check these guys out great prices and decent service beleive it or not. I have been recommending these guys around for awhile. I will warn you you might have to go out and buy some stealth fans to replace the ones they use, to quiet down the system.
Marathon was a DOOM contempary, But it had dynamic lighting, and multiple network play modes such as. Kill the man with the ball, king of the hill, rocket arena, multiple team types all years before anything like it was out on the PC. Hopefully some day this game will get the respect it deserves in pre-dateing so many features found on later PC FPS's.
So what if you can get a 3d engine running on UO... it is still the first generation of MMORPG's everyone else has improved upon the recipe. WOW is destroying EQII right now becuase they looked back at all the mistakes that everyone else made and improved, not being tied to old ways of doing things. UO is dead face it the days are numbered. But assuming they have 100,000 people on line at 5 dollars a month that is half a million dollars a month... I think UO may be around longer then you think it will, it is still profitable for them to keep it up even if they no longer truly support it.
First you where looking for good quality peripharals... You seem to have the small form factor case down. I am a littel leary of the Nanode, since the specs are a little vague and it runs on a VIA cpu.
Today most computer parts are no longer beige, it seems that build quality has gone down. Mitsuko which is generally considred low end becuase of the price, but they make a good keyboard available in a variety of colors, and for mice Alienware has all the microsoft high end mice in custom colors. You pay a little bit for it but they match the mitsuko keyboards in color.
As for cases most cases look like cheap plastic junk now. I've been using a server size chenming that is similar to the original alienware. Not flashy not cheap looking, but has the size I need to run all my drives, as well as clean lines.
Another option is just to check out www.newegg.com and see what is offered they have a large selection, with pictures of every item, as well as a good search engine, and search engine interface.

It's BS like this that will keep me from ever buying an Xbox. I refuse to give people who act this way and lobby for such bogus copyright laws a single nickel. M$ and E$A, this means you. They make Sony and others look good.
Are you on crack have you seen what sony has done to stop PS2 mods? or PS1 mods...

I tend to like teh reviews at gamespy, they seem to be fairly unbiased, and truthfull outside of marketing hype. At least in teh past, they got bought by IGN and the reviews are starting to look more like IGN hype drivel.
Gamespy as far as I know was the only reviewer that said wait Halo is great but here are the problems. While everyone else was trying to clean the sticky stuff off of thier hands, while gushing that it was the best game ever.
Gamespy also waits at least a week to review MMORPG's to give a more fair unbaised look at the game. Very rarely do I disagree with them. Sure sometimes I question a reviewer who complains about the online component being missing (HL2 reviews anyone) but just read with a critical eye... just my opinion...
I smell vapor ware.. the site was first created in June 2003... The entire trailer was rendered... The website makes no reference to platform. And they appear to be making a film also at the same time.
http://digi-guys.com/ is the parent site, and it is even more sketchy. The appear to be a 3d animation firm, that has not done any work, but they seem to have alot of toys and are very well funded judgeing from there gallery and facilities page. I will give them this though, they have some talented modelers and animatators working for them.
Verdict not an x-box2 game. All the above info that doesn't state platform, and the fact that according to what was leaked about the next gen x-box how can you be developeing for the x-box2 when the specs are not even hammered down yet
Your also forgetting, that this is the guy that creates all windows sounds... If the guy in charge is on a hacked copy, what about all the people that work for him. It also appears that microsoft may not have an internal policy to amke sure that pirate software is not resident on there machines. This could end up being very vrey embaressing for MS.
Hmm you think maybe they just registered it so no one else could use it? Look at all teh things they do own. gogle.com, goooogle.com , gmail. It could be premptive, since tucows seems to own everything else. gmusic.com gwatch.com etc.
In a side note Infinium, just annouced that using there new "transparent" technology on the Phantom, they will be fully combatible with all video game platforms ever produced, and the technology that they are using will make it compatible with everything released or planned over the next 2 to 3 years.
Related news:
The President of Infinium just claimed to have walked on water, and the CEO parted the Red Sea. No word on the miracles that the Head QA guy is planning, although stigmata looks to be in the cards.
Call me dumb, but how is this different then what OPEC does? A small group of people set prices on what everyone pays for a commidity. After which they make a huge amount of money.
It is also kinda odd that apple corps never got pissed at the Blue Meanies references that abound in the early mac os's (option click about in the graphics control panel among other places.) Since Blue Meanies is a SGT Pepper Refernce
Man CZ owners should have gotten it first...or at least at the same time. We payed how much for CZ and got very little change, and what changes we got are moot with the release of source... I'm not complaining, but how does this really help cybercafe owners? The installed base of CZ is not huge, but you would think you would want as many people out there playing source as soon as possible to prevent a dearth of serves...
The first book was excellent. An accessable cyber-punk with great film nior undertones. Much more accessable then Gibson. The second book looses the great film nior feel, and the authors lack of being able to describe fast paced events comes back a little worse. Over all a great sophmore effort. The first book was better, hopefully he can find his voice again and tell us more about the man known as Kovacks
It seems a little pre-emptive for Sony to make this decision right now. Currently the next optical media standard is in flux. The 2 competing formats are Blu-ray Disc (BD) and High Def-DVD (HD.) This may be just a marketing ploy as the 2 standards are competing. They both offer pros and cons, and are very similar. They are currently not compatible, and need to be manafactured using completely different processes. Both formats are also striving ot be able to read existing DVDs to provide backwards compatiblity. Also both formats should in theory share the same form factor as current DVD's
HD
15gb
Less prone to read errors due to scratches
HD can be made on the same type of equipment as DVD with minor modifications
Copy protection built into standard
BD
23gb
In theory faster read/writes 36mbps
May need a caddy or hard coating
So it looks like cost vs size is the problem. Currently both groups are working together, but neither standard is final in any means. If you look at who is backing both formats.

I think that sony is just throwing it out considering the standard is not set, a a marketing ploy trying to help their supported standard have more legitimacy. Remeber that DVD was a combo of the Sony-Philips MMCD and the Time-Warner Toshiba SD. Hopefully a beta-VCR or dueling 56k standard problem will not happen this time around.
Well I think counter-strike after 4 plus years is still the highest played online game in the world should definately be on this list. DiabloII also close to 4 years old is still very highly played. Starcraft close to 6 years now is the biggest game in Korea, so popular that tournaments are televised.
Games for which stats are not available. Supermario Bros the oringinal NES game is still alot of fun to play. And back to the atari 2600 days Combat is still alot of fun to play with a friend with all the different styles of play available by just changing some simple rules.
Judgeing from all the internet talk you would think that Duke Nuke em forever is a hugely popular game over the past 4 years
