Good advice. I'll repost this in the trading thread as well. Thanks for the tip!

...and I promise to scratch yours! Hi all CAGers, I desperately need your help! I live in Hong Kong and as such I cannot purchase The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena from the Direct2Drive 5-year anniversary sale because that game is not available for sale in this region. (And come on, if you...

From my understanding, D2D states whether a game comes with DRM, and if so, which system. That information is normally at the bottom of the game description page. For instance, if you look at the Max Payne 2 offer, it mentions Securom. For The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena, there is no...

I want to buy a slot in a game server for L4D, TF2 and the like. Nothing too fancy, just decent enough to run a game with a few friends. The thing is, the only services I can find with Google are located in the US or Europe, and I live in Asia, so the lag would be too much if I signed up for a...

Check out Oriental 188 (directions can be found in this thread) - plenty of second-hand / old games for sale on the first floor. I haven't seen those games, but if you are after out-of-print stuff it's worth a look.

Assuming your fan is damaged, you can search eBay for the replacement fan you need. I have an IBM Thinkpad T41 with a Radeon X300 and the fan died on me. I had to disassemble the notebook to see whether the fan was the short or long version, and from there just place the order. You (or your...

At the very least tell us what you need the computer for - do you want something for basic web surfing / spreadsheet / word processing, do you want to do real-time HD video editing, or do you want to play Crysis? Also, what is your budget? There are different price points you can target...

Believe it or not, those exact same places for games are your best bets for mobile / PDA deals. Shamshuipo has its famous "Apliu Street" which is chock-full of second-hand / pawned goods, and Oriental 188 sells its fair share of second-hand electronics, DVDs and Blu-rays. When I moved to Hong...

I might be missing something, but what is wrong with Amazon Japan? http://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?__mk_ja_JP=%83J%83%5E%83J%83i&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=guitar+hero&x=0&y=0

rudeboie, you can also try the Wanchai Computer Center (anyone and everyone knows it in Hong Kong - it's even in Wikipedia). It's pretty close to the Oriental 188 shopping mall that flyworld3 mentioned, about 5-10 minutes away by foot. There are three main game shops there that sell games and...

You may want to try placing another graphics card (or running with the mainboard's integrated graphics if it has one) in to see if you are having the same problem. A second monitor is not a bad idea to try. I have had problems with ATI and Nvidia sending out-of-frequency signals or not even...
