'Course I'm checking it. :P

Yea, like I said though, I have an 80GB right now and it still isn't full. :P I have the 3 dawn of war games, company of heroes, GTA: SA, the sims 2...uhhh TORIBASH! :P I forget what else. Just a bunch of crap, plus all my music. I don't think I could use all of a 320GB. :shock:

What orifice did you pull this number out of? Can't be too far off. Anyone here who has seen a wild banana, and a banana that we eat - which humans have selected and nurtured over thousands of years to get to it's current state - believes in evolution to some point. You're pretty much forced to.

Yea, it's good PvP gear is easy to get, though. Arena gear...Whatever. I'm usually a raider aswell. Used to Main-Tank for the best guild on Perenolde - Unity. MTed for MC, BWL, ZG, AQ20 and some of AQ40. Server firsts for bosses in all those places. Pwn! :P

Ah, thermal paste! That would have been bad to forget. I figured it'd come with the processor, but...Yea. Maybe not. :shock: Those other cases are nice too. I'll have to mix and match some stuff. I've kept the link to this thread so I can come back when I go to buy stuff. :P

5th Graders: Tackling the important issues of today.

Yeah I knew that, I was just trying to keep it simple :D . NAY! We must now ridicule you. :P

I was thinking about a 500 gig hard drive aswell, but honestly, I doubt I'd use it! Even as a gamer, I have an 80 gig right now and it still isn't full. It's got only a few gigs left, but still. I have music and like 10 or so games on my computer, including WoW, which eats HD space like nothin'. So the 320 should be okay. The grand total for that all is $2,145, by the way. Not bad. Could try to find a cheaper case, but eh. That one is okay too. Just have to make sure it's not a mid-tower because that graphics card won't fit in one comfortable, it's too long.

Haha, I hear ya' on the free food. Thanks for the help, it all looks pretty good, and I'm surprised, some of the stuff you picked out was stuff I was looking at getting. :P Namely the case, vid card, and memory. I take it the onboard sound on that motherboard is sufficient? :P

so a new tower and keyboard/mouse then? do you need a monitor? New tower, yea. Would rather not try to put a bunch of awesomeness into a Dell Dimension 2400's case. :P I don't NEED a monitor, but I may get one since I've seen a few that were pretty cheap. But really, I doubt I will. It's just an extra few hundred dollars that could be spent elsewhere. I have a 19" that works awesomely.

Yea, I've seen a few DDR3's on Newegg, I believe. My budget is probably $2,000, tops. I can't really make myself spend more than that without feeling like I'm wasting all my money on something. :P However, I am aware that graphic cards themselves can take up a huge chunk of that, so I could go a lil' over. There is some stuff I'll be reusing...If I can, that is. I have a DVD drive I like, just bought for my computer, and my CD drive is fine...Floppy disk drive...Uhhh...I could reuse my mouse and keyboard, but they're gettin' raggity, probably get new ones, wireless KTHNX, tired of these wires, haha.

:uhh: How did you manage to wrack up $400 trying to make it work? Break somethin'? I'm just curious. :P I always can get the local shop here to put it together for me, but I'm not sure if I will need it. There are many many tutorials with pictures, my own rather limited knowledge (it isn't THAT hard, a lot of stuff just snaps or screws in and is obvious where it goes) and of course, instructions! But yea, it's always an option. They'd probably do it for $80, lol.

I figured it was something like that, 'cause I heard they were comin' out with 4 core's last year or whatever. Or earlier this year, whichever it was. Thanks for that, though. I'm sure the Kentsfield is uber fast, but not $1,500 fast. :P And thanks for the added-in edit. That helped even more.

I've seen a lot of these posts...There should probably be a sticky by now. :P Anyways, I'm planning on building a computer soon because mine is pretty out-dated (2003?), and frankly, and the numbers and letters labeled on the box of a processor and whatnot mean pretty much NOTHING to me. I know the difference between 1.6 ghz and 3.0 ghz, of course, but there are many other important things in these apparently "secrets codes" of numbers and letters. I was looking at processor options and saw a 3.0 ghz processor that was $1,500. I almost crapped myself. I thought "How the hell can that be?" when I had just saw a 3.0 ghz processor the day before for about $300. The difference? The mumbo-jumbo of numbers and letters that apparently somehow make it "better" or "worse" than the other thing. In this case? Check it out: $1,500 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819115026 FSB - 1333mhz L1 cache - 64KB+64KB L2 cache - 2x4MB $300 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819115028 FSB - 1333mhz L1 cache - 32KB+32KB L2 cache - 4MB shared See the difference? What the hell does THAT mean? Obviously, the cache's on the more expensive one are larger, but I was under the understanding that processors' uberness was gauged based on their ghz. And what in the world does FSB mean? They're the same, so yea... I guess I'm kinda' clueless. When I looked around at first, I went by "more expensive is better" because that's usually how [cabbage] is in life, but that's a pretty ignorant stance, so I'm trying to learn so I don't get the wrong crap. Needless to say, no matter how uber a $1,500 processor is, I'm not buying it 'cause it's just too spendy. :P Also, I'm curious about power supplies. How do I know how much to get? Why over do it if I don't need to? Do certain motherboards not support certain other items like RAM, processors, etc? I'm taking it that they all pretty much work together, but again, I don't want to screw myself over. Heatsinks...What should I look for? I'd rather not fry my processor...That would suck. Cooling...Which is the way to go? Fans? Water-cooling? I must admit, water cooling looks like it'd be pretty nifty...No loud [wagon] fans for once would be nice...Thing is, I have no idea how THAT crap even works, and frankly, the idea of me - a complete novice - messing around with water and computer components is frightening, so...How about we talk fans, unless it's easier than I think? :lol: Basically, I'm trying to make a rig that won't lag me to death while playing games. I'm so tired of lag that I'm about ready to throw my computer out the window. Getting 10 FPS on WoW (probably more WoW's fault than mine since I usually run 20-25 FPS) lately is just the last straw. I'd rather spend money than be annoyed endlessly. I know it's probably kinda' comical that you guys think I can put together my own computer without knowing much about them, but putting them together isn't the hard part. :P I've had to take mine apart and stick it back together many times from upgrades and whatnot, it's not too tough...Plus, there is always instructions! :lol: Thanks for any help. I'm just about ready to dive off the cliff and start buying, so I just want to make sure I get it right. Remember - it's for gaming, and yes, I'll probably be sticking 4 gigs of RAM in it just to be safe. :lol: Umm, yea...Groovy. ;)

