    White trash and death metal collide

    I'm serving this on my ftp currently Karate champions I apologize for my crappy upload (45-50ish) but this is one of the funniest things i've seen in awhile. This gives anybody that listens to metal a bad name :(. Enjoy... hehe

    Great Codec Bundle

    http://www.btinternet.com/~nimosiro/ For those of you who hate looking for specific codecs as much as me here is a nice package of codecs/utilities. Might be a repost but its a great bundle nonetheless.

    A gamepad for 2d gaming?

    Yeah I wish I could justify spending that much cash on a controller though hehe. I remember reading about that beast in Maximum PC, looks like its built well but the price tag arg.....

    A gamepad for 2d gaming?

    I have quite a few 2d fighters/platformers on my pc, though I lack a controller to truely enjoy them. As of now I have a Wingman Rumble pad, possibly the worst dpad I have ever used. I have looked at all of the popular brands (I try to do research before bothering the forums :P) though I...

    Best Method to change Cluster size in xp?

    The title says it all pretty much. I'm setting up raid 0 currently with two WD 120JB drives (experiment more than anything) and wanted it set 16 strip/16 cluster. Any help would be appreciated I've spent way too much time on this already.

    is there a reason why my creative 52x cd drive sucks?

    I remember this drive using the same or similar technology as the infamous kenwood drive (I unfortunatly owned one of these). null Stay away from anything that says "Multiread" as they often have issues with many cdrs and overall just suck complete ass. :)

    Raid with WD "special edition" drives

    I have 2 of the 120 gig drives coming to me in a few days, I was wondering if any of you currently have them in raid 0. I'm curious on all of the models seeing as speed difference is minimal between them. I've only found one person that put them into raid so far and the benchmarks were...

    Stupid question...

    I suppose I thought this was funny more than anything. He worked in IT for 5 months when he was mysteriously "let go". He recently copied a divx movie (Vanilla Sky) from my machine... anyways it turns out it was a bad divx rip. Instead of thinking that he says to me "The network must have...

    Stupid question...

    One of my friends has this weird idea that by copying his mp3's over a network somehow makes them sound worse. He claims he copied his mp3's off somebody elses machine (he was reformatting at the time so we stashed them on a diff machine) and in the process of them copying SOMEHOW they...

    help me pick a couple vid cards

    Situation 1- I assume your sister isn't too keen on drivers/driver issues. Last time I checked ATI still had some SERIOUS issues with their drivers. I would pick up a geforce 2 for her, which did indeed trash the radeon in all tests. A geforce 2 gts card is like 30$ now(32 meg) and will run...

    NEC Multisync P1150 21" or Dell Sony Trinitron 1600HS 21"?

    Go for the Sony, its hard to beat their tubes on refresh rates unless we are talking about EIZO, which is much more expensive. Though its a "Dell" monitor, its a Sony tube and thats what matters. I've seen several Dell monitors in stores, the only difference to me was the plastic around the...

    what the hell brand of G-Force 4 Ti4400 to get ???

    Clicky The chaintek card seems to have the most overclocking potential out of the bunch, plus it looks cool as hell if you care about looks on a videocard.
