    Building a new PC, need suggestions

    I suggest taking a look at either the Corsair 450VX or the Antec EA500 Power Supplies they are also 80 plus certified and are re-badged Seasonic Power Supplies. Both my suggestions are really well reviewed. I bought the Corsair and couldn't be more pleased with my choice. Whatever you decide...

    Diablo III / Diablo II Battle.net Thread

    Not being a fan of Blizzard, I wasn't expecting much from the game play trailer. Sometimes it's nice to be wrong. That was very damn cool. I owned Diablo briefly before I got bored with it and returned it. I skipped D2 to play Baldur's Gate. Since I love Titan's Quest, D2 fanbois in forums are...

    Thinking of buying Titan Quest Gold -- opinions?

    I loved Titan Quest and Immortal Throne. It is a fantastic action RPG. I spent more time with TQ and IT than any other game in the last 15 months. The ability to combine two different professions makes it very flexible and fun. The 8 Melee, Magic and Ranged specialties can be mixed and matched...

    To build or not to build

    Make sure you buy a good quality power supply, if you going to build your own. Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling are some of the brands recommended to me. I bought a Corsair VX 450 and I'm running about the same components.

    Who else is fed up with Vista?

    I just finished my new build on Friday. So I have only had Vista 64 for a short time. I have run into a few problems, but for the most part I like what I have seen of Vista. I tried installing an old game War! Age of Imperialism and that failed yesterday. Today with a little help from customer...

    Which direction to go in? (Upgrade)

    I recommend reading the reviews of the 8800 GT, if you can afford $250-$300 price tag. It's the best bang for the buck Nvidia card at the moment.

    GoGamer's 48 Hour Madness with ~$2 PC games

    Aren't Crusader Kings and EU both real-time? When I was researching Crusader Kings at OO and QtT most people were saying real-time. I ended up paying more for shipping than for the game. Nice find.

    Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

    This game had a strange release. I preordered it from Amazon on January 31st. On release date, March 20th, Amazon said they wouldn't have Puzzle Quest until the 29th. And then it shipped yesterday. Still Amazon sucks because I won't receive it now until at least Monday. Maybe they didn't make a...

Since it's a UK site I don't know what that means for North America. I am looking forward to Panzer...

    The Diddy Kong Racing DS thread

    I preordered this from Amazon for $29.99. Since I have only been following DS software for about 2 months, what is the chance that Diddy Kong Racing makes it Feb. 5th release date? Thanks.

    Good Gaming PC for 1K?

    Here's a place to start. http://www.techspot.com/article/34-core2duo-gaming-under-1000/ I agree about waiting for DX10, but be advised DX10 cards will take a while to filter down to sub $200 which is the budget in the above $1,000 PC. ATI's DX10 card will not even be released until Jan. 22...
