Nethack has taught me to respect, nay, worship the RNG!

Whoa, haven't posted here in a while :D So I updated my gaming rig with an MSI 4870 1GB and am moving my x1900xt over to another system. I hooked up the 4870 with HDMI to my 37w3 (few years old now) and I've got just a little bit of overscan on the left hand side, maybe 5 pixels, with a black...

I just installed Vista tonight and ran into a similar problem, on 64-bit Vista with an x1900xt. In the device properties, the error is a Code 12, saying the device could not find enough free resources to start. I installed Vista, downloaded the ATi driver, and installed that, literally before...

Yeah, the previous motherboard had nvidia soundstorm, and I distinctly recall that it had DD live output; that's what I must have used when it was hooked up to the receiver. I have another computer with a Turtle Beach Catalina in it, I'll have to see if that is capable of doing what I do. Worst...

So I downloaded ac3filter and set the output to SPDIF, so now I can pass through Dolby Digital and DTS surround from DVDs directly to the receiver. Games are still stuck in stereo...I read something on another forum that indicated it might be necessary to use analog outputs on the PC to get...

So my trusty Ligitech z560's bought the dust, and I got a real receiver (Pioneer VSX-815) and speakers. My motherboard is an A8R32-MVP deluxe with Realtek HD audio, and I've used an optical cable to connect it to the receiver. I can get stereo sound, but no center or surround channels come...

Hope I'm ready for the game, I waited to order my system until just a few weeks ago: Opteron 165 at 2.5ghz, 2x1GB Corsair PC500, A8R32-MVP, Asus X1900XT, Raptor 150GB, and my trusty 213t 1600x1200. Can you tell I'm excited for this game? Custom samurize config: Click for desktop

So here's what I'm planning to get: Asus A8R32-MVP (wish I'd pulled the trigger last night when they were in stock for $225) Opteron 165 - planning to OC as far as I can go Zalman CNPS7700 Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000SWA - not married to this case, what I really wanted was an all-aluminum...

So i built this system for my friend a few months ago, and ran into problems originally while overclocking, and ended up leaving it with a moderate overclock - no problems since. Tonight we were going to overclock it further, as I'd been successful with another system and learned a couple...

So a few weeks ago, I posted this thread. Long story short, I had a BSOD and in the process some weirdness happened to the file system that made me unable to boot with my 120GB SATA drive attached (not the OS disk, just storage). I figured WTF and ordered this enclosure in the hopes that I could...

afternoon bump. I'm gonna guess no one has used these, so I'll probably just bite the bullet and order it at the end of the weekend if nobody comments.

So something weird happened to one of my SATA hard drives (a WD 120GB) when I got a BSOD earlier today, and now my computer won't boot with the drive attached. I tried unplugging it, booting into WinXP, and then plugged the SATA cable back in, yielding another BSOD. I don't think there is...

Yeah, that's why I'm hesistant to plop down cash for Konfabulator. Menumeter is quite sufficient to get me by for now. Hell, it's always present, which is definitely an advantage over even what Dashboard could do, or using Expose to view the desktop.

Thanks guys, MenuMeter it is. It's almost perfect, the only other feature I'd like to see is multiple network interface support. I'd heard of Konfabulator before and just didn't remember it. I'll probably play around with it down the road, but for now it's free software for me (Mr. Jobs cleaned...

I just got my new PB a few days ago, and I've been doing a bunch of compiles and downloads playing around with a ton of open source software. So it would be great to have an easy way to monitor network (mostly using airport, I've copied some larger stuff I had pre-downloaded on my tower via...

OK, I figured it out. On my PC, the username is exactly the same that I used for the username on the PB. If I change my username on the PB, then it prompts the Windows PC for a password. It must be seeing that the other machine is logged in as "FullUserName" and assuming that since it is already...

I got my 17" Powerbook today. Airport express connected to my wlan, cool, Internet access. Then I turned on Windows File Sharing so I could try streaming some MP3s. Oops, turns out that file sharing lets my PC see the Mac, not the other way around. That's fine, because I want to have access from...

I pay for all of my college, car, insurance, gas, everything out of my own pocket - I have one of those things, you know, umm, "a job." Though I kind of lucked out otherwise I wouldn't be getting a PB. A few months ago, a wheel came off a truck and put a slight dent in my hood and my bumper; by...

I'm just waiting for ADC to verify my student status to order. I'm getting the 17" BTO with the 80GB HD ($80 for 20GB = $4/GB which is crazy, it makes much more sense to put the $80 difference towards whatever iPod is at the $399 pricerange rather than the $299 unit when the new ones are...

I've been doing a lot of Powerbook research lately...on some other forum one of the posters recommended removing the battery while you're plugged into AC power. It prevents unneeded charging of the battery, and also produces less heat. I don't have a PB yet to try it on, but it sounded like a...

I've had my 213t for a year now, and still love it. It had 1 dead subpixel out of the box, and hasn't developed any more. Text is big and beautiful (very crisp), it is good enough for games (you have to look for ghosting, it's not really noticeable most of the time while playing), and I use it...

I'm glad the server is working again, that is incredible work!

Anyone else get a 404 when trying to load the page?

Cool, I just ordered Roswell and 24. I've never seen them, but I've wanted to, and you can't go wrong for $15.

God damn that is nice work.

Your picture host seems to be dead :(

Err, if you looked into it, you would find that merchants that accept VISA may only ask for ID if there is a problem with the card or they have a reason to suspect fraud. They can NOT just simply ask for ID for every credit purchase; if they consistenly ask for ID with no basis, the company...

Oh damn I'm tempted, but I think I'll hold off until at least the new Radeons (retail cards, not just the chip) are announced. Far Cry makes my 9500 Pro cry (actually it looks beautifl even at 800x600 max effects or 1024x768 near-max, even on a 1600x1200 lcd). It's not effective until May 12th...

It's not law, it's a requirement of some group that the company has agreed to follow. So it's voluntary on BB's part (I work there too). It was in retail weekly a few weeks back :D

Yeah, but including the load times it would take 2 hours :p

Some interesting stuff there, but looks like they only cater to retailers...is there anywhere to pick up just one?

From the article, BG3 is canned indefinitely, and my guess would be that they are trying to find a developer to do the rest of Fallout 3, with no one actually working on either at the present time (unless I completely misread something).

I didn't know that Black Isle was working on Baldur's Gate III, also! Damnit, they cancel my favorite TV shows, and stop developing sequels to my favorite games. I'm the target of a conspiracy here.

The only ones I've seen are from Ergotron, you can try Dell (probably under small business) or newegg. I've wanted one of their 300 series for my 213T for awhile, but $250+ is a lot. You could try to hold off until Dell has a 20% off peripherals/accessories, that may make it a bit more reasonable.

For $70 more, why wouldn't you get the extra resolution, size, and inputs? <edit>err, i guess I didn't take the 25% off into account when making my comment :p</edit>

Wow, Thermaltake managed to make a case uglier than the Xaser III :p (I should know, my main PC is housed in one). It looks like some pretty simple updates. FWIW, I love my Xaser (with the TT 420W PS), with all fans to the max it is still FAR less noisey than my Shuttle, but my temps are only...

Wow, that is the most unimpressive picture of an large LCD I've ever seen. You'd think they'd want to show the thing off...

BG was 5 CDs + 1 for the expansion, BGII was 4 + 1 for the expansion.

I do believe your sarcasm meter is malfunctioning, I'll dispatch a repair team immediately.