Was playing a druid on the PTR last night and holy crap... I went to Ironforge and Ravaged a rogue, then went to bear form as he tried to run away, feral charged him, then another rogue stealthed up and ambushed me, doing like 300 damage. :lol: After that, four guards got on me and the first rogue died soon after. Then I started wailing on the second rogue and started just mashing swipe to do as much damage as I could before I died... 3 guards died and the fourth was at 1/4 health, the second rogue was also at 1/4 health. My level 51 druid is gettin' up to 70. Soon. :P

Hahaaaaaa. As Bubsa said.

It seems to be a recurring theme with you, Eels, that you think just because this is the internet, you are free from judgement based on what you say. That in itself is quite telling of you. Just because I'm not looking at you face to face doesn't mean I can't tell that you're dumb. I've never met George Bush, but I know for a fact that man is a [bleep]ing moron based only on how he acts in the public forum, which is, quite literally, where you are. And again, don't lump me into your religion. Now you're claiming that *I* am claiming to be a Christian for my own gain in a debate (HUH? That's more of a hinderment) when infact I've said the opposite.

Do you even know what a hypocrite is? I mean, it's clear that you do, but applying it to myself isn't the most genius idea you've ever had. My stances are quite clear and unchanging. I've never tried to sit here and tell you what the Bible means when it says statement X. What I *have* done is questioned the Christian stance on God, which is that he apparently forgets that he loves all of his children whenever one of them is a homosexual. Is God disgusted by them? Sure, let's entertain your little notion. He's totally digusted in them, 'kay? Be that as it may, that DOESN'T give you the right to be disgusted. Christians have this odd notion that whatever God can do, they can do, and when God feels one way, Christian's can forget all their teachings and the word of God and jump onto the Judgement-Train. Wrooooong. You haven't got the right. You know how Jesus said the path into Heaven was a very narrow one? This is part of what he meant. You honestly think that there are like a billion Christians (well, most Christians think it's more like 3 billion, because they're dumb) who are all going to Heaven just because they ask Jesus for forgiveness? I don't think so. Most of you are going to the same "Hell" (I don't believe in Hell, obviously) that you say other people are going to. Why and how can this be? Because most of you don't know how to keep your damn mouth shut and follow what you've been taught. Most of you completely forget 99% of what you've been taught while you're railing against the 1%. It's why it is so freakin' simple to call you guys out on your [cabbage]. We've read the Bible, or at least we're familiar with it, and we know what it says. Hell, we follow it more closely than you do because we don't rail against things the Bible says is wrong. There are just some things you cannot help or control. We realize this, you do not. Which leads me to my next point, when I say "you", I don't necessarily mean YOU PERSONALLY. I mean people like you. Christians. The dudes who run around with signs saying hateful things against homosexuals and rallying against them to never be able to get married so that you can "protect the sanctity of marriage"...Whatever the Hell THAT means. Gay people don't want pretty white-dressed Christian weddings. They want to be recognized as a legit couple so they can get the same benefits all other couples get. Do you have a problem with THIS? If your answer is yes, I can most definately say you have a problem with homosexuals. If you want your marriage rituals protected, that's fine, but homosexuals don't give a damn about your rituals. I can't imagine a homosexual saying "I want a Christian wedding!" when Christians so obviously despise them as a whole. I can see your hatred in your posts. Simple example? You probably don't even realize you're doing this, but this little sentance... "But that doesn't mean I don't disagree with the perverted act." ...Gives it away. Rather than just refering to it as an "act", you threw in an adjective..."perverted". Why would you do this? We know what act you're talking about. I'm sure you'll say you only added it because you believe it is a perversion, but "perverted" is a hateful word when used in the correct context. People call others "perverts" all the time to make fun of them for something, usually of sexual nature. Basically, you just threw it in because you think the act is disgusting, and cry all you want, that means you think the people are disgusting too. I know it SOUNDS great to play Jesus and say "no, no! I love the people, I just hate the act!", but humans are uncapable of such feelings. They're uncapable to love someone and hate the act they've committed. Would you say you loved someone who murdered your whole family? Of course not, you'd hate that person. Look, there is no way you're going to love someone who's committing an act you hate. There's just NO WAY. You're just channeling the words of Jesus, and it's totally fake. You're not even capable of loving ME, and I haven't committed anything you hate. This statement, of course, will make you go into a rant about how you DO love me aswell, but you don't. Look at your post - filled with hate towards me. Name calling n' whatnot, you see. And I know I call names too, but I'm not the one pretending to be Jesus here. I'm not the one running around feigning love for everyone. You are. And like you said before, would I hate my mother if she killed someone? You assumed I'd just hate her act and still love her, but you're wrong. I'd hate her aswell. She'd bring shame and ridicule upon my family, so that's obvious. Humans aren't responsible enough or "perfect" enough to be capable of such things. You can SAY you love these people all you want, but you're not going to be able to fool God if you can't even fool me.

