    Valve can kiss my rear

    Yes, many. Valve is still making serious bank from TF2. Hell they make a buttload just off of MvM tickets & key sales alone. Not bad for a game they give you for free. U.M.

    Valve can kiss my rear

    Good idea! I'm seriously contemplating it. Yup! I too got the series 3 Red Spy & Engie about the same time. However when the series 3 Blu Spy & Engie did not release on time I emailed NECA and asked for an updated release date. This was the response I got from their sales department, "Hello...

    Valve can kiss my rear

    Well considering I have invested a little over $250 thus far and can not complete the collection now because Valve has directed NECA to cease & desist making the remainder of the characters... Well I don't think there will be such a thing since they stopped production before all the characters...

    Valve can kiss my rear

    /Rant On Okay so I'm a Team Fortress nerd. Been playing the game in one incarnation or another for more than 15 years. Valve got together with NECA and started a line of 7" TF2 action figures. Being a fan of the series I started buying these figures as each series was released. Both Red & Blu...

    High Tech License Plate Frame Beats Red-Light Cameras

    So the sensor in the frame is faster than the speed of light, right? I mean how else can it sense the flash from the redlight camera and then activate it's own flash in time? Someone please explain this to me... U.M.

    ASUS Official Z68 Chipset Motherboards - Support Thread

    Okay whether I did it right, or wrong... I took a SATA cable and connected one end of it to P4 and the other end of the cable connects to the back side of this: I did this in case I ever decided to purchase a eSATA drive in the future. Last, but not least why would I want to take my USB...

    ASUS Official Z68 Chipset Motherboards - Support Thread

    Okay let me explain the P4... I have an external SATA port on the front panel of my PC case. I ran a SATA cable from P4 to this external connector. There's nothing connected to it though. I can remove the cable, but I doubt that will make any difference with the issue I'm currently having...

    ASUS Official Z68 Chipset Motherboards - Support Thread

    Okay now that you've educated me on this what are the drawbacks/disadvantages/benefits of GPT vs MBR in my instance and will I ever be able to leave my external drive connected and get my system to boot (without resorting to a fresh O/S load) or am I just SOL? U.M.

    ASUS Official Z68 Chipset Motherboards - Support Thread

    I have to admit I do not remember seeing or being prompted to choose between UEFI or non-UEFI when I initially installed the O/S. However it's very possible I was provided with this option and I selected whatever was "default" being as this was the first time I'd ever used and/or installed to an...

    @cisco guy No I'm not using SRT. Okay now that the RST question is out of the way we'll move forward. I'll admit I had to look up what a GPT was. When I decided to build this system with an SSD for the O/S I did a lot of reading, but never encountered anything about GPT. So once the system...

    ASUS Official Z68 Chipset Motherboards - Support Thread

    Okay lets take this one step at a time. First off I'm having difficulty locating the "Advanced" settings for RST. When I open the Intel RST app I get this interface/screen with no "Accelerate" menu selection: I have v10.5.0.1027, do I need to update?

    No joy fellas. I can only assume at this point that I'm a complete dumbass and am not understanding what's going on with my boot process. I am in "advanced" mode in the boot menu of the bios. I have 4 choices for boot devices, they are: SSD on SATA 1 WD 1.5 Internal on SATA 2 DVD on...

    What's the best combo for eyefinity connections?

    I have two Sapphire HD6970's running in crossfire and I've got three 24" monitors which all have DisplayPorts on them. Is there an optimal connection method? Should I drive two monitors with DVI-D and one with a displayport, or two on displayport and one on DVI-D? U.M.

    New Sapphire HD6970 2GB crappy performance.

    Okay... so I guess I wasn't expecting 3DMark11 to stress the card as much as it did at such a low resolution. While watching the test I kept thinking to myself, "Why does the picture look so bad"? The old 3DMark tests used to look beautiful... So I downloaded my free copy of Dirt3 and...

    New Sapphire HD6970 2GB crappy performance.

    So I just put my new system together last night and have only got Win 7 Pro loaded and a few bench marking apps. Once all the drivers were updated I've been going through and testing the different subsystems to ensure the performance is where it should be. Everything was looking good without a...

    HELP! Old IT guy builds new gaming PC.

    Wasn't sure what you were referring to so I did a quick search and I guess some owners are seeing Windows freeze and it is supposedly due to LPM? Appears it's mostly laptop users with this issue but there are desktop users seeing it too. I haven't had windows freeze on me yet, but then again...

    Dell 2407WPS... Good for 3x1 Eyefinity setup?

    Thanks for the clarification. Initially I thought you were saying the 2407 is a POS because of ghosting and input lag. As stated I've been gaming with this monitor for 3 years now and I've never had any complaints with it. U.M.

    Dell 2407WPS... Good for 3x1 Eyefinity setup?

    :rolleyes: I'm going to have to say that these issues, if my current monitor has them, are not a problem for me because I've never noticed any ghosting or input lag. So would you opt for the HP's then? U.M.
