That's nice
I am a thrill-seeker though
My list of to-dos involves sky diving, bungee jumping, going real fast in a real fast car (passenger seat of course)

You would rather look at your PSP screen that the ground rushing up to meet you :P
On my third, or fourth jump I would strap myself to a snowboard, and AIRBOARD!!!!!!!!!! :D

LOL, great
BUT what if your PSP slipped from your grasp, and plummeted to the ground in front of your watering eyes, beacuse of gravity's loving embrace
(I'm good at english/writing :P)

I'm not terribly convinced by recent Need for speed games, but I'll at least have a look.

I know what you mean
Most Wanted was the last good game, and it seems they have realized that as this involves cops quite a but as well. But in this you are on the right side of the law ;)
Looks good from the vids I've seen
Carbon was decent tho, but too short

Sam - thanks for the info about what to look for in the bios - next Wednesday I'll take a look. My grill and 120mm scythe arrived from Frozen CPU - I might install the top exhaust fan next week - still waiting for the intake fan filter on the side 120mm. (fixed the rubbing issue on the kama bay front intake as reported earlier.)
The good stuff is still to come - Corsair 450w psu, 3850, and 2 gigs memory. Then it will be time to OC the 3.2 p4 - if possible.
-Rich

Shaff - I know, here it comes again: WHY SINK $200 IN A P4??
Ok, I'm spending $120 on the 3850, $55 on the psu, and $70 on the 2 gigs, about $240 all together - I have $240, but I don't have $800.
This will tide me over until the new $2000 build (including monitor.) This machine will end up being a spare.
My PC store buddy Mo says don't buy the new psu, but he is going by 500watts not by amps on the 12 volt rail - I've told him until I'm blue in the face. He thinks it will handle it - and you know what, it probably would - FOR A WHILE.
But when I put the psu in the gaming rig, I can then put that psu - 20 amps on 12volt rail, in the 'green' computer, 2.8 p4, that right now has an Allied 350 with 15 amps on 12 volt rail, which is going to get the x850xtpe. So for $55, two computers get better psus - and so it's a cheap insurance policy and you guys, Sam especially, convinced me to do the psu change.

It's far better spending a tenth of the cost of a new rig updating an old one temporarily than it is to put new parts in a PC with a dodgy PSU. Mo clearly doesn't build gaming PCs.

So you selling lots of houses now?
Honestly that 200 dollars are better spent on a Xbox 360. You will get WAY better GFX than on your PC.

gosh, i miss a lot! Why doesn't notification doesn't work?!
Anyways, PC is much better mate, the graphics is way powerful than 360's but the advantage about consoles is that you don't have to worry about if the game works or not, all you need to do is insert the disc and play...different than computers tho

Dude, the Xbox 360 graphics looks much nicer than a P4 and a HD3850. Plus it has Halo :)

No, I still suck at selling houses - I haven't yet been able to get myself back on the phone like I used to - but I do have these three little escrows closing. So I can pull $300 out for my "tech" hobby fix.
You're right Sam, Mo only once in a while builds the occasional high-end gaming rig for the occasional client - he kind of builds it to order - I hope to God he puts a decent PSU in those rigs - but mostly he builds corporate PCs - many of them are for engineering companies running AutoCAD.
Abuzar! An Xbox?? A console!! All those buttons and levers? You are thinking of some other guy you know named Rich. :P Hey I know you and Sam can manage it, but come-on Boozer - I've tried playing with console controllers a couple of times, and I'm all thumbs.
My fingers don't like learning new tricks - especially when Shaff comes around the corner with his shottie!! :D
I'm just now trying to get used to the 4 key - without having to look at the keyboard (stun grenades saved my butt several times yesterday!) Half the time I end up reloading - then later I end up stunning myself when I mean to reload! LOL! So yesterday I was trying to make myself practice - "Go for the use key E - and it's just above that."
I turned the F key into my knife, so I can halfway find it. I have remembered to use it maybe 3 times. Two weeks ago I was completely out of ammo and no fallen guns in sight, I thought "What now?" Then I remembered the melee key as I walked around a corner and practically bumped into the enemy - I was crashing into him hitting the F key like an idiot - he was running circles trying to get me in his sights. It ended happily - I took his gun - hooray!!
Then there is the graphics issue, 1600x1200 versus television resolution. Bah humbug! HD is one thing, but regular TV - sorry I'm not into it. Now, I totally understand, boozer, the big screen TV and all the buds hanging out in the family room - makes sense for socializing with pals. Lol

Aha, yeah it does.
Took me a while to get used to keyboard. I think controllers are so much easier because everything is within reach.
