Someone's playing real-life SimCity

Hope they don't go too Saint's Row with this. But sounds like an interesting setting..... who's for some C-4 triggered avalanches....?

eumyang - Yep - U2913WM. Really nice monitor. Shelves are Expedit & the boxes are called LEKMAN. Are plastic and designed to fit the shelves. Have self adhesive felt strips on the bottom so they don't scratch. Also available in transparent red. Just thinking now - maybe I could build an M-ATX...

Main rig & desk: Music system:

Bought a new Toshiba laptop this past weekend. Returned it because keyboard was not fitted correctly. Swapped it for a different Toshiba model then had to return that as well as keyboard (space bar) was defective. Swapped it for an Asus - no issues. Have a Toshiba TV which is fine - but won't...

Noctua fans would be perfect for this colour scheme - it's not often I can say that ;)

My current setup. Damn - my cabling needs tidying :o

I moved my rig from a Corsair 550D which is the quietest case I've ever had (I'm still using it for another setup). The HAF is definitely louder because it is almost completely vented. And of course the biggest factor will be the fans you run. I am using a fan controller for all my fans and so I...

Liking mine. I guess you could use it as a LAN rig - the carrying handles on the sides are plenty strong enough. Mine's here if anyone wants a look: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1039470475&postcount=657

Just a few pics of my (re)build. Moved my existing rig into a HAF XB, added a second GPU and upgraded PSU. These pics show the rig with Kingston RAM which has now migrated to another rig and been replaced with Corsair Vengeance (still 16GB). Power supply is Seasonic 850W Gold and GPUs are 2 x...

And another statistic - 95% of the UBI customers who paid good money for GRFS still can't play it online without it constantly crashing. If UBI thinks the PC games market is such a problem - why don't they just can the PC as a platform? Why do they keep releasing PC titles if (almost)...

Sewer levels are so full of shit...oh wait...

had this problem also - had to use 2xDVI + DisplayPort. Works fine. Not sure the config you're using is supported.

Well I agree we have Steve Jobs to thank for that as well - for encouraging Kotick to drop out of college and get into the software business. Thanks Steve!

I don't argue against all of them at all - but putting Jobs and Apple at the top of both lists? I doubt the lists would have looked the same if Jobs was still alive.

Top five people to have shaped video games: Steve Jobs Gabe Newell (cofounder and managing director of Valve) Shigeru Miyamoto (developer of Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda) Tim Berners-Lee Mark Zuckerberg Top five products to have shaped video games: Apple iPhone Nintendo Wii Microsoft...

Allows you to use RAM like a disk drive, but much faster.

RAM is pretty cheap, so I went for 16GB of Corsair Vengeance with my Sandybridge build. Most of the time I use 6GB as free RAM and 10GB for a RAMDisk, then copy whatever game I'm playing in to the RAM disk (at the moment Fallout 3 is in there, as I've just finished The Witcher). Both games are...

I have one of these cards - shaders unlocked OK and running at 880/1250. Stable and pretty quiet. Probably could go higher on the GPU clock, but only running at 1920x1080 so everything runs pretty well - rather have stability than push it too hard.

The HIS 6990 popped up on http://www.overclockers.co.uk priced at £569.99. It's not available to order, but there's a thread here showing their stock: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=18617602#post18617602

thanks guys - think I will give it a miss. May just sell the 5850 while it's still got some resale value and get a faster single card.

yeah, that was my main concern. Anyone else got any thoughts on this. Don't really want to get in to this if it's going to be a pita.

Hi all, Currently have i5-2500K at 4.2GHz on an MSI P67A-GD65 with Radeon 5850 at 5870 clocks. Monitor is 1920x1200. Would it be worth adding another 5850 while I can still get one? Would cost about £150 UK. Also would I be pushing my Enerma 625W PSU too hard? Finally what is crossfire like...

It's the button for recording macros

OK Done

No need to upgrade my case - I can just crack that card open and fit the rest of my pc inside it.

Maybe someone should trademark the words 'Net', 'Note' , 'Book', 'Lap' and 'Top'. Oh, and does anyone own the trademark on 'Computer'? When I see this stuff it just makes me think how lame the company is that's doing it. These companies should just get on with their jobs and make quality...

MS X6 keyboard here - good backlight and feels pretty solid. But if you want tilt adjustment you're SOL as this keyboard doesn't have it...;)

No, EA won't make this game for US / Europe because as we all know everyone in the US and Europe is a software pirate who will rip EA off - make it as a reward for China and the rest of the far east where there's no piracy at all.... Not to worry though - we all know this game will suck. In...

I will go PC for all three However, I will probably have to use a gamepad for deadspace as reviews here in the UK report that the mouse/keyboard controls are REALLY poor....:mad:. PC Zone rated the game at 81% with all good points except mouse control which they describe as "dogshit"...

Yep, I hope they get something more reliable than the nVidia chipset Dell are using in the XPS 1330M - I've replaced five of them this week alone. And tomorrow I'm replacing a guys 7950 in an XPS 1710 for the third time in three weeks (last one failed within 24 hours) and that machine is a...

The button at the front is supposed to be hard to get to as it's there for recording command macros for multiple button and key press sequences ;)

Well, Home Premium Upgrade was £149 in the UK but now seems to be falling to £100 at retail stores.

I am one of debauchers clueless uncaring Dell field tech contractors - I bow to his superiority as I only have 18 years field experience.... As for Dell not doing on-site service, I must be dreaming that I am fixing Dell PCs in peoples' homes all over the UK ten hours a day. The...

Wouldn't this lead to increased dowloading of warez? If you can't buy it legally in a shop then kids will find a way to download it instead. I'm sure many German gamers do this already to get the 'uncensored' versions of games that other countries can buy legally. I guess a lot of kids do the...

Damn - beaten to it.....must copy and paste links faster :p

OP is talking about this: http://www.coolermaster-europe.com/index.php?LT=uk&Language_s=15&url_place=product&p_serial=RC-830.&other_title=+RC-830.+CM%20Stacker%20830%20Evolution

My copy was only patched to 1.40.

ProStroke Golf on the PC has in-game ads....which means that the loading time for each hole grows by nearly a minute when the ad server is not responding. Had to disable my internet connection while playing to stop the delay....

I have an Antec NeoPower 430W. It's stable with my current rig: Opteron 146 @ 2.5Ghz Radeon X1800XT 1 x 74GB Raptor 2 x Hitachi 7K250 1 x Samsung 120GB 2 x Optical drives X-FI So, should be OK for your rig...
