I must say, the demo was highly unimpressive. It seemed like it would be a lot better of an idea, but it just seemed gimmicky once I got started. Controls are upsetting, to say the least. It really does have a "console" feel to it. Especially with the number of keys. I mean, WASD for...

So, I just got my shiny new heatsink in, and I had a bit of a problem. I went to mount it, and the PWM stuff in the top-left of the board seems to be blocking one of the retention brackets on the heatsink from locking in. I know it's a big no-no to run it with one unattached, but I'm wondering...

+1 donation, and many more once I find a new job and have cashflow. Congrats on the sacrifice, Kyle, and if your box ends up in my home, expect much folding and many fun hours of gaming.

The first thing I though of when I saw this controller were Space Combat Simulators. The controller has pitch and yaw built in. Full 360-degree movement. Imagine how much more fun any space combat game would be with that? No more need for a joystick/footpedal combo to *really* effectively...

That would be Emperor: Battle for Dune. Now, my list of crappy games: Emperor: Battle for Dune (It just asked for it =/) Mortal Kombat: Sub-Zero Mythologies Bible Adventures (NES game, came free with the console) Myst II: Riven Superman 64 (Kryptonite fog. Worst idea ever) Perfect Dark...

Aye, I tried everything except the BIOS battery and PCI vid card. I don't have any PCI cards, and the board is brand-new. It's a DFI Lanparty UT NF3 for socket 754, and I doubt the bios battery is bad, since that board's had a whole 24 hours of downtime since I got it. It'll also boot to...

My "Tower of Power" Athlon64 died today, I believe. I dragged it over to a friend's house for a bit of LANfun, and when I got home, I get nothing on the monitor. Plugged in a diff. GFX, nothing. Swapped IDE cables on the HD, nothing. Reset CMOS, nothing. Drives spin up, proc fan loads, but...

The current highest AMD clock is somewhere around 4.4 GHz. the AMD architecture was never designed to clock that high, and there's no hope for it to ever hit 7.1 GHz, but that clock speed is where Netburst was designed to scale up to. It really doesn't get it's kicks in until 4 GHz or so...

5 processors as of now, one of them just chugs a bit slow.

Welcome to the [H]orde all! And gets ta borging! =]

Good point, and I'm probably going to be getting the radiator off a Penske truck at some point. One of the big giant ones, too. All I need to do is find a nice pump with enough head and I'll be watercooling my tower and my laptop.

Seriously. AC and boxen do NOT mix... I'd seriously almost reccomend what I'm considering doing, and getting a little mini-fridge from a yard sale, and running a massive water reservoir through it. Strangely enough, the AC costs far far more to run than the AC, and for a cheap fridge that...

WHOO! Another return from the unholy lands of non-[H]-dom!

Since when is 1680*1050 NOT massive?? Or maybe I'm just stuck in the small-CRT land of 1024*768 >.< *edit for proper res
