  1. Sorry it is not that old, well, unless you think that 3 years is old. It's a Toshiba Tecra M7 Tablet PC. Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz 2 GB of RAM 80 GB 7200 RPM HDD 128 MB Dedicated NVIDIA Graphics Card It still manages Battlefield 2 on Medium settings. It just wasn't designed for gaming, its a tablet for work.
  2. The powerbomb when he was caught in a triangle? I liked it, I thought it was a simple demonstration of what happens when you keep your triangle on when you are lifted to above standing height.
  3. Should be good with a Saitek X-52 Flight stick. Looks good, don't care about the inaccuracies at the moment, I just want to play.
  4. Yeah the first didn't ask for much in terms of hardware performance. Really happy with that. This game gets under your skin man, and its not the crappy regular horror crap. I could do without the drinking of the blood, but its' still great.
  5. Jesus, I've just been playing FEAR for the first time since my old rig could handle it, and man, scares the crap out of me. I can't sleep!
  6. I must have missed what Ribbons was saying about the new drugs then. Ghost Train is right with the Molecular Bio, it will serve to make her virtually ageless.
  7. PGs are just a matter of time and care (90%) more so than skill (10%). Thats if you give it a decent paintjob and finish. If you want to add special weathering effects and all, you might need to have a lot of experience and skill, but that won't be the case if you just want to give it justice.
  8. Through observation, that would be the wrong conclusion as well. It would seem that the pills have nothing to do with the mutations going on in Louise at all, but rather to control her anxiety. Have you ever seen someone that had a panic attack? it's not pretty. They have to take benzodiazepines to keep them calm, and I believe that they are along the same line. She always seems to take them after freaking out.
  9. Shoot me if I'm crazy, but is it possible to put two Radeon HD 4870 X2s together to imitate 2 NVIDIA GTX295s in Quad SLI?
  10. Actually, with the Blu Ray Reader/Writer I am planning to get, should I get a DVD Writer too? I heard that the reading times for a Blu Ray reader to get a Blu Ray movie going can be pretty glacial. Does that apply to the DVDs too? I've also been looking around for a BLuetooth adaptor too for the PC, but all I can find is a generic USB reciever type. Is there like a PCI card one that I can get? I'm also looking for a new router, wireless type, with Type N+. BUT, I need one with VOIP. All the ones I looked at so far have no VOIP. I need it badly cause I have no phone line anymore, cause it's Naked NSL. I'm also torn between the Logitech Z-5500 and the G-51. The controls on the Z are cool but the G51 has matrix mode, which is pretty awesome. ARgh!~
  11. Can't wait for this weeks ep. Dunno why Al had the most trouble with the Regnants beam cannons, he was the most manoevurable.
  12. It seems that Gundam 00 has me interested in anything BUT Setsuna. I find the other characters and their relationships much more interesting.
  13. I want to aim for that too. I mean, the last computer I had was a P4 2.0 GHz with 256 MB of RAM and a 64 MB Graphics card. I can at least play some of the good games of today, and they say that nothing will demand as much as Crysis for a long time. Brothers in Arms looks good, I can't wait to play it and finish supreme commander. Tried my 22" in my room, yup, I'll have no space if i go any bigger. That or I'll have to change my orientation. Cool yeah, I just told my friend about the build, and he is happy to put it together for me. His brother in law who is also my training partner will give me his version of Vista Ult, as he has an unlimited licence. Fast Eddies will get you a good burger, but we don't have any good franchises. They are dedicated burger joints, independent, and the only place where you can ask how you want your burger done, medium, or blue cause of the quality of the beef. Checked for ya, All good for me. I suppose it took longer than usual.
  14. that's alright, I appreciate the feedback, I wouldn't have asked for it otherwise. I was thinking in terms of the expenditure of the whole system, so that's why I thought $130 was alright. I could always add it later I guess. That's the beauty about a PC I suppose, you can always add, you're not always stuck with something. $130 in Australia is 1 new release game and possibly classic and two tanks of gas. So for the meantime, I guess I will hold off, and also get the 1 TB WD HDD. I'm more of a Logitech fanboy, so I guess I'll never hook it up to a Denon or Onkyo.
