Equipment builder - broken ?
Seems to be working fine for me right now using Firefox. Is it still not working at all for you? What browser are you using while using the equipment builder?

New Computer
Ok changed a few things around: Corsair TX650W 650W - I don't think it's modular, is there any big advantage in having one that is? Also decided to go with the 1333Mhz memory over the 1600Mhz sticks and save a bit of money. I think I'll stick with the Antec 902 as well after watching a review on it and hearing what the fans are like. Now I just need to figure out which motherboard to get and what I should do for graphics cards. I was thinking of getting just the 5770 for now and possibly a second one at a later date to crossfire them if I want some extra power. Either that or I might just spend the extra cash now and get either the 5830 or 5850. How much better would the 5830 be than the 5770 compared to the 5850? Thanks for the input so far guys.

New Computer
I've been thinking about getting a good desktop for a while now and pretty much have enough cash to buy a decent setup. Most likely I'll be getting one custom made through NCIX as I've heard good things about them and I would rather not build the computer myself. My budget is around $1200-1500, preferably on the cheaper side if possible but will be able to pay a bit extra if necessary. I want to be able to play most games on higher detail settings as well as being able to run multiple applications at once. Currently I'm looking at a setup similar to this: 1 x Intel Core i7 930 Quad Core Processor LGA1366 2.8GHZ 8MB L3 Cache 130W 45NM Retail Box 1 x Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64BIT DVD OEM 1 x Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5IN Dual Proc Hard Drive OEM 1 x D-LINK DWA-552 Xtreme N Desktop Adapter 802.11B/G/N Triple Antenna PCI Adapter 1 x LG GH22NS50 Black 22X SATA DVD Writer OEM 1 x ASUS P6T X58 ATX LGA1366 DDR3 3PCI-E16 PCI-E1 2PCI CrossFire SLI SATA2 GBLAN Motherboard 1 x Corsair XMS3 TR3X6G1600C8 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 8-8-8-24 Core i7 Memory Kit 1 x Radeon HD 5770 850MHZ 1GB GDDR5 4.8GHZ PCI-E 2XDVI HDMI Display Port 1 x Antec Nine Hundred Two Mid Tower Gamer Case 902 ATX 9 Drive Bay No PS Top USB2.0 eSATA Audio 1 x Seasonic SS-600ET 600W EPS12V 24PIN ATX Power Supply PFC 80PLUS Bronze 6PIN 8PIN PCI-E 120MM Fan OEM Cost: $1,548.41 (inc. warrenty and building) Now for some questions I have: For the processor is it worth getting the i7 model I have listed or would a cheaper i5 model be sufficient? Another option I considered would be getting the AMD Phenom II X6 3.2Ghz which is roughly the same price as the i7. For graphic cards how much better is the Radeon 5770 than the 5750? Is the extra $35 worth the upgrade? Can anyone recommend one or two good motherboards to choose between? Haven't really looked into them much so I'm not quite sure what is/isn't compatible and what would be a good choice. For the RAM how much of a difference will I see when using the 1600 sticks over the 1333 sticks? I know there's a difference in speed but is it really worth the extra money to get the 1600 ones? For the PSU I used this to get a rough estimate and it seems like 600W should be sufficient enough for me, should I be getting one that's higher? Lastly any recommendations for a good case would be great. At first I was set on the Antec one I have listed but I've read that the fans can be fairly loud and would like to look at a few other good options. Any help answering some of my questions would be appreciated, and feel free to offer any other setup ideas/criticize any bad choices I have up there. :)

So does Runescape concept art so that really doesn't mean much :lol: One can always hope. :P I wish they would release some sort of ingame screenshot so we could see how similar the graphics are to Runescape or if they are better.

21-Jul-2010 - Members-only: the Void Hunters beta!
Looks like a fun game but I have no Funorb membership so I'll have to wait until it comes out of the Beta stage. Hopefully it won't take more than a couple of weeks. :S

Does your $5 loyaly membership keep you from quiting Runescape?
My membership lapsed earlier this year when I stopped playing for a few weeks and did some other stuff. Honestly it's less than a dollar in difference, and with runescape membership so cheap compared to other games it's no big deal to me. It's a nice perk for those who don't want to take a break and keep there membership continuously active though.

Hope I get to try the Beta, even though we basically know next to nothing about the gameplay I'm excited to try it out. :) The concept art on the site looks great.

Is there any way to mark posts?
You can click "Watch Topic" at the top of the page of any topic you go to which will add it onto a list you can view on the main forum index. Not sure if that's exactly what you were looking for though.

Some more RuneScape screenshot fakes and animations/videos
[spoiler=In response to your post] From what I've noticed when we switched over to IPB, for the most part only posts made after the conversion are shown in the "show all topics/posts by user x". I remember noticing the same thing when I looked through my posts after the conversion so it's not just you that it affected. Plus the feature only shows your most recent 200 posts, but in this case that shouldn't affect you at all. ;) Either way to my knowledge there isn't any way that a Moderator could make that happen and it has nothing to do with the content of the topics but rather was just something that happened when we changed forum software. As for your other question, we do have some sort of warn system just like any other forum community would have. You can rest assure that we don't give bans lightly so breaking a minor rule occasionally won't get you a ban but rather just a reminder. :)

The New Guide to Pyramid Plunder
Did a couple of quick tests and it does seem to be about ~15min. Fixed the guide and credited you; thanks for the correction!

The New Guide to Pyramid Plunder
Yeah even getting 250k xp/hr from 99 onwards it would take at least ~748 hours to max out xp. :S Well I think because you can go to the Monastery and back (with a Sceptre). Pretty much this. In my opinion the quick teleport to recharge prayer is far more useful than an extra +6 prayer bonus. Plus the Ardougne Cloak 3 is a lot easier to obtain. :P Thanks for the positive comments guys. :)

Return to drawball?
Finished colouring the "O" that someone had drawn and did a rough outline of the "T". I honestly don't care if people vandalize it but I really wish the ones who are writing negative things about other forum members would just grow up. <.<

How do people end up getting such perfect dots? Just fixed up the R and then that happened. I'd like to know how to save ink if someone could PM me how to.

The time you must have put into these is just amazing. The thanksgiving event was such a good fake. :thumbsup: The map of Canada you have on your website is also pretty cool!

Nice job on getting the letters done guys! :thumbsup: The vandals are pretty persistent though. :S

Player Gallery 9
The Troubled Mage, Duel Arena, and Butterflies were my favourite pieces. They each had different styles which were used to really make them stand out. The comics were also a good laugh. :P

Return to drawball?
Scribbled in a bit of brown but I couldn't get close to the correct shade at all. It would be awesome if we could get enough people to draw all at once, just to get the basic outline done.

not all the smilies work and only stay as text
The only one that doesn't work is this smilie: \:D/ It's a problem with IPB which I think is being fixed with the next update of the forum software. Also moving this thread to forum updates and suggestions. ;)

Help me with a desktop :)
I'm pretty sure it's a problem on your end. I had something similar happen when using the Tip.it Microhelper. What happened was when I had it over top of Runescape, and then minimized it, if I tried moving the camera only the area where the microhelper was would have the camera move. Most of the time simply clicking on the frozen gamescreen itself fixed the problem. If anything try just playing Runescape in a different browser, if you don't experience the problem anymore then it's most likely due to the swiftkit tools.
