    A+ exam

    I know i receive vouchers for free re-takes of exams and discounts on comptia exams simply because i signed up on their site. Worth a shot, otherwise i would use their site to find the nearest testing centers to you and see who has the best price.

    Reinstalled WinXP on this laptop 4 times...Windows Update doesn't work.

    Going to second this. This is what we use when we do a XP install at work anymore because of how flaky updating through the normal channels has become over the past few years. I normally just keep a flash drive handy to use for this purpose.

    Craving a good online / co-op game. What to play?

    I've been playing Far Cry 3 CO-OP a lot here recently and it's insanely fun.

    Is now a terrible time to build a gaming PC?

    I just built a new one myself and am loving it. I've been catching up on titles from the past few years that my laptop choked on with the settings cranked up.

    The Universe Project

    Honestly sounds like an amazing game, something i would really want to get in on the first wave of if it doesn't end up being vaporware.

    Overclocking Outside - Any concerns?

    Could always just use ducting to bring in the cold air to the fans if you're worried about putting the whole pc outside. I actually just use my garage as it is not insulated, but i still have normal outlets and all.

    Ugh. Radeon 7970 and Vista 64

    Vista, to me as some one who works on computers every day for a living, is no better than Windows ME. I despise working on machines running Vista. One of the main reasons being that most companies slapped 4gigs of memory into machines with vista and then had the balls to install the 32 bit...

    AMD Llano laptops have been disappointing so far

    As some one who works for Office Depot I can say that as of now our desktops are almost all llano based that we carry in the stores. Our laptop selection is pretty evenly split between llano, core, and pentium based machines though. Sadly for some reason our best sellers during black friday were...

    Need a gaming headset recommendation

    I would imagine a bit of the discomfort comes from those being on the ear headphones as opposed to over the ear. I will say that those would certainly be easier to carry around if you do travel with your gaming pc.

    Need a gaming headset recommendation

    I don't doubt that in the slightest, however, the hot keys and controls, fit of the headphones, and the battery life when you are using them as wireless was something the lower end ones did not offer. Also, as someone that games in a fairly noisy home the noise cancelling on them has proved...

    Need a gaming headset recommendation

    I've used quite a few headphones and mic combos over the years and i've yet to find anything that comes close to my g930s. They are a bit out of the price range you mentioned though. 7.1 Surround and a 10+ hour battery life made the choice fairly simple for me...

    Water Block for a A64 3200 DTR w/ 1mb of L2 Cache

    The reserator would be your best bet then, you wont get the temps you would with a normal watcooling rig but if you cool the cpu and video card you'll be damn near silent wiht that.
