Well, I've been thinking about this more, and I'll have to agree with Snowy. Arson, wouldn't you think it'd be better to go w/ an x58 mobo with the LGA1366 processor interface so you can use Intel's newest processor? if I were you, I'd wait to go that route b/c you can actually save money in the long run, as the core i7 will be around for long time. I mean, you wouldn't need a new mobo or processor for maybe 2 years.

In the meantime, go ahead and buy that gtx 260 or 275 or 285 or whatever you want; you can hold off on the mobo and chipset until they're cheaper.

With the above setup, you should easily be able to score around 20,000 3dmarks. With your current setup, I'd say you're getting under 10k 3dmarks for sure (so less than half of the upgraded rig).

Haha, nice ones

Here's a picture of some dude that I shot who is in dire need of a chiropractor

Hey Azenus, you made it!

Welcome, glad to have ya

P.S. Arson, you really should have quoted Rip in your post, as it is quite confusing otherwise.

I had duck before...tasted like chicken. Anyways, good luck with those non-English speaking froggies. Have fun

I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we miss jazz Wednesdays.

Glad to hear from you in TS and see you playing again.

Nice map comrade, and btw its cl_hud 0

It's hard to exit that bunker, Ripley and DMC can attest to that.

And Mike, that's a custom map. It's a modded version of Mesa with an extra dark night.

Anyways, here's another screen shot. This is a boxing arena near the D4 bridge. That's either Tsopka or icomrade in the US suit.

PooBAR looked like a real boxer in the ring. I think he would have given Rocky a run for his money.

Well, we've all got tons of old screen shots that we will never do anything with...until now!

Post 'em here.

No, they don't have to actually be from this week.

Hey Daqs, I hope you'll be joining, as I just added you to the members list.

Take some pictures for us. Have fun

So you don't have problems using that mouse with your left hand at all?

Hey Sniper777. I also agree with Ripley about your disease being partially cured, which is good.

It's fine with me if you'd like to wear the OSF tag in front of your name. As of now, there is no official time scheduled for practice sessions, but please stay tuned.

As for the admin thing, we'll hold off on that for just a little while to make sure we can trust you.

Lookin' forward to talking with you and seeing you in !OSF MESA 24/7

Nice maps commie!

I'll upload those to our game server one of these days, I promise.

Yeah, how is it even comfortable to use that Logitech mouse with your left hand? Aren't all gaming mice designed to be used with your right hand?

Hey, put that shit in spam next time

Yep, the video card was the entire budget. Makes sense to me, as it was a Crysis machine.

There is an article (PC Gamer, I think) in which two guys competed to build a cheap PC. It was a close competition, but the guy who reached his $500 budget before buying a case was the winner. I wish I could find the picture for you guys, but imagine seeing an entire computer built inside of a cardboard box! And he won (probably b/c he didn't waste $ on fancy sheetmetal)!

This is two months old now, but proof that you can build a cheap Crysis machine:

Is it any better now?

I saw that second one on the Discovery Channel and thought it looked impractical and still in very early stages of development. The first one looks like a realistic application of this technology although I'm sure it will cost an astronomical amount of money if funded by the federal government. I would think that the only limiting factor these days would be battery technology still in infant stages.

The 3rd one just looks like a ridiculous idea; you might as well just turn it into a full-fledged robo-cop.

You should be able to get a 650 watt psu from a name-brand company for about the same price as the one you were looking at, as those things are always on sale. When I replaced my latest psu, I just read the back of my video card box for psu recommendations / requirements. I think my 9800GT recommended 650 W, so I bet that card you are looking at requires at least that amount.
