  1. Yeah it really is the star at my LANs. Everyone has to look at it even if they have already seen it before. Yeah haha that wouldn't be my first choice but obviously it works pretty well.
  2. It's actually pretty simple. The CPU itself only has a TDP of 73W. He's cutting it pretty close but it plays games just fine. I agree though, he is a very smart person. He's got a bright future ahead of him. Yeah back during my December 2010 LAN it would overheat after about 30 min of L4D2. He has since tweaked the cooling and at my latest July 2011 LAN he never had any problems with the cooling.
  3. Back in 2010 my friend turned a NES into a HTPC build. So far it has only been able to be seen in person. Now he has finally uploaded a video of it up to YouTube. I thought you guys & gals would appreciate the novelty of this build. [url= ][/url] Specs: * Original NES Case * Intel i5 650 @ 3.2Ghz * 4GB DDR3/1333 @ 8-8-8-24 * 500GB 7200rpm Seagate HDD * PicoPSU (Which I believe is the 120W)
  4. I love you. No homo. A hour ago or so noblock was turning on & off and it was like Christmas again. I'm assuming you had something to do with it...

    Thanks!!

  6. New Hard Drive

    If you want a good 1TB drive I would highly suggest the Samsung F3. It is one of the fastest and most proven 1TB drives on the market today.
  7. With In-N-Out around here I never really eat at McDonalds. The only time I really eat there is if I'm on vacation.
  8. This. Garry doesn't give a fuck about the quality of Gmod. Notice how all of the popular gamemodes were made by third parties and not Garry himself. The only thing he has done was create a LUA scripting layer on top of the Source Engine. All he cares about is money. Just look at how long it took him to finally make Linux binaries for Gmod. If he really cared about the quality of Gmod he would of had those Linux binaries out on day one.
  9. AMD and Intel are both coming out with new chips next year. I would wait until they do before you go planning a build. From the looks of it they should be considerably faster than the chips we have today.
  10. I believe that is wife spelled backwards.
  11. Tech support. Gonna be hosting a LAN with some friends this year. Were gonna play us some good old MP horror games. Zombie Panic! (HL1 version), Vampire Slayer, The Specialists: Zombie Mod, and hopefully my new Paranoia gamemode on Garry's Mod. Shits gonna be fun.
  12. At first I thought those were laptops and I thought those were bad prices. As a PC though those prices are just insane. If I were you I would just build my own. You can get a computer that is miles better than any prebuilt if you build your own. If you know how to work a screwdriver you can build a computer. From what I can tell you want a computer around the pricetag of $2,000. Here is a reference build I put together in only 15 minutes. ASUS P6X58D - $290 Intel Core i7-930 - $285 EVGA GeForce GTX 480 - $470 2x Mushkin Enhanced Redline 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3/1600 - 2x $180 SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 1TB - $75 LG 22X DVD Burner - $17 CORSAIR AX750 750W PSU - $170 COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler - $30 SILVERSTONE RAVEN RV02-BW - $160 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - $110 Subtotal: $1,966.89 http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=14683952 Mind you this is just a quick reference build I put together, but it is pretty complete. You can also drive the price down even more by checking out other sites besides Newegg. PS: Another thing to consider is the fact that Intel and AMD will be releasing new chips next year. If you're patient enough and your current rig can last you until next year I would advise waiting until then.
