    Far Cry 2 Endings (definite spoilers)

    I just beat this game, and the endings are both lame agreed. The driving with over 1/2 the screen full of jeep just makes it suck to drive. The Map is painfull to look at. There is no compass, what were they thinking. The cursor on the map is OFF by like 3 jeep lengths to the left and...

    FS: Westinghouse 37 LVM-37W3SE LCD

    I own this exact monitor and i LOVE IT! Make sure you have a very deep desk or you will go blind sitting so close to such a huge monitor. It doubles as my HDTV of course, and everyone who comes over is blown away by its crisp HD image. Bump for best monitor ever made. Actually its only...

    Best Gaming Mouse?

    mx518 vs. Deathadder, Deathadder wins hands down. I own both, and still use the 518 for work. If you own a 518 and havent tried a deathadder, then you don't know do you? The Razor Lycosa keyboard sucks. I returned it. I bought the Saitek Eclipse II instead, and it has performed well so far.

    Best Gaming Mouse?

    Deathadder arrived, it is by far superior to the mx518. It has built in memory so I can set it up with the software, then I could take the mouse to another computer and it will keep all its settings! No having to run software to control it. It feels and handles like a cloud of butter, I...

    Best Gaming Mouse?

    The mx518 feels great, has great reaction time etc.. but I hate Logitech's setpoint software, there is not a single sensitivity setting that I liked, I must be accustomed to windows built in sensitivity switch. And the ability to change the mouse sensitivity on the fly makes sense in theory...

    Best Gaming Mouse?

    The Razor Lachesis has some bad reviews because of its hand held comfort. For this reason, I will be going with the Razor Deathadder. For a keyboard, I chose the Razer Lycosa because it is high end yet simple. Of course all of this is heavy in the oppinion game, and I am someone who likes...

    Best Gaming Mouse?

    I am looking for the absolute best gaming mouse, preferable wired. I am thinking about the Razor Lachesis. I already own the Logitech mx518 and I do not like it. I donot like the sensitivity button located where it is accidentally switched, plus it reverts to low everytime you restart the...

    Realtek ALC883 good onboard sound?

    The type of onboard sound obviously matters a great deal. AC 97, which is super popular we can all agree has its limitations. AC880 however, is on the level of a dedicated sound card that is a few years old.

    Realtek ALC883 good onboard sound?

    First, thank you for the good posts! Ok so now I have been useing it for 3 days. I watch movies, play music, and most importantly play video games. Here is what I have noticed so far. - As far as is the onboard sound good, the answer is absolutely yes. - when connected via optical...

    5.1 not working in XP (soundmax)

    I have onboard sound, and I had to download the latest driver from the manufactorer (gigabyte), and it came with a soundmgr utility. Using this utility, I could set it to 6 ch audio and test it. Check your motherboard manual, it should go over how to setup 5.1 sound.

    Optical In?

    I just bought Logitech z-5450 speakers for $211 shipped off of ebay. They have 2 optical in ports, and not to mention way better sound than the speakers you are looking at. These retail for $500 and are not manufactured anymore, but do a quick ebay search and you will find some in that 200$...

    Realtek ALC883 good onboard sound?

    I recently acquired a Logitech z-5450 wireless 5.1 sound system, and I have a Realtek ALC883 onboard sound card. Should I upgrade my sound card? Does it really make much of a difference? I am not an audio-file. Thanks!

    What are the best 5.1 wireless speakers? After much research, I really want a pair of Logitech z-5450 speakers. The problem is I cannot find a pair of z-5450 speakers to buy new. Are there 2.1 speakers that sound like 5.1 really well? If there are I would be interested in that...

    horrific TV quality through tv wonder 550/power cinema

    Goto radio shack and get a Coxial Cable video amplifier. If you have access to where the cabling is(in basement hanging from ceiling or wall most of the time) plug that amplifier in right before the cable running to your room. I had this exact problem and that fixed it. FYI -Toad

    whats a cheap place to buy computer desk/table online?

    I enjoy the "Jerker" desk series from IKEA. You can order it via phone, get the black one. 100$ i beleive. Its the deepest desk they make, and has upper mount for Base box, and all kinds of accessories.

    How much could I sell my computer for?

    800 - 30% = $560 List for 600$ I would say. I have found that selling the entire computer is a pain, most people on these forums want parts not whole machines.

    Best MB for C2D E6600 and 8800GTS/X

    GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128012 This is the most overclockable 775 chipset to date. Even if you donot want to overclock, that means this board has the best transistors. I have built 2 machines with this mobo and was very pleased.

    Troubleshooting help, quick!

    Sounds like your XP cd is corrupt. Test it on another machine. If the XP cd is fine, try downloading and burning a "knoppix CD" and booting off of it. It is a stand alone OS that loads entirely off the CD. From there you can run memtest, which is built in to it...

    Insane Graphic Artifacts in S.T.A.L.K.E.R...any ideas?

    A 9600 will not overload the PSU. This is clearly the video card and or driver for it and compatibility with this game. Did you try disabling all the games features. HD rendering and the special light rendering one was the problem with the 7800 GT's.

    System problems...no video...stumped...

    The last Thermaltake 420w power supply I had was the one that didn't have enough 5v rail to power a 6800 GT consistently. As time goes on, the new video cards draw more and more power, and the shear wattage of the PSU doesnt really mean much. Look for 18-20 amp 5v rails. The thermaltake was...

    Insane Graphic Artifacts in S.T.A.L.K.E.R...any ideas?

    Agreed with Jinx. I am surprised your 9600 runs this game! Oh man, people were complaining that a 7800 gt was'nt enough to run this game. I am guessing this game has compatibility issues with your video card, this game was intended to run on something Mid range or better by todays standards...

    System problems...no video...stumped...

    I had exact same problem. It was the power supply. Not enough 5v rail Amps to power that video card. It might work for awhile but then crap out at random times, normally playing a game. While that solved my 6800 GT problems, 3 months of trouble free service later the video card...

    Choosing an 8800GTS (brand selection)

    It all boils down to the warranty. BFG's warranty is better, evga is just as long in theory, but if you donot register within 30 days you only get 1 year warranty. XFX is the best because it is life long, and transferable, by far the best warranty of all manufacturers. For some reason you...
