Nothing good ever comes of that forum IMO. It's always one bitter argument after another and they always have an ugly ending.

I avoid the place like the plague, myself. I find your description, very apt. Timber calls it the Circular Reasoning Forum. Very few people are convinced of anything on the internet.

Thanks man, you just made my day [img]smile.gif[/img]



Well Warcraft is quite addictive I must say, just played for a few more hours. Also was working with a software engineer today and learned a few new techniques/random things which was good.

Also I have a bit of a decision to make. I have a friend who will sell me his pc , an Athlon 64, 3200, 512mb matched DDR2 ram, 160gb HDD with 16mb cache, geforce gt with upped RAM and core clocks to higher than ultra, etc. etc. with a really nice looking case, which lights up like a christmas tree in the dark with over £75 of fans etc. in it-see here and the dark version It also has good cooling (with 5 fans, yeh it is noisy but it is a gaming beast) and is OC'd.

Do I get it?

Or do I make my own budget system,

Athlon 64 3000 £100
Asus K8N-E Deluxe nForce3 (Socket 754) Motherboard (MB-065-AS) £65ish £72
Crucial Ballistix PC-3200 BL6464Z402 512MB DDR (MY-015-CR) £72.95 £72.95
Coolermaster XDreamII Cooler (Socket A) (HS-015-CM) £7.50 £7.50
OcUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - OEM (GX-010-AT) £79.95 £79.95
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 160GB 1600JB ATA-100 8MB Cache - OEM
(HD-005-WD) £47.50 £47.50
LG GCC-4521BL 52x/32x/52x/16x CD-RW/DVD Combi Drive - (Black) OEM (CD-021-LG) £26.30 £26.30
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value PCI Sound Card (SC-027-CL) £27.50 £27.50
OcUK Value Floppy Drive - Black (HD-001-OK) £6.50 £6.50
Antec SLK1650B Black Quiet Mini Tower Case - 350W SmartPower PSU (CA-023-AN) £39.71 £39.71
Subtotal £421.36
VAT £73.74
Total £495.10

which is changed to an AMD64 3000 with another mobo for about £530ish including VAT.

Tis a tough decision, maybe WC3MD will help me decide!

We just got home about 30 minutes ago from cashing my sons check. we paid our bills, and had just enough left over to pay the less important one (internet/cable) well, the guy showed up to take the box and modem [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] so I had to dig out the money to pay him ($283 with the late fees) and now we have a little money left to buy christmas for the kids, everyone else will just have to do with out but I am happy, I get to stay online now for atleast another month...

Hi all. I am enjoying the end of the weekend. Please tell me what to do or I will be forced to kill my comuter. In my Football Manager 2005 I won the La Liga in the last season. Now I am between top 5 but I get such lousy goals. Who is good goalkeeper and in defense? Please tell me. I need help. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I dunno, your friend's looks a little better to me, but I'll have Piestrider look at it. I am awaiting Dragon Age's requirements before I buy another PC.

It's as bad as you make it yourself. Usually the heated arguments come from stubborn people who refuse to realise there's another side to the same medallion.

Yeah, but we are losing valued members, there. Avoid it, I say. Who needs the grief?

Here, here.

Whereas before "serious discussions" were conducted here in Gen con, they generally had a friendlier enviroment compared to the threads present in The Current Events forum (probably because they were surrounded by other threads such as The Cafes and Spam threads etc). It seems like a "flame pit" where people can vent their frustration on one another!

Can't we all just get along?
