After having played both for a few hours I can say thatfor me Fear is the better. But if you liked Doom 3 and quake 2 then you are going to like quake 4.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Rather than protecting our kids from video games we should spend more money in protecting ourselves from parents that should use condoms

Rather than protecting our kids from video games we should spend more money in protecting ourselves from parents that don't use condoms

Why should we pay them more. Yes I said "we"and not the game companies, becuase you know if the voice actors win the strike then the game companies are just going to stick it to us poor guys that just want to play the game. On a side note to the game companies I can read, so use subtitles...

Sooo very tempting hehe I remember paying that much for a 120 MEG drive years ago :(

I would say if you want to get the dual 80mm then go for it. Besides it is your money and your case. But remember you asked for the their input. My only suggestion is toss the CD-RW\DVD-ROM optical go for a DVD±RW you can get a decent one now days for under a $100 US hell most the time you...

heh nope not super secrets here. I would suggest is they optical is not working try using analog. then again Ihave to ask on the third page of the wizard is wizard pumping out white noise to all the speakers or only the front two??? Which nforce chipset are you using?? I have a friend I can...

I have to agree with the others get the 120mm why build for the now build for the later and it will pay off better. besides if you are worried about flow rates the two 80mm rads will restrict flow more then just one 120mm. Just my .02 peso

sorry about the delay. Okay what you need to do is use the NvMixer tool. go to the third tab the speaker configuration tool and run the speaker wizard. Scarry thing is I do not have a system with an nforce chipset yet I know way too much about it. Hope that helps you out

I have to agree with MrE the Nforce boards are just not cutting the custard so the VIA looks to be the best option for you and that Gigabyte board looks good.

WEll when I was having MoBo troubles Bigshot recomended the Asus P4P800-VM and I remember you MrE recomending the Abit IS-10 MoBo. I am liking the Asus board alot only complaint I can really say I have with it is a lack of 1394 head on the board. Hope my .0000002 pesso input help out some.

yea that would help too. Then again I do not turn off my monitors. Actually when you are running your PVR there dirtboy do you have the timeshift enabled or are you doing just straight recording?? IF you do turn that crappy feature off its rather useless.

well My PVR system only has WC on the proc and I do use a Hauppague card for all my recording. I thikn under load it gets a little warm but nothing like you are talkign about. I have not had any issues with the heat pushing me out of the room and I do not have the luxury of AC like you have :(...

hell no I totally agree with you on the ram issue Hitech the XMS is some of the best Sticks out there. I just disagree with calling all kit users noobs. I ended up using a kit because I have other resposablities that require my time and resources. SO if it makes me noob then so be it. then...

Off topic for a sec sorry about this Hitech just because soneone wants to use a preconfigured kit and not sit down and take more time to research and ask and ask and read and ask and research and read just to find the best blocs, res, tubing and rads out there does not make them a noob. It...

Heh you are not the only one in line there CrimandEivl. If I did not have to do so much Computer testing during the day :( I would be more then happy to help out.

Hope the pointer I sent you helps out. If you have any other questions on the audio please just ask. I am fairly familiar with the Nforce chipset.

Its just the Hdd access light. no need to put your own led in there it should have one in there already hehe there goes BigSHot showing off his aria again :D

well right now I have a similar setup just not in Linux. I have the always on PVR type system you do and a gaming machine. funny thing even with encoding and recording at teh same time my PVR system stays cooler thanks teo WC and a large case then my new SFF system. BTW both my systems are...

If you are looking for a 6800 waterblock there is this one from aquacomputer over at SNT-Systems

Well until Via, NVidia, or SIS get around to it the only SFF system that has PCI-E is this P4 system from shuttle :(

I love the look of their water blocks and res. But damn I just cannot see plunking down that wampum for it. I guess I need to start saving for it and see if I can figure out how the hell to fit it all into an Aria case that would rule

would have gone for #4 as well just too much green and not enought red. Maybe needed more blood or something... don't know. Everytime I hear the Work play and stay [H]ard slogan I always think pr0n not [H]|OCP but thats my 0.0000001 pesos

I missed getting the refurb board there MrE but I did get a spankin new one of the same model for new egg. iT should be on its way very soon :) hopefully it should be out the door today Tthank you for your help I really appreciate it Royal

well I went to Fry's and they had a horrible selection of P4 baords that would fit in that case so it looks like I am going to do the mail order thing. Not going to give my money to fry's today :)

Well I figured out why my system was over heating. The board that my friend was nice enough to get me, well it was the problem. In their infinate stoopidity to make their systems run cooler $ony decided to make the fans run slower. With that Genius idea in mind they decided that they would...

damn well in that case F8CK this $ony board I'll get the Asus one. that way I at least know I will be able to get the updates and any drivers I may need down the road. Again Thanks MrE :)

Nope no need for an intel chipset but the SATA would be nice to keep with the system. But if I have to give the drive up to my other system to get rid of this craptastic $ony board then so be it. Besides I usually prefer the Asus boards. I personally have never had a bad one yet. thanks...

okay I just got myself one of the new aria cases and finally got everything put together here is what I have P4 2.8c with standard HSF :( MoBo unknown from $ony RS320 has P4SD-VX silked on it 1 gig (generic as hell) ram WD 80 gig PATA drive Seagate 120 gig SATA drive Nvidia FX 5600 cinema...

Just picked up an aria case Saturday. I have to say I like the case. and yes mgars its nice and quiet. I sit right next to it and the only way I know its on is by the lighting and my monitor. Only problem I have right now is trying to track down an issue with my system locking up. Not sure...

Okay you have all given me enough influence to look into getting my own projector setup now I have narrowed it down to one of two units either the Sanyo PLV-Z2 or the SONY VPL-HS20 Any insite there Plink :confused: Royal

Looks nice, way to go Bigshot How far does the fan on the radiator stick out?? I ask because I am thinking about the same case and want to know if the rad and fan iwll bock me from slapping in a HDD on that side of the case. Royal

okay so I am not relagated to one of those uber small MoBos with only one agp and one pci. That helps alot thanks :) as for the one GigE and the SATA I could careless all it needs is the space for all my parts if I remember right I got an older waterchill setup. SO I'll most likely be putting...

Been following this thread and I have to say I am liking the box but I have to ask two questions 1) How cramped would it be I fi slapped my 3 HDD and a DVDRW along with a water cooling system in there ( would it all fit) ?? 2) Can anyone recommend a board that will fit in the box and take a...
