I am in the process of building a new system. I have everything except the Motherboard, CPU, Video Card. What I need is some advice regarding what Motherboard you would recommend and why.. as well as info on whether or not the brand new PowerSupply I have (got for free) will be sufficient. Specs so far.. Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W XFX PVT88GYDD4 GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) LG Dual Layer DVD Burner Seagate 500GB SATA HD. The PSU I got for free is an Antec SmartPower 500Watt Modular PSU. Is this sufficient? or should I spend the $100 + on a better one? Secondly given the above specs and the fact that I would like to be able to easily go to DDR3 and Sli in the future and would prefer solid state capicitors (had problems with caps in the past.. I'll try to post some screenshots that will show why later) what motherboard would you recommend?

Bad day.. Played leap-frog with a couple of Unicorns.

It's all a conspiracy.. even the sinking of the Titanic.. "they" can't be trusted... http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=af07

I'll let this image say all that needs to be said..

Watched a pretty interesting mini-series about this on the Science channel (yes I'm a nerd) It was called "Mars Rising" Talks alot about the issues of communication, technology, cosmic radiation, personal interactions, muscle atrophy, etc. Here's a link if you're interested... http://science.discovery.com/convergence/mars-rising/about.html

We used to play Madden and a few other games including AVP2 on the 92" projector in one of the auditoriums on campus. Ah.. the good old days.

Found this one... a little disturbing.

Multiple things to consider.. I have never been a fan of pre-built machines.. They most likely went with close-out components.. What kind of motherboard is in that case???? Does it even have a PCIE slot so that you can use your current video card? It's worth spending just a little more to get a quality machine.

The quotes are only needed if you have spaces in your name.. EX: name AndreiD - wouldn't need quotes. EX: name "SG AndreiD" - would need quotes.

There's nothing better then Raven's Popcorn!

Sad thing is that this kind of failure happens during real action situations not just in practice.

You will need to put the name in quotes if you have spaces in the name.

It's good to see you've overcome the obstacles in your life.

+Rep for you.. For the LOLZ

If age didn't matter there wouldn't be as many 60 year old balding fat men pretending to be 16 year old girls.. now would there. Yes.. yes.. Welcome to the Internets..

I'll just give you the advice my dad gave me.. Avoid a fight whenever you can.. but once you can't.. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FAIR FIGHT! do WHATEVER it takes to win. Period.

Happy Birthday Bubba!

You'll believe anything..

I think we have a winner!

I believe Slavic posted this link before.. A great guide that gives examples. Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music! http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

Wow.. rigor mortis is setting in. I'll turn 33 in 2 weeks. Good to see that i'm not the only "Old Man" around here.

What Jeep did you have? and WTF did the previous owner do? I had a 91 Cherokee limited. I beat the hell out of it. (Including but not limited to) Driving it without an oil cap and then without much in the way of oil for over 5000 miles. I drove it without problem for another 70,000 miles after that. I put 223,000 miles on it before I traded it in & it was still running like a champ.. The only repairs I ever had to do (not including maintenance) was an electrical short to the brake lights & I had to replace the muffler that I ripped off on a rock. So although I've heard horror stories.. my experience was the oposite.

I always liked the "Venemous Ducks" or VD for short.
