Yeah, the massive price gap really isn't there anymore, so theres not much point in sacrificing a lot of performance for a little money in most cases. Back around 08 or so when i7 processors first hit the market, I built a PC for a friend with a top of the line i7 processor(920 maybe?) and it...

The problem with AMD is that they are significantly inferior for gaming, and there isn't an insane price difference between AMD and Intel. Now, if your average intel i5 3570K was like $500 or something, then AMD would be a viable option based on the money difference, the performance hit might...

Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

Also: cheap shot on Clowney away from the play

Was anyone else greatly underwhelmed with Clowney last night? Guy was on the sidelines about 1/3 of the night, his conditioning looked horrible. He completely sat out the defensive series in the first half when NC marched down the field and got a TD. I understand getting a breather for a play...

This. The only way that AMD would ever make sense in a build is if you do almost zero gaming.

Yep. I was our guild leader, raid leader, and a warrior. Thunderfury was all mine. We got 6 shards of 1 side and none of the other in our months and months and months in MC. FUUUUUUUUUU We were cursed on legendaries, and never saw any warglaives drop either

That's a great idea, but my kitchen cabinets go to the ceiling for more storage space... #firstworldproblems

Something like this would work well: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/pr...o/displayport/ http://www.amazon.com/Matrox-D2G-DP2...2Go+DP+Edition

You looking for a setup that will power 2 external monitors, or just 1 external + the laptops built-in screen?

I'd still probably go with that Ebay one, you're getting a ~$100 video card + 1TB hard drive + operating system, and it's actually the same price or cheaper than the others, with the rest of the hardware being pretty comparable. If nothing else, get it for the basically free video card(compared...

Here is the entirety of his talk about "what he learned about the NCAA"

Here's the lowdown on DQ, there are generally 2 types. The stand-alone DQ that serves a full food menu + ice cream. You are good to go here with hamburgers, onion rings etc. The flamethrower burger + onion rings is my meal of choice. There are also mini-DQs that only serve ice cream +...

My personal favorite weapons of all time were Swiftwind & Earthcaller Really enjoyed having both, because a lot of Rangers back in the day pussed out and only got the easier Swiftwind. I wasn't the 1st, but I was probably one of the first 5 on my server with an Earthcaller. Just a great...

I don't think I've paid full price for a version of Windows since Windows 3.1. Anyone who is a student, or even works for a school/university can get cheap Microsoft products, and everyone knows somebody that is either in school, or works at a school(or at least has access to a .edu email...

If you are seriously not going to do hardly any gaming at all, just snag that one off of Ebay, it already has a small HD and video card in it that is definitely fine for playing 1080p video. Those barebones novatech systems are fine as well, but I feel like you are overpaying on those...

Yeah, if you have a Microcenter near you, you could get a i5 3570K + motherboard for about the same price as the processor/motherboard in that build. Also, be on the lookout for deals on AMD 7870s. There were a few posted in the last week in this thread of 3GB 7870s on sale for like $185 or...

I can not make a home made pizza Few months ago, attempt #1: Bought awesome looking garlic herb pizza dough at trader joes. Contemplated how to use pizza stone, since it has to be heated up first. Decided to build pizza on a cookie sheet that had no sides, so I could slide it off onto hot...

DQ onion rings are easily the best fast food onion ring. Super crispy and the onion doesnt all slide out with the first bite like a lot of rings do.

I do love seafood, but I'm also perfectly happy living in the beef & BBQ capitol of the world. Even fresh ground beef is awesome, it's nice knowing people that raise cattle. Every year when we buy half a cow, it's almost better than Christmas. Fresh ground beef & steaks for about $2-$3 a...

Heck, if you're going to list River City Ransom, my favorite weapon was just using another person as a weapon. Pick them up and use them as a club to beat other people, or read the Javelin book and throw a person like a spear into other people.

Still pissed me off. I had recently bought a Soundblaster Pro(or more accurately, begged my parents for one) just for Ultima 7, so I could get the voices in the cutscenes.

Unless something has changed drastically that im unaware of, T1 kinda sucks nowadays. It was great 15 years ago compared to dialup, but T1 is like 1.5mbps. Even DSL is significantly faster than that. Now, a T3 line would still be pretty damn nice, I think they are up around 50mbps or so

You cant tell me you dont miss having to make a unique boot disk for each game you own, each with a slightly different config.sys and autoexec.bat file. Kids nowadays dont have to make decisions like do they want sound, or do they want to use a mouse, because you dont have enough free memory...

When I went to buy a new phone a couple months ago I was 100% set on an HTC One after reading all the reviews, however once I got in the store and used/viewed both side by side, I preferred the screen on the S4 to the HTC One. I'd highly recommend going to a store and looking at both before...

Nice, I'll start there. I wasn't even sure where to start googling for info. Thanks!

I've used Dropbox, Google Drive, and other cloud storage services at various times over the past few years, which got me to thinking... Is there any sort of guide, or even software out there that would step a person through how to use their own personal PC as a "cloud" server for storing...

A lot of older games with "randomly generated" areas were pretty bad about this. Makes me specifically think about Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. The vast majority of the dungeons and towns were randomly generated, yet there were very few basic pieces that were randomly pieced together, so most...

The ultimate test of skill: If you could hit a rabbit while hunting in Oregon Trail, you could accomplish anything in any game. One of the harder things to do in any game ever.

TMI but...I don't know what it is about DQ ice cream, but it gives me horrible shits. I have no problems with ice cream from Sonic, Culvers, Baskin Robbins, Cold Stone, or anywhere else. But man, when I'm in the mood for a peanut buster parfait or a cookie dough blizzard, I pay for it a few...

Nope, it was the remote for the cable box either way.

He's just cultivating mass

I don't doubt it, most women are very technology oblivious. A couple Christmases ago I bought a new Samsung HDTV for our living room(replaced a standard-def tube TV). I hooked it up late Christmas eve after my wife went to bed. We got up on Christmas Day, exchanged gifts, and she proceeded to...

TWC is pretty underhanded. In my area(not sure if nation-wide or not) last year they basically doubled all internet speeds. People with 5mbps now got 10 for the same price, my 25mbps that I paid $59 a month for got bumped up to 50mbps for the same price. Well, last month I get a call from...

We all kind of assumed this I think, but good news nonetheless Confirmed: ChromeCast will be able to play local content http://www.muktware.com/5860/confirm...nd-order-yours

This show is True Blood-level dumb now. Really wish they would have called it quits after the Trinity/Lithgow season, if they had this show would be mentioned in the same class as Breaking Bad, or The Wire. It's fallen very, very far from that point now.

Most of the KFCs around here a re combos with taco bell. There is also 1 glorious kentacohut, a kfc/taco bell/pizza hut. Can get a nachos supreme with biscuits and breadsticks. Score.

I use my 10" tablet for most of my web browsing. I'm not sure why, but when I'm web browsing I don't feel like I need the thing as close to my face as I do when I'm reading an ebook, so I don't feel the need to hold it up close, I'm perfectly fine sitting the tablet on my lap, or on a table...

The XBox 360(and the small/2nd gen XBOX controller) are easily the best console controllers ever made. The Sony Dual-Shock controllers feel like they are cheaper or made for kids or something, but they've just never been as comfortable as the 360 controller. I hope they made some small...
