I am thinking about picking this thing up but am worried about it in a cosmos 1000. Anyone have that case and this cooler?

Yea that is how much they cost for like 3 years of extended warranty at our local fry's. You can look at my sig and see gaming is of the highest importance so the lag would put me off. At this moment I have to buy a couple of 40" and a 55" so a new monitor may be on hold for a little while.I...

That is how it should be, I have no problem if said item says that it is to last a certain amount of time and then dies a little before that but don't state things like it will last six years and die in half of that. I think that is what the Westy had as a life span on the back light but I may...

That is a good point but it is also like $300 for the extended plans and what if it fails in 4 years instead of 3 so it is a gamble and really I think that that is crap. The damn thing should just work for the price you pay for it not extra cost because of poor quality. There are a few that I am...

I agree that a small led hdtv is king for gaming and would love to get another one but spending a grand for two years of good desktop use and another as a so so tv left a very bad taste in my mouth. All in all the sharps look good but will it last five years?

The new SSD's are wicked fast I am looking to get one after I close on my house. They boot into windows with you being able to run apps and do things in 30 seconds flat. My raptor is still pretty fast and gives me no problem with boot times.

Yea Costco rocks! As for yours dying in a few months I would say yea get ready for it to do that. I read in this thread ages ago that that is what happens so I didn't get to mad but my wife was livid and it is understandable. I am having a hard time using my 24" because I think it is just to...

I expected five years of life out of the thing not three to start with budget brand or not the thing still cost budget money that was still over a grand! The thing that kills me is we end up having to re-buy the same things over and over again it isn't right.

It is your hdd upgrade that and your boot times will improve.

as far as the heat doing in your monitor i would say it is just age. i downgraded mine to just tv use in november and it died this past friday the 30 of april. It started to make buzzing noise like yours a few months before its demise. Also it had terrible burn in for only a few secomds of a...

As far as Cases go I have a CM Cosmos 1000 and I love it. Granted right out the box it has some issues. For one it has terrible cable management, I mean it looks like it does but when you start to add things you see there is no room behind the mobo tray to route wires. Somebody screwed up big...

Sent payment for the Ram. Corsair Dominator

bump

I have two 8800gts ssc ( 112 sp g80) 640mb cards. if you can knock of say $100 bucks total for both cards we maybe able to work something out.

Bumbed did you get my PM?

You still got bio Shock?

Wow I can't believe this thread is still active. Well I have had my westy since Feb 2007 and it is starting to burn in like crazy so I am going to have to use it just as a TV sadly. Anyone else have this issue?

Hell I am from detroit and that place is so damn segregated!

Race argument is done at least in America. Up here in the North West we are on a nice pace to all become a nice light tan!

I agree life is to short to get so worked up but I love real discussions. And Christian porn is a great start. But seriously I have white, black, and yellow in my family and extended family. Great people that I love and I know we have tons of everything on these boards also that could chime in...

LMAO, yes we do but only for Christian Porn! :D

Ok first I am from a extremely segregated hard city, and have had to live with this shit my whole life. I agree with you that no man should get a job over another because of skin color, but I disagree with you that it was all bullshit. In todays society yes it should be like that but you aren't...

I don't really see your beef with BET (the old version before being sold), and black colleges. I don't think you are looking at the big picture of why they were created in the first place. Their wouldn't have been a need for a Moorehead college if blacks could have been admitted to all white...

Great point, to bad this isn't what he thought of and instead gave us a better way to search for Whitney Houston!

Ok I didn't read the article but I know what this is about because I heard it on NPR or the BBC about a month ago. I have read everyone's post and do agree with the general consensus that this is freaking dumb but I have a couple of points to make real quick. 1. To the quote above, I think...

I don't know why devs keep thinking that releasing a late port with no effort on making it work and look good on the pc is a good idea. I would like to know how mass effect is doing on the PC. I have been holding off on getting it for awhile.

I agree a short story with no modding, wasn't worth $50 to me. I am thinking of getting it now but $30 still seems like to much. Once it hits $20 i will grab it.

I am a PC gamer and just didn't find it to be worth $50, not to mention there was no demo for the PC version. Now for the whole piarcy hurt our sales, this is the first report that I have seen that used real numbers and had reasonable numbers (no 15,000,000 - 20,000,000 pirated copies crytek). I...

I disagree with you on that note, I have run into several people who have pirated games for their 360's and also have their own xbox live type service. I don't disagree that it may be harder but the fact of the matter is that it can be pirated. Also pirated software will always be around, that...

I am sorry that you think that, but the point is not we think that pirating is ok but that they try to use this excuses time and time again to justify lack luster sales. Look at the new SimCity was that game pirated or did nobody want it? Further more consoles are pirated also just like every...

I know that was the problem, on single core systems so I hear the game rocks but on dual and quad core it starts to have a slew of issues! I so want to be able to play the game but it runs like a bag of poo!

That is the point, the game wasn't all that mind blowing and they want $40 for it. When I go to the store I don't think well Capcom said this is a good game and deserves to be purchased, I say which game will give me the most bang for my buck. The game honestly is only worth $10 - $20 tops!

One quick reply to that, I have tried time and time again and can't for the life of me get oblivion to preform well for me to enjoy it. It has been thrown to the pile of unplayable games for me (far to many)! Back to the topic, I really feel that it is the corptocracy that is doing more harm...

It is just part of doing business. Only we get boned the most, we can't take back crappy products like other things and we don't ever get good down-loadable content!

One thing I find quite funny is this notion of the PC being a heaven for pirates when I have seen first hand people with bucket loads of pirated games on the PS1, PS2, Xbox and 360. Piracy is all around, I wish they would bring light to that. But they won't because they want justification for...

Any more damn DRM and I will lose it. It is a pain in the butt to have to deal with, and the only people that suffer are the ones who buy it. I have to download a no-DVD crack for all of my games to use them, and to hell with that well you should use the dvd in the drive. The game don't use it...

My God, why is the answer always piracy is hurting our game sells. If the game was a good fit for PC gamers in general they would buy it. The piracy rug hs been beaten long enough. No one takes into account that a lot of times people download it just to try it out and if they don't like it they...

DX10 and 11 are really pointless at the moment and the next few years. All in all as stated before with the shift in development being console first and PC hardware firmly in DX9 and all developers can do is make things look a little pretty. DX9 still looks gorges and with out being able to make...

I would suggest you save your money and look back in maybe a year or so. Price vs performance is way out of wack on mobile gaming platforms!

My whole take on it is the big media corporations like Viacom need to step into the 21st century. So damn what your video is posted online for the world to see. I am totally about protecting copyright not forcing the world to bow down to you to see it. Let's face it, you tube is a boon for...
