I'm actually looking to build/buy a rig somewhat similar, anyway I can't help but notice that the date in the photo is August 2007, but you said you spent $3000 to build it in June? Sorry I don't mean to nitpick or anything, just wondering maybe it's not an accurate photo...

It's not that they aren't offering any warranties -- the disclaimer pretty much says they are not responsible for accuracy of their own test. Which I find it to be kinda ironic. Anyway I just thought it was worded somewhat differently than a standard disclaimer that at least says their own...

I like the "Important Notice" at the bottom of their website: Important Notice Northeast Maritime Institute, Inc. makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in this document. The information is supplied based...

lol @ "high-end PC gaming" :rolleyes: At the end of the day, all game is, to the 98.5% of the ppl that plays them, is a way to waste time - hopefully in an enjoyable manner. Does it matter if you spend 2hrs playing minesweeper on your 386sx, or you spend 2hrs being all "l33t" fragging away...

Whatever it is, it's gotta be a pretty long-term project, as there's plenty of life left in WoW, and Bliz certainly don't want to take interest away from the games that they have announced. But I'm pretty sure it's going to be World of Lost Vikingcraft

I dunno I always had trouble with knights -- mostly with NE. Probably cuz if you let human live that long to get knights, it's usually GG for NE anyway... lol And Pally against UD... it's pretty rediculous... Which is why the nerf to tower is gonna hurt human -- I've lost many games...

heheh Orc doesn't need any updates -- blizz is altering all other classes AROUND the orc! I'm primarily an NE/UD player, dryad nerf kinda sucks. The nerf to scout tower is gonna hurt, but I don't know why they are beefing up knights to give them more dmg... cheers, yass

I've had a samsung 42" 720p plasma since around this time in 2004(one of their first "long-life" plasma panels. I use it daily (anywhere from 4-8hrs). Most of the times for TV/video and very occasionally computer/game use. Countless sport programmes were viewed on this panel with many friends...

I'm also playing the waiting game too... I'm looking to build a moderately powerful machine arnd Q4 time frame. I'm looking to spend about $250 max on a graphics card as I think that's arnd the sweet spot in terms of price/performance. I also prefer a single card solution for heat/noise/power...

perfect keyboard for our alien overlords with flat fingertips and haven't yet mastered the art of typing with more than 1 finger. but seriously, that looks painful to type on... lol yass

And they do charge accordingly for it I think. :) yass

I hope that most readers here knows the difference between a company like VM, who *assembles* the components for you, vs. TigerDirect or Newegg, who more or less just sell the parts. I would not be so presumptuous to assume that everyone who visits the [H] will only consider buying parts...

While I think them Yahooligans need to get their collective heads out of the ground, you have to remember that Carl Icahn isn't exactly the type who goes around "rescuing" companies... He made his fortune as a corp raider suckling on Mike Milken's junk (err, I mean, 'lol high-yield' ) bond...

I think the system prices are reasonable, considering you get a built system and a warranty... I wouldn't get the HD or the graphics options thou -- those prices seems a bit high... A lot of ppl don't want to assemble a system from SCRATCH, but are perfectly happy with plugging in an extra...

The type of games that I really like on PC are RTS-ish kinda games (warcraft/starcraft AOE)... nothing like that exists on the console I guess -- probably cuz of the controller issue. However I'm truly hoping that xbox360 will have keyboard/mouse accesories... There was this vicious rumor...

I'm excited for it. I'm pretty sure I'll pick up one when it launches... It'll look awesome on my 42" HD-Plasma. :D If you don't like the game, don't buy it, simple as that. Will I mod it? Probably not, that sorta defeats my purpose of wanting a plug-n-play minimum hassle game machine...

According to a german source, they are also reworking the talent lines so they can accomodate the extra 10 levels, and not just you got 10 more talent points to put in the current telent trees. They'd have to, if not we'd have a few million Mortal Strike + Death Wish warriors running...

finally an intelligent post! Yep MSFT's core business is their OS and there productivity suites. But it's pretty well known that they really want to break into some other segments -- hence the foreay into consumer electronics/gaming in the first place. I bet they are willing to continue to...

Actually I was referring to the idiots who would argue till the end of time on the merits and defects of systems that they haven't even seen, much less played on. On the other hand, the financials of MS, Sony, and Nintendo are widely known. :rolleyes: MS can throw money at a problem for...

I love how every thread that even remotely relates to the game consoles will inevitably degenerates into an e-peen size comparison between individuals from the various console camps. Of course the true irony is that probably nobody has even seen, much less played on any of the aforementioned...

Who cares? This whole thread is turning into a pokemon battle using game developers... "John Camack I choose YUO!!!" Again, who cares? You like the game? You buy the game. ohhhh innovation, wow, sorry, I don't pay or play "innovation", I will pay for A GAME THAT IS FUN TO PLAY. They...

