Re: World Of Warcraft

Something that surprised me. Blizzard is finally selling gold. By creating an in game pet that you buy with real money and then can sell, that's essentially what they did. Was a time when they would never have considered it, but profits must be obtained, I guess. How long before they simply sell ep...

You realize that WoW uses the Warcraft 3 engine while guild wars used a new engine at the time. Warcraft 3 came out in 2002. Its amazing they have been able to extend the engine as long as they have. Cataclysm looks really good by the way. If WoW did come out with comparable graphics I am not sure i...

Well $309.99 plus tax and shipping but still. Not as good a deal as the Western Digital but it would beat the pants off of that drive in performance.

The Difference in price between the platforms is LESS then $100. It used to be much more but people would rather quote thats its "much" more then look at the current cost. With what your doing then I would say go for the X58 platform, as was already stated you get 6 core upgrade path plus ...

Vote for i7 930. $288.99 I know its not on the list but it should be. The Processor is amazing. undervolt stable to .95V or get it to 3.8Ghz at just under stock voltage. Compared to the 860 and 750 the overall platform costs for the 930 is much higher, with X58 and triple channel RAM. If the usage ...

Re: PC reboots if someone walks by

Well... you caught me.. I took a PIR sensor and hooked it up to a relay tied to your reset switch.

Seriously though I would take a multimeter to your reset switch connector and see if you have continuity to the case.
