Someone gave me a "broken" yet brand new gtx 260. Turns out, the only thing broken is the fan itself, not even the heatsink is harmed. Rather than spend more than i'm willing for an after market solution, I want to jury rig it. I intend to simply remove the casing around the cooler, and...

So I've been a member of this forum for a decent amount of time and I have come to respect the members here for their level of expertise (some of the members anyways ;) ). Still; it seems that there is quite a deal of favoritism toward either ATI or Nvidia. I thought it would be kind of...

I just got done finishing Kotor for the first time (*gasp* I know I should have gotten to it earlier) and I am highly interested in trying The Sith Lords. Bioware developed the first one (probably my favorite developer) and Obsidian was tasked with The Sith Lords. I feel that Obsidian is decent...
