Thermaltake 400 something watt and a radeon 4550 old card was a geforce 6 something pci-x I'll try a new psu tomorrow.

No idea, but a pretty damn cool idea!

Get it powder coated. Paint is applied with a static charge so it's attracted to the metal like dust to a tv, then baked on to make it tough as nails. You can powder coat yourself with an electric oven and a decent powder coating system from Harbor Freight.com If you paint it with the cans...

I swear I've seen these with schrader valves on them to refill with plain old air. But seriously, just get a small air tank, like 5 gallons and it'll last a while on one fill up and I've seen them as cheap as $30 and with upkeep maybe $.50 a refill at the gas station or free if you have a...

Use a vga to s-video/rca dongle then a gender changer on the vga. Use a capture card like a tv tuner.

I've got the same problem. Crysis allbeit the only game i've played to an extent so far on windows 7 crashes non stop, when it does manage to work it has a lot of hiccups can't play it unless i turn down the graphics and blast the gpu fan to 100%. Never had to do that in windows xp. I just did a...
