  1. Best ergo mouse I've ever used was the Logitech mx1000...However, traded up b/c I really wanted adjustable dpi. My current wireless has that, but it doesn't fit my hand as well...plus it feels really light. I like a nice heavy mouse on a really smooth surface. This new Razer is nutso. I don't know how you would ever be able to selectively hit those buttons by the thumb...geez.
  2. This mobo has seen about 2 years of medium service. Asus A8V-Deluxe. Socket 939 (athlon, athlon x2, Opteron) Has 1 VGA slot (ouch!) and 4 pci. 4 DDR ram, gigabit ethernet, plenty of USB, 4 SATA (with two onboard RAID controllers), etc... I also have a socket 939 athlon 64 3800, I believe it is Venice core clocked at 2.4ghz. Good chip; it too has seen about 2 years of medium service. I played Halo, Quake 4, FEAR, HL2, Doom3, etc... on these very well. I don't know what the best AGP graphics card that is still available, but You could probably put together an OK everyday gamer for under 200 if you already have a case and PSU. make an offer in PM if you are interested.
  3. http://www.destructoid.com/left-4-dead-crash-course-announced-as-new-campaign-142454.phtml I'll keep playing and stop whining like the rest of the L4D haters
  4. Tru dat... I've run ONLY WD for about 7 years and have never had one fail...that is outta 8 HDD...
  5. What type of monitor do you have?...and What outputs does a ps3 have?...DVI, HDMI, VGA, Composite?... I can hook up 1 DVI, 1 Composite, 1 VGA, and one S-vid to my monitor and then change inputs...have you tried that? If the ps3 does have any of those outputs, and you have a halfway decent LCD then you should be able...
  6. Yeah, i've seen it, the Giant Eagle near Fatty's house had some out there, but I haven't tried it yet, have you? I was drinking quite a bit of Guiness, but my belly has paid the price....I needed to switch to a light beer...once I shed a few pounds, i'll allow myself some more Guiness....in moderation of course Actually, I believe Guinness is around 4.5% alc. and only 196 cal/16oz...so that is not much different from a 144 cal/12oz Budweiser...
  7. I found it at Hy-Vee (a midwest IL/IA/MS store) Bought one bottle, chilled and had...Nothing super special...slightly more bitey than our normal revered Guinness.
  8. I was mouse clicking the webcam with my left elbow, thus the awkward pose. This is the only immediate image I have of my Benelli SuperNova tactical...Love this shotgun.

  10. We wish you a happy birthday and thanks for all the joke material!

  12. lulz... same here...I never remember turbo off...I was playing Might and Magic 2 and 3 back then!
  13. You've simply acquired some of the the hitscan abilities of a good UT player, that's all. PPL used to accuse some of us boys for hacking all the time. I remember playing against GC guys years ago in UT2004 and being amazed that they could bail out of a raptor (basically a plane for you non-UT guys) and hit me with three weapons on the way down... mad skills. So congrats to you JC!
  14. Valve needs to GTFO of the L4D dev. lab and GTFI to the Half Life 2 lab and finish this with something epic. Oh, and Jackie, as you play more L4D than any other human, elaborate on how "broke" L4D is?...
  15. I play every once in a while, but the griefers and whiners kill it for me. Warnuts servers are pretty good...
  16. oh god no I wish I had that much free time. OH, and uhhh....JC hax.
  17. Ok...not gonna bother with the myriad cards before 1999 or so, but just saying it goes back to about 1981 with the MDA by IBM, but that was before one really had a choice... FFWD through lots of computers and built-in graphics...then... I will begin when gaming really started to mean something to me and when I had some real choices: ATI Rage 128 pro 32 mb (kept this one for about 4 years) and I played a lot of the orig UT with this... Sapphire ATI 9800pro 128 mb BFG GF 6800 GT 256 mb eVGA GF 7900 GT ko 256 mb eVGA GF 8800 GT ko 512 mb MSI GF GTX 260 core 216 896 mb
  18. If you are set on multiple drives, I would buy an internal HDD...not external, as speed of transfer (especially lots of music in small files) will take a while. If you are going to add a single internal hard drive, then just install, and you will have to format and then R-click my computer, manage, storage, local disk...bring the drive up and you are good to go. If I were going with a single drive system...(and use your old drive as backup for key stuff...) I would get a Seagate Barracuda 1 TB edition. IT has good capacity and is really, really fast. Question: Do you plan to reinstall windows or are you going to ghost your operating system and files onto the new one? I always go clean install... But, if that isn't the case, you will have to install your new drive, then format it. Then, I would use a utility to image your old drive onto new. If you do clean install, then no prob. Just unplug old hard drive. Insert windows DVD. Reboot...
  19. JOin the steam GC community, you can find us all there. You can find me as "Tekmet"
  20. AFIK, the Seagate Barracuda 1 TB is the fastest for its size...There have been multiple issues with the 1.5 TB BArracuda's firmware and performance. If you are using as main drive, then I would concentrate on capacity and speed. This is coming from a lifelong WD fan. I've owned 9 WD drives, all of which are still in service. The 2 TB green from WD is a good drive, but it costs a crap load of $$$ and it is slow. I would go 1 TB Seagate, or a 300GB velociraptor for OS drive and a 640 gb WD, or a couple of 500 gb in raid 0.
  21. I can set aside some time, depends on the day, though...so sorta count me in.
  22. The other thing you can do is enable multicore and then try the following console command: mat_queue mode 0 that worked for me...same problem.
  23. Post up your names...I'll find you to play. Friend me under name: Tekmet
