Count me as another that had a card die on the 191.07's. My 8800GTX was rock solid for 2 years. Then a couple weeks back I started getting hardlocks playing Left4Dead2. After a couple of times it got to the point where I'd be connected a minute or two and then lock up. This persisted with about...
Yikes, way to rip on my post everyone. Since I saw COD4 for $32 the other week, I said it was a rip-off at $45. Of course it is worth the $50, gameplay-wise. So are Psychonauts or VtM: Bloodlines, and they're only $10 during this sale. Since I'm poor at the moment, any game has to be cheaper...
10-50% off Steam games, actually. And their entire catalog is discounted by some degree. So while Call of Duty 4 is still a rip-off at $45, Bioshock is OK at $37, and then there are some unbelievable steals like Psychonauts and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines for $10.
Good time to send a...
For those who don't like mail in rebates...
Dell Small Business has the Logitech z5500 5.1 speaker set on sale for $182. It's Dell, so naturally tax will be added, but here's the kicker -- the deal includes FREE next business day shipping! For a 60 lb. box, this is a damn fine deal.
Go buy...
OR you could order it from the OP's page (here) for $239 then run the rebate on that for a final price of $189 plus shipping.
They must have stuffed something up and put two product pages up or something. Take advantage of it :D.

Well actually, since music is mostly 2.1 (except for some funky remastered Dolby Digital stuff) it is actually fair to compare the two with music.
With regards to the speakers, they're top of the line computer speakers. Sure you can get better, if you venture into proper stereo gear. But...
What, they're trying to raise awareness of their search engine. It's called MARKETING. They've been doing this for a while:

But when it comes down to it, what's the search engine...
You missed the 12 page thread in the "Displays section?

Like everyone else says, it's P-MVA. I'm sitting here typing this on one right now, it's gorgeous.

Since FASA recently went belly-up, odds are slim for another Mech game. There is that mod that someone suggested early in this thread... but then, how many mods do you know that see the light of day?

You say this like it's a bad thing. IMO, chess is a perfect exemplar of what I like in a game -- easy to learn, hard to master. Evidence that people like games like this? Chess has been around for >500 years.
I think my 8800 just cried a little when I fired up a screenie of that game :D...
There's my problem with modern sims right there. I don't want a hardcore simulation, but I don't want pure arcade either. Hardcore sim, I'm trying to figure out which of the 28 keys that I pressed was wrong; meanwhile, my plane tailspins. Arcade shooter, easy to learn but is booooring.
I just...
It is indeed a good price, nice find Non-Toxic.
As an alternative, the Egg has a slightly overclocked version for $10 more ($490 plus shipping). And they throw in Company of Heroes for free, if you haven't bought this awesome game yet.
