Woot I have Assassins Creed 3! -drool- Will be picking up Arma2 on sale so I can play Warz (already have operation arrowhead)

A gun is a tool. A spear is a tool. A hammer is a tool. A wire is a tool. You can kill with all four. Lets ban them all. Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Banning guns will not...

You can hold on to CD keys as long as you want without activating them. The same keys (not your exact keys) are offered via retail stores and they could sit on shelves for months or years.

Played Halo 1 on PC and Halo 2 also on PC but nothing since.

Just won a copy of Torchlight 1 and been playing that. Enjoying it.

Gave up on playing Planetside 2 for now. MY CPU cannot handle...

3-4 year old PSU. Cooler MAster, about 500W. It happens, but it sucks when it does :P

It's a Facebook giveaway through woobox. I've entered a lot of contests like these but never win anything. Never can get anyone to enter either >.<

Check it...

ANNND I'm back. Best Buy had a decent sale for a Thermaltake 600W for $52. Picked that up, installed yesterday. Turns out also that when the PSU bit the dust, something was writing on my hard...

loved metro 2033 even though it got really weird near the end. Looking forward to last light.

Never really got into FC1, FC2 I played through and enjoyed the open world but it did get repetitive. Will be trying Far Cry 3 soon hopefully.

Still playing Planetside 2, picking up Secret World...

Swear I heard about this almost a week ago? Dunno, my days run together anymore.

I played a few months of Secret World. Really enjoyed the game though the PVP was lacking. Really awesome story and team play aspects. I will be jumping back into this one once I get my computer...

The only thing I am overly careful with is the CPU. Those pins bend EASILY and are a pain to fix.

Welcome back Scott! I'm down now :( PSU went splat.

Lol cut the wires and it IS a good door stop isnt it?

yeah i did that. thats a good pic reference though :D

Well the PSU isnt jumping so it looks like that is the problem. I hear like a hiss from it when I try to but no power. Guess I need to find a heavily discounted psu.

Ugh I cant afford computer issues now. Car is down and wife keeps spending money on Christmas crap.

I do have my last board and equipment before this FM1 board. Was probably going to end up switching it out to see if it was the mobo or cpu.

Sadly no, my last psu was before you needed a cpu or gpu power plug

Nope. just have the processor, ram, psu, plugged in. still same thing.

Computer was folding last night when I went to bed. Wasn't too hot, running fine. This morning it is off and will not start back up. Hit the power button and the leds light up, but shut right back...

I was just thinking that didn't last very long.

Those speakers would have been awesome to have. Congratz!

Couldn't help it. Picked it up.

The world ending theory reminds me of the Y2K scare. Just a load of crap :)

Congratz Joshua!

I loved planetside , and 2 is fun however my CPU cant handle the load of a medium/large battle.

I know right? haha. The joys of marriage :) that's why I just tell everybody to get me gift cards, cash or checks. Can put it towards something I am saving up for or tying to buy.

Pretty sure someone is getting AC3 for Christmas, so wife wont let me get it atm. Picked up Planetside 2 (f2p woot!), DOTA2 (friend gave me a key) and won a copy of Zombie Driver

I've always had AMD cpu's and Nvidia cards. As far as everything else, I am not overly picky.

Congratz to all of the current winners! My turn :D

I keep gdtting hawken beta invites, just havent bothered to install it. havent had the time Can't wait for hitman and ac3.

This Holiday season, I’d really love to win a prize from Diamond Multimedia, because I really need some new gear!

maybe this will help my 460gtx some. hopefully.

Edited for typing fail

Would be nick if the giveaway lightning would strike me a few times. :P

I've played WoT for awhile. Certainly is fun. I got into other games so WoT took a back burner and got uninstalled. may need to get it again :)

Pretty sure 98box is either a computer with win98 on it or an emulator.

Fairly sure that the wife will be getting be a tablet for christmas.

It can be. I recommend starting with Dead Space 1 then playing 2 for the story to make more sense.

That's no good :(

Glad there are more gamers on here.

Been playing at several games myself.

Dead Space 2..trying to finsih it. Esentially, you are a space ship engineer that destroyed an artifcat that was...

I really dont remember why i didnt like it. has been awhile. might have been what PP mguire said, too easy with all the tools

Yeah i dont post a whole lot ymself but I am trying to post more :D

I enjoy action games like this, but crysis 2 just wasnt very fun for me for some reason.

Congratz winners!

I actually already own this. Got it free :)

I've tried Chrome for a few months and decided to get rid of it. Alot of websites are not compatible with it and say out right that chrome is not supported. Weird things happen on some sites and...

I've heard from a few people that Torchlight II is more enjoyable than Diablo3. I want to get the first one before I try 2 though.

Think I may start folding again for the fall/winter since the AC wont need to be used and furnace is gas powered.

Good luck everybody, and hello to all of the new folks. I hope you stay around longer than the contest runs. We need some new blood around here :)

On an ADSL connection. It is probably my connection. Not the most reliable at times.

I'm alive...i think. been a bust few months for me and the site is really slow loading for me for some reason.

Well, certainly no way I'll reach top 10 anytime soon, so good luck everyone :)

Finally turned my AC on here. Had an extra slot cooler next to my GPU, but removed it. Think it was shorting out. PC kept failing to power up.Now GPU runs about 5C cooler at full load while...

