Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks for the input, man. I'll check that out when I get the cash out of my wife's purse to buy the game. :D

I'll agree with part of that. I don't think a keyboard over $30 is worth it. I've been more than happy with my $10 Logitech internet keyboard. Before that, I was satisfied with my $6 Lite-On keyboard. Sure, you can't have a ridiculous amount, like eight keys active at once, but I never do...

Hehe. What up, l3ender? OK... so now I'm caught. I've admitted that I have a problem. But you see? I'm trying to cure my addiction by replacing de_dust2 with a little DoD:S. That's good, right? ;)

Hey guys. I'm a CS:S addict. There's no denying that. But every now and then, I like to play around with something else. UT2004 is a decent distraction, but I'm not always interested in tat game. Believe it or not, I've never played Day of Defeat: Source, or for that matter, the original DoD. I...

However serious you are is the right amount of serious. Hehe. Check out the website and shoot me an email. At the very least, we could probably throw you into the Tier Two group. Basically, there are 12 slots on the server, so I have 12 Tier One slots. These player's are on the Mani's Admin...

That's why I've stated that everything is open for discussion. If the group dislikes it, it goes away. If you want to dismiss the idea because of your weapons preference, so be it. Your loss. A few of us actually had a decent session tonight.

Damn! There were some great replies to this thread! I read the first post and wondered the same thing myself. Thanks for the detailed and educated answers, guys!

This is where laziness will be the death of you. The IP address is clearly listed on the website that I linked to in the first post. If you want all of the information handed to you on a silver platter, doing nothing for yourself, you're probably not my target demographic. And like Viper...

Just swing by my Forums for signup info. Hopefully we can get it off the ground soon! :)

The 12-player limit is like training wheels for now. Once I determine that people are genuinely taking an interest in the idea, I'll probably expand it. There's also an 80-slot Ventrilo server available to me, but I haven't set that up yet. We'll see how things go. :)

Hey kids. Let me start this thread out by saying that I am not recruiting for a competitive clan. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I just wanted to announce that I've recently opened a 12-slot, 100-tick Counter-Strike: Source server based out of Chicago with full HLstatsX tracking. I...

Thanks for all the great info guys. I was interested in BF2142, but heard it was pretty buggy. I wasn't aware of the signature length. That thing is a beast. I'll hack my wife's computer off to trim her down a bit. Hehe. Thanks again!

OK... so I'm relatively new to PC gaming. I've been a console gamer on nearly every gaming console since the original Nintendo, but just recently built a system capable of playing newer PC games on medium to high settings. I just got done playing F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point and fell...

Hehe. Good luck, bro. Either way, you're gonna be like a 4-year-old with a new pair of tennis shoes for at least the first couple of weeks with that thing. You'll be timing how long it takes Windows to load and freaking out when you shave 3 seconds off of your old system It's New System Syndrome...

Don't be silly, bro. That thing's not even SLI- or Crossfire-Certified. Plus, I heard it uses Fuhjyuu caps. I think JonnyGURU gave that thing a 4.5/10. :D

1) Agreed. 2) If Joe Six Pack wants to run Vista with Aero, 2GB is recommended. 3) Agreed. 4) Agreed. 5) Who needs more than 100GB? Who doesn't? 6) $100 for a mobo is a stretch, especially in low-valued Canadian dollars. Maybe $125-$150 depending on what features you want. 7) 1000W is a...

Eh. Not necessarily true. Some people like to jump on the bandwagon But by and large, you'll get better information from real world experiences than from a sterile laboratory. Sure, you've gotta search through 50 useless reviews to get 5 helpful ones, but there's usually good information in...

No, you get one year from AMD on OEM procs. The 30 days you're referring to is through NewEgg. If there's a problem in the first 30 days, you can return it to NewEgg for a replacement. Beyond 30 days, you have to go through AMD for an RMA. Retail AMD's have a three year manufacturer warranty and...

Good call on the ValueSelect. I've used it on three system builds and it's hands-down the most reliable memory out there. You can always go with 1GB now to save money and add more later. Good point, enginurd. I don't think you can force VS sticks to stop working. They're workhorses that should...

Part of the $20 price difference is name recognition. Part of it are the additional features that enginurd mentioned. I'm not sure what flavor of BIOS the Foxconn uses, but I've never been impressed with them. They just seem cheap and low quality to me. However, I'm sure you could find at least...

Oh yeah. Make no mistake. The 7900GS is a fantastic card. I love it. If you're not itching for DX10, then I'd jump on that 7900GS deal with both feet. With full SM3.0 support, you can play those Tom Clancy titles and probably any other Unreal Engine 3 games that drop soon. With UE3 slated to...

If you're not going to up your PSU budget, I agree with Bbq here. If you bump it up even $40-$50, there are several good options.

Dangit. I knew I'd forget some things that I wanted to say. I actually own the case and the RAM that I recommended and I couldn't be happier with them. As for my graphics card, I went with a PNY GeForce 7900GS. While I'm certainly happy with it, I also own the X800GTO. If I had it to do again, I...

OK. Here's my two cents.I'll explain my choices later. Abit AB9 - $125 - About $20 more than what you had chosen, but a fantastic mobo. Intel E6300 - $181 - No comment. Same proc you picked. PSU - $48 - Also the same PSU you've already selected. Corsair XMS2 - $124 - About $15 more than...

Hey everybody. I'm a longtime system builder with very little experience in the GPU department. My main system is still using integrated graphics. I'd like to have the ability to display Aero in all its glory when Vista rolls out. Also, I haven't really been too pleased with DVD and DivX video...
