You don't want to do that. At least I wouldn't suggest it. You don't want to create static electricity in any way either. I don't know if a vacuum will do that or not though. Stores do sell canned air, which you can buy and use to blow dust out of all the dirty areas. That's what I would recommend. Or if you hvae superman lungs...

Graphics look much smoother in motion, just looks fantastic compared to pictures.

I have about 70 hours and haven't actually beaten the game. I know my dad has beat it at least once and probably has well over 300 hours now. He's doing at least a second playthrough and he's level 18 or 19.

It's Sam Raimi, it's meant to be horror with a twist. That twist being hilarity.

As I suspected. You could always go for a nice bit of Water Cooling. Personally I don't mind the fans and I've used the 4870 with some loud fans.

A 9500 GS....It's on the newer side of things so I doubt the bearing in the fan is going out so to reiterate WnC and Caris check for dust and clean it first. If it's persistent after cleaning, then I suppose it could be the bearing. I would however suggest getting a passively cooled card on the cheaper rather than trying to replace the fan if that is the case. So long as no one games on the PC, it shouldn't pose problems. @Raining Again, a passively cooled 7950GT! Didn't those run hot with fans? Or do you just have a monster copper heatsink?

I guess I'm kinda glad I'm too lazy to take the initiative and send you a friend invite.

Just like to point out that you can also do this with the extremely cheap but excellent AMD Athlon X2 7750. It's aless than 50 after VAC and can have 2 cores unlocked on it and with Stock cooling will easily go to 3.4 Aftermarket air cooling can likely take it to 4Ghz.

Well, my mom just bought a new Vacuum Cleaner and it's a....*drum roll"......Oreck Nah just kidding she got a Dyson.

I feel for you man. I feel for you.

I might throw something new together, but I have a very cheap economical build that can game just fine I may edit in. It about a third of your builds but still pretty good. I could easily change it a bit make it close to 600-700 ish and better. Also, it would be nice to know if you have brand preferences. Core i7 may be the fastest in the world, but for it's price... I prefer a nice AMD build myself, which is what I'll likely post unless you're diehard against them.

Play with friends, makes the game instantly more enjoyable. Also, there are always new players coming into the game, and when in doubt be a medic. I say being a medic is the best for new players, you'll learn the ins and outs of the game, and you can basically do no wrong. Heal teammates until you have an ubercharge (invulnerability) use it on an offensive class and for 8 seconds wreak havoc. Rinse Repeat.

I actually had 22 spy achievements about a week before they put milestones in so I justs joined as a spy and got all of them. I did find the cloak and dagger but that was still after all those achievements... I did notice that the milestones are easier to get now. 5-11-17 instead of 10-16-22.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ugly!

Drugs are bad M'Kay.

What they said.

Well, TF2 added milestones inot the new updates so less chance is required to get new unlocks. The unlock system has also been tweaked to work in a way that isn't terrible.

Do want so bad it hurts. And Shame on all that haven't played or beaten the first game. Shame on you and you're kitty cats.

My brand new ASUS 21.5" 1080p monitor came today. I love it. It's my new baby.

I was going to read more Akira (well, I did but afterwords) but I got sidetracked by the fact that Sympathy for Lady Vengeance was on demand so I had to watch it. You can definitely draw similarities between it and Oldboy, the story is much sadder and seemed a little harder to follow yet simpler at all once. I don't want to spoil anything incase you haven't seen it yet, but it is just as good as Oldboy but for different reasons. Cool fights scenes are nowhere to be found, but a just as intriguing story is weaved throughout the film. I do think I prefer Oldboy, as the fewer characters made it easier to keep track of who's who, and it felt more unique with the twist then SFLV. 8.5/10

It looks to me as though they decided to sacrifice AA for the excellent lighting and interactivity with objects (judging by the pop can thing). Graphics of the year, I don't think so since most people ignore lighting unless it's nonexistent or everything else matches up to it. Not that the models or textures are bad, but people always notice AA, mainly the lack of AA.

Now, I agree that I want to play the game and I've been half-heartedly been following the game. But, Isn't an Ico comparison a little much. This looks to be pretty standard RPG stuff, while Ico can make people cry and convey such strong emotions with nary a word said.
-
Yup, that all sounds fine. Vista is much nicer too when you have more than 1GB, I've had my 2GB stick fail on me before,and boy does everything slow down.
-
Different sizes are fine. Anytime you see a laptop advertised with 3GB of RAM they have a 1GB and a 2GB. Sometimes, but it's rarer, They'll do 512 512 and two 1GB sticks if there are 4 slots.

I was a bit bored and threw in one of the NIN Closure tapes lying about. Their early concerts are pretty damn insane compared to now. Especially when he starts breaking stuff, possibly while other band members are still trying to play on whatever he's breaking. Also been listening to metric a bit lately.
