I probably could have sold mine old one to you cheaper.
I really wanted to trade for the dsi, but the difference price was too much. 
Posted by: Buttsex Aug 24 2009, 04:34 PM
50 CD-Rs on a spindle. Got them on sale for 8.55 with tax, and there was a ten dollar coupon on the back of the receipt. They literally payed me to take them away.

I'm going to pull out my wallet right now and tell you what's in it.
2x 1 USD bill
1x 5 CAD bill (I'm richer in fucking Canada than in the US)
2x receipts because I'm poor and putting twix bars on my credit card
1x drivers license
1x credit card, which I should probably stop using to buy those twix bars, because I'm probably already not going to be able to pay the bill.
That's all the money I have. And you're spending $600 on software that's virtually the same as the previous version (that I'm pretty sure you already have), and you just bought a Mac. Where do you get all this money?
Posted by: serotonin Sep 3 2009, 09:54 PM
I paid $150 for the 4870. I think my monitor not responding though is telling me that my mobo is too old :[ I was hoping it wasn't so. Looks like I'll be upgrading that tomorrow.
Posted by: Buttsex Sep 3 2009, 10:02 PM
did you plug in the pci power cable?
Posted by: serotonin Sep 3 2009, 10:13 PM
Yeah. I'm just going to have to put in my old video card so I can install windows / drivers for the 4870 since my motherboard doesn't want to let me hook the monitor up to it.
Posted by: Buttsex Sep 3 2009, 10:21 PM
Good luck installing those drivers with an incompatible card in the system. Enjoy your BSoD
Posted by: Uronacid Sep 3 2009, 10:37 PM
What kind of monitor are you hooking the card up too. I have had trouble while connecting new cards to my Samsung HDTV before the drivers where installed. My computer would repeatedly blue screen while attempting load the XP default driver. Try a standard vga monitor before upgrading your mobo. As long as you have a PCIe x16 interface and enough juice from your PSU you should be able to use that card. Even if you're running off a v1.0 PCIe x16 interface.
Posted by: serotonin Sep 3 2009, 11:10 PM
22" samsung monitor. I'll see what happens, I called my buddy and he had the same issue and his runs fine now. I'm installing windows now.

My HDTV is a Samsung. I would try a different monitor if it doesn't work.

Just got a power supply, an Athlon II X2, a motherboard to go with it, and some DDR2 ram, finally upgraded my older Pentium IV system in my bedroom.
Posted by: tokyo-rose Jul 10 2010, 02:27 AM
How much were they? My cousin has Sennhauser headphones he really likes, and they cost way less than Bose retails for.
Posted by: ButtsexV2 Jul 10 2010, 03:51 AM
Bose is typically overpriced as it gets.
Posted by: saintsaens Jul 12 2010, 03:05 AM
BOSE stands for Buy Other Sound Equipment
Posted by: ButtsexV2 Jul 12 2010, 04:28 AM
If you can afford it, why not. I've got a pair of Bose earbuds that are pretty nice as far as earbuds go (got them as a gift a few years ago, wouldn't have payed for them, especially not at full price).
If you can get it for cheap, go for it, but never buy it full price.
Posted by: saintsaens Jul 12 2010, 01:22 PM

Because I like Shure and Sennheiser.
Posted by: Uronacid Jul 14 2010, 01:47 PM
I like my BOSE over the ear headphones. They're great for blocking out noise and peacfully listening to high quality music. One other factor I considered was that these headphones were extremely comfortable. I wear them for 4-8 hours at a time. I actually looked at Shure (which does make some fine products) and Sennheiser (which I'm not as familiar with), but neither of them stood up to the comfort\sound quality offered by the bose headphones I purchased. I purchased my BOSE over the ear head phones for $100.00 at BJ's. They have them on sale at the moment. These head phones sell for $125.00 at newegg, and mine came with a free iphone wall charger that I use to charge my droid.

