Try: http://www.emachines.com/ Emachines is owned by Gateway. They sell them at Circuit City and if you keep your eye on the ads in the paper you can usually find a good deal for under $400 with LCD monitor. My dad just bought one and hasn't had any problems with it. The LCD is a ProView...

Not that I'm aware of. I believe they will be released early next year. Based on what I've read, you'll need Windows Vista to have full support. I'm not sure how Windows XP will handle them. -Gak Toid

Update Some information I've learned: 1) The C2D naturally want a run a FSB of 266MHz. This directly correlates to DDR2-533. So if you're not going to overclock, that's the fastest RAM you'll need. Right now DDR-667 is cheaper, so that's an option too. 2) If you want to get the most...

NewEgg has it for $80, currently. -Gak Toid

Sorry about the poor wording. What I mean to say: Is this a good balance between the CPU, the Video Card, the RAM (and motherboard). I realize that pairing a Geforce 8800 with an Athlon 2400+ is a pretty poor idea and wanted to make sure I balanced my components. The X1950Pro is about the same...

I build myself a new PC about every 4 years. It's time to replace my aging Athlon and DX8 video card with something a little more modern. I'm not interested in overclocking or a dual video card setup. The primary uses will be gaming (World of Warcraft, Half-Life 2, etc) and software development...

Lots of people have recommended getting the Sonata II...and throwing away the power supply that comes with it. Apparently, the Antec power supplies have decreased in quality while their cases have increased in popularity. The SmartPower series seems to be especially plagued with short lived...

I'm putting together a parts list to build myself a new PC. The one part that I have the most trouble picking out is the case. Perhaps I'm too picky or there are too many choices, but I can never seem to find one that fits my needs. My needs: * mid-tower ATX case * any color/material (as long...

Rl'Halsinor - I can't add to the OCR conversation, but I can say that I followed your instructions to access MS Office Document Imaging and everything was as you described. The Document Imaging application is separate from MS Office Word. Example: Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office >...

My AthlonXP 2400+ system is finally on its last legs (2nd hard drive to die in less than a year and I don't want to buy another PATA drive). I'm building a new system from scratch. I've pretty much settled on the Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 for the CPU. My problem is chipsets. I'm not real sure...

Receipt forwarded to Piratecat. Thanks. -Gak Toid

I'm hoping for some help in finding spells that don't do damage. Stun, daze, nauseate...any effect that removes someone from combat, but not direct damage. I'm hoping someone has a spell database that'll allow you to search by effect to make this quick and painless. Does anyone have that type...

He's a melee oriented spontaneous divine caster. The feats were just ones I picked. I didn't really have a specific style in mind. The rest of the party is: cleric, archer, fighter, rogue, shadowdancer -Gak Toid

I'm building a favored soul as a backup character for CotSQ and I'm not sure how happy I am with the build so far. I'm looking for advice. 32 point buy, 3/4 HP per level I haven't fully equipped him yet, so some of his stats will change slightly. Here's version one: Danris Vesein: Male...

Stone Bear Any chance that we could see a character sheet for Stone Bear? -Gak Toid

There's a common theory that says loosing caster levels is bad. I'm wondering if the same theory applies to fighters and base attack bonus. Here's a list of ECL 12 characters with different hit dice and level adjustments. All of them are pretty good fighters, but I'm wondering if it's...

I've got Settlers, if that's something everyone knows how to play. The first time you play is tough and probably not the best way to meet someone. The Meetup.com group for D&D in Rochester doesn't have an organizer, so no meetings are scheduled. Millennium doesn't have any D&D events...

Upstate. About 6 hours from NYC. -Gak Toid
