    Lian-LI PC-V2000 Doohickey...

    So, in every picture I see for the Lian-LI PC-V2000 (like the one here), there's a nice shiny verticle bit of metal with black thingies and long, long screws coming off to the right in front of the motherboard area.

    Strangeness in display and my GeForce3 (Freedom Force)

    I just installed Freedom Force (quite a cool game, by the way) on my home computer, which has a GeForce3, and although Freedom Force was supposedly designed aroundnVidia ships, when I try playing, I get a really funky screen, instead of the nice, non psychedelic ones.

    So, I live in a dorm, where they get kinda pissy and cut off my internet connection ifI upload too much. I know it's possible to cap the upload speeds in Linux, so I was wondering if anyone had found a simliar way to limit bandwidth in Windows 2000, or any other MS OS for that matter.
