Recently, two videos have been posted regarding Valve's next steps for VR. One is from Tyler McVicker. The other is from Thrillseeker. I haven't seen much discussion of this online except for a few news outlets that report on rumors and leaks, so I wanted to get people's opinions here...

Back when Half-life 2 was a new game, this was a pretty amazing PC. Now, it's been nearly 17 years. I'm hoping someone on these forums has one of these and is willing to part with it. Falcon has always been a boutique builder w/ high prices, but high quality. I've never been able to afford one...

What's the chipset on the motherboard? I looked up the model number you listed but it says it's an LGA 775 board. Depending on the chipset, I'm interested.

I'm looking for a GTX Titan Black for ~$180-200 shipped depending on the model. Let me know if you have something you are willing to sell. I'm looking for something close to reference design in terms of size of cooler since it needs to fit in my Valve Steam Machine. I'm looking to upgrade...

Weekly bump!

Bump! I'm happy to pay market price. I was thinking ~$150 for 780 Ti or ~$230 for Titan Black. Thanks!

I'm not sure what price I'd like to pay other than knowing that eBay has been a bit high for what these cards are really capable of these days. The card needs to be reference design since it'll be going in a Steam Machine.

1D10? That is so close to 1D10T, which would have been the perfect name for the slower variant. Sadly, reality doesn't match comic potential.

If all he cares about is time played, then why wouldn't companies just design games to get people to play as often as possible for as long as possible because, you know "good value." Except at some point it just becomes Farmville. It becomes work, and feels like stupid, infinite "arrow in the...

This is what I was going to post. It's either only capable of charging that fast in theory, or they're using some super-capacitor array that charges like normal over a 4-8hr period and then dumps it all to the car battery when plugged in.

And then you have Philly where we all get the "don't merge until you are forced to" mentality, but you also have a-holes who just drive in on the shoulder because their exit is in 5 miles. I hate Philly.

I don't really agree with this assessment of 2D to 3D conversion. The thing about filming in native 3D is that it's really impossible to do well. Our eyes evolved to do a few things simultaneously. First, they focus at a specific distance, whatever distance it is we're trying to focus on. They...

I'm not a "fan" of 3D, but have never particularly hated it either. The Martian was legitimately better in 3D than 2D. So was Guardians of the Galaxy. The Walk was really amazing in 3D. I've come to the point where, if there's a movie I really want to see in theaters and it happens to have...

Mike, you can get a used Chevy Volt, a car that has a sub 7 second 0-60, a 30 mile all electric range, and a hybrid mode that rivals any Prius or any other traditional hybrid for $15k or less. I got a 2013 model more than a year ago for $15k with only 8,000 miles on it. If I put a full charge...

This is the same logic as the anti-piracy groups. There isn't a 1:1 ratio of downloads to lost sales. I use Netflix very infrequently (less than once a month) using my parents' credentials. If I didn't use their credentials there's no way I would get a subscription. Maybe (and this is a big...

If MS ever releases a phone that's also, you know, just a computer . . . then I might be interested. I could install whatever I want on it and have fun. Oh wait, that's Android.

You're describing the Chevy Volt. It's all electric until you run out of battery, then it switches to a gas mode that charges the battery. The gas motor does have a hybrid mode where the gas motor will also add traction to the drive line, but never without the electricity also powering it. It's...

I'm really happy with my Volt. It has a 32 mile electric only range and maybe once a week we'll have a day of errands that puts the car into hybrid mode. That means most days all I drive on is pure electric. But I love the hybrid feature and really wouldn't want to live without it. I like...

Back on topic . . . Could UPS have made this thing any uglier?

Since the author of the original article went here, I'm going to go here. In most places, child pornography isn't defined as just pornography involving actual underage children. It includes adult women who look like children and are pretending to be children. It often includes animations of...

Here's a long overdue bump. Make an offer if you want anything.

The $89 images on their website are 17x17, or 289 crayons in total. Various products on Amazon price crayola crayons at 10.3 cents each, so that would be ~$30 in cost, plus labor etc. The profit margin seems about right for these, honestly. Not that it's something I'd want in my house, but the...

Bump. I'm open to offers. Happier if I can move multiple items at once.

BUMP! PM offers if any of this seems unreasonable.

CPU 1 (Intel Celeron G1820) - $43, free Shipping in the USA and free Scythe 120mm fan. CPU 2 (Intel Celeron G1840) - $48, free Shipping in the USA and free Scythe 120mm fan. CPU Cooler: Coolit Vantage AIO Cooler - $80, Free shipping in the USA. PSU: Thermaltake W0319RU (850 watts) PSU - $50 +...

I've had mine for almost two months now. It's spent most of its life at my office where I've been working on getting architectural designs into VR (with a fair bit of success). I'm going to be taking it home today since I'm leaving town for a week. I've been really happy with it. I have a fairly...

I got my order in :04 minutes after they opened. My credit card has had a hold placed on it, but no charge yet and no tracking info. I get that it's a preorder and that they can't ship them all at once, but Shen Ye (of HTC) said on twitter, "Woah, more than 15k units in less than 10min." So...

I sit ~10-12' from the screen. Because of that I don't think I'd go any bigger. I sometimes have people over but my wife doesn't think that having people over to watch a movie is a good activity since you can't really interact socially during the movie. I don't really care and I don't think...

I have 110" screen and a projector. I also have friends. I know people would be willing to chip in to have a screening party vs. having to all sit silently and motionless at a theater. I'd be down for sure. And on the piracy thing. It wouldn't be a cam version. HD rips would show up immediately.

One of those pre-orders is mine! I'm pumped!

I posted this method a bunch of times in Windows 10 threads here. It mostly got ignored, but it's been the method I've used ever since those prompts started coming up.

Sell 360 controller for profit? So his recipe is this, 1) Buy $600 VR HMD. 2) Sell included 360 controller for $610. 3) Profit!

Bump! All that is left is the PSU and CPU cooler. I'll give it a couple days and if I get no nibbles I'll go to the trouble of posting photos.
