[QUOTE=Odellus;33600115]it was this one [url]http://www.ixbt.com/short/images/lowres_Fatal1ty2.jpg[/url] got it like three years ago, still works and the mic is great[/QUOTE] I have one, broke after 6 months and quality was shit, mic sounded like a bulldozer.
sounds like quality control issues
I'm getting ignored in the android general thread in the google section I'm about to finish a course and as a reward for finishing I get a free laptop (DOn't know what model, but it's an Asus) or an Asus Transformer. Since I don't want a laptop I thought I would get the transformer, is there anything I need to know about it?
Not really, mine has been great. Stupidly long battery life (I'm getting like 10 hours of use on a charge), great display, decent 3D capabilities and some decent games (it even pulls playstation games without issue), responsive touchscreen and android Ice cream sandwich has been confirmed for the device. The only let down is the default browser is a bit crap for sites based on vBulletin, so I have been using opera. Nothing bad really to point out.
Anyone know about decent and reasonably priced VPSs
Does anyone here know what happened to the links from Microsoft where you could download the Windows 7 .iso files? [editline]6th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=acidcj;33604633]Anyone know about decent and reasonably priced VPSs[/QUOTE] I've seen FanaticalVPS mentioned a lot.

[QUOTE=NINTENDUDECT;33598011]God is Amazon always this slow around Christmas? I ordered a motherboard and psu a week ago and they still haven't shipped, even though I got the case I ordered the same day, on the 2nd. The estimation runs until the 12th so there's still plenty of time, but I've never had this issue before. Though I did ask in live chat and they said it's being prepared. Just used to it being quick I guess.[/QUOTE] Amazon is fast, unless you're buying THROUGH amazon. I normally order overnight stuff for 4 bucks. Usually up until 7pm local time I can get stuff the following morning for $3.99
So I found out why my GIFs were so large - my exporter was adding extra frames in for some reason. Anybody know of a quick way to delete every odd numbered frame in a GIF?
I recently got an Asus GTX 560 Ti Directcu ii. I'm relying solely on the stock fans, should I be worried if the card is reaching temperatures of around 70+ degrees celcius while running Skyrim on ultra at 1440 x 900?
no

Can someone help me compare the 560ti Hawk Edition from MSI to the evga classified 560ti w/448 cores other than the 60dollar price difference? Also if there is something that is better for nothing more than 300 after shipping please direct me. Current specs: i7 2600k/8gb ram/gtx 260/550watt antec truepower trio.

does anyone know a good source for animated backgrounds, all the shit on youtube is pay-to-use or doesn't loop properly and looks like total shit at 1080p [editline]7th December 2011[/editline] I just want a simple snow loop
For a comparison the 570 has 480 cores.
My Xbox live account had auto-renewal on and it just auto-renewed. However, the credit card it used expired. Will I still be charged somehow or will my account be deleted/suspended/something and will it affect anything at all besides my Xbox Live account? [editline]edit[/editline] Does this belong here or somewhere else?
You aren't at fault, I wouldn't worry.
[QUOTE=BrainDeath;33617677]You aren't at fault, I wouldn't worry.[/QUOTE] I should also add that I don't plan on using my Xbox anymore or getting Live anymore.
then cancel it bub.

Is it true that I'll have to get the new intel processors coming out in Q1 to unlock PCIE 3.0 on PCIE 3.0 boards? I see a nice ASrock SLI board, only 150, with 2 PCIE 3.0 slots (both x16 or running together at x8). If this is the case, why is this board LGA 1155? The new intel chips are going to be lga 2011. And to get the most out of SLI, running two cards at x8 is the best right?

This is purely a case of old CC details, MS isn't stupid.
Happened to my brother, they basically just tried to charge the account the whole month but he kept gold. Note that some cards will still work even though they're expired, it's weird but it happens.

My friend said I need to benchmark my PC when I apply thermal paste to the cpu(when I get it all that is), for 5 hours or so. Is this true or is he just pulling this out of his ass? I just want to make sure.

No way I'm buying ivy bridge, fuck that. Intel is going to charge an arm and a leg for an ivy bridge.

I have TWC, how do I purchase a static IP for a computer that I want to re-purpose as a computer? (external, not internal)

Just use intel burn test + speedfan or whatnot. I never heard about benching for 5 hours, but when I FINALLY get my new build I'm most likely going to monitor my temps a lot for the first week.
