  1. I'm wary of no-names as well, and if going with a no name it'd be best to have as much overhead as possible. Even if it seems like overkill. Also, Phenom II's are generally lower at idle and load than Core i7, but not Core i5 (which is the more affordable line).
  2. Check your cords, make sure the connections are good and try it with different cords and see if it still happens. If not...well then you'll know. Otherwise I don't really have any ideas since it's only happening on the external I doubt it's the Video Card, unless it's that Video out port that is having issues. What are you using? VGA DVI HDMI? Can you switch to a different one than what you are using?
  3. http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/ Has some pretty good deals for the price. In fact, This but change the GPU to a 5770 is £531 with VAT, but before shipping. It defaults to a 450W PSU and they(cyberpower) recommend 600W for the 5770, the 600W brings it to £547. That's with a 500GB HDD instead of 1TB, but you switch to 1TB for £24. It's also with an OS, which Vista Ultimate is £55 (32bit) and 7 Home is £70. Standard Shipping to UK mainland is £25. If that comes out to too much, the CPU is AMD's new 6-core model, so dropping that to an older (but just as capable) Quad or Dual can shave off anywhere from £12-£102.
  4. About to go to school, but when I get back I'll post something.
  5. I don't know if you guys can use Hulu, but it's actually pretty nice. About a minute of ads spread out before the video starts, at the beginning and before credits roll. At least for Fist of the North Star which I just started watching, it's so bad it's awesome. Actually it's awesome for other reasons, but goddamn some of the animation is atrocious. Par for the time period I suppose. Hulu also will nicely play each episode in order automatically. And taking 480p (I believe) to full screen doesn't look bad like usual. And now I'm back to FotNS.
  6. I need that.
  7. I always wanted to play Doshin the Giant, and I don't think the name or box art are that bad. LSD: Dream Emulator comes to mind.
  8. A car salesman may be able to tell you it's a good deal (that is their job after all) but they aren't mechanics and can't tell you if it'll break in a month. If there is someone who you know and trust their knowledge about cars, have them take a look at it.
  9. I meant blink an eye at as being suspicious, regardless of pedigree.
  10. Most of those aren't anything to blink an eye at, but wasn't HAWX 2 like just announced this week? And it would be rather surprising for it to come to the Wii as well.
  11. Played today, my Console worked fine. So it was nothing to do with the HUD.
  12. They need to step up their online structure before I would consider paying. I barely even pay for Live, and I wouldn't if I didn't have friends I play with.
  13. Best advice is go to a store and look at anything you might be interested in, something may look good online but you hate it in person. Ebuyer has some worthwhile deals, as does http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Laptops/Laptops/
  14. I am now using a sexy new HUD for TF2. Main Page Large Screenshots I really like it other than the breakdown of points is in the lower right so my netgraph blocks it (which I plan to turn that off anyways) and that (this may just be me, haven't heard from the creator yet) I can't access the console to turn off the netgraph.
  15. Item drops and combining are just so fucked up, pretend they don't exist.
  16. This is real time, Xenosaga and Xenogears (unrelated actually) I think are both turnbased. I believe that Xenoblade is also unrelated to Xenosaga besides perhaps some references and the Xeno name.
  17. I went "Holy shit." at 2:08.
  18. I was hoping for the portable Arc welder personally.
  19. With update 119 Valve teases their Engineer update. Just a short 29 second video is all.
  20. That is sweet. Man, Europe is getting lucky with S&P, released before the NA, better name, better cover, and the cover is reversible as well.
  21. I don't think even without my super high agility in Oblivion Traveling by horse would be faster. Riding in that game is basically useless to me and I never did it. It was faster to run overland on foot than by horse.
  22. I've been reading through George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. It's rather above most Fantasy novels and more mature. Too bad the 4th book is is kinda short (600 pages compared to the previous 1200 or so) and ends with a word from Martin saying, He had lots more written, but it was just becoming too large for a single book, hopefully what he wrote will be out next year....he said that in 2005, the story has not been continued yet, and sadly most of the characters are practically ignored in the 4th book as their parts were cut to make it smaller. It's a series I would recommend.
  23. Oh...I was hoping the "Mon" indicated a pokemon /metroid hybrid.
