Yeah, it was a good first build. Booted up first time. There were some things that were just a hassel, other things where kind of nerve racking, (Sam putting the heatsink on his face, while I read "DO NOT TOUCH THE COOLING STRIP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE HEATSINK.").But in the end all was ok, and I have to say that is one fast PC. When he was running BF: V with all settings on their highest, with 64 computers at their full skill thing...he had no slow down. Not to mention his CPU probably only when up by 5-8 degrees. It was amazing. :DIt is officially a BEAST!

lol, nice picture

Youe classes sound awsome Skywalker.

Wanna save some money on the awsome guide that CreepingDeath made?Ask your self...-when was the last time you used a floppy drive?-why do you need that much HD space (unless you are a music freak/making a server system)-do you really need the ultimate sound card right away (onboard will be just fine with a good set of 2.1 speakers)-are you trying to save desk space...then why get a LCD?-you case really only has to hold it together and keep out dust. a card board box will do that (but that could catch fire)-If you like editing movies and making DVD's then get a G5, don't worry about the DVD burnerAgain nice guide, but some people need to really ask them self why they are getting what they are going to do with there computer. (Sorry if you feel offened by this, but I just hate looking at guides, I always think there should be more choices. That is why I cate Dell. Your choices for processor. Celeron 2.4, Celeron 2.66, Pentium4 2.8, Pentium4 3.0, Pentium4 3.2, Pentium4 3.4 EE. I like pentium, but that is a horriable selection (Celeon 2.4 is the chepeset you can go) and then don't have any partnership with AMD. P.S. RAID is stupid. besides back up it is useless. People who have it think they are cool or something.

Well, as a senior, and maybe a junior, I could get early outs. Which would rock!

Well, my school system is a little odd. Elementary K-5Middle 6-8High 9-12But our 6-7 are in one building, and our 8-9 are in the other, but we still consider 9 high school because there is only one other county in Virginia that is like this. So I start High school the acctual high school this year 10th.Start 7:40am0 - Driver's ED1 - Biology Honors2 - English Honors (The most worthless class for what I want to do with my life.)3 - Algebra II/Trig Honors4 - Strength TrainingLunch5 - Computer Hardware Technology (A prep course for Cisco, which is what I am taking next year)6 - Latin III7 - World History part II HonorsEnd 3:28pmI have a busy day, but it is all good after Lunch.

I WAS sposse to get them off a month, but they said that I would have ot get th em off in September or so. I have them since 3rd grade, and I am in 10th grade now, that is about 7 years. I have all sorts of metal in my mouth. There are advantages to braces, like they are a good teeth gaurd for your mouth, even if it cuts you lip. Ummm...Well that sums it up. It suck to try and play an instruments with them. I didn't have acctaul braces until 8th grade, so for the 2 years before I played an instrument without them. It sucked to play with them. Remember! Braces are Sexy! One_and_Only, you manbeast!

Oh No! It's a retarded person thing! RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!LoL, ya I have seen that before, but just one big picture, and had some rap song, "Shake that thing, girl, shake that thing!" Pretty funny. It was at Ebaumsworld.com.

That game sounds so cool. I am more into "how smooth looking graphics can I get" games. This game looks great, and if HL2 ever comes out, snicker snicker, then I might be able to say the same.But even the 1000th time a headcrab jumps in my face, it is still scary. As long as I feel like I am in controll and making progress that is how I enjoy games, not the difficulty. Difficult thing will make it repeative to have to do the level over again. Oh, and nice win. That is what a true battle should be. When your adreniline is pumping and you are destroying something much greater than yourself, and then walk out of it with almost no health left to fight another.

UnwantedHero, does it runs pretty smoothly with your rig. Mine is the same, 1.8gz, 512mb, FX5700 Ultra. Plus I am building a new computer and that will be a 2.8hz, 1gb ram, and the same FX5700 Ultra. I am going to get it some time, and I really was worried I'd have to wait till I am done with my new one to play it. Which would be cheaper, becuase it would have been out for a bit.

