    Looking to build a gaming PC for about $1000 CDN

    but that's the whole point. it will fit. no matter what. it'll just look a bit strange :) compatibility issues of this magnitude are a thing of the past. doing a quick google-fu returned zero relevant results for "intel b75" and "overheating". i mean, i can relate. when my last mobo crapped...

    Looking to build a gaming PC for about $1000 CDN

    with the mobo and case combo he picked, he should not have any problems. CM lists the elite 370 specifically with µATX compatibility. i'd be really surprised if any brandname case today had any issues with µATX. so what if it's small inside the case? makes no difference. hell, even my big-ass...

    Looking to build a gaming PC for about $1000 CDN

    this times a thousand. even my 8 year old x-fi wipes the floor with any onboard-solution currently out there. dedicated DACs and DSPs on add-in cards are just so much better. i'd never go without. the difference in SNR alone should tip anyone off. this WILL be noticeable in daily usage...

    Men's Rights Activism

    they lack upper-body strength as well as the power and endurance to carry the same equipment as men over long distances. something along the lines of 40 to 50 kg over 60 kilometers after a week of almost no caloric intake and intense hand-to-hand training. another thing: during basic i liked...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    apparently there is a new universal soldier movie. was kinda hyped when i saw that it starred JCVD, dolph, andrei arlovski and scott adkins. was de-hyped when i realized that the unisols have seemed to have turned into a spartan, stalinist cult with JCVD as their supreme leader. then, seeing...

    Men's Rights Activism

    i am a bit late to the party and i cringed at some of this thread, but i cannot let this stand. the difference is huge. no discussion. you cannot argue or dream or philosophize (is that a word?) it away. background: i have spent the better part of 7 years in the german army working with...

    Game journalism is a disgrace

    what the fuck is going on in this thread?

    NATO and Soviet Ammunition

    fyi: there's no such thing as a "7.62x39mmR" or "5.45x39mmR". you are thinking of 7.62x54R, i.e. the cartridge that the dragunov or the m91/30 (or the SVT40, PK, etc) use. the "R" stands for rimmed or rimfire, not russian.

    GameSpot Fallout Marathon

    haha, they are showing a low INT char. everyone take notes! :D edit: haha, i forgot how utterly hilarious the dialogue with torr was: "they seem to be nocturnal in their feeding habits!". genius.

    Deus Ex

    if you haven't played the first game yet then you are missing out big time. it starts a bit slow but once the story gets going you'll be sucked in like a helpless pathetic cricket into a trapdoor spiders' hole :). seriously, this is one of the best games ever made. also, you can get it through...

    Deus Ex

    same here. had my doubts after the colossal fuck-up that was IW, but after reading up on some comments (by trusted sources) about the leak i just placed my pre-order for the augmented edition. besides, can't argue wih 39€.

    Deus Ex

    so apparently a playable prebuilt version of deus ex 3 has been leaked, featuring about one third or so of the final product. from what i have read from people who played it i gather that the game might actually be good and true to the original. that keeps my hopes up!

    Level 50 Monsters, Equipment and Perks

    true, but at lvl5 that thing will kill you in one swing. at 35 it takes 2 to 3 :D

    Level 50 Monsters, Equipment and Perks

    well i don't know what they are going to come up with, since i just hit 35 and the legendary deathclaw dropped after 3 rounds to the face with the AMR.

    [New York Times, 8 minutes ago] WAR!

    because china and the u.s. are not exactly friends. and a unified korea will most certainly retain its' ties to the u.s. edit: same reason russia didn't want parts of that ABM-system stationed in poland.

    [New York Times, 8 minutes ago] WAR!

    you might want to reconsider that analogy. present-day DPRK can in no way be compared to mid-seventies USSR. this is beyond preposterous. and basing anything on anything the DPRK says is just BS. they're a stalinist regime. nothing they proclaim through official channels can be trusted...

    Mystifying PC problem

    this. a broken graphics card will usually give you artifacts, screen tearing, strange colors and faulty textures, especially in games. check the monitor, especially the cable and connector. i had 14" crt once where the vga connector was worn to the point that it would lose the "red"...

    Another "help a n00b build his pc" thread.

    ok, i'm running the same resolution. an i5 750/760 with a gtx 275/285 or a radeon 5850 will have enough power for the next two or three years.

    Bluescreen: "IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS" (winXP)

    this usually happens when a device tries to access a certain part of system memory that a) it has no permission to or b) is just incorrect if you are a bit skilled, write down the memory ranges from the bsod (0xZZZZZZZ etc) and crosscheck them with the devices in device manager. then you will...
