Yeah I was kind of trying to not let out that it works that easily, but.. yeah.. it does work that easily. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=291926&currentpage=9#169

I don't want to get the facts in the way of your schadenfreude , but I didn't break the rules for the final ban, and no rational person thinks games should be cut off as part of a forum ban, especially when it's brought on by a glitchy filter. My experience has unearthed many other people with...

Found a Twin Frozr OC, used, from someone with great heat, $185 :>

Found a used Twin Frozr OC for $185. :D Yes, I was confusing 6870s for 6970s. I drink a lot.

Thanks guys. Yes, I'm in the US and doing a fresh build, but I want to be able to play Bad Company 2 now until BF3 drops. Maybe some Stalker games again for the nostalgia + experience. I like rebates but am wary of them. I've been burned a few times, sometimes my fault for being tardy...

Also here's a 6870 for $169 after $20 MIR. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...e=00-5699391-2 And another for $169 after $30 MIR, with a very (15mhz) light OC. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...008&CatId=7005

I'm seeing a lot of good things about the (non OC version) Twin Frozr, but the PNY looks good too. I'm looking to hit about $200 before shipping, and not from Newegg because they charge me 9% sales tax. Is $200-250 the best that can be done on these, and do they really compete with a 6870...

This looks sexy and PNY is a very reliable brand: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...420&CatId=3669 PNY 560ti, one fan, slight OC, after rebate around $200 before shipping But, the twin frozr has a very good reputation: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...652&CatId=3669 $239...

Blizzard habitually makes their games run well on older hardware, you very likely won't need a bleeding edge build to run it on max. Not that it won't help.

So, we're currently sitting at a completed build, minus the video card. I'm quite happily browsing away with the onboard video on the motherboard until then- BUT I kinda want to throw in a GPU so I can play some Bad Company 2 up until release of BF3. Maybe a GTX 560, and then later when their...

Patriot was a close second but I stuck with Intel. I69-7022 ::Intel SSDSA2CW120G3K5 320 120GB Solid-State Drive Also found better memory, still working on returning my $79.99 mistake. P33-5310 ::Patriot PG34G1333EL Gamer 2 Desktop Memory Module - 4GB, PC3-10666 Gonna have to order to...

I need to put together a basic box for my mom, basically web, streaming video, some office applications, photo editing, etc. She's got an Athlon 939 system currently that I built, but it's showing some age. I'd be sticking with XP. Worked out something for about $250 earlier: $39.99 + $12...

Because I did something stupid and thought I could use it as part of the build path. Should I go SSD alone, or SSD + 64gb cache drive SSD, or SSD + 5400 rpm HDD, or SSD + cache SSD + 5400 rpm HDD?

I love huge cases. My current system is in a Thermaltake Xaser iii. IDE HDD is needed for another box anyway thanks to a stupid stupid motherboard that won't boot directly to SATA. I'd have gotten it anyway. RAM was me being dumb. PSU was me being dumb. I'm also cobbling together a...
