    I'm playing fallout 3 for the first time and could use some advice.

    On the wasteland survival guide quest is it possible to complete the quest without killing a mirelurk? I know it must be or it wouldn't be an option but I can't seem to avoid the critters and I have a sneak of 60.

    I'm playing fallout 3 for the first time and could use some advice.

    I know I'm late to the party but I'm finally going to start playing fallout 3. I want my character to be a smooth talking sniper so I'm going with small arms and speech. What else should I tag? Repair? Sneak? Would these be good stats for a sniper type character? 4 Strength 4 Perception...

    Please help me select a Samsung monitor.

    My Hannspree died and I'm looking to buy a new monitor. Preferably from a local retailer. Reviews on Samsung seem to be generally positive and these three models fit what I'm looking for. This will be primarily for gaming. Any advice appreciated. The one that stands out is the new LED...

    Is the Asus VW266H a decent budget monitor?

    Yeah, some reviews have mentioned poor color out of the box but I'm set on getting a mid sized monitor with 1920 x 1200 resolution and there just aren't that many available.

    Is the Asus VW266H a decent budget monitor?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236047 I like the 1920 x 1200 resolution. I like the size. I like that I can buy it locally, and I like the price, so I'm hoping anyone that uses this model for gaming can comment on their experience with it.

    Can this Hannspree monitor be saved?

    Hannspree 25" Cost $250.00 Less than three months out of warranty. Symptom. The monitor keeps going into sleep mode. If I turn it back on it shuts down again within 2-4 minutes Is it worth repairing or should I just toss it? I obviously don't want to pour a lot of cash into a fairly...

    Question for WoW players. Which class has the game best buffs?

    OK but what about buffing people for free. EQ players were always handing out free buffs to low level characters. Can you do that in WoW?

    Question for WoW players. Which class has the game best buffs?

    Do all the good buffs require the player to be in your group? I hear druids get a good one called mark of the wild.

    Question for WoW players. Which class has the game best buffs?

    Druids, Paladins, Priest? Other? Not just group buffs but players that aren't in your group. http://www.wowwiki.com/Buff

    Is this a good MB choice for a gaming rig? (evga)

    I place a premium on reliability and customer support. EVGA is well spoken of here but I just want to make sure it's the correct choice.

    I would appreciate recommendations on a 5770.

    Thanks for the suggestion but I thought the egg shaped cooler was the new reference?

    I would appreciate recommendations on a 5770.

    Some have better reviews than others but I'm not sure how much weight to put into that. I have an account with newegg so I'd prefer to order from them with amazon being my second choice...

    How many video cards are failing?

    As a general rule, is it better to buy a video card locally, so it will be easier to return? I can purchase a 5770 at microcenter for 200 or mail order a 5770 for 30 to 40 less. That's a huge premium to pay just to save some time if the card is a lemon.

    I hate you, Newegg.

    If not Newegg, which other companies have better customer support and return policies?

    Microcenter has the I7 930 for $199

    Is the difference between the 920 and 930 substantial or incremental?

    Which brand is louder: AMD or Nvidia?

    The question is legit. I have hearing loss and background noise makes the problem worse.

    Which brand is louder: AMD or Nvidia?

    I need a video card for gaming. The rig will not have any type of exotic cooling. The rig will only have one video card. My budget is around 200 dollars.

    Can a decent UPS be found for less than 100 dollars?

    Such as this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842111031 This will be for a game machine, i7, single video card, not over clocked. PS. Anything other feature besides auto voltage regulation that I should need my ups to have? Thanks

    Buying an i7 920, but need suggestions for the mb.

    http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0302866 I'm prepared to spend the money, if that's what it takes to get a reliable board, but it just seems odd to be spending more on the board than on the CPU. Thank you for the suggestion.

    Buying an i7 920, but need suggestions for the mb.

    This CPU won't be over clocked and will probably never have dual video cards. I just need a reliable MB that won't break the bank. The system is for gaming. Thank you.

    Fry's i7 860-biostar T55CFX-sli mobo $249.99-$20 MIR=$229

    That MB should be good to go as long as you don't over clock - correct?
  30. Z

    What is the difference between the 920 and 860?

    There's been some discussion over P55 stability. To be clear, that's not a concern unless you plan to over clock - right?

    Need a recommendation on which burner to buy.

    All I care about is reliability. Burn speed is not important to me. Is this a good one? I selected it, because I recognize the brand and it got solid reviews. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827249054

    Need recommendation on buying a Nvidia.

    This will be a gaming rig. My favorite types of games are FPS and MMO. I'd prefer to keep the price below 200 dollars. My monitor is 25", but I might upgrade to a larger size in the near future. I am content with medium settings.

    Is silver certified recommended for the i7?

    But is the TX good enough? I think the most I'll push this system will be a possible CPU upgrade next year to the i9 and maybe multiple hard drives. The ram question is up in the air - four G for now, but I might go higher (with win 7) if the gaming need is there. Thanks to everyone that has...

    Here's a 750 watt that is silver certified for only a little more than the 850 watt that isn't certified. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010

    Is silver certified recommended for the i7?

    This could be marketing speak so I'm going to ask here. Over at Newegg, there's a corsair that is advertised as silver certified, and Newegg has a notice that says that silver certification is recommended for the i7. Now, I was looking at another corsair that isn't silver certified, but is the...

    e8400?

    Frys has a Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q8400 & MSI P45 NEO2-FR Motherboard for 149 dollars. That's a pretty sweet deal if you're looking to build a medium end game rig, yes?
