    Graphics card died, what to do?

    Well like the title says, my gtx 280 has been stricken with the pink screen of death, rendering it useless. Although I'll still try to stick it in the oven as a last resort, I highly doubt that will achieve anything. My rig is gtx 280, intel e8400, 4 gigs of RAM and a 22" monitor...

    New Gaming Build

    Well after chugging it out on my now-defunct P4 rig for 4 gruelling years I have finally gathered enough funds to build a new system. Apart from casual computing this system will be primarily used for gaming, preferrably giving me 1-2 years to bask in graphical goodness. As of now I'm running...
