    CPU + Tig Welder?? Help Please

    it'll be fine. long term effects will be nil if any. Short term effects, shouldn't be any. If there are, deal with it. lol. Maybe if you're welding A/C all the time, you might have some wifi disruption, but other than that... don't worry about it. I'd be more worried about the grinding dust...

    I need to stop my brother from using all the bandwidth/downloads

    when I used to live at my parents house, my brother (older) would do the same thing. However, after if I asked him to stop, he usually would... Since it hampers online games quiittteee a bit. So he eventually just would cap the speeds to about 5-10% of our max bandwith... then let it run...

    Advice on new gaming pc, want to buy today..

    I ended up grabbing a 965 140W as well, when newegg had a combo deal with a mainboard for $70 off. saved me a bit of money versus a 920... although the 920 is better, not by enough to warrant an extra 200-300 for me. (I would have got one had i not gotten the discount most likely though, lol)

    Rts...

    What RTS games do you guys play? Not really many ones out there I think that are newish. C&C 3... But I HATE superweapons. Nothing says FU like getting half your base blown up with no strategy involved. No option to turn them off in there at all. Supreme Commander is pretty good...
