, but when you consider the price of PC gaming, its much cheaper if you just tone the graphics down a bit. I'm probably a bit...

Who needs a korean war game? Everyone knows that if you want to pick a fight with koreans, you just boot up starcraft.

They sent me a key a while back. It was a pain in the ass to set up in Windows 7 for me. Once it started working, it was kindof underwhelming. It has none of the intensity of the previous battlefield games, firefights are a bunch of hopping around spraying whatever weapon your character class is...

Thanks for the heads up. The first one was pretty intense, but a little predictable after you saw that one of the players had a korean last name.

I'm not sure sarcasm works that way, but seriously, I'm sure a decent number of us were thinking the same exact thing. I would like to say I also love dota. It consumes many hours per week of my free time.

I would have an opinion on the game, but I can barely run it on my laptop's 8600m gt. Company of heroes runs fantastic though. Aren't they the same engine?

Same here. If anyone got multiple keys, I'd really love one. I'll keep trying though :(

Whenever I try to make the quake live account, I can get to step 2 of 3 on the registration and it asks me for a verification code, but I was never sent one, and when I ask it to send me another, it just tells me "Error sending verification mail. Please try again later." Anyone know what the...

And goddam, the interface is the most poorly converted to pc interface I've ever used. You have to scroll between "Yes" and "No" when an option box pops up like changing the resolution or quitting the game. Add that to no ability to save/load, and no support for the mousewheel when you're...

I just beat it, and I definitely thought it was a bit weak. I was blown away by the first FEAR demo, and the rest of the first game was okay, but while this demo was decently scarier, the combat was nowhere near as satisfying as the first game. Theres something to be said for stapling your...

I'd be wary about the Ratpadz. My brother bought the first edition when it was being sold years ago, and the middle is completely smooth now. That probably doesn't come as much of a surprise, and he still uses it for some reason, but I bought an everglide giganta optical (its kinda clear/sparkly...

I sent you a PM 4saken. If anyone else has invites if 4saken is out, I'd really appreciate one. I'll probably be running windows most of the time now, but is there any reason this wouldnt run in os x?

Thanks for the advice Danny Bui. I hate sounding like I have no clue, but having not built a computer for the last 5 years, I really don't have a clue and I'm a bit antsy about spending such a hefty chunk of change. I'm probably going to scout out the upcoming games, see how dawn of war 2 runs...

If I get the modular antec 550w, the asus P5E-VM HDMI, and the 640GB, with the mobo, hard drive and processor from amazon, I can bring the total to ~$904, which is pretty tempting. Still, it's a bit much for me atm so I may wait a bit. With core i7 and DDR3 making its way into the sff scene...

I'm a college student, and because I fly home for the summer / for vacations, I'd like something that I can stuff into a carry on luggage padded with dirty clothes. I'm currently using a 2007 macbook pro as my main computer, and its a great laptop, but it just doesnt cut it anymore for the...

Something that everyone has been overlooking is replays. Seriously, I sucked at warcraft 3 until I started watching replays, and even after a couple, you quickly pick up on the crazy strategies that pros use, and if you stick a few into your normal playstyle you'll quickly improve. Of course, if...

I'm in the market for a new sff system too and for the same reason - to fly to and from college. I think I'll hold off for a while because my laptop is still pretty decent, but is there any reason you aren't considering the silverstone cases? They are a bit larger, but you can fit a full sized...

I thought the same thing. It is, isn't it?

Damn. It sucks that his entire plan was ruined by a hobo.