Does your game have a subway system? :p cheers, yass

I was considering the revolution, then I read that it will be no-HD, and that to me, automatically disqualified the console for me for further consideration. The ppl who says that 480p looks good enough, obviously has never seen a properly calibrated HD-TV showing 1080i or 720p HD content...

Hi guys, I'm trying to find a full-sized keyboard whose keys' *feel* resembles that of a notebook -- specifically the Apple Powerbook -- easily the best feeling, most comfortable keyboard I've ever typed on... Does anyone know if those kinds of "notebookish" keyboard exist for a desktop? My...

Well I'm waiting for Google's game unit to come out... It should be simply called... Gunit, and running on GwiFi, with access to your own Gmail and Gmap, and an entertaining collection of old-time arcades and family programmings freely available to all people in a newly created zone called the...

lol http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/07/atom_chip_miracle_machine/ the Atom Chip SG220-2, based on a 6.8Ghz "quantum-optical" microprocessor, coming to CES next January! Take THAT Intel! You just got GGed. :D cheers, yass

ymmm... Powerbooks sure are tasty! Of course it's normal, with all that "power" surging through that supercomputer-in-a-chip G4, some tingling is a necessary feature, NOT a bug! :p oh yea, definition of electrocution: n. 1) to kill with electricity. 2) to execute with electricity...

You make it sound as if AMD has been in this position forever -- remember that AMD was a virtual goner when their Athlon came out as a last-ditch effort. Intel has *vastly* more financial clout and marketing muscle than AMD, not to mention market share. While they erred on thrusting forward...

http://www.apple.com/powermac/performance/ "The PowerPC G5 out-shoots the Pentium 4 in a battery of tests. But it’s in the rough-and-tumble of real-world performance that the G5 really shines — shredding the PC’s reputation in the process." :p hahahahahahahahahahahaha cheers, yass

Apple probably likes Intel chips for their DRM crap, and I think more importantly, Intel's got PM. Notice how long it has been since a MAJOR upgrade in the Powerbook line? Would it be a big surprise if Apple were to introduce a dual-core Yonah(sic) Powerbook next year?? <drool> At any...

Obviously you've never played super mario cart at a drinking party while high before... ;) Only little kids play "real, gritty, hardcore" games. Ohh look aliens and monsters SCARY! Gamecube has the best party games, of any consoles, period. If this thing is backwards compatible...

Blah, I've seen the XBox2 already... http://www.ukrshops.com.ua/us_files/images/4a42/0/1870.jpg :rolleyes: bet ya if you paint it white you can hardly tell the difference! lol cheers, yass

umm, my I9300 + mouse + powersupply easily stuffs into a one-hand carrying bag, and more importantly, I can disconnect/reconnect it in idunno 10 seconds? heh Total weight probably around 10lb. I also have a Shuttle SFF, it's about 20-30lb just by itself. But it's not so much the weight...

a slim-line Dell Optiflex? :D we got hundreds of those at work... damn ugly imo. Pearl-white? To make sure it won't match up with the mostly silver/grey/black home entertainment systems? I don't care how good the innards are, the designers should be fired... lol

Hi, I've pretty much given up on trying to set it up properly, was wondering if anyone has done something similar: I have a multi-monitor setup running off a 6800NU (my desktop machine) I have a SGI 1600SW (1600x1024 widescreen) designated as primary, and a Dell 17" (1280x1024) as 2ndary...

Hmm... considering I've moved my Inspiron 9300 4 times total in the 2 months since I had it... I wouldn't mind having a 19". :D I think it's a cool idea -- great big screen, no it's not a notebook that you would want to throw in w/ your books to school/work on a daily basis, but it's...

Dell Inspirion 9300. Hmm, if anybody else makes a similiarly powerful laptop at the price that I paid for mine(a shade over $2000), and with a better looking package, I'm all over that. As of right now, no, nothing is better -- yes you can get the xps2 for $500-$800 more, but that case is...

lol so true! Every class in WoW sucks! OMG Pally can't kill, Pally sucks. OMG Rogue can't live a 1v1 rogue sucks! OMG Sharman... err... nvmd OMG Sharman sucks they kill everybody! Personally I wouldn't play EQ2 for the simple reason that I am just wayy too comfortable with world of...

Bouncing CANNON BALL OF DEATH = GG NO RE :D Especially with 8 of them flying around back and forth... Only thing better than that would be a BIGGER FLAMING BOUNCING CANNON BALL OF DEATH. cheers, yass

Who the hell cares what ppl play? As long as you have fun, right? So EQ2 ppl thinks WoW is boring, limited, etc. I'm a WoW player and the reason why I bought WoW is because I'm so familiar with the entire warcraft series -- i played warcraft 1 and have been a blizzard fan ever since...
