The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy
SlappingOysters writes "Gameplayer has gone live with their best PC hardware configurations for Q3 2008. They've broken it into three tiers depending on the investor's budget. And while the prices are regional, it is comparative across the globe. 'In order to play these slices of gaming goodness, you're going to need a decent rig, and we sent our PC hardware guru in search of maximum frames in maximum detail, but at a minimum cost. We have three tiers for the three levels of PC gamers out there and all the detail you could possibly want on where, why and what to buy. So choose your poison and get amongst it.'"
What kind of telnet programs do they come with for mudding?
and i just closed the newegg tab...
looks like ramen again this month
Good people go to bed earlier.
I bought a new computer, so I love to brag about the deal I got.
e8500, 4gb ddr2 1066, p5q-3, 4870, freezer 7 pro, rosewill case, 250 gb hd = $1050
had vista64 for free
plays crysis at high "near 60 fps" and everything else to the max
no microstuttering
me = happy
tuxracer runs just fine on my $200 linux machine.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Yes, an investment in planned obsolescence.
Don't forget, you're talking about the same kind of people who will spend months clacking away on a fake guitar with the goal of making a digital crowd cheer when they could be practicing with a REAL guitar, get REAL cheers and likely get laid for REAL too.
Holy shit, I'm buying a guitar right fucking now!
They should come up with a set of configurations for the best /.-proof PC servers for 2008 as well.
And yet...here you are posting about it on Slashdot.
I'll second what Turgid said. Guitar = Chick Magnet.
I was at a Sam Goody store which happened to have a Guitar Hero game set up. It also had a guitar / amp package they were selling set up. Crappy guitar, worse amp... but whatever.
Some dork was trying to play Guitar Hero and impress 3 girls. Song: Bark at the Moon.
So I pick up the real guitar, and start playing Bark at the Moon on the real guitar.
You've never seen three heads whip around like that. Poor guy. I got all his attention.
That's only beacuse he didn't buy a REAL guitar/
and all he can play is Come as you are
Real rock stars are not on Slashdot/
Playing a bass makes a guitar player not.
maybe you should mount your wife's box more often?
Her box is way too huge, and you can tell that lots of things have been taken in and lots of things pulled out that it looks a little bruised. Plus, it just looks too old, and it's always making noises. You learn to ignore it. These days MicroATX boxes are the thing; smaller, tighter, and they're portable - so it doesn't matter where you go, you can always bring along the box to play with.
You can make a bloody mess if you try to stick your peripheral in that kind of box when it just doesn't fit.
yes, nawcom knows he is twisted and sick.

Getting diabetes AND salmonella would be a bad weekend.
Don't forget, you're talking about the same kind of people who will spend months clacking away on a fake guitar with the goal of making a digital crowd cheer when they could be practicing with a REAL guitar, get REAL cheers and likely get laid for REAL too.
Funny you should mention that, they're working on Masturbation Hero. You'll get a load out of the controller for that game.

The funny thing is, you could have made all your numbers and names up and those of us who don't care as much would know the difference.
Are hard drives down to 1GB per dollar yet? I remember when they hit 1MB per dollar, and it was a big deal at the time. I had an onion tied to my belt...
guaranteed to decrease in value over time
True and stated: Whenever you buy a computer C at time t0, there's a time t1 > t0 such that val(t0, C) < val(t1, C).
Possible and not stated: there is a time t2 >> t1, such that val(t2, C) > val(t0, C), due to num(t2, C) << num(t0, C).
That is, your old Amiga 500 might become a collectors item some day :)
I can play most of Neil Young's Heart of Gold on real guitar.
That's the kind of risk you take when you decide to learn to play guitar.
Advice: on VPS providers
Web Server System
CPU: Intel Pentium MMX 200Mhz (got from grandma when we bought her a new system for christmas last year)
RAM: 128 MB EDO (paid way too much on ebay but motherboard requires it)
Motherboard: dunno, but has phoenix bios
GPU: Trident S3 Trio 8MB PCI (found in dumpster)
OS: Windows ME (pirated)
Server: PWS
Optical Drive: None
Storage: 8GB WDC (found on side of road, 70% blocks are good)
Right, but it is $10K US, so not nearly as much as it sounds.
We willna be fooled again!
In my experience (bass player), girls go in this order - singer, lead guitar, drums, backup guitar, keyboards, triangle, roadie, drunk passed out fan, then bassist. Of course, hideous disfigurations can alter this order.
Be Excellent To Each Other
Apparently, it's worth twice as much with a full tank as with an empty one.
We have three tiers for the three levels of PC gamers out there
From the prices I assume those levels are "lives in own property", "lives with parents", and "purely hypothetical".
No kidding!!! What do you say at this point?
Gas prices are not yet to the point where a full 8 gallon tank is $2000, which would make the car's value $4000.
This space unintentionally left blank.
Your mum does not count as "lots", get back in the basement !