I may end up modifying the netgear to work as an AP rather than its own router. It's nice having it wired in there, however it would be nice to access the NAS I have setup in there to stream media...

I'm going to cry. After removing Scott and tesla I will be in 11th place at this rate. Someone above me needs to hiccup a bit until June :P Fire up the PS3!

I like the routers these days. So, I ordered 50ft of cat7 from newegg. just enough to run the wiring under the house. had an idea. plugged one end into a lan port on the dlink and other end into...

If I plug in the netgear in the living room this way, from lan on dlink to netgear, will the netgear be capable of wireless and wired?

Didn't know 7 was already available. lol so behind on networking. I thought about running an already patched cable but im really trying to reduce the amount of holes in my house :P

I am thinking I will just give in and buy the cables and ends to run a cable to the netgear in the living room. Looking at about 50 foot of cable needed (over estimating as long as i dont have to...

Range issue and I have 5 devices in the living room, only two with wireless capability. The office is at one end of the house, the bedroom on the far other. Get a very weak signal down there and...

dont think what I am trying to do is possible with a dlink and a netgear. Dlink doesnt have the option to be a base and am unsure how to connect the netgear wirelessly to the dlink. Gonna browse...

Ok disabled the wifi on the Netgear DSL and plugged the dir655 from uplink to WAN and the dlink configured itself (pppoe and all). now the netgear n600 has a wireless repeater setting. I want to...

So, my previous ISP went belly up and bankrupt. What I liked with them was that I had internet access point in my living room, office and bedroom so essentially wired internet in every room without...

Yeah I cant afford the high end cards and cpu's, but I'll work with what I do have and hope for the best!

Looking at the current folding averages, I will not make top 10 most likely, but will continue to fold for now :)

BTW, folding name is Saryn

top 10 huh? Well that will be interesting. Dunno if I can make it with gpu, smp, ps3. Maybe I can get my fiances laptop in on it too :P

Been inactive to folding. Trying to keep power bill low. However, this is worth upping the powerbill a bit to try to win something :)

I was having the same problem with my 460 folding. For some reason the latest drivers are conflicting with F@H and windows power saving features. When the monitor is put to sleep by windows, nvidia...

This is an awesome project by the community at bit-tech.net. ...

Actually using EVGA Precision and OCSCanner. The card is NOT OC at this time. Nothing else is using the card other than windows and the app I am using. Using a tool to disable all background...

Yes sorry, using the newest drivers. And Max performance or adaptive yield the same results. Under full load (folding or benchmark) my temps hover just under 60C

So the board I won from here, I have it up and running, mostly fine. However, it doesn't seem to like my Nvidia 460. Not sure why. Following, is the mail I just shot to Gigabyte tech support. I...

Yes im running Win7 64-bit now. Shh was late when I posted. I cant remember everything :P With the way the control panel is setup now I couldn't easily find the Admin tools, but I remembered the...

Really any computer gear would be nice for contests. Motherboard/processor combo, GPU's, hard drives, RAM, cases. I'm up to win anything :)

So, I have my new board installed, the Gigabyte I won from the contest. Had to go with the 2-core APU for cost. When i swapped out the board and the APU and booted up, everything ran fine. Decided...

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1747857719.png

not the highest or best they offer, but works for my needs.

never owned an AMD/ATI card. The only other card worth anything I have is the EVGA 250 GTS . Two older nvidia cards, one before they needed fans for them and an old BFG i think it was. Tax time is...

Entered. Thanks for the post :)

Maybe in the near future. I cant even spare the cash for The FM1 APU to run this board I won from here. My current board only has one express slot for vid cards.

I have the EVGA 460 Overclocked listed here. (newegg link)

I can get a new MSI GT 520 at newegg (link) for about $20 with a $10 Newegg code and the $20 MIR?

Is this worth the purchase? Also,...

The video said he dropped his pen and got 'distracted' trying to pick it up. Most likely playing with his laptop (police issued of course) or his phone.

Her voice would be quite interesting for any of the tavern songs, even some of her own.

Generally, the developer of the game provides the updates for the games themselves. Their fixes will fix problems with video cards, but video card manufacturers will release driver updates to...

Added! I have BC 2 also if you ever want to play..through Steam.

Is anyone playing this on PC? Add me if you are! Saryn5408 is my Origin name.

She even made it to the Bethesda blog. What kills me also is that English isn't even her native language. She's lives in Mexico, born and...

Well hell it must have not loaded fully for me when I looked over it yesterday. Ah well, always a day late :P

Since you all seem obsessed with this arrow to the knee joke...

I wonder which UFC fighter kicked his ass.

Saw this video posted on Facebook. Left me speechless.

Try that link. Might help you figure it out better than I can atm :P

That is advanced Algebra I believe. Makes my head hurt looking at it this late. Can't recall the symbol either.

Love the look of pure terror in the female judges face the whole time. Not talent at all...that's like Jackass to the extreme. I guess if you lose a little blood you win in India's Got Talent.

So hopefully I will finally be purchasing a FM1 CPU for my new board soon. At the moment I am not sure if I want to spend the $70 for the dual core 2.7GHz APU...

Or send it my way. Since my new board is made for ATI, I could get another one later and crossfire :P Never had more than one vid card running before so that would be interesting.

Aw congratz James

Need to bump up this post since we feel the need to congratulate winners from a year ago :P
