12 GA Shotguns are fun, I go clay pidgeon shooting once or twice a year with a Browning BPS. The big problems with Hi-Points is they are obscenely ugly, heavy, and bulky. They do work though, and there's something to say for a $150 pistol that works. Also: Hi Celegorm, root, long time no see.

I'm late, but happy b-day.

I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 670 4gb SC with a stock blower that is excruciatingly loud and runs hot. Recommendations on a replacement cooler? Also long time no see, etc etc.

Ah good old CF, I remember a gun debate here years ago. This place is full of Europeans who think their opinions mean something to Americans. We are nut jobs who love our guns, and you just hate that so much. Frankly I'm more concerned with real problems, like mental healthcare and suicides...

Newegg.com - ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Can't wait to get the CPU tomorrow. Oh hai cele. :P Here's my complete specs: Asus P8Z77-V | Intel Ivy Bridge i7-3770K | GeForce 8800GT 512MB (Upgrade pending) Cooler Master HAF X | 4x4 G.Skill...

Yeah, you don't take anything off of the motherboard, you just install the bracket exactly the same way you would on an 1156 board.

Yes. In fact I'm using a Noctua NH-D14 on my 1155 right now.

It's nothing to get excited over for Sandy Bridge users, that's for sure. It is however a massive jump for me.

So I took the plunge, upgrading from an old Athlon II X4 630 I bought for $99 in January of 2010. Can't wait, haven't had a big upgrade in years. Anybody else buy an Ivy Bridge? I can't imagine Sandy users are compelled since it's not a huge improvement over it.

Sorry to hear that. I have taken a hard drive with Windows 7 on it out of a computer, placed it in another with COMPLETELY different hardware, and have had it boot successfully. My general rule of thumb, is that if you are going to replace the motherboard, you might as well reinstall the OS.

Actually, when Gearbox was asked to take over DNF, they were asked to finish it and "port it consoles.." That, and Borderlands wasn't that bad on the PC. Yes there was no console and it could have been better, but if you think that was a bad port, then you sir have not played very many ports.

I'm sure I mentioned in there somewhere that I've used different versions of windows, along with the whole completely different hardware thing. I NEVER let Windows Update take care of drivers for me. That's my job. As I mentioned, these issues never arised in Windows XP.. just 7. I would...

Ok, I'm having trouble finding the right words to put all of this in. It's going to take a bit of talking so please bear with me here. Let me just start off with my specifications. OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 630 RAM: Super Talent DDRII 800 2x2GB MOBO: MSI K9A2 CF GPU: eVGA...

Get the 3000. Not all games are available for download, so with the Go you have absolutely no guarantee that you can play a new PSP game.
