    Oh, the irony with Spore....

    I'm a PC ad in Far Cry 2

    The ads don't get in the way at all..... it's very well done and not noticeable. You pay for the developers effort to create/publish the game etc..... The DRM does help to protect their "rights." I had no intention of ever pirating and am glad I can play online, because frankly the SP was...

    I'm a PC ad in Far Cry 2

    It's great if your winning frustrating if you're not because your team is likely pretty crappy.... The gameplay is pretty fun once you get going. The server browser and waiting and the occasional bugs are the worst part. But from what I've said, you could pretty much describe any number...

    You would think a $46 case is crap.

    Looks nice! I like the painted ocz xtc cooler. That just flat black spray paint? (it seems it's still a bit shiny) or am I just out of my mind and it wasn't painted? I was thinking of doing the same for mine.

    Q6600 temps

    What speeds are you running at? Ambient Temp? Load temps? (using latest version of prime or something else that loads all 4 cores) Looks good though.

    Vista x64 and CPU temp

    This worked wonders for me. No need to offset anything. :D And no need to delete vista updates or do any f8 startup tricks. http://www.overclock.net/opera...64-coretemp-tweak.html I still can't figure out how to get ATI Tool working though.
