  1. I didn't see what Windows OS you're going to have on there, but if you're getting Vista make sure to get 2 Gig's of RAM. Ram is dirt cheap right now so that shouldn't raise the price much at all.

     

    For the record I have a e1505 Inspiron with Vista Home Premium, bout a year and 1 month old and working great.

  2. Before you ask, yes I know internal would be better quality, unfortunately my laptop is better setup for this and I do not want to put video capture in this desktop that I currently use. Maybe after I build a new comp then I would...

     

     

    Has anyone used any external capture cards with a laptop or desktop that has decent quality and worked well? I do not have HD TV so that isn't necessarily a requirement but would be nice. I've debated getting one of these there seems to be more out there now.

  3. Thanks snowblind. They actually just released a final version of cs_office2008 as cs_office2008Pro that I was looking at for tonight's mapnight. I think we'll give it a go.

     

    For de_aztec_extended, we've actually played that map before about a year ago or so.

  4. I'm curious, have you guys ever used 2001 Car polish or Armor All car polish for exteriors? I've used them for several years with good results, wondering how they compare to the other products you guys mentioned

  5. Was in Best Buy yesterday (Sunday the 24th) and noticed they had this keyboard on Sale for $39.99. This was cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else, including Newegg.com right now.

     

    I bought 2 of these, (one for parents PC), and so far definitely liking it. The stand is a little wierd looking but really not hard at all to get used to. It really does make it more comfortable since it keeps your wrists straight instead of bent up. Also helps if your desk has a lip or raised edge on it like mine.

     

    So far definitely recommending it. One note, you do have to install the SW before hooking it up, at least accodring to the instructions. I didn't try it without. Based on past experience some of the extra buttons probably won't work if you don't.

  6. I've been thinking about replacing my old natural multimedia with something new, considering I've had it for oh 6 or 7 years...

     

    I've been debating getting one of the new ones Microsoft has. Have you used it for CSS or any other FPS? One of the reasons I've held off making my decision is I don't wanna get something that will be problematic (such as some wireless models).

  7. The components have all arrived and I've got the system built. Setting up the OS and software now:

     

    For those interested here's the final specs:

    GA-P35-DS3L

    Core 2 Duo E6750

    2 GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 8500

    BFG 8500gt 256 GB PCIe

    Seagate Barracuda 250GB SATA 3.0

    LiteOn 20X DVD burner Sata

    Rosewill Card Reader

    Thermaltake 430 Watt Power Supply

    Raidmax Smilodon ATX-612WBP

    XP Pro SP2c

     

     

    I was a little disappointed with the case, documentation didn't really cover much (and in some cases things didn't quite match, such as the colors for certain wires). However, things were easy to setup and get put together so we will see how it goes.