I was wondering if a floppy drive is really needed any more? Becuase CD-RWs is what I use any more. And if I really needed to use it I could just take the USB one my Mom has and plug it in. (She has it for her laptop). Save me $10

Ok, the "problem" started about 3 months ago when I heard a frightning grinding noise. FIrst thought, hard drive. Well I did a cold shut down and went to bed. The next morning I turned it on, and it ran fine, but I noticed the power supply fan in the back going in bursts. But it worked fine.Now keep in mind, this is a HP Pavilion 751n, has a 150-200watt PS. I have 2 optical drives, 1 HD, Pentium 4 1.8gh, 512mb RAM, GeForce FX 5700 Ultra. That sounds dangerous, but I had it running for 3 months without any problem.Well, the PS worked fine for another 4 months, and the burst happen again for a day then stopped. Later on I am playing WC3 and the graphics go crazy. I was like, NO, and the preformed a cold shut down. The next day, the same thing. Well, I figured the computer was overheating because my room was really hot, yadda yadda yadda. Finally I was like wait, I look at the PS fan, no movement. BINGO.Well I get all these ideas and try to reason. I have another case, gonna use it to build another computer. Maybe just move the stuff into it and use the PS in there. No, I don't want to deal with that. Soo, the next idea was, ot punch out the back edges that hold the power supply in, because this is a MicroATX case. So I did that, put it in, plugged everything up and started up beautifuly. It seems like it runs a bit faster too. It is great. The PS installed is Raidmax 400w. It came with the case for the other computer, but i put a Allied 400w in that one.

I am reading The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. It is about a platoon in the Vietnam war. I am not too far in it, but it seems to be just about the horror of the war. It talk about their burdens; acctaul items to their thoughts. It is a pretty good book. That book and the next book, 1983, are on my summer reading list. The other ones were all other types of classic literature, O, Cry the Beloved Country and I Know Why the Cagged Bird Sings. They didn't seem to interest me too much.

Well, recently there has been a major slow down on the internet because one company had somthing happen to it and a it cause a ripple effect throughout the internet. See if hte problem persistes and then go complaine to the incompetent Tech Support people at your ISP.

Alot of groups I only like one or two songs of. Like Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down, Usher, example. I like most Southern rock music, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top. Then older groups, Jimi Hendrix, Doobie Brothers, Dire Straites. Then other various artistes, Marylin Manson, Oakenfold, Don Davis, "Weird" Al, Three Doors Down, Queen, and Rolling Stones (who doesn't). I really like Rob Zombie's music. I like every song of his.I hope I didn't foget any.

Well, of course it went throught a helmet. Helmets rarely do anything besides protect from debris and light shrapnel. How they like to test how strong the penetration really is, is by shooting it throught MANY layers of kevlar. Like the P90 can go through 45 layers, that is all I know. I'd figure the M82 is higher than that, but the P90 also has a specialy designed bullet that is ment to penetrate through easly.M82 0wnes you and your wee doggie too! 8)

One billion dollars, lets see... Well I would buy huge tracks of land. Computers. Wire my house to Internet2 with fiber, and to the rest of the internet, but have to set up lots of firewalls because I would be one of the only people that is directly connected to both of them. Buy myself a Porsche Carrera GT, well, buy every model of Porsche ever. Big garage. Mechanics for the cars. A F-16 would be nice. Ok, one word, Computerhousewiredwithawsomelan. Some cows. One of those REALLY REALLY big dump trucks. Lots of moter vehicals; motocycles, 4-wheelers, etc. A big pool. A big pond. A nice suit. A big TV. Beer, wait I'm not 21, o well, I'm rich. Flashlights. An elite group of SEALs to gaurd the house. I think I might be over my budget. Good thing I invested into companies that have had a major boom and I was notified to sell, and no one found out. :DEDIT: OMG, I forgot one of the most important things, guns. Lots and lots, and lots of guns. You-name-it-I-have-it amount of guns. O Ya!And yes a shooting "area".

OMG, that is awsome...umm, my turn.

What message is it? Because I get one too, it is about every so often. And I get a differen't one every so often will others Steam games.

I agree.

O ya, the processor isn't any different that what we have now. It only has the pins on the motherboard instead.

PhilCarson, spoil what? This stuff is awsome, not that I would buy it now. First, the only reason I would buy it is to say that I had the first consumer availbe motherboard that includes: Socket 775, PCI-E, and DDR2 on the same board. True, right now is isn't any better that what we have, but this stuff can be made much faster than what it is. True, PCI-E is only 500mhz, and AGP is MAXED at 2.4ghz.But, DDR2 is up at 8.4ghz bandwith, DDR doesn't get near that speed. And also audio quality being at 192kbs for HD audio is good too.O ya, Intel, they have always controlled everything. Intel were the ones who made PCi in the first place. They then just licenced it to other companies. Intel is a company that does something and others follow. This is only the beginning too. I would NEVER go buy this stuff now, but it will get MUCH better.