  15. HOLY SH&*! Was this weeks opening a joke or was it intentional to get better ratings? Cause I was horribly offended.
  16. I haven't had a PC in 7 years, I haven't got good games to play, and even back then it wasn't really up to the task. Supreme Commander causes my computer to become constipated after the second mission. At the moment I'm planning on doing some heavy gaming and also producing a DVD. We will be formally recording the whole syllabus of Tsutsumi Hozan Ryu Jujutsu and Yoseikan Aikido. It's going to be a big project. My friend is constantly frustrated cause he has a top quality studio camera, but not enough processing power to do it. We'll also be using Sony Vegas. I'll take your advice on the HDD. I think I will go for storage option. I saw a 1 TB Western Digital 7200 thats a third of the price. Thanks for the advice on the Sound Card, but at only $130 bucks, I don't think that it's going to matter a lot in the whole scheme of things. If I really wanted the other sound cards that were over $200 I might take your advice, but in a year, I want to get those G-51s and give the X-540s to my Dad, who's not that fussy. I want audio bliss when I make my music. I have an old 22" LCD AOC Monitor at home, I might just go with that too. I'll make sure to have the 64 bit edition so I can access over 4 GB of RAM like you mentioned. I'm glad I found a free way to get Windows Vista OS, I didn't want to pay again for it or even XP, as 7 is coming out this year and I've heard some really promising things about it. For sure I'll buy that though.
  17. Gaming (the good stuff, haven't played a decent one in years, never had the power or time), Work Processing, Internet Browsing, music production and also video rendering. Is there anything wrong? You think it won't be up to the task? I was thinking of adding another drive later for storage, but I didn't want to think about it when I first start of with a new computer. I'm pretty conservative, I had only a 80 GB drive lately and had to get a 500 GB external, which is only <100 GB full now. I think you might be right. I like to have a corner desk, and I'll have to bring the screen too far forward if I go larger.
  18. ThermalTech Armor MX+ with LCS ASUS P6T Deluxe Intel Core i7 965 6 GB Corsair DDR3 Triple Channel Memory Kit Velociraptor 300 GB 10000 RPM ASUS Radeon HD4870 X2 Creative X-Fi Extreme Gamer TPLINK W/LESS PCI ADAPTER DN TL-WN951N N LG Blu Ray Reader and Writer Multicard Reader 1000W Coolermaster PSU What do you think? I didn't want to end up with the driver issues with NVIDIA cards and the ASUS version of the HD4870 X2 has three fans and a beautiful design over the Sapphire. Also the P6T Deluxe seemed to work for me better, as apparently the Rampage II Extreme was having memory issues. Tempted to switch to a 1TB 7200 RPM Western Digital HDD though, and that is dirt cheap. I can't believe that Multicard Readers are only 10 bucks. All the ingredients I can get locally. I think I got enough power for my card. I know it's a powerhog. The Creative Sound Card will do my currently owned logitech X-530 5.1 Sound system. I'll keep my current Logitech DiNovo Edge Keyboard and consider getting a Logitech G13 for gaming soon. Also I'll keep my current mouse. The Logitech MX Revolution is the best, no mouse will ever beat it for me. I'll just have to look for a screen now. What do you guys think? If I have the 4870, would I get the best out of games if I choose a 26"+ Monitor? At least 5 ms? 2 ms? Any parts missing to form a complete computer? My friend is going to give me a copy of Vista ultimate to get me started. Anyone ever made their Home PC into a home theatre system? I was thinking of also getting the Thermaltake Media Lab installed in it, with a touch screen in future. How well did that work out if you had a similar setup? I rarely watch TV, I leave it to the parents, and I don't want to add another system into a room cause it will cause clutter. Thats why I wanted to add it in.
  19. I give a thumbs up for the SCOOP thread. Short and concise, and if I want more info, I go to the relevant thread. Saves time here on the forum and posts too.
  20. When is the Trust You Single coming out? I wanna see that little hottie in a music video. Must say Yuna is cute.
  21. That's alright if you disagree with me. Just looking for discussion, not to stir things up. VFTF1, the extension of the knees on the YF-19 you can get a sharper angle in GERWALK. I just love the low set GERWALK, makes it look meaner. Yeah and about the landing gear on the VF-0, it's not the best ever, but having fiddled around with this and other VFs, I just find it has good detail as well as strengthand ease of use. The Ghost, SV-51, and 1/48 were a pain in the arse to use.
