Applying the paste properly in a thin, even layer is going to make more of a difference than the specific paste you use. Unless you're doing some sort of ridiculous overclocking, even the cheapest variety of Arctic Silver is going to be fine.

Good luck,

Next step - Buy expensive tube amp

Next step 2 - buy Dave Brubeck Quartet CDs/vinyls

Next step 3 - Orgasm as you listen to heavenly music

Optional step - Buy yourself some cheap wine from Trader Joe's

Am I doin' it right!?

Get a pair of refurbished Sennheiser HD555s, a Rolls Pro amp, and a Zalman clip-on mic. All found on amazon.

I'd tell you in-depth why GAMING headsets suck big time and are vastly inferior to a pair of headphones from a reputable company, but its been explained so many times here that you can just go to any other thread about headphones and get the exact same answer.

When voting up/down a comment in a news story or similar section of GS I am sometimes getting the following error after clicking my intended vote:

{"error_message":"I didn't recieve a proper request. Please ensure javascript is enabled on your browser to submit a rating"}

This is the only thing that appears on an otherwise blank web page. If I click "back" the page returns without my vote submitted. About 50% of the time I get the error, the remaining time it submits without issue; very odd.

Firefox 4 with NoScript (everything allowed at Gamespot) in Windows XP, though I was getting the error in Firefox 3.6, as well.

Thank you,

the TV in our living room (no joke) weighed about ~300kg. It was a Sony and it took 6 men to carry it into our house. I was only a child but that TV was many, many times wider and tall than my self.

And remember it was a HUGE Sony CRT. (possibly 50+ inches?) I know that a tiny 34" can be 100kg... meaning a 60+ incher could easily weigh 400.Mozelleple112

Your father definitely has great taste. E3 has - or it used to, anyway - a section on the other side of Vegas just for Audiophiles from small companies; all hand-crafted stuff for wealthy buyers. It was all quite impressive, with solid tin leads and beautiful wood finish on gigantic speakers with horn-loaded tweeters. They'd be playing some jazz from a high-end record player. I can't remember all the names because there were a lot of very small companies, but Bryston sounds right.

Us mere mortals with budgets have to stick with mid-range commercial products, but I would have loved to hear your father's setup. The best I can probably hope for is to eventually build something myself with pieces from Parts Express. :lol:

One thing to consider when using a modular PSU is that you are only using the cables you need. The drawback is that when you go to upgrade you need to find the cables you didn't use in the original build. If you're meticulous about storing your PC parts, you're fine, and a modular PSU is nice due to its minimalism. If you're messy and lose things a lot, you might want to consider just using a traditional PSU.

Just some food for thought.

It reminds me of this girl I dated awhile back in college. She was hot on the outside, but man, was she ugly on the inside.

I'm just kidding; looks like he's still testing. Given the amount of work he's obviously putting into the thing, I'll be it's one amazing looking rig once it's finished.

Thanks for sharing!

I have been having great difficulty getting the underline function to work in blog posts, comments, and forum posts. I have been having this issue in Firefox 3.x and now 4.0, but have not yet tested in Internet Explorer. I suspected the WYSIWYG, but even HTML code does not seem to work.

Please advise at your convenience.

Happy gaming,

Stop detracting from the thread and advertising random stuff.

Thanks for further confusing me with the download info.

Im getting the battlechest.

Hopefully I won't have to download much. I know it's a big game. The disc should cover a bit.

So many posts, yet my answer isnt 100% answerred. You guys...

Not only were your questions answered, but you could answer these questions yourself without posting in the forums with a little research. Installation requirements are clearly provided by publishers of both games on their respective sites. Reviews are easily available for both games right here on Gamespot.

You are being very ungrateful considering the number of people that responded to this question. Certainly users are always going to respond with random suggestions; in this case they're not really off-topic, they're just MMO titles you might want to consider. Personally I'd be happy if someone made a suggestion for a title of which I might not have potentially heard already.

Happy gaming,

Boz
