Wargasm

Yep, came in this week. I was in Buf all week redoing water lines in a friends b-room, just got home. Next question - how long will it take me to install it? Dont know if I have the energy tonight, but its here. I did get the sony, and its black. Now the only drive I need to change is the DVD player, that one is still grey.

Hey, look at that....Nakid Computers!!!! Give it a fancy french name and post it in the adult section, I bet you get a million hits a month... Where do you get the side panels? Looks like they would fit my antec case

A board with no posts???? Probabaly because this topic is discussed elswhere... So who's got the biggest, baddest vid card here?? My Radeon 9000 pro seems to work just great

Yea, it is a nice board. I might get one with my next cpu. DVD burner had to come first.I just ordered the Sony. Now I'l be able to burn those ps2 games......and make more expensive coasters...hehe

So Bob, which DVD burner do you think is the best buy for the money? Under $200?

Yea it does both. I checked it. Price is more than the NEC, and they have one in black http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=27178 They also have a dru510AX. I dont see any major differences, so why does it cost more? Still can only do 4.7 gig DVD's. Where are the ones that do 10.5 gigs? They arent available to consumers yet? or are they still too rediculously priced....like lazer printers? .....by the way, why am I listed as a gaming fan instead of a hardcore gamer??? not enough posts??? You've run into my flak cannon many a time. I guess you just couldnt see me cause you were just gibs....hehe

The NEC 1300A I was looking at is black, both sellers had the same model in black. I know you try to avoid it, but try looking on egay...hehe. The prices are better than pricewatch sometimes, and they have more variety. I'll look for the DW-U10A on there, but If I remember correctly, it doesnt support the new +r/+rw standards. I'm remembering the initial CDR compatability nightmare....expecially when someone brings me a computer from that era. I worked on a P400 laptop about a month ago. It wouldnt read my old burns, ones I made with the old 4x burner. I had to make a copy of my old CD's for the system to be able to read the disk. Just compatability issues. The old CDrom couldnt read that cd format. Mine didnt have a problem with it. I'll look for more info on the DW-U10A

Yea, I was looking at that one too, but didnt find a lot of info on it. I want to make sure it is compatable with all the different formats, since it will have to replace my Sony 40x burner. Also, the NEC drive I was looking at is black - matches the case. By the way, what CDrom are you using now? I got a black one if youre interested. That Creative 52x drive died, so I replaced it with a 52x black drive. I bought 2. NOt sure what brand it is, I'll have to get to my box of parts for that info.

Do we want a gamer logo?? Or something resembling tech support?? I think of the old plumber commercials, how could we create a similar image to a computer that a flooded basement would be to a plumber?? How about a pic of the PC monster, something that eats people....hehe

Hmmmm......you got the 200, eh?? I guess I'll have to stop by and swap cpu's....hehe. I wonder how long it will take you to notice. Just finished getting my brother-in-laws PC running, AthlonXP2200, Asus A7N8X deluxe mobo. Had to play around with his OS's to get them to see it. WinXP and 2000 dont take hardware changes very well.

I'm looking to buy a dvd burner, but it has to be able to do anything...I'm out of IDE connections. Dont want to pay almost 300 for a plextor, been looking at the NEC ND-1300A DVD+RW/-RW Drive. Anyone got one of these? If so, any problems?

I'm sure you will be there, by now you gotta be having withdrawal. 2 months without a chance to clobber us in UT. I've been playing Starwars Battlegrounds with some friends, but that game can take a long time. Whats going around at the lan parties these days??

You guys make me feel like I'm falling behind. Still running my AthlonXP 1600+ Radeon 9000 pro - 128 meg 80 gig WD 7200 RPM Occasionally also the 40 gig WD 7200rpm SIS 900 nic & Linksys LNE100TX nic SIS audio onboard - works Altec Lansing sound system Sony 40/24/40 Sony 16x DVD 52x black CDrom Seems like old stuff now, but it works. Hope to see you guys at the August lan party.
