    Can Piracy be Alright "Sometimes"?

    I have pirated exactly 2 games. Those two games were Final Fantasy 7 for the pc. Because I didn't feel I need to pay for a game that it's developers gave up on, and the only reason why it works on the pc is because of the hard work of people like you and me... GAMERS! The other was, damn, I...

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    Ok just some updates. So, I got it home that day, as said above it was a night mare it didn't fit. I thought I would just buy another case, however I found a low profile cooler from thermaltake. It is incredibly low profile. The case also didn't come with the adapater for the slim drive no...

    Is a New "Tech Support" Scam Impossible to Stop?

    Could this be solved by running safe mode then uninstalling what ever was installed? Not that everyone knows what safemode is sadly.

    Want to Post on Blizzard's Forums? Prepare to Debuff Your Privacy

    Normally, I would agree, but the blizzard forums is by far one of the most disgusting forums I've ever experienced. The problem is, lack of moderation, poorly design forum, and the biggest problem by a mile is, the INSANE amount of people using the forums. Personally, if this is the way they...

    Windows 7 Sells 150 Million Licenses Since October's Launch

    I would have to agree, unless this is a motherboard from 2002 most on board audio solutions are very decent, and there has been almost nothing windows 7 has not been able to find. Unless the peice of hardware itself is so old XP couldn't even find it.

    Sounds like my only real option is to go intel, get an i3 and a solid on board intel chipset

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    Ahh, well I talked it over with the wife and while she likes the idea of getting the price as low as possible she doesn't agree with possibly sacrificing quality to get there. so i think I am going to see about that amd route listed above. Also if I go with an AM3 chip will ddr2 ram work with it?

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    Well my tv is only a 720p tv, I wouldn't mine streaming HD but its not really important. The ram is corsiar xms ddr2 800 all the same speeds and types. I thought about going amd I just couldn't not find a decent priced mini itx one. I won't be playing any games other than maybe some emulated...

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    Thanks, I was doing a little more research and I think I am switching to one of those lian li cases that stand sorta upright, and getting a sea sonic psu, caused the price to jump about 110.00 but I'd rather be safe and use a solid case with better cooling still tiny, and a good psu.

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    I'm getting very close to getting the green light to pull the trigger. This is actually going to be a basic setup to begin with. Small, and able to fit on a shelf above my tv. Its going to be a straight replacement for our cable bill. With so many shows airing just a few days to a week...
