    Max Payne 3 -- When Rockstar 'pushes the envelope'

    That's kind of hard to do. They just keep coming and coming and coming. The entire airport fight was my favorite though. I kept replaying it because it was so epic.

    Max Payne 3 -- When Rockstar 'pushes the envelope'

    I've not beaten this game. I'm stuck on the Airport mission with the cop/security dude. I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to beat this guy. I've got a shotgun and he's got an MGL-140 and on higher ground than me. Plus all of his lackeys won't stay dead.

    I almost made the mistake of buying something on Origin

    I just redid my OS. I ended up copying the entire Origin folder to a backup drive. Then when I reinstalled it I took the entire original directory and copied it back after I reinstalled Origin. Then I clicked on BF3 and hit Download. It then said, "Installing" within a minute. and I was up and...

    That's a pretty good price. It'll probably be gone before my tax money arrives.

    Verizon Upgrade Help

    Verizon will allow you to upgrade early. I did it with my last two phones because they were both pieces of crap. But don't expect any great prices or discounts. You have to pay I believe $30 for the early upgrade plus full price for whatever phone you choose. Last upgrade I did was an LG...

    New build, ideas welcome....

    I've really been out of the PC building thing for too long. When I build my last serious rig was back in 2004, the norm was, more power is better. So, that's how I've built my rigs since. I've only built one since 2004 and that was back in 2011 and it gets hot. I figure it'd be good for my son...

    Nice. Thanks. I'm about 45 minutes to an hours drive from that Microcenter. It's the only one in Jersey actually that I know of. I've gone there a few times. How are the MSI motherboards? I've only ever used ASUS and haven't ever had a problem with them. I guess I've been limiting myself...

    This is the case I'm currently running. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121010 It's a nice case, just doesn't move air too well. It'd be good for my son because the most taxing game he plays is Minecraft.

    No, I do understand. This processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 Is $20 more expensive than this processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284 The Intel is a four core and the AMD is an 8 and is still cheaper than...

    The case is just a generic HTPC case. As for Intel, I'd rather stay with AMD, it's all I've used in 12 years.the price of Intel's procs is a bit too high.

    New build, ideas welcome....

    An mATX motherboard would be fine. I don't have any preference. The rig I'm on currently is an HTPC case, while smaller it does tend to over heat when I play taxing games like Medal of Honor Warfighter and Battlefield 3. I liked the Cooler Master case that I linked above because it puts the...

    1)What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc ***Gaming; 90% will be single player. Also web surfing. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? ***$900+ could be more. Tax, shipping included. Preferably ordering from one place. 3) Which country do you...

    Oh, sorry. I guess that's why I wasn't getting answers on the other thread. Sorry. I'll fix the links and answer the questions when I get home from work. I'm on my way out the door. Thanks for letting me know my links don't work and thanks for the help.

    I'm planning a new build. Last decent rig I built was in 2004. Believe it's specs are still in my sig. I need to update it. I don't get on here as often as I once did. Anyway, since the 2004 rig I built another one in 2011 but it was a budget build and I spend roughly $700 on it. This...

    Need suggestions on a super budget build....

    Of course I'm building it myself. Oh, did I post this thread in the wrong place? Well then, that would obviously why I've gotten no answers. Thanks. :D Heh, I just reported myself. Awesome.

    Need suggestions on a super budget build....

    The idea is for my son. So, I need suggestions on a cheap build for my son. When I say cheap I mean cheap. Under $400 cheap. He isn't going to need anything too fancy. Hell my last rig that I built cost me about $700 and the one before that (which is in my sig) cost me about $3k). I'd like...

    Front Mount Audio Jack?

    I ended up ordering a Vantec one because the one I made wwhile it fit the cables were much too short to reach the motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820276011

    Front Mount Audio Jack?

    Tried my hand at making one out of the old jack I pulled out of the Chenbro Gaming Bomb 2. Doesn't look too bad. Messed up the bezel a bit but considering this was my second attempt I don't think it looks half bad. I screwed up the first plate badly, broke it while trying to drill it out...

    Which Pc configuration is good for Games

    Yeah, if you want an overpriced piece of junk built with parts that'll be obsolete in a few months. OP, why don't you try building a computer yourself. There are plenty of people on here who would be willing to help you pick parts within your budget.

    If Bang & Olufson Made a Case

    Damn. That is a nice build. I tried my hand back in November of 2011 to build my own case out of diamond plate and plexiglass. Needless to say, it never got finished because I lack the skills to do such work.

    Best Aftermarket Fan Screws for GT AP15 fans

    I use nuts and bolts for most of my fans. I usually go to Lowe's and but a package of stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers.

    Front Mount Audio Jack?

    Damn, those are nice. Edit: I browsed through their website and for the price of a head phone jack, mic jack, two USB 2.0 ports and an external SATA port it's $36. I was able to find nearly the same setup on Newegg for $20 and the one on Newegg has a card reader as well. Now, even though I...

    Front Mount Audio Jack?

    Thanks for the links. I wish I could get the USB 3.0 but my motherboard only supports 2.0.

    Front Mount Audio Jack?

    Does anyone know where one can get a front mount audio jack with maybe 1 or two USB 2.0 jacks? I've looked on Newegg but its listing card readers with the audio and USB jacks. I don't need a card reader; I've already got one.

    Need a new heatsink...any suggestions?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up with the GemII S524 as well as a Vantec Tornado and two small off brand 60mm fans. The new case is all finished but I do have to say, I expected the Tornado to be loud, just not this loud. I need to get rid of it. It's too loud. Does anyone know of...

    Microcenter + Free Games = LOL...right.

    This is why when I go to Microcenter I immediately tell them, "nah, I don't need any help. I'm just browsing." Then I make a beeline to what I'm after. In fact I'm going there today for a CPU HSF.

    Need a new heatsink...any suggestions?

    Thanks Tourist, I've been looking at reviews like crazy. I'm not too concerned about the noise, when I had my Chenbro loaded up with 120mm fans (7 in all) it literally sounded like a jet engine. I also wasn't sure where they took the measurements from, I was taking them from the motherboard...

    That's the one I wanted but can't find it anywhere, not even on EBay. I currently have the Loki 92 on my EBay Watch list so hopefully after I get paid tomorrow.

    It seems like it'll fit but Newegg nor Microcenter carry it. Any idea where I may be able to procure one?

    No? No one has any suggestions? Ok, how about the Zalman CNPS-9900 Quiet? Any good? It'll fit in my new case.

    Need a new heatsink...any suggestions?

    Hey guys/gals...long time no see/talk/post. I'm still running the case in my sig; at least I think it's in my sig. The guts have changed a few times and currently I'm running a Cooler Master 212 EVO heatsink. But, I'm switching to a smaller case as I'd like to put my rig on my desk. So, I...

    Need suggestions...please help...

    Ok, so it's been several years since I've been on here and it has finally happened. My rig that I built in 2004 has finally met it's match, the rig is in my sig. I bought Battlefield 3 on release day and my compy won't run it. So, with Skyrim on the horizon I figure it's a good idea to do a new...