Generally, I have no problem with private acts between consenting individuals which don't harm other people. But considering it's hard to figure out whether or not a sheep actually consents to sex with a farmer it's hard to say whether or not bestiality falls under that rule of thumb. Bestiality is normally abusive towards the animal, and animals are pretty much incapable of expressing informed consent anyway, so in the vast majority of cases it's effectively rape and animal cruelty. So you are a vegetarian, then? Or do you ask an animal for its consent first before eating it? Heh, that's a reasonable point, except that I said i'm against unnecessary cruelty to animals. Eating meat is "necessary" not strictly so, but it serves a more obvious health purpose than intercourse with animals. Ack, don't sway to his inferior intellect by calling his "point" a "reasonable" one. It isn't reasonable, and it isn't a point. It's stupidity. He's trying to compare two dudes consensually having sex and a relationship with a human RAPING A DOG. That is the dumbest thing I have ever, ever heard. Who said I was comparing? I was just looking for a contradiction in his beliefs, and I found one. He stated that Bestiality is immoral because the animal cannot consent, and then I retaliated by asking him if he asks animals for their consent before slaughtering and eating them. It is inconsistent to call bestiality immoral and carnivorous behaviour moral on the basis of consent. It has everything to do with eating it. The animal cannot (would not) consent to being eaten. I don't see how you can say it has nothing to do wtih being eaten. Just because you missed the point of my post doesn't mean that I am stupid. I would encourage you to take time and make sure you know what you're talking about before you repeatedly insult me and make yourself look idiotic as a consequence. No, your "point" is moronic. There is a big difference between raping an animal and eating an animal. First, you're entertaining the idea that eating an animal is somehow "wrong" in the first place, when it isn't. Secondly, you aren't taking into account that a raped animal has to live on and remember the abuse, traumatizing it, whereas a slaughtered and eaten animal is just dead, nothing more. It's a hunk o' meat. Frankly, I don't know about you, but I'm sure most rape victims wish they were dead rather than having to remember it. Frankly I find it sad that you've now turned this into a topic about the morality of raping a [bleep]in' sheep or eating a [bleep]in' sheep. That is the dumbest debate I have ever heard. Even Bible-Banging whacko's would not make such a ridiculous claim as "Beastiality and eating meat are similar moral-wise!" The Bible even says it's cool to eat meat, but not cool to rape said animal the meat came from. So now, all of a sudden, you guys are questioning God's judgement. So God knows the difference between the two, but you guys are trying to take the line away and make it the same. Sorry - not happening.

Generally, I have no problem with private acts between consenting individuals which don't harm other people.

Beastiality is immoral because the animal cannot consent, and that has NOTHING to do with eating it, either. Christ, if this is the amazing intellect God gives to his followers, I'd rather worship Satan out-right and take my chances.

Haha... thats great. I know rick already said it but the PC has already produced stuff better than was the PS3 can do. I'd love to see it do bioshock in full DX10, or crysis when it comes out. Not to mention that it was tested when the PS3 came out, against the 360, and the 360 won. In order for the PS3 to out-right smoke the 360 in graphics, the game would have to have...No sound...:lol:

I do all of the above, actually. :P Though, sometimes I do force myself to sleep 'cause it seems abnormal being up so late, but yea...I never use stimulants, and I eat like 8 times per day (when I'm hungry, in other words :P). Workin' out and all. :P

I hope that is a freakin' Photoshop.

I envy you. :P Sleeping is literally the biggest waste of time one will ever have done in his or her life...1/3 of your life roughly is dedicated to it. Barf. I hate sleeping. Edit: I wonder if tripping on DMT for like an hour would make up for not sleeping... :-k Okay, probably not.

Two words for the Aussies - PEANUT BUTTER. :P Weet-Bix looks like a big block of hashish. Reminds me of Shredded Mini-Wheats here in the states, though.
