  1. @Shadrach, Whoa, popping sound, not good. Maybe could have blown a non-critcal capacitor or the like. I would give the guts a hard looking at and do some serious stress testing for stabiltiy.

      All seems fine so far. Had a couple of nights of coops without further mishap. I think the main problem is that due to lack of space computer lives in cubbyhole under desk so poor air flow. I now pull it out before use but will put a couple more fans in the case asap. What would I use to stress test?

  2. What the heck? Steam today has ad for COD preorder. Says it won't be available till 19th of April. Looks like the US is getting screwed. Need someone to ship me COD from UK.

      Well, either way, I plan on buying it on Steam simply so I can play it on any computer that I want.. That is an excellent feature IMO...

    Forum Woes

    Firefox, it's just that 3 times in a row today I typed a reply and hit post only to have my message vanish. Isn't usually a problem but I finally got it to post hitting the quote button and typing in my reply.
  5. Not everyone will have a machine capable of running CLOD at an acceptable level so 1946 will still be the mainstay of the dogz for quite some time. Besides, we know nothing of CLOD until we actually get it in our hands and while I'm sure it will be top notch it may have its own quirks in the beginning. The lack of theaters can't be underestimated. BOB missions are great but they can get stale after just playing them over and over. With the lack of American aircraft, Pacific theater or carrier ops there will be many things CLOD just won't be able to satisfy for quite some time if ever. Hopefully we get a PF on the new engine but we can only wait and see. I'm sure in the early days people will be playing CLOD exclusively for a few weeks but after the initial impact fades things will settle out evenly I feel.

    Sometimes after typing out a reply to a post I am hitting the post button and the forum brings me back to the title screen with no trace of my reply anywhere. Its very frustrating after typing a lengthy reply to have it just vanish into thin air. Any idea what is going on with that?
  7. Just checked UPS tracking and my parts are out for delivery which means they're coming today.....EXCITED!!!

      My question is: what the heck did you order?

  8. Seriously, for the $$$ the GTX 560 ti is hard to beat. The MSI offering is factory OCed and everything I've read from owners agrees it runs nice and cool. Supposed to come with Mafia 2 and Just Cause 2 as well which is about 50 or 60 bucks worth of games by itself though I don't know if they would be something you'd mess with at all. I'm just looking forward to a silky smooth Cliffs of Dover and from what I hear this card will blow the doors off a Nvidia 280 when it comes to Rise of Flight so that sounds like a good indicator that Cliff of Dover run equally well if not more so by way of good code optimization. The other thing is that since the drivers for this card are so new they can only get better and faster in the future. I've seen in the area of 15 or 25% performance improvements just based on drivers so who knows what this card will top out as when it's all said and done. By the way no hard feelings just kidding with you.
  9. I was trying to keep it clean, it could have been a WHOLE lot worse.
  10. Hum, good idea. Now where is that Photoshop shortcut again???
  11. OUCH! That was heinous!!!! I wouldn't even wish that on a dog. Though I feel something like that may constitute an RMA. Just for that you get to pick your date tonight from our extensive collection. :sheep1: :sheep1: :sheep1:
  12. Typical....Always such a warm and supportive bunch. Don't make me smash into you head on repeatedly. Now shut your pie hole before I call your wife and tell her your acting out again. In the meantime you can drool over this a little while http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127565
  13. Well, I did it, I just ordered an MSI Frozr GTX 560 ti, 3.2Ghz Quad and a 27 inch monitor in anticipation of CLOD. Please no dead pixels, please no dead pixels.
  14. Well, it could be considered malware due to the enormous amount of time it consumes in ones life. Your anti virus was just trying to do your family a favor.
  15. My first vid, hope you enjoy!!!!
  16. Bucky, Yeah I had just seen you said you could afford $3,000 but would prefer around $2500 when I posted the system. That price was for 3 480gtx cards at $400 a piece. If you only got 1 480gtx and were not planing on running RAID you could get the system down withing your budget if you already have a monitor. http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=19438007 If I am not mistaken Newegg will even (or did at one time) assemble and test the machine for a small fee. They also have a great selection of pre build systems to choose from, check here http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=10&name=Desktop-PCs. They have the best customer service. I always build my own machines but if I was going to buy a pre build I'd get it from them. Most of the parts have a 2 or 3 year warranty. As for building a system yourself it is also that hard and you have all of us here to help. Maybe not with this machine but you should try it one day. It can be quite a rewarding experience but I understand your concerns.
  17. Argh! Sorry guess that link didn't work, try this one and let me know http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=19438007
  18. Check this out, 3 way SLI, with the option to run RAID 0, threw in a case and monitor just for reference purposes https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=19438007
  19. You just need one of these, though I would maybe change the video card. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/processors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=a3336421
  20. An American, a Scot and a Canuk were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened. “Well,” said the American, “I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and that for a donation of $100, we could return to the earth.” He continued, ” So of course, I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $100, and the next thing I knew I was back here.” “That’s amazing!” said one of the doctors, “But what happened to the other two?” “Last I saw them,” replied the American, “the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his.”
