I'm still looking at getting a pre-built one though. I went on www.cyberpower.com and found that I can buy one close to the same that I can build one for. Is cyberpower a trusted source?

Not a terrible price, just saying because i'm not a 100% sure of my building abilities.

I just got a CyberPower computer on Friday. And I just sent it back for a full refund today.

I knew it was a risk, and it didn't pay off. You have to be very lucky to get a PC from them that works properly. If I had to guess, probably 60-70% of the computers they send out have something wrong with them.

Mine seemed to have a bad motherboard (that I think may have been installed wrong, because all the ports on the back were crooked), and a broken video card (was getting artifacts right from the get go).

I could have sent it back for repairs, but you only have a 30 day period to get your money back. If I sent it in for repairs, it was very possible I wouldn't get the PC back before the 30 days expired. And if I got stuck with a lemon, I would probably have to end up paying hundreds of dollars to ship the PC back and forth.

I wouldn't say not to order from them. You could get lucky and get a PC that works well. But I will tell you, if something is wrong with it, just return it right away, or you could end up with a PC that never works right and one that you will miss for months at a time waiting for repairs. Don't let them talk you into repairing it.

Basically ordering from them is like a 130-150 dollar risk. I say that because if it doesn't work right, you will have to spend about 80-90 dollars to ship it back and buy insurance. Plus you lose the original 60-70 dollar shipping fee. So, basically, order from them if you don't mind a 50/50 risk on losing 150 dollars.

One of my favorite genres has got to be the 3D platformer, but outside of a few gems like Galaxy and Ratchet and Clank, they are few and far between these days. The N64 had tons of these games, but so far the only one available on the Virtual Console is Mario 64. I'd love to see Rayman 2 on the VC along with any of Rare's that licensing would allow (the VC already has all three of their Donkey Kong Country games, so why not Donkey Kong 64?)

Anyone else wishing there was more three-dimensional hop-and-bopping on the VC?

who the hell makes custom playlists for a specific game?? LOLlil_soulja22

I do, jack ass.

Some games have terrible soundtracks, others don't have much music, and others have good music, but it just gets old after playing a game for dozens of hours (Oblivion for example). The point is, why would I use the same playlist over and over for different games. Music that fits Gears or Forza really doesn't fit a game like Oblivion or the Godfather.

And, while I realize that the idea of making a playlist in iTunes seems like a challenging task to a knuckle-dragging low-brow like yourself, it only takes a minute or two for the rest of us.

I've had a 360 since launch (though on my third one now), and I've never had a problem with the custom soundtrack feature. However, a few weeks ago, the 360 stopped recongnizing my iPod by it's usual name, and instead had it listed as something called "audiobooks." It was no big deal, since everything still worked normally.

However, about 4 or 5 days ago, the 360 stopped recognizing the playlists I had on my iPod. It still picks up albums and songs, but it won't recognize playlists. This is a huge problem for me, because it's a feature I use all the time, and I even have custom playlists made for individual games.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it something wrong with my 360, or maybe a problem with recent iPod updates (I tried my brother's iPod on there and it has the same problem)?

Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? :|
