Henceforth I shall go! Manys thanks!

$200-$400 is my budget

What are thes best LCDs for FPS gaming thse days? My Viewsonic VX2025wm is gettting old and I need something bigger. Looking for a comprehensive side-by-side article for gaming LCDs is not turning up much. Repsonse time is a BS stats these days as every panel in town touts 2-5ms although i...

I agree with BigBacon, look at your average BC2 map, that would take weeks, if not months to make even with the right production tools. Still I agree with OP, I miss all those custom maps, the good ones. But alas, LevelLord is probably oiling up his boiler on some white beach somewhere in...

BF BC12, go get it now, NOW!! Nuff said.

I'm still using my trusty Viewsonic vx2025vm for all my 1st person shooters, but will have to build another gaming rig soon. I have found that the new LCD tvs are lag ass for gaming, so I ask: What are currently the best LCDs for highspeed first person shooters? (20"+) Thanks!

Are there any reports of any MicroATX boards on the way or in the wild with Socket1366? I need to build some portable 3D workstations in Thermaltake Lanbox cases and the i7 platform seems to be the way to go in the future, but I need a Micro ATX form factor for portability! Does it blend...

I'm confused (see "Smoking" above), average people really think like: 1) OMGORZ!!!! 2) The implied usage HELP!!:p

"We disguised Windows Vista.... so regular people who've never used Vista could see what it can do." I think the logical implication is that they let these users, use, Vista. But you're right the marketing speak is carefully worded to not state, they used Vista. Unfortunately they didn't...

And what is MS's point Steve? That promotional videos are good at persuading people to like a product? What if these Vista haters actually used vista, hands-on, out of the box, like the campaign falsely implies, would the outcome still be funny? I have an idea, but I'd really like to know...

Based on this, shouldn't [H] post a little update thingy under the story, or does is does a persuasive promotional video pass as conclusinve cement over at [H]. For a site that is so accustomed to defending it's unorthodox testing criteria, to get behind a marketing campaign like this would...

(One of the videos: Vista User) "type calc and you're using the calculator, its right there" (Windows 95 User) "Windows+R type calc and you're using the calculator, its right there" And the one negative video they chose "We can't please everyone", of course was shown the promotional video...

Has anyone had issues with resolution changing when you switch inputs using the onboard HDMI with this mobo? I'm getting these unwanted resolution changes when I switch inputs on my Sharp LCD TV (42" 64U) when switching from my HDMI input 6 (P5E-VM HDMI Onboard at 1080p) to HDMI input 5 (HD...

They (Mattel) already did that: http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/01/hasbro-matel-te.html

Looks like EA develops games as slow as they write patches! At least they are consistent. How long does it take for a 1000lb video game gorilla to write a simple flash Scrabble Facebook app?

scooter_mcgilicuddy: I have to thank you for teaching me: That instead of actually addressing the relevancy of an issue, one can follow these 5 simple steps: 1) State that the issue is not news but amateur FUD 2) State how the volumes of information proving this are so vast, no mortal could...

I was looking for something a little more concrete than "I'm right because I have an MBA". No one is right because they have a degree and it's not a credit to your degrees to assume someone disagrees with you because they don't know what market channel management is. Perhaps they actually have...

Do tell why? Ummm Do tell why? Sure this is your super awesome opinion on what YOU think a manufacturer SHOULD do, but... back it up. Some manufacturers that largely rely on the sale of components for finished goods (ex. NVIDIA) CHOOSE to make it their strategy to just sell as much product...

Awesome! Is that how the customers take it?

Ok, I've been installing systems for years, but I don't really see the damage here, then again I've never worked on a Honda Civic. It looks like a bunch of harnesses have been unplugged, RCAs taped to the wiring harness. Sure it's a sty, but where's the 12K? I'm sure a fried master harness would...

Thanks all! I will look into the resounding APC suggestion!

Is anyone else having signal problems when switching between the P5E-VM HDMI port and other HDMI or other devices on the same LCD? Whenever I leave my HTPC with the P5E-VM hoooked up via HDMI for and switch to another input on my Sharp 42" 64U (digital HD box or DVD player) for an extended...

Does anyone make an impressive (fans, lights, design) server cabinet? Like 72U double wide with doors. I need something flashy for a server room fire suppression demo. It will really only be housing a pair of lian li tower servers, a few switches and UPS. Maybe just buy a steel cabinet...

It took a few years of dragging me kicking and screaming about "real world gaming experience" but finally, you win Kyle & Brent. Your argument is really tough to poke holes in. Cheers!

Killer review. Nice job.

This system is all e-penis. Why the hell would you fill the room with amps and towers? What about a nice stealth setup with movie curtains on either side of the screen. Obviously he wants everyone to know how much he spent. Room for friends to watch the football game? Uh, nevermind.

Warpath owns me. What a great map. TF2 is going strong, tons of packed servers, a huge modding community. Valve will continue to support with goodies, we just have to wait until Christmas.

Thanks guys, looks like I will go with the SP35P2 and Intel Core 2 Duo E6750. Looks like a better case and I like the sound of the 1333mhz bus.

I'm finally replacing my old Athlon XP (sig) system and building a portable gaming Shuttle rig. I'm all about the best bang for the buck, which has usually led me to AMD, ATI. Now it seem like the Black Edition with a 8800GT is the best bang for my buck. Here is the system: AMD® Athlon™ 64 X2...

Ya PDF is pretty much the standard format for emailing documents in my experience in IT and Real Estate. Mostsy because everyone can open them and you can easily protect them from editing, printing, etc It think the fact that many people look at PDFs as "safe" attachments, makes this...

The game looks so awesome, but I'm skeptical. These are the same asswipes that have been lying to us for years about TF2, and with all this pandering to console players, I think it's very probable that they will take this gorgeous new game and totally fuck it up to sell thousands of copies to...

The MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 is sick but they don't make it anymore. But lots of stores probably have stock. I've tried most other sticks and nothing comes close for simplicity, durability and compatibilty. The high end Saiteks are cool, but too much for simple flight sims like bf2 iMHO

All the BF1942 Exp packs BF2:SF, BF2:AF, BF2:EF BF2142 Yes I'm a sucker and EA's biotch.

Ugh not sure why I'm responding either, but. I'm a hunter and have shot many guns, no AKs, but M16s and countless rifle rounds. I'm also a science/physics geek. No the Ipod did not stop the round. Yes it slowed down the bullet, AIR slows down a bullet. Significantly? Well as many of you...

Good thing it wasn't a nano ;)

:p hehehe I tried to generate ananagram, no luck there although at first glance it looks like a good candidate. All I got was: a licence or rstt :(

Nice system, the 7900GT is a monster IMO. Will keep you going for quite a while while the DX10 card prices drop. I'm still sitting on my old 850xt pe, but would definitely go for a 7900gt if I were upgrading today.

You mean this $60 coaster I have my coffee on? No don't buy it. Its fun for a little bit, but most people are in it for the ranks, and the team play dissolves into nothing. Keep you BF2 cdkey handy for when the Mods start coming out, once EA stops blocking them.

Holy frikken laser beams

Could it be a Vista + 64bit thing? I play at 1680x1050 on my older rig, in sig. No AA most things turned on high.
