Nikon F2:

Can't you make 300k/hour with GF gear and vases in crypts?

I don't think drawing or 3d renders are as interesting as building stuff piece by piece. Legos are expensive but Minecraft was only 10€ for unlimited amount of blocks :) I've been building all kinds of stuff, mostly unfinished because of server issues or the simplicity of subject, and...

Well Diablo 3 surely isn't as good as Diablo 2 was back in the day. Maybe 8/10 because of the extremely cheesy and bad plot, uninteresting characters and small, repetitive maps.

What I did: 1. Install & update Ghost 15 which came with Samsung 830. 2. Clone the C partition to SSD 3. Tried to boot from SSD and realized drive letters are borked -> back to original windows, in regedit loaded SYSTEM hive from SSD's windows/system32/config and removed all entries from...

Firmware upgrade was pretty painless. 1. Extracted the files from Samsung's .iso 2. Made 1024MB fat16 syslinux bootable usb stick with http://www.rmprepusb.com/ 3. Copied Samsung's files to stick and renamed isolinux -> syslinux. 4. Booted from usb stick, firmware upgrade software ran and...

So I switched the reference cooler of Asus HD6950 2GB to Arctic Cooling's Twin Turbo 2. I removed the cooler carefully and did everything according to instructions. Heatsinks for all kinds of chips, waiting 5 hours for the glue to set etc. Now my idle temps are ~30C for everything (DispIO...

Thermalright Macho (HR-02) is pretty nice. Comes with a 14cm fan and all parts are metal. Easy to mount, done many builds with Macho. Price in Europe is under 40€, should be less in USA :) One review where you can see the all-metal parts...

I have Retail Windows Vista Home Premium. I know Microsoft wants me to pay for the Upgrade version if I want to upgrade from Vista and keep my files, settings etc. But is it technically possible to do the in-place upgrade with an OEM version? I don't care that much about what Microsoft...

I wish every game supported FXAA. Even on lowest quality it's good enough for me at 2560x1600 and performance hit is very small, smaller than normal 2xAA. Ingame support is a must because other solutions blur the whole image, including GUI elements & text, not just the rendered 3D view.

Whining about 7970's price is like complaining about Lamborghini's pricing.. When you offer the best stuff in demand, you can set the price. No one forces you to buy one and there will be more affordable options to the tight pursed consumers.

I'll post this here too. I think the sandbox mode is pretty fun for the $10 I paid back in the day. Since I don't have that much imagination I've been reproducing existing buildings. I like getting the blocks just right more than whacking some mindless players or monsters. Batman: Arkham...

That's why I play with arty a lot. Especially in a platoon it's qutie fun, always something to do. Weaken the enemies where my team is advancing or destroy the remnants of enemy attackers where my team's defenses failed. If nothing else is happening I'm hunting for enemy arty's tracers. No...

You can beat Morrowind in under 2 minutes :)

2GB 6950 for 240€? Not in Finland I bet :P Prices are still 300€ and over.
