More assumptions and more :laugh:, I garden, camp, fish, hike, build things including the house I live in, operate heavy equipment, jet ski, boat, Off road. Nope haven't forgotten the outside :P Actually I am rather fond of it outside :laugh: And no, I don't hate you or even dislike you, I...

Both PHPbb and proboards are insanely simple to set up, and run (only 2 I have really used, so the only two forums I can say anything about). Yes, you can embed in PHPbb, and while PHPbb doesn't come with a chat you can get chat mods for it. example http://www.123flashchat.com/phpbb_chat.html

Grr, I am going with you guy's suggestion, glad I check things turns out my brother in law, who set up the deal was feeding me a line. The Asus motherboard has some pretty annoying known flaws. Guess its the EVGA 750i.

More giggling, so sexist comments that elicit response are proof of your original position of implying that somehow housewives alone are desperate if they are gamers? What? Am I supposed to watch soap operas, and quilt like a good little housewife? Perhaps you could stereotype my gender and...

Ok grabbing the Cooler suggested instead of the other, think Ill stick with 780i board, reviews are good and I got a good deal on one local. Paying 200 total nib, no shipping most it will cost is a random side trip when I go into town, will check out the PSUs reviews, but I definitely want some...

After all the advice, reading reviews and hanging out I think I have come to a conclusion on the main build. Thank you and tell me what you think Lian Li PC-V2100B Case Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8400 ASUS Striker II Formula...

You can't gaurentee an explosion with electricity even going well over the wattage. I had 10k volts surge through my house, blew a nickle size hole in a surge suppressor, fried my PSU but didn't blow anything up on the computer. Now thats 10 k v. Obvious it got past the surge suppressor since it...

I'm stuck choosing between Lian Li PC-V2100B Case or Lian Li PC-71 Full Tower. Honestly I like the exterior on the 71 better, but inside the 2100b seems better laid out. Is coin flipping a good way to pick a case anyways? :P And freek, I'm definitly interested in the Vista, going to start...

I am sorry, this made me giggle. Nice to meet ya, signed the gaming housewife. Not sure what ya mean by Desperate, been gaming a hell of alot longer then I've been a housewife. (Started out on pen and papers, gmed rifts for a while, Played Shadowrun, Vampire: The Masquerade of course, ) Played...

Looks pretty good, think Ill double up on the GPUs, and pick up vista, just got off the phone with the hubby and he says this is my baby I can do what I want with it. Honestly would rather go with Linux but even with Wine running MMO's can be troublesome. Think Ill up the start up Budget to...

XFX nForce 780i 3-Way SLI Motherboard - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 Processor 2.66GHz VS my original choice? Both are easy within my price range

He uses it right now, not sure if its just a new OS, or the OS in general that ticks him off. My only choices though are stick with an OS he likes, or kick him off my Computer. Since hes paying for my parts, I don't think the later is a great plan. :P

My husband uses Vista at work, XP Pro at home, he doesn't like Vista. Since I am dealing with any form of windows so he can use my computer I'm sticking with a version he likes.. Simple Wife logic.

Sorry but no vista, Yeah I know I can't as of yet tri SLI XP Pro 64 bit, but no hurry here, as I got a rather large over all budget. I intend on spending around 1400 1500 just to get it up and running I intend on turning it into a running project, leads to my next sorry but thanks but no. Antec...

Having maintained the same systems since 2000 on just upgrades I decided to quit looking to a new place to buy a custom system and just build one. Well that and I got this card as a gift XFX GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB DDR3 DUAL DVI HDCP Extreme. Sunbeam Transformer Case w/five fans...
