Help! Troubleshoot System Build

So I got this motherboard and a BFG 550Watt PS, i made the same mistake everyone made, i didn't plug in all the connectors, as already stated the MB manual is very vague. My BFG apparently only supports the 4pin connecter, i have two but the other 4 pin bundled on the same cord doesn't fit. Is...

CM 690 vs CM 590 vs Antec 900

For anyone else searching for what case to get, I liked this review of the CM 690 on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yhxw1DcAQo after reading all the posts, I think I'm leaning heavily toward the CM 690. I like the layout, especially the hard drive bays. I'm a little skeptical of its...

Did anyone play old Sierra or LucasArts games?

I played several of the old point and click games Kings Quest 5 and 6 which I can only vaguely remember. I remember liking them alot but I can only recall some elements of the plot. Robin Hood Quest for the Longbow another great game, especially if you like Robin Hood. Quest for Glory...

Anyone in the Warhammer Online Beta?

i was intrigued by WAR for awhile, but the more beta info that surfaces the more it seems like it will be a disappointment. MMO genre needs a new format. The kill mobs for xp to level to get to max level for raiding or PVP just isn't cutting it.

Xbox 360 holiday bundles

I got mine last night, it was manufactured 8-8-07. I doubt it's a falcon, but the DVD drive is quiet, at least quieter than the power brick fan. I didn't really care if I got a falcon to begin with as the revision to the old boards seems to have fixed all the ROD issues anyway. all in all ...

Xbox 360 holiday bundles

yep Buy.com has some now, but they charge tax, at least for those of us in texas. amazon and newegg don't, so right now for my money it's a race to see who gets them first amazon or newegg

Xbox 360 holiday bundles

i'm not too interested in a Falcon, yeah the cpu is superior obviously, but 360s with the new heatsink and quieter dvd have been out now since Spring. I'm more interested in getting the holiday bundle. unfortunately, elite bundles seem to be taking awhile to make it to stores.

How come I can't collapse ceilings or blow half a guy's head off yet?

I think destructible envionrments are a combination of technological and design. From a design standpoint, allowing the player to destroy an entire map is self defeating in your average FPS. In a sandbox enviornment it might be fun in the short term, but FPS aren't just about realism, it is...

Xbox 360 holiday bundles

i'm waiting on Newegg to get the Elite Bundles in, because I can get it tax free with minimal shipping costs. Buy.com has the elite but they charge my state tax (bastards) newegg has the pro bundles, but are slacking on the elites.

Video game prices

console games are more because of all the extra money developers pay in licensing. I usually buy my console games used. Lately all i've been playing is WoW so I don't buy many games. 16 bucks a month i get all the computer gaming I want.

are you disappointed with the MJ verdict?

I think it was impossible to tell from the evidence. It basically came down to he said she said, and when one of the parties has a bad reputation and history of lying, there is just no way to know. I think the sad thing is is that the accuser and his mother could be trying to extort money...
