Add me to the list as well.

Only $32.90 now. I just picked one up myself

Pencil me in too, Jeff. Are we going to play UT classic with the giant bedroom map in low gravity? You know, for nostalgic purposes.

This is only 3? I thought I was over that.

I only got a spare 3800+ 939 right now... I wasn't super optimistic on anyone having a spare. I did manage to make UT3 demo less Atari like though. I forgot that I hadn't unlocked my 6800 so I was running at 8/4 but I unlocked it and have it back to 16/6. That makes it semi bearable again. If I have to make due with this old POS, so be it. I'll still have a good time. I might have to make a run to the UPS office if the tracking info shows my processor is in town though :harhar: I'll bring the new components just in case.

I'm planning on coming barring unforeseen circumstances. The thing that really sucks is that I have all of my upgrades (DFI lanparty SLI AM2 MB, BFG 8800 GT 512, 2 gigs OCZ Plat 2) all ready to go, but my AMD 4600 X2 won't be here until next week. If anyone has any spare AM2 processors laying around collecting dust I'd love to test this rig out Saturday. If not, I'll have to wait till the December LAN. Can anyone help a brother in need?

I agree I am seriously thinking about buying it. Well, if it were me, I'd take a dual rear panel USB connector (the ones that come with the MB that I never use) that already has the 2x5 header connector and the wire and just pick up the PHR-10 and some pins and solder it on.

I'm not sure about the performance, but it's quiet and the price is right. $1 AR. I Just picked one up in anticipation of future upgrades COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-L9U1-GP 92mm Hyper TX2 CPU Cooler

Here's a fix Fixing Widescreen "bug" & regular 4:3 FOV (Field of View): Download Racer_S's FOV tool - http://dl.tocaedit.com/bioshockdFOV.zip 1)Here's the numbers for BOTH sliders for Widescreen fix: 16:9 = 0.75 sliders 16:10 = 0.833 sliders 2)Devs of Bioshock used narrow FOV(75 degrees), in normal games like Half-life, Quake 3, UT2004 FOV is 90 degrees, so if u wanna correct that: 16:9 = 0.706 sliders 16:10 = 0.75 sliders 5:4 = 0.869 sliders 4:3 = 0.833 sliders Results: Default bad Widescreen - http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/6259/49045047rn5.jpg Widescreen fixed - http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/8949/56645854tf3.jpg Widescreen fixed (90degrees FOV) - http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/5623/51872165tj1.jpg

Anyone else playing Bioshock? I'm digging it so far but would love to see it on a decent system. I have to run with everything cranked down since I haven't done any upgrades in over a year. It's still fun though.

One long 2 short is RAM, same thing happens if you try to boot a system without any ram in it. If you're using x16 DS sticks, I've found some motherboards require the latest bios to support them. I'm going through this now with an ASUS P5B with OCZ Gold DDR2 800. I just sent the board to the manufacturer to flash to the latest BIOS and send it back to me.

Hmm. I went to all 4 Office Depots in the area and not one had a copy of it

Which office depot had it for that price?

Is anyone in the Beta of Archlord? It seems that you need a fileplanet membership to download it, but I found a torrent of it. I haven't actually played it yet because it's downloading some behemoth of a patch at the moment. I'll post back later tonight with my impressions. They have an interesting marketing strategy, offering a unique, in-game item for those who pre-order the full game. Check it out Archlord Game

I guess this is relevant here. I wrote a batch file to shutdown unnecessary processes and free up system resources from idle processes. I use it when playing games and a few others have asked me for it, so I thought I'd post it up for anyone that wants it. Copy the code into a text file. Rename the file taskkill.cmd. Open a CMD prompt and CD to the location you saved the file. Run it as Taskkill -list and it will generate a list of your currently running processes at the bottom of the batch file. Open it and remove any system processes or anything you want to leave running. Afterwards, just run it by double clicking the file or directly from the cmd prompt as taskkill. At any time, you can run it with -list and it will list all running processes, but they have to be filtered manually each time you do so. Only tested on XP systems at the moment. @echo off & setlocal :: Matt Williamson :: rev1 - 6/13/06 :: This batch file will kill all process listed below the Data section. :: If no Data section exists, run with -list option and it will be created :: based upon the currently running processes on your system. :: after creating the list, be sure to filter it of system processes so the :: list only contains those that you want killed.
