I feel like in the world of FPS games that the MP and SP experiences are becoming very different. To create a title that gives you both like Call of Duty is amazing. But making the progression path of a MP game this "kill 1000 guys with the sniper rifle to unlock the next thing" as the only...

Looks amazing. I really hope the building destruction shows up in more games.

I know this isn't what you want, but you can always run it windowed. I'm playing windowed with d2multires which allows me to run the game at any resolution I want with limited issues (some weird lighting with what is normally off-screen in certain dungeons). 1080p Diablo II is pretty awesome...

A little confused about wattage. Since these are powered/active speakers, this actually DOES matter, right? So for example, if the Samson Resolv 65a has a "dual power amp (75 watts low and 25 watts high)", can it be said it has 100 watts (per speaker, if I read that correctly)? For...

Wow, thanks for the explanation, I'm definitely on the right track now! Found a bunch of active monitor pairs for around $100 here: http://www.zzounds.com/prodsearch?q=&cat=2863&cat2=&ob=p19&rl=&rh=&button=search%2Ffilter&form=search Anyone have any experience with these? I'd prefer to...

Budget is flexible, ideally a few hundred dollars ($300 or so), since PC 2.1 speakers run less than $100. With the amp+bookshelf/HT speakers route, is there a space-saving solution? I have a spare full-size stereo amp that would do the trick, but I don't really want to add it to my PC setup...

I am STILL using my Altec Lansing ACS495 speakers. They sound awesome still, but it's time to get something new. I'm having some issues with the sub and need to find a more aesthetically pleasing replacement, otherwise I would try and find a used ACS495. Does anyone have any direct...

Here are the specs for the lazy, also curious about these: * Dell G2210 and G2410 Widescreen LED Flat Panels Consume Less Than Half the Power of Comparable Monitors * Typical Dynamic Contrast Ratio of Up to 1,000,000:1 * Designs Incorporate Environmentally Preferable Materials Dell...

Hey BenQ and [H]Forum! I am extremely interested in test driving the E2400HD! I am a very recent addition to the community, but I hope that you might still consider me. In my professional life, I am responsible for hardware purchasing for my business group. I work at a large software...

So I transplanted into the CM690. Loving it so far, only took me around an hour to assemble and another to route cables. I'm running at 40C-45C CPU and 40-42C Mobo, and GPU is ~46C. I kept the stock fan setup for now: one intake in front, one exhaust in the top back and one near the GPU...

Thinking about getting a Cooler Master RC690 which is $75 at my local shop. How does that compare to0 the Lian Li PC-K7B or the Antec Nine Hundred when it comes to cooling? I'm not really a fan of the Antec's hard drive cage. Looks like the RC690 has plenty of fan options and is big enough to...

Apologies for the shitty iPhone pic:

On the way.

So I just installed a 9800GTX+ AND a AMD 6000+ yesterday. Now I'm pulling 50C CPU and 46C Mobo temps from Asus Probe when idle. From what I can tell, that's pretty bad. I noticed things were running hot when I remoted in from work today so I grabbed some CoolerMaster SAF-B83 fans on the...

Just a heads up: This is $209 at OfficeMax right now. http://www.officemax.com/omax/catalog/sku.jsp?skuId=21622004&searchString=soyo&category_Id=null
