  1. Re:20 dollars? try 12.99 retail on Review of Episodic Content, Half-Life 2 Episode One · · Score: 1

    I am just going to buy the package of all episodes when the time comes.

  2. Name of the song? on Bellagio Fountains Recreated with Mentos and Coke · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone know what the name of the song and who made it? I like it.

  3. Re:Custom install? on Tom's Overly Detailed Vista Review · · Score: 1

    zeroduck: Yeah, I know you can do uninstall but it would had been nicer to uninstall during installation/upgrades. :)

  4. Custom install? on Tom's Overly Detailed Vista Review · · Score: 1

    Does Vista have custom install? I noticed in Windows XP there isn't a custom install. I don't care about XP's games and things like that. I don't remember if 2000 and Me could do that too. I know 95 and 98 could. I want custom install!

  5. Good question. on 'Destroyed' Hard Drive Found At Flea Market · · Score: 1

    Good question. I would like to know too. I guess people could encrypt their datas before their HDDs even have problems.

  6. Re:Which HDTV card? on Review of Seagate's 750Gb Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    The last time I checked, only MythTV (Linux) and DVB Viewer (Windows) only work with this card. :(

  7. Re:Which full size ATX case best for me (disabled) on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 1

    1. Try FEAR, Call of Duty 2, HL2: Lost Coast, Oblivion, etc. My computer doesn't give smooth FPS with those games at 1152x864 with everything cranked up. WoW = old game. That doesn't count. Of course, it is smooth.

    2. Water cooling is messy. Lots of maintenance. I don't have time to keep it maintained. What happens if it leaks?

    3. Without cover would work, but my room is a dust magnet. :(

  8. Re:Which full size ATX case best for me (disabled) on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 1

    Desktop. I used to have one (IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 10 Mhz). They took too much space on my tiny desk and heavy. So, this won't work well.

  9. Re:Which full size ATX case best for me (disabled) on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 1

    Nope, which case(s) am I looking at? The exposed one without covers? That will be bad for me since my room is a dust magnet. Heh.

  10. Which HDTV card? on Review of Seagate's 750Gb Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Which HDTV card do you use? I use the Technisat Air2PC-ATSC-PCI in Windows XP Pro. SP2. Nice cheap card for ATSC. However, its software (DVB Viewer) is buggy and feature limited.

  11. Re:Which full size ATX case best for me (disabled) on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 1

    Well, the problem is that I play the newest games. :) Those processors won't work.

  12. Which full size ATX case best for me (disabled)? on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Two biggest problems with computer cases for me are that I have physical disabilitles and heat control.

    I have problems moving computers (even minitowers), and opening and closing cases, using screwdrivers (even electronic ones), removing case covers (sliding types still fail for me). Are there any out there work for me so I don't have to get someone to do it for me?

    Second, heat!! I have problems keeping my computers stable for every upgrades. My room can go aboev 85 degrees(F) in the heat wave. A/C won't do well since my room is upstair so all heat rises. I don't even overlock.

    Here's a sampler of my Web surfing temperatures:
    -Athlon 64 754 CPU (3200+) Windows XP Pro. SP2 box: 113F
    -ASUS K8V SE Deluxe (1007 firmware): 132F
    Note: Have seen CPU go up to 150F during stress like gaming in 85+F room (don't remember the peak temperatures for motherboard).

    Idled system in my Linux/Debian box:
    -MSI KT4AV-L (Socket A/Socket 462; VIA KT400A) motherboard: 151F
    -Athlon XP 2200+: 122F

    You can see my system specifications here: http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/compute rs.txt

    No, I am not getting water cooling. Too much work, and my disabilities will not work with that setup.

    I am planning to do redo my hardwarwe setups when I get my Athlon 64 x2 in autumn (much hotter than now).

    I don't care about the look of the case as long as it is not pink color. :)

    Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. :)
