15GB a month? Not cool, man. I use that much, and I'm tethered through a phone right now. Lord only knows what I'd use with a dedicated connection.

Guys, help me....my trial ended yesterday, and now I'm actually considering subscribing to EVE Online. :eek: I detest the idea of paying $15 a month for an MMO....but it actually has good gamepley, and you can pay for your account with ingame money after a while...but then I have to play enough...

True that. I have a feeling it's more logistics than anything at this point, though.

Well I wouldn't call it "awesome".... The game itself definitely looks awesome though.

Za0ho-vvkXU I lol'd. Discuss?

Whatever you do, get the Team Fortress 2/GMod pack along with it. You'll be entertained for a looong time.

Be waned, it'll be tough at first...going from a controller to a mouse and keyboard is not easy. There's no aim-assist like with most console games. I like it that way, though...

Buying windows 7 would be good...XP doesn't support DirectX 10 or 11. :/

Not related to brightness, no, though I did notice that it doesn't happen when the monitor is cold. That mean anything? Google is failing me... It's fairly clean inside :/

True, but that requires me to actually be at the computer, haha

I've got his old HP vs17e that I fixed (caps) and have been using for a while. Within the last couple of weeks, it's started giving off a high pitched whine similar to what you'd hear from a big CRT television. It's loud, too...I have to either use headphones or my musician's earplugs if I'm...

Same, I'm having a go at the 2 week trial thing...seems interesting so far but I don't like traveling. I've just got up and raided the kitchen several times waiting on my dude to fly somewhere... The community seems cool though. They didn't laugh at me too much when I couldn't figure out how to...

A chipset is part of every motherboard, but it isn't the processor. So yes, you still need one. :good:

Motherboards and power supplies are definitely the tricky options right now. Asus and Gigabyte are generally dominating the field with motherboards right now, but most of the other major brands have at least one good board out...even the "cheap" brands like Biostar. ASRock in particular has...

Ah, gotcha...I'd say you're doing a pretty good job :) We're always happy to see new members that know their stuff, haha. Most people come through asking a couple of questions about how to install firefox or something and then leave after a week. :/ You on any other forums? A lot of of us...

Welcome to the forum :) I wouldn't exactly call a $1k+ machine a "budget" build, haha. What do you need to buy with that budget? Just the tower? Or the monitor/mouse/keyboard/OS as well?

^ Oh...680W...I only know one manufacturer that makes those. :(

Welcome to the forum! :) Looks like a beastly rig...I wish I had the resources to do something like that.

Ah, missed that bit. There's probably a guide somewhere...I imagine OCN or [H] will have one somewhere. There may even be one here, but I haven't found it.

Ah, thanks. I'm assuming CPU-Z will still work properly? I want to be able to save a validation file...
