Built this new rig in January of this year. Been running like a champ. Came home the other day from work to find my PC was off (I leave it on pretty much 24/7). Press the power button, power light blinks and goes out, blinks and goes out...

I have an extra pre-order key for Titanfall on Origin I need to sell. I originally pre-ordered from a Direct2Play but decided to buy it direct from Origin after the fact.
I've plugged the key into Origin (didn't complete the claim, obviously) and confirmed it's a standard language...
It's been six years since I built the bones of the rig in my sig. After seeing a deal pop up on this CPU, I just had to go ahead and build out a new system. I think I did well:

I hope Gabe wasn't just trolling these guys. But this is huge!
Apparently this is a pretty fantastic top-down, retro-ish, shoot-em-up.
Gameplay video
The live action Launch Trailer has a very Drive movie feel. Though I'm pretty sure there are no live-action cut scenes in the game, but it gives you a kind of feel for it.

So I've hooked up the SPDIF Out from my old IP35 Pro to my shinny new receiver, a Yamaha RX-V671. Using the SPDIF out on the mobo, which is Realtek alc888, using the newest Realtek drivers.
I'm only getting 5.1 sound when the source from the PC is DTS or Dolby. Games and video files that...
I'm not quite ready to upgrade my whole rig, but I'd possibly like to get a SSD in the mean time. My board has SATA2 (3Gbps) via Intel ICH9R chipset. It'll obviously be a massive speed improvement going to SSD, but will it be too much of a waste to not have it on SATA3?

Normally around $120. This is a steal. Probably won't last long.
EDIT: Told ya! They are back up above $100

Is this to be the Xbox 720's architecture? Or just a random patent?

Looks to be pretty badass. 4 years in the making. Yeah, it's on the HL1 engine, but this is from the guys that did Afraid of Monsters, so I think it suits them well to stay on HL1.

Looks like the Devs are shooting for a Summer 2012 release now.
The newest update dubbed "Gorilla" has revealed the Onos and Jetpacks. The game is coming along quite nicely now.
Best commercial anti-malware out there. Great compliment to a free antivirus like MSE or Avast. Also, when you buy Malwarebytes, it's a lifetime license, no need to re-up.

I have a Dell Latitude E6420 (work laptop) which has HDMI out. Video works fine but the driver dosen't seem to support audio output over HDMI. I've checked the Playback Devices (showing Disabled Devices too), but nothing relating to HDMI or HD Audio, just the normal on-board audio.
