    Gaming PC Build

    I'm thinking about building a PC. This is what I have planned so far: Details: CPU, Motherboard, Video Card, RAM, Hard Drive, Case, Power Supply For about $650 with shipping and after rebates (edit: $750 including Vista Home Premium), I feel that it's a pretty good deal. I don't need to get...

    Need help converting/burning video

    I currently have a .avi file that is 720x480, with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2 so that it stretches out to be 16:9 widescreen.

    New Sig and Avatar

    My homage to the shiniest gorram show in the 'verse. Comments? Criticism? P.S. If you haven't watched Firefly or Serenity, go watch them both now. Especially if you've ever had even a passing interest in scifi.

    Are we allowed to bump topics?

    For example, let's say that you have a question or problem and you make a new topic. And if no one responds for a couple days, and it leaves the first page of topics, are you allowed to double post to bring it up to the first page just to find help? It says not to do so in the rules, but how...

    Just a plain, boring introduction
