Ask Max/Panzer..

But a Dell.. that means no overclocking, little to no customer support, low warrenty, seriously overpriced.. I could go on.

Pretty much the same components. MSN/Xfire Panz or me or make a thread. Let's keep this thread clean

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

1080p?

Nah, 720p. I don't have a Blu-Ray player (can't afford one) and there are only two HD channels at the moment in Austria. But I am buying a Samsung DVD player for €63 on Tuesday to go with the TV and then an HD DVR through the cable company. The shit part is, I won't get to really use any of this stuff for like two weeks ... !!!!!

On Monday I sign the contract for my new apartment. Then in the same day my girlfriend and I are going to go and order all the furniture for the apartment and the kitchen for it, too. Then we have to paint the apartment this weekend, starting Friday afternoon and HOPEFULLY finish Saturday afternoon (we'll see) so that way we can get in as soon as possible. We have our current one bedroom place until the end of the month, though, so at least there's that ...

I got mine from the outlet,

XPS 630

C2D E8400
4gb DDR2 800 ram
8800gt
500gb HDD
850w PSU
XP Pro

$900 about a year ago. Seemed like a pretty good deal to me.

I've upgraded it a bit since (added another DVD burner, TB HDD, 4870 1gb) and I'm about to throw in a new mobo and another 4870.

Prebuilts aren't great, but the dell outlet often gets you around the same price as building, and you still get a warranty. If you aren't seriuos enough about computers to overclock, there's no real reason not to go for a prebuilt.

Sex box 360 elite. Waiting on a few games arriving. I only just realised tbh, about the wireless adapter, need to get one of those too, AND, a live sub. Now that I think of it, this is gonna cost me more than that PS3.

Going to swap battlefield bad company for 360 version with a mate.

While am here, do I need a copy of GTA4 for 360 in order to get that expansion? Or can I just download it.

Thanks xxxxxxxx

Don't waste your money on Microsoft's 360 wireless adapter. Just get a wireless access point like one of these: http://www.airlink101.com/products/access_point.php

If you're referring to TLAD, yes, you need a copy of GTA IV on the 360.

Oh yeah, high mW lasers are fun. Drive on the street outside some kids birthday and start popping balloons.

Or do the same at a presidential parade...

No way!

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
