played a few 1v1 games to get into it and lost big time until i figured out wtf was going on. played 1v1 and finally won after a few hours. will try out a bigger map now. the game is kind of repetitive and just seems to be a type of tug of war between planets. The game is really quite...

http://www.everybody-dies.com/ Would you like to play a game of global thermonuclear war? It's got a work setting so if you hit escape twice or something it minimizes to the system tray. You can play one game that last hours. Never played it at work but it was fun little game. You can...

I agree. Game was decent, but nothing has really changed. Not that I expected it to. Why change something when it's that popular? However, it's very linear, scripted with the guy jumping down the stair every time. It looks nice, but is there going to be any replay value in this? To me this...

ahahah plush companion cube. halarious.

Haha same for me. The first 18 levels were kind of like Cube 2 being all white and such and the fact that it's a hypercube and we're essentially bending space in portal. I must say though, this was probably one of the oddest games i've ever played. But entertaining none the less. Also, don't...

I have everything enabled to the max and dx 10 but I don't really have any time to look at anything because there's always this darn war going on that has me preoccupied. I do love taking in those opportunities where you can sit back and watch the b-52 come in and carpet bomb the crap out of...

I wouldn't really think about taking a day off work to play a game. I have had a few games that I have anticipated highly, but I was always able to put if off for a few hours and go to work. I agree with mcravenufo. I really only stay home from work if I'm actually sick. But I have plenty of...

The NY cutscene before you battle the Speznas at the Statue of Liberty is worth the price of this game by itself. Amazing.

Yeah, that desk came from staples as well. I have seen the tacens in that thread and I agree, they doo look amazing. I didn't really want as much flash on this rig. My last one was all blue led fans, so I ust decided to tone it down a bit. If the tacens do end up in North America, I will...

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I actually just today finished tidying everything up and wired it up in my room. Desk is still a little messy, but this should give you an idea of the setup: The book with the swastica is "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". I'm not a...

does anyone know if dx10 is enabled in the demo? Those pics look amazing.

I've got the promedia 2.1's and their awesome. Highly recommend them.

it's not that difficult, just takes a little patience. Use a magnetic phillips screwdriver. Remove the entire thing from the case first by taking out the 4 corner screws in the extreme corners where you have to put the screwdriver through the holes Then work on getting the fan out. Not...

Finished her up on Friday for the most part. Waiting for the black SATA cables to some in so I can get rid of the red. Pretty happy with the way it turned out. Will tidy up a bit more when i'm doing the SATA and also will hook up the front USB/Audio ports. Didn't realize there was an...

The board is an ASUS P5K Premium, and the light isn't brighter than any other mobo light, I think it's just the position of the computer since the light shines directly in my face. Anyway, the paint or tape should work well. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Well, here's a bit of an odd question but here goes. Finished building my system yesterday and it looks and works great. I decided that I want to put it on top pf my desk instead of underneath so I can show off my work and so I can admire the beautiful rig myself. Only problem is that...

Started a work log to post the pics so I don't clutter this thread. When its' done i'll post it in here. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1218788

Power supply was next just to get it in there. And then started work on the mobo tray. Didn't really take many pictures of my adventures with the mobo, but I probably screwed that thing down and took it back off 8 or so times because I found something I wanted to do each time after I had...

Next I was kind of messing around to see how I will arrange things with the dvd and the 120mm fan/bay converter. I think I like this set up better than having the dvd drive on top. I installed the 3 fan controller in the 3.5" floppy drive bay and will use that for: 1: Bay converter intake...

Here's the deal. My project doens't have a name, nor do I really consider it a project the way some of you guys do with all the modding. I started this thread because I was posting my progress in the TJ09 gallery when really that should be left alone for finished cases. So I have some pics so...

This is how I am setting it up in my current build (I have the Silverstone CFP51-B for intake): I wasn't planning on using the two top fans. Do the rest of you use these fans? I would most likely set those up as exhaust, but some people have said they work better as an intake. Perhaps...

ha ha yes it should look familiar to you! I like the way it turned out so the credit goes to you for the idea. Doubt I would have done it without seeing someone else do it first to see how it looked. Should look pretty bad ass in there since the mobo is the black pearl edition, psu is black...

Thanks for the kind words officermartinez. I think that's the great thing about us all here. We have a lot of fun putting together our rigs and it's nice to be able to add that extra touch that makes it that much nicer. It's easy to slap together a bunch of parts. Anyone of us could...

Specs I went with: Motherboard tray and rear pillars painted flat black. Turned out decent. Looks better than the bright aluminum. Everything else in the case will be black so I figured a black motherboard tray would be nice as well. Can really see the 5" or 3.5" bays up front with the...

i prefer the tj09. if i need the 5" bays i'll just take the thing out. no big deal.

Taking a page out of nvusgt's book I decided to paint the inside of my new tj09 flat black. Of course, that is not black...thats the white primer. When their painted black and I put the thing back together, i'll post more pics. Whilst taking the case apart I decided to get rid of the...

yeah for sure, it's a never ending cycle, but it absolutely is a lot of fun. can't wait forever. there's always something new around the corner...just enjoy what you have!

if the card is out by november 20th i'll be happy because i can step up. couldn't wait any longer and the price i got on an ultra was one i couldn't pass up. if not, oh well. i guess there's a bit of gambling in pc components.

very nice. man I love this case.

1680x1050 at home on 21" lcd 1280x1024 at work on 17" lcd

Cheers, appreciate it.

That is a gorgeous desk. Looks like cyron1 has the same one. I would love to know where it can be found also. Thanks.

I ran a x1950 pro agp on a 430W Antec Truepower 2.0 with 20A on the 12V rail if that helps anyone. 2 optical drives, 1 hhd, 1 fan controller etc. Took it back though. I'll wait for the price to drop a bit. $350 cdn to go from medium settings on a x800 pro to high settings with a x1950 pro...

It was a super long time ago, probably 7 or 8 years from Staples I think. I don't have a part number or anything, and I doubt they sell it anymore. Sorry. Thanks for the comments guys. And AlmostEvil, monitor's great eh? I love it. I got mine in July and don't know how I ever did...

Got a new HDTV. Samsung LNS3251D 32" Motorola 6416 HD STB Sony DVP-NS75H HDMI Upconverting DVD player Computer LCD is a Gateway FPD2185W 21". Computer specs in sig.

Is that an Alberta licence in your wallet?

How do you like the P180? I was thinking of going that route also.

that's a cool idea. i may try that this weekend.

yeah, looks like a pretty solid deal to me. :D

Yeah, that fan at the back of the case should be exhaust. Your messing up the airflow by having that an intake. Air should come in low at the front and exit at the rear and at the top. Your blowholes are exhaust, your rear fans should all be exhaust. Intake fans should be at the front.
