    I need to figure out how big a PSU I need

    This depends on bios and motherboard and my manual says "power problem". Considering that if I put another PSU in I am good to go again I tend to agree. I'm just frustrated that I had 2 problem PSU's in a row. Is there a surefire way to figure out my power draw? The v1 e6400 for example...

    ASUS M3A76-CM

    Never mind me. I'll leave this here for a laugh but I'm an idiot and didn't plug in the extra 4 pin power cable.

    Dell Optiplex gx 620 PSU

    I punched in the service code and its' coming up as a OptiPlex GX280 so it might be that instead. Regardless it's a minitower and the hole only has room for the power plug and no button. I did a bit of reading and they seemed to imply that it was a BTX power supply (not that I'm sure what the...

    Upgrading Videocard, 4890?

    Ok fair enough. Since I need to buy a card regardless though, and there aren't really any benchmarks for this game, then should I just get a GTX 260 and maybe upgrade to 4GB of memory?

    Upgrading Videocard, 4890?

    At high settings and those resolutions the frame rates can drop quite a bit with a lot of people on the screen. I'm gonna give the x1900xt to a friend who plays at a lower resolution.

    Here's what I currently have: GA-965P-DS3 2 GB memory x1900xt E6400 550W PSU I haven't been keeping up to date but will I be limited by my CPU with one of these newer cards? I mostly play WoW on a 24" monitor (1920x1200). It might not be the most demanding game but I like to play...

    Can you name all the people you've had sex with?

    I find it hilarious that people need to clarify what kind of sex. Obviously some very confused people here. If the man was talking about oral sex he would have said so.

    Do pornstars really enjoy the sex they're having...

    Been a couple documentaries about pornstars. Those that make it big and get a salary position do a scene or two a week. They work their way up from girl on girl to couple to anal and beyond. Depends on the money for most. I mean if you hand a 18 year old girl $2000-$5000 a week she'll do...

    If anyone has any experience with this I'm all ears. I have to set up a number of indoor and outdoor cameras at work along with digital video recorders. I got a quote from two alarm companies and they wanted $10,000-$15,000. I have spoken to some of my customers though who spent a few grand...

    Guy at UCLA computer lab gets tasered (now with youtube video!!)

    I think they should take their "hall pass monitors" (CSO) and Campus Police and tazer them in front of the whole school. Then they should rub mace in their eyes. Then they should set a policy in place that checks everyone for ID as they enter if that's what they want and feel so strongly...

    Guy at UCLA computer lab gets tasered (now with youtube video!!)

    I didn't think so but I'd hate to think that anyone would wish harm on this guy. He wasn't a threat. I'd rather they tazer the a-holes who watch porn in the computer lab.

    How Legos are made

    Supply and demand. Legos are awesome. People will buy them at almost any price. $100 for a set? That's hours and hours and hours and hours of playtime. It's the same reason why parents won't flinch at buying a movie for $29 for thier kids.

    If anyone here is approving of the cops behavior then maybe they should at least understand what being tasered feels like. It's like getting hit by a train. So sudden, and so hard.

    Guy at UCLA computer lab gets tasered (now with youtube video!!)

    This kind of logic is really flawed. It only works when the cop is right. Cops aren't always right. I've had a cop put a knife in my buddies pocket and tell him that it was used in a murder. He then told him that if he didn't give up his drugs (he didn't have any) he would be framed for...
