2. Discussions which actively encourage illegal hacking/malicious harm to computers/networks is prohibited (this includes discussion surrounding use of proxy servers)

3. Rude, offensive or threatening comments as well as posting of adult material will not be tolerated. Use of bad language is not allowed, some words are censored and will appear as ****. Just because **** appears instead of the banned word, that does not make it alright, you will still receive an infraction/possible ban.

4. Spam, multiple posting of same topic, promoting your own site/forum and posting of sites with affiliate ID's is not allowed.

5. In case #4 wasnt clear enough, anything along the lines of free/cheap Ipod, Vaio, Computer, etc is a no-no. Also posts or signatures saying come and join my new computer forum will be considered as spam and will be promptly deleted.

6. If you've got questions about user ranks and other pseudo-administrative type questions, check FAQ and Ranks before posting a question about it. Also, feel free to drop in an introduce yourself here!

If you want help picking out parts whether its an entire system or just parts or to upgrade or anything really, make sure to specify the following information:
1. Your budget. This is the most (literally) limiting factor. You dont need to nail it down to an exact number of dollars and cents: a rough estimate is more than sufficient. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, monetary values are understood to be in USD.

2. The purpose: what do you plan to use the system/component for? This will help the rest of us who might respond to be able to tailor a response to a specific requirement you might have.

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights. How you do anything, is how you do everything!
