    Yet another... New build thread

    I'm looking forward to it, thanks! That's the same SSD I was speaking of, it is about 20 bucks cheaper on Amazon currently, seems like the best bang for the buck on a reliable SSD with decent capacity. Currently there is a MSI 970 for like $25 more than the 290x you listed, I think it's...

    Yet another... New build thread

    I've run a few Asus boards in years past, albeit it's been about 9-10 years since the last one. I ran one Gigabyte, and it was mediocre at best, but again that was 15 years ago. The last few MSi boards have done me really well. I liked the Asus boards, but the customer support left a lot to be...

    Computer won't boot when I stand it up?

    Thanks guys, I didn't use any fiber washers because the mobo didn't come with them. I don't think that was causing it though.. I found that I accidently put an extra standoff on the case, and I think that was contacting the mobo and causing it to short.... Hooray for an upright case.

    Computer won't boot when I stand it up?

    Alright, so I got my new build together.. installed vista, started o/cing and whatnot. So I was satisfied where I was at and decided to stand it up (It's easier to reset cmos etc with it on its side). So I go to stand it up, powers down. I think hmm maybe something came loose? I make sure all...

    The ***Official Warhammer Online*** thread!

    Eh, there hasn't been a thread that someone would deem official, so I guess you get a cookie for doing that. As for your quote, they are stating that in 10 days since beta opened that over 200k people signed up for the beta. You misunderstood them, this was over on the WHA forums when mythic...

    The ***Official Warhammer Online*** thread!

    They opened it up on may 30th or 31st. I remember signing up on the 31st... so its def been open for about a month now. They also originally planned on releasing it Dec 2007, but pushed back to Feb 08 I do believe. Thanks for the post but it isn't exactly new news.

    Dying 10 year old uses the Make a Wish Foundation to visit Blizzard

    The key to enjoying life is happiness. So what if someone's definition of happiness doesn't match yours, let them have their way and you have yours. So if some kid that is dying finds enjoyment in playing WoW, so be it. Sure he could do other things if he isn't stuck to a hospital environment...

    Starcraft 2!

    From looking over the site I'd say the game is at least 1 year away, probably closer to 2. Really excited for this game... anticipation is gonna be a bitch. So, there is time to add new features, and polish up the graphics, although I like them very much. They did state as posted earlier...

    New EQ2 Expansion Announced

    Ahh... the trains of Karnor's, the farming of old seb. I remember pulling as a cleric to a group of wizards/mages/pally tank for AE domination. Farming for my Donal's set. Killing trak for the first time... getting my epic weapon. Memories *tear*... Man I don't think anything will ever live up...

    World of Warcraft

    Nope, meant less room for error. If one person goes afk at the wrong time, casts the wrong spell, misses a heal etc- its going to be felt more in the raid. Also going to be harder to recover from. In BWL if one healer went OOM, playing alliance we had time to let a paladin's blessing of light +...
