    Gaming Is it a good idea to get a xbox 360 arcade?

    If you are going to do Live right away, get the Pro or Elite that comes with the hard-drive. Otherwise, you will have no room (or at least not enough) to download demos, other arcade games, videos, add-ons, etc.... If you are NOT going to be doing Live right now, the Arcade should be fine since...

    Hardware TV monitor combos. Are they great?

    If the TV is a larger screen, and the VGA input is limited in the resolution, then yeah, your PC input may look...well...crappy. Especially games. Check out the maximum resolution the TV supports in VGA mode, and that will tell you if it is worth it.

    Hardware computer ill buy,advices please

    As far as I am concerned, that would be a sweet rig. The only suggestion I would make was go with a different brand Vid card (I got BURNED by Sapphire once upon a time) and I have never heard of that brand of DVD drive, but the specs themselves are sweet. As for power supply, I would go as high...

    Hacking If I was gonna buy a new card....

    But since each person wants something different, has specific needs, and values personal experiences over reviews/website ads/etc... shouldn't they have the right to ask specifically based on their own personal motivations instead of being told to search it and leave us alone? BTW, can you tell...

    Hacking If I was gonna buy a new card....

    Ok, thanks to the guys with real suggestions. To the ones who love to scream "search next time dumbass" sometimes, when your life is more that just sitting behind a computer screen, when you have a wife, 3 kids, full time school, and everything else that involves, sometimes there isn't much...

    Gaming WoW Private Server

    What I can't stand is how people complain that $15 a month is way too much for a game. Anyone been to a movie lately? You pay anywhere from $7-$15 just to get in for an average of 2 hours of entertainment or $3.5-$7.5 per hour. You pay WoW $15, and if you only play 3 hours a week, that amounts...

    Hacking If I was gonna buy a new card....

    I have an R4, and have been pretty happy with it, but I have the itch to upgrade a little. I am on a budget, so I don't need the most expensive thing going, just some suggestions on a good balance between price and features. I want something with good support from the producer, good...

    Gaming Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword countdown

    Urr...no. Buy a game that the developer put time into, worked out the bugs, delivered what was promised, and generally made a great game. Doesn't matter how much it will make, if it deserves it, buy it. That way, top quality titles continue to be released.

    Hardware Case Airflow

    Ignore my ignorance...I was studying for a pharmacology test, so I was fried... My PSU is at the very top of the case, and I see now yours isn't, I was assuming the air at the top coming in was the PSU, now I realize it isn't. Hope all is working well for you now...and I will shut up...LOL

    Hardware -R? +R?

    The way I chose was to buy a small pack of each, and see what worked better with MY gear, and that is what I use. The burners will use either in almost every case, but sometimes different players are picky and will play one better than the other. All the tech info in the world means nothing if...

    Hardware Case Airflow

    Are you sure that is the direction your PSU moves air in? Mine pulls air in from inside the case, and blows it out the back, basically the opposite from yours. Wierd... Also, if you have an aftermarket PSU, you might wanna see if you can flip the fan and reverse the flow. Mine is capable of...

    Hardware Is this a good computer?

    There wasn't much of a price difference in the E6300 and E6550 and they had a free shipping special on most of the things I ordered (only paid about $12.50 TOTAL shipping on everything including the monitor) so I figured I did pretty good. Wow, I did say I overclocked it to 3 GB didn't I...

    Hardware 8800GS 384MB 129.99USD shipped AR @newegg

    Not wanting to start an argument, but that was not my understanding of the function of the memory interface. All the memory will be used, the interface is simply put the bandwidth that the GPU and the memory use to communicate. Therefore, a 256 bit interface can transfer information from the GPU...

    Gaming Team Fortress 2!

    I am sorry, but you are very mistaken. It is very much a shooter, very much class based the way class based should be, and total fun to play, even if you suck like I do. Don't go by the cheezy preview videos they made, you owe it to yourself to try it. I seriously doubt you will regret it.

    Hardware Can anyone recommend a good 8600 vid card..

    Last question, and I will make my decision. I found a 256MB 8800GT (112 streams, GS/GTS 96) and 256 bit memory interface for the same price as the GTS. I think I know the answer, but should I go with this one. Also, it is a Gigabyte (manufacturer) card with a Zalman fan. THanks one last time.