I had KOSS headphones as a kid. They were alright.
Posted by: saintsaens Jul 15 2010, 01:17 PM
I'm more of a fan of earbuds myself, the only time I use my headphones are when I'm mixing and mastering and most importantly, not outside
Posted by: ButtsexV2 Jul 15 2010, 01:34 PM
oh no if you use anything larger than porta pros outside you look like a giant hipster f****t,
Posted by: Uronacid Jul 23 2010, 03:46 PM
I only use headphones while playing games or at work listening to music while programming. Never use them on the street... I hate hate hate ear buds... they hurt my ears.
Posted by: ButtsexV2 Jul 23 2010, 04:15 PM
I don't like ear buds either, which is why I own a pair of Porta-Pros. not only do they sound better than most earbuds, they are more comfortable. and they're still small enough that you don't look like a douche wearing them.
Posted by: Uronacid Aug 4 2010, 08:54 AM
Agreed, I looked at a pair in the store, but they were pretty flimsy.

I saw a few good prices on a vertex 2 but ended up getting a new motherboard and ram instead.
upgrading to 4 GB DDR3 from 2 GB DDR2 and a nice new motherboard that overclocks better than my current $30 open box board.

That's sweet. I remember my step up from 2GB. I was pretty happy with the increase in performance. Good bang for buck. everything just feels snappier.
Posted by: boot Jan 18 2011, 03:40 PM
well this is just on my second rig, my main one has had 4 GB for a few years now.
also I just bought a nice new 1 TB Spinpoint F3 last night

4GB is peanuts. I have 8GB in my laptop.
Posted by: boot Jan 18 2011, 05:41 PM
you've probably also got a steady job, I'm working for a really unstable upstart business right now and that doesn't always go so well.
I've still got another two banks open so I could fit another 8 GB in there no problem. obviously 4 GB sticks are expensive but I could do it. I'll have to work a little longer than the month between upgrades I've been doing lately though.

Excuses, excuses.
Posted by: Uronacid Jan 19 2011, 09:01 AM
That's not your laptop. It's owned by RPI. Buy your own machine you wimp. Here's what I've got in mine:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
CPU: Core 2 Dou E6550 2.3Ghz 1333FSB
RAM: 4GB DDR2 800
MOBO: ECS P45T-A
VIDEO: AMD HD 6970 2GB
PSU: 650w Antec
CASE: Antec 300
NIC: Bigfoot Killer NIC M1
HD: 80GB WD Velociraptor 10K RPM (Operating System), 1TB WD Green 7.2K RPM(Data/Games/Programs/MediaServer)
Extras: Corsair H-50 liquid cooling... :P
My CPU and RAM are 4 years old. This was originally an Dell Optiplex 380 with Windows XP. Just in case you're wondering, the Killer NIC really does work. There is a significant difference while playing MMOs and large scale FPS like Battlefield. I purchased it for 50.00 from someone on Craig's List. It was defective. I called the company, and they replaced it for the cost of shipping. I think my next purchase will be the Killer Nic 2100.
Posted by: mipadi Jan 19 2011, 10:43 AM
Sigh... I haven't worked at RPI since last May. (I have actually mentioned this in several replies to similar comments of yours.)
Posted by: Uronacid Jan 19 2011, 12:54 PM
I don't pay attention. Sorry, what happened?
Posted by: mipadi Jan 19 2011, 01:19 PM
I got a job with a magazine in New York. I live in Brooklyn now. (And, FYI, I own my own laptop.)
Posted by: boot Jan 19 2011, 02:26 PM
I did just get a new hard drive though (as I mentioned), and maxing out the ram is next on my shopping list, after upgrading the power supply and processor.
Posted by: Uronacid Jan 21 2011, 08:57 AM
I would love to purchase some SSD's and run them in raid 0. That really should be my next investment, but I'm currently happy with load times in my games. Also, windows boots up in like 25 seconds... I guess I'm happy with that. Resume windows takes less than 10 seconds.
Posted by: Uronacid May 20 2011, 08:43 AM
Just purchased the: TC-P55GT30 
In the past I've been a huge fan of Samsung displays, but after my last Samsung LCD I was left disappointed in the company when I purchased a series 5 52" Samsung television 2 years ago. While I'd done quite a bit of research before buying the TV, the picture just didn't live up to my expectations.
Love this TV, I know I could have purchased the ST30 because it "technically" has the same panel. The thin chassis and bezel really helped justify the extra 250.00. I'm extremely happy with the purchase.
Not sure if any of you are aware, but most large TVs have a serious problem with input lag. This makes competitive gaming damn near impossible, however this TV has no problem quickly displaying actions on the screen. I'm finally happy to game in full 1080p. Colors are crisp, motion blur is non-existent, and input lag is at an all-time low.
Panny's are now my TV of choice. I can see why the pros love them.
