    Modern Warfare 2 online play

    FAIL on IW's part. They deserve it anyway after basically saying "FU" to PC gamers by not putting dedicated servers into the game. There was a petition before the game came out that had over 1 million signatures (including mine) basically saying that those people were not going to buy the game...

    PayPal to Soon Allow Payments Without an Account

    Very nice. For some reason I haven't been charged anything to transfer money to my paypal account and I've done it a few times O_o This question is kinda off-topic, but it's still about paypal. I'm getting $1,000 paypal cash from Lockerz at this month's redemption. That money will be put into...

    Very nice ;)

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    for what you want for the price, probably yeah. There really isn't much demand for Mini-ITX so they aren't made as versatile :(

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    ahhh that's what I was wondering about. lol it didn't hit me till now. That motherboard uses the same RAM as in laptops (200 pin SO-DIMM), so no it wouldn't work :( I can't find any other good AMD micro-itx motherboard on newegg that's capable of PCI-E 2.0 either.

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    for the xfx radeon 5450, it possibly wouldn't work for 1, maybe 2 reasons (depending on which PSU you're getting). First, it needs a minimum 400W power supply. Is that Sea Sonic power supply at least 400W? and second, that card's interface is PCI-Express 2.1 x16. The board you're getting is only...

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    and also note that unless you are into gaming or very detailed HD video editing, you should probably go with an AMD processor instead of Intel. That board Kougar found you will work well with HD video, and would be cheaper than the mobo/gpu combo I suggested. here's a good dual-core AMD...

    Did Intel Admit that GPU's are Faster than CPU's?

    BAHAHA that's epic. Fail on Intel's part. But seriously, GPU's are getting faster and faster every few months and new processors are only being released with little clock speed boosts every year or so.

    Will the Removal of PCI in Intel's Upcoming Chipsets Affect You?

    won't affect me at all. I'll just buy a PCIe sound card. big whoop xD but yeah, I was one of the people complaining about AGP support being dropped for a while, but I got over it, and the comp i have now doesn't even have AGP. I'm using a PCI graphics card. LOL

    wow really? I activated physx on the card I currently have (xfx geforce 8400 GS) and half life 2 episode 2 looked so much more lifelike with the physics. O_o lol my response to the friend that said i'm wasting money was "If i really wanted to go all-out and waste money on a monster rig, I would...

    oh and if all goes well, I should buy this rig after my next paycheck comes in next week :D I'm hoping to redeem my points on Lockerz for $1000 paypal cash (yes i have that many ptz lol) and that will pay for almost all of it, so only $400 will actually come out of my pocket. And yes, Lockerz...

    Thoughts on this HTPC build.

    Very good build. looks like it'll work great for you. a couple things though. First, I personally will not recommend a Celeron processor, because it's just basically a stripped-down Pentium processor, made cheaper and less powerful, and the fan that comes with them get really loud from time to...

    well since I've never tried to install liquid cooling, and that cooler is only $90 on NewEgg I'll probably go ahead and get that; I feel safer with that in case anything leaks.

    hmm so how much would a decent liquid cooling system cost? I'm looking for something decent, but not high-end. ________ buy easy vape vaporizer

    alright so I'm definitely going to want to buy liquid cooling for this setup sometime in the fall, because I'm gonna oc the i5. I have no experience with liquid cooling and would LOVE help on the subject. what's good to get in the way of liquid cooling, and how do you install it? Many thanks in...
