Well as I understand it he doesn't really have any option other than to buy a system now, its an entire new build, he currently doesn't have anything at home to work on.

As I understand it he won't be running xfire, both the boards he has selected only have 1 PCI-E 16x slot and he'll be using the HD4870 1GB in that so as to get the most out of the monitor hes getting. Basically its a rig to last a couple of years and then when the next upgrade comes to have some par...

Hi Guys! With all the help that was previously given to me on this forum, I thought I'd come bug you again. I'm helping a mate set up a new system, his budget is 15k. Everything is basically ready except for one question. He has quotes on two systems, first one contains a Phenom II x4 940 on an Asus...

I'm getting raped myself this month. Currently working through a broker but my insurance is placed with Zurich. Received a letter stating that my premium will be increasing with about 20%. The reasons stated were increased cost of repairs, increased risk on the road and increased unlicensed drivers....

Um....the one in the green jacket looks like a younger version of my brother in law...

Blizzard has not announced a release date for WoTLK yet, a bunch of retailers have speculated about when the game is going to be released but they just keep moving their date on. The Alpha testing started about a month ago, no date has been given for when Beta testing starts. With Blizzard you can e...

Well it seems to be confirmed, they are announcing D3 this weekend, found this on www.worldofwar.net Diablo 3 Announcement at WWI 25th Jun 2008 05:42 PM GMT by Leord 4 comments Rushster sends word from our sister site Diabloii.net that there is a definite word on the WWI Announcement: With this week...

If blizzard made one it would be the model breaker

Just too toss another spanner in the works, imagine if Blizzard decided to branch out totally new direction and start a new franchise apart from Warcraft, Starcraft or Diablo...not that there are many other genres left, but it would be cool...like finally having a decent well thought out sport sim t...

I frankly don't care if the game goes totally the opposite direction than the previous 2 in that we play demons fighting against the good side. As long as they find a way to bring out a similar style game and its up to their normal standard I'll be happy. With Blizzard you can almost always expect s...

I'm just going off what I saw here, Blizzard Image Solved but it seems that there is a mix of runes. Typical of Blizzard though, mangle our minds! Also to quote from www.diabloii.net Another morning, another splash and yet another teasing hidden image. As pointed out by Frudge, the rune is not from ...

I don't think its an announcement for D3, possibly a date for WoTLK, if you look at the way they are updating the image to include runes in the ice the runes are the ones found on the blade of Frostmourne, Arthas' weapon...just some more speculation, use it don't use it

Guess that's rather settled then, as soon as I get the cash available then I'll get something like spec 2...all depends on what is available on the market at that stage then I guess.

I'm basically just working off the prices that I get off the web, not sure if its ok to mention the sites but in general all the prices I got were from ComX. In the end I'll most likely shop around and buy from whoever can give me the entire system at the cheapest price.

Well everyone seems happy with my selection thus far, if you will allow me, let me ask this differently. If you had 10k and had to build yourself a gaming pc what would you get?

Man you guys are quick ;) and thanks for the welcome, this definately seems to be the best to discuss these things in the country. My preference would definately be spec 2, but it all depends on my finances at that stage. As I said I will most likely be purchasing at the end of August so I'm hoping ...

I know everyone here mst be tired of threads like this, so even if you don't reply with specific details I would appreciate any help or a link on where I can read up some more. I'm planning on getting myself a complete new system at the end of August, thanks to PCF's last couple of issues I've got a...

Well he's had his children if thats any consolation.

I'm not sure if this has been requested or not, but I think it would be really nice if you could put the full 2.4.0 patches for World of Warcraft EU and US on the disc.

I have a guy in my company that has been in hospital for the last 4 weeks. He was fixing a toilet as his house and he sat on the bowl and tried to lift the cistern. Unfortunately his grip slipped and it fell onto his genitals crushing them against the seat...he now has to go in for another op at whi...

iBurst should have it up on their website, for vodacom and MTN you should be able to get a starter pack for about R1 from any pick'n'pay and you can just load a bundle on to that. The issue, and this may be your deciding factor, will be the cost relating to the modem used.

Basically it boils down to signal strength where you are. I personally tried iBurst at my house on a 7-day trial but couldn't connect even once, ended up spending the next 6 months fighting to get the money back they had debited from my account the day after delivering the equipment. After that I tr...
