    I'm a little confused when it comes to all this region encoding crap.

     

    I'm just wondering if I did move to the UK ever (region 2 correct?) Would it;

     

    A. Be smarter to just sell my NTSC 360 and buy a PAL 360?

     

    or

     

    B. Keep my NTSC 360 and import games (before they come out in Europe ie. Rock Band :p)

     

    If option A would be better, would either an NTSC hard drive or memory card work with a PAL console?

     

    And a question for option B. If my NTSC 360 breaks in the UK would MS fix it even if it NTSC?

     

    Thanks!

    Healthiest way to lose weight: Don't eat and throw up:heh:

     

    Nah but I've lost a good amount of weight from doing the following:

     

    I gave up meat, soda, and ALL sweets.

    I eat a nice big breakfast, some water and fruit for lunch, and no dinner.

    Alright well I made some changes, because I really don't need that fast of things. And I decided that I will be keeping my current mobo and cpu.

     

    So here are the new specs, and most likely the final.

    I decided in the end to get a BFG 8800GT 512mb. And I'm going to watercool the CPU and GPU. I went against getting an ATI 3850 because my mobo only supports SLI and not Crossfire. And someday I'll be sticking another 8800GT in there. oh and Choze I thought about the Antec case, but it has to many fans:heh: and this one is way cheaper.

     

    So what do you guys think? And thanks everybody for the help!

    Thanks babe

     

     

    Cool site, I may order some soundproofing material off there.

     

    PSU: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=315205

    MB: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=329099

    CPU Cooler: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=330008 (while there is a fan pictured, it can safely run without it, I used my FX-60 (quite hot) with just the heatsink at a max of 50C with load, the fan isn't very loud anyway)

    Graphics card: http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?id=18618 (The best silent card around at the moment.)

    Hard drive: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=327715 (while i have selected the quietest hard drive, you might still hear it, you can buy holders for hard drives which spread heat around and reduce vibrations if it's too much to bare.)

     

    The rest of the options are silent or inevitably noisy (the dvd drive). I should note that all this fanless stuff will leave your pc running quite hot, so it would be a good idea to stuff 1 or 2 120mm fans in there which should keep it cool and almost inaudible.

     

    Oh, also this is a more non fuss solution, if you want to overclock and shit then you'll need to invest in water cooling.

     

    Thats the current mobo I have now, but I want to get some DDR3 RAM so new mobo. I think for the CPU I may watercool it, Thermaltake has a pretty cheap watercooling system that looks good. And I couldn't find that graphic card anywhere for the US.:( But I will keep looking for it, because thats exactly what I've been looking. And I'm not sure if the PSU will support the specs or not, although it would sure be nice to have...

    CPU Water Cooling

    Case

    Is this the same hard drive? Had trouble finding it in the US. If it is then I'll be ordering 4 of those. I'm not really sure how Raid works but if (can) I put all 4 of 'em in Raid 0 that makes them faster right? haha

     

    XD, you could make your PC fly for that amount of money.

     

    Hopefully:awesome:

    I'm still not entirely sure what I'm going to be doing for my next PC but one thing for sure that if I decided to do another custom build I want it to be dead silent and 'invisible'. Meaning no LEDS or lights or whatever on the outside.

     

    My goal: Not be able to tell if the computer is on or off.

     

    So if you guys could reccomend a case, cooling system, and whatever else I need to have a silent 'invisible' PC.

     

    Budget $400 at the very most, but I would prefer less...

    So I am thinking of picking up Planet Earth in HD.

     

    I have both a PS3 and the 360 HD DVD Drive. Now should I pick it up on HD DVD or Blu-Ray? Please back up your answer with good, solid facts.

     

    Atm I'm thinking HD DVD, because in the 10 or so movies I've watched HD DVD audio > Blu-Ray audio.
