Exactly, people wonder why I use a CRT, they just don't get that I like functionality, more than I care looks. I dont know about you but I really dont care that much about how my monitor looks, that is just like caring how my case looks, doesnt affect me that much. My desk is pretty big, I'll take the $300 that I saved by using an old CRT, and buy a nice desk, some strippers, and some pizza.

I recently built a computer for my cousin. She plays games like the sims, so she really didnt need much. I sold her my E1280 that for 25 bucks, and I decided to use that to get an E3200 from intel. This speedy little bastard can OC really well, due to it being a wolfdale. Using my G31 motherboard, which is not a good overclocker, I was able to reach 3.2 Ghz using stock cooling and only slight voltage increase. This chip is really good in any DX9 game, and some DX10. More demanding games though, and you would need a better GPU, which means you probably aren't looking at ~$50 CPU's. __________________________________________________ Testbed, My media server, or whenever the noobs in my house cant get on the laptop (gross, laptops, Yhuck): Motherboard: Foxconn G31MV-K Ram: 2x1GB Crucial, @ 900Mhz Video Card: HIS 4650 512MB Windows 7 __________________________________________________ Min 116 Max: 133 Avg: 125 Max settings, 1280 x 1024, 2XAA, 2XAF: Min 98 Max: 120 Avg: 109 __________________________________________________ CoD4 High setttings 1024 x 768, AA/AF off: Min: 45 Max 185 Avg: 81 High Settings, 1280 x 1024, AA/AF off: Min: 40 Max: 174 Avg: 71 __________________________________________________ GTA4 Medium settings 1024 x 768: Min 30 Max 65 Avg 48 Its playable

TNT that made me laugh. Why is there a big ass blue ball on the PS3's?

They've got jewpiter! What!

CRT are the best for gaming cost wise. Sure you could get an LCD for the 120 Hz, but they are really exoensive. You can pick up a 19 inch CRT for less than 20 bucks and enjoy your 120FPS (visible) rather than the low amount from LCD (mainstream LCD, there are some exceptions)

My PC went through the wash. What happened was I was walking down the street and I saw Wrathek and he was like "HEY!" and I was all "whateva" so I kept walking down the street and I walked up to a bar and they are all up in my biz saying things like "Yo man, ID" and Im like "whateva" and I go up to the bartender and say, over 9000 shots, and hes like thatll kill you and Im like "whateva" and while im saying "whateva" these to horny bitches walk up to me and are all "you are so hot, we bet you play CS:S, we can tell because pwnage just radiates off your body" and I am like "whateva" so I walk down the street after drinking all those shots and shotgunning one beer because only cool people shotgun only one and not more and I see Wrathek again and he is still all "PEPPER I AM BETTER THAN YOU" and I whip out my PC that was at my house but is suddenly in my pocket and I just pwn him right there he doesnt even realise it yet but whateva so I put my computer back in my pocket and I keep walking down the street and I see some guy that thinks he is pro because he is walking straight at me but he is also texting at the same time so he bumps into me and I am all "FALCON PUNCH!..." so I pwned him then I walk into a pharmacy and get some trojan XLs and I see someone looking for a pack of tampons then faster than superman I go to the apple store and buy an iPad and I go back to the pharmacy and I shove it in her vagina and she is like "HEY!!!" and I am like whateva so I keep going down the street and some mofo spills some coffee on me and I say whateva so I keep going and I finally get home and I put my pants in the wash but remember how my PC was in my pants they are still there and they go through, I heard them but whateva so at the end of it I toss some shamwows on top of it then it is 100% dry because shamwows are legit so then I turn it on and pwn some noobs But seriously, when I had used my ipod often, It only went through the wash once. The absolute worst thing ever though is thinking that you have lost/dropped it, and freak yourself out for a second.

If you have 512MB of RAm -.- 2GB and up, load times are not even comparable

Edit: I saw an old vid. It might be decent, just called Tactical Intervention though Its based on Source engine, there are dogs Here is a vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKDwJqjSWzE

On the third vid, he says "this will change thing" well, it might.

iPhone Killer -.- Thats like windows will be the only platform to have good games, DOH http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/03/steam-mac/

Hahaha, lucky dude got a free 250GTS I should try that HAHA

[YOUTUBE]JjeWhEo0onc[/YOUTUBE] Edit: The music video that goes with this was really good, but it is now private He is a rapper, and moved away from thunder bay, so he made, and posted that song on the internet. 40, 000 in 4 days when it was first posted

LOL HAH PWned

I saw him today, he is legit with the bhopping, but he isnt that good actually. He can get some crazy kills, but that vid must have taken him a while to make, OR he wasnt trying today

not meaning to troll

he just bhopped behind someone and knifed em

yes, so? when I grow up though, I wont be. I will be smartest adult ever.

phoon, the guy in the vid is in this server RIGHT now! He is LEGIT he and his friend were doing crazy bhops (i am not trying to advertise though) ill remove IP if you want 65.60.52.150:27015

Xenos got hax to kill all of you Just kidding. I DO

Mad dog, DDR2 prices are raising, FAST, 30 bucks for 2GB is really good now and there isnt much of an improvement over DDR2 at 800Mhz with DDR3 I do remember getting 4GB (2x2GB) for $50 a year ago though

Great price, if you have a mobo with 4 ram slots, thats 4GB, pretty good! I am grabbing 3 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227124

Try reinstalling? Use a different compiler (not sure if source maps can do this though, I know cs 1.6 maps could)

PayPal with MasterCard? Is that possible? I only have my mastercard (Technically my moms but w/e I pay the stuff for it)
