  1. X-RayXI Please check out the Linksys E4200 router. Totally worth it(higher price)! Read some reviews and you will know That's what I use and it works excellently Its in New Egg for $135 Runs all my wireless N stuff, and I have my gaming rig hard wired into it with 1Gb connection which fully utilizes the 16Mb connection I have. Hard wired is the way to go. I have never heard of much success with wireless gaming although I only know of a couple of people who have tried it
  2. I was 20 years old floating around on a Royal Navy Ship in the North Atlantic, playing War games with the Americans We were pretending to be the Russians and usually won -. I think the Americans felt sorry for us
  3. PHUCKITMAN Also DAWGY said he is going to try to finish up his latest map for you guys to have as well. Sure is nice to have custom maps made for a game that is so old and yet we have members who work hard to keep it fresh for us all. You are not kidding P'man That's awesome Dawgy. I know you gotta be jonesing like crazy to not play, but are still willing to put out the hard work needed. Lets hope some peeps bring up some good ones
  4. A long post but maybe it helps: Note: These instructions apply to a standard ATX power supply.Essentially all modern consumer power supplies are ATX power supplies. Open your case. In short, this involves turning off thecomputer, removing the power cable and unplugging anything else connecting to theoutside of your computer. To make testing yourpower supply easier, you should also move your disconnected and opened case somewhere easy to work like on a tableor other flat, non-static surface. Unplug the power connectors from each and every internal device. Tip: An easy way to confirm that each power connector isunplugged is to work from the bundle of power cables coming from the powersupply inside the PC. Each group of wires should terminate to one or more powerconnectors. Note: There is no need to remove the actual power supply unitfrom the computer nor is there any reason to disconnect any data cables orother cables not originating from the power supply. Group all of the power cables and connectors together for easytesting. As you're organizing the power cables, Ihighly recommend rerouting them and pulling them as far away from the computercase as possible. This will make it as easy as possible to test the powersupply connections. Short out pins 15 and 16 on the 24-pin motherboard power connectorwith a small piece of wire. You'll probably needto take a look at the ATX 24 pin12V Power Supply Pinout table todetermine the locations of these two pins. Plug the PSU into a live outlet and flip the switch on the backof the power supply. Assuming that the power supply is at least minimallyfunctional and that you've properly shorted the pins in Step 5, you should hearthe fan begin to run. Important: Just because the fan is running does not mean that yourpower supply is supplying power to your devices properly. You'll need tocontinue testing to confirm that. Note: Some power supplies do not have a switch on the back ofthe unit. If the PSU you're testing does not, the fan should begin to runimmediately after plugging the unit into the wall. Turn on your multimeter and turn the dial to the VDC (Volts DC)setting. Note: If the multimeter you're using does not have anauto-ranging feature, set the range to 10.00V. First we'll test the 24 pin motherboard power connector: Connect the negative probe on the multimeter(black) to any ground wired pin and connect thepositive probe (red) to the first power line you want to test. The 24 pin mainpower connector has +3.3 VDC, +5 VDC, -5 VDC (optional), +12 VDC, and -12 VDClines across multiple pins. You'll need toreference the ATX 24 pin 12VPower Supply Pinout for thelocations of these pins. I recommend testing every pin on the 24 pinconnector that carries a voltage. This will confirm that each line is supplyingthe proper voltage and that each pin is properly terminated. Document the number that the multimeter shows for each voltagetested and confirm that the reported voltage is within approved tolerance. Youcan reference Power SupplyVoltage Tolerances for a list ofproper ranges for each voltage. I have tabulated the voltage tolerances at theend of this document. Are any voltagesoutside the approved tolerance? If yes, replacethe power supply. If all voltages are within tolerance, your power supply isnot defective. Important: If your power supply passes your tests, I highlyrecommend you continue testing to confirm that it can operate properly under aload. If you're not interested in testing your PSU further, skip to Step 15. Turn off the switch on the back of the power supply and unplugit from the wall. Reconnect all of your internal devices to power. Also, don'tforget to remove the short you created in Step 5 before plugging back in the 24pin motherboard power connector. Note: The biggest mistake made at this point is forgetting toplug everything back in. Aside from the main power connector to themotherboard, don't forget to provide power to your hard drive(s), optical drive(s), and floppy drive. Some motherboardsrequire an additional 4, 6, or 8 pin power connector and some video cards need dedicated power too. Plug in your power supply, flip the switch on the back if youhave one, and then turn on your computer as you normally do with the power switch on the front of the PC. Note: Yes, you'll be running your computer with the case coverremoved which is perfectly safe as long as you're careful. Note: It's not common, but if your PC does not turn on withthe cover removed, you may have to move the appropriate jumper on the motherboard to allow this. Yourcomputer or motherboard manual should explain how to do this. Repeat Step 9 and Step 10, testing and documenting the voltagesfor other power connectors like the 4 pin peripheral power connector, the 15 pin SATA powerconnector, and the 4 pin floppy power connector. Note: The pinouts necessary to test these power connectorswith a multimeter can be found in my ATXPower Supply Pinout Tables list. Just as with the 24pin motherboard power connector, if any voltages fall too far outside thelisted voltage (see Power SupplyVoltage Tolerances) you should replace the power supply. Once your testing is complete, turn off and unplug the PC andthen put the cover back on the case. Assuming your power supply tested good oryou've replaced your power supply with a new one, you can now turn yourcomputer back on and/or continue troubleshooting the problem you are having. Power Supply VoltageTolerances (ATX v2.2) Voltage Rail Tolerance Minimum Voltage Maximum Voltage +3.3VDC ± 5% +3.135 VDC +3.465 VDC +5VDC ± 5% +4.750 VDC +5.250 VDC +5VSB ± 5% +4.750 VDC +5.250 VDC -5VDC (if used) ± 10% -4.500 VDC -5.500 VDC +12VDC ± 5% +11.400 VDC +12.600 VDC -12VDC ± 10% -10.800 VDC - 13.200 VDC ATX pin out
  5. Wow, what a great idea, I wonder who's in first place - LOL j/k, thanks dude
  6. Keep the pics and vids coming guys. It looked really cool
  7. It would be interesting, to say the least
  8. I can give you a procedure to check the PSU with a multimeter, but it is pretty convoluted. Let me know and I will post it
  9. Man, the first place I would look is at the Power Supply. If it is on the "hairy edge" of supporting your hardware and your video card kicks in to high gear when you start the game it might be pushing it over the edge. The voltage drops below the low limit and your computer shuts down and re-boots. I had that happen to me on my old POS when I installed a new video card and didn't have the power to support it That would be my first check, after that, go through the usual things - re-seating the memory sticks etc
  10. Yeah, that is the same as I have on mine, except mine is black - good choice I love the space
  11. Please give her my condolences on her loss
  12. Damn thats good looking
  13. This beautiful woman one day walks into a doctors office and the doctor is bowled over by how stunningly awesome she is. All his professionallism goes right out the window... He tells her to take her pants, she does, and he starts rubbing her thighs. "Do you know what I am doing?" asks the doctor? "Yes, checking for abnormalities." she replies. He tells her to take off her shirt and bra, she takes them off. The doctor begins rubbing her breasts and asks, "Do you know what I am doing now?", she replies, "Yes, checking for cancer." Finally, he tells her to take off her panties, lays her on the table, gets on top of her and starts having sex with her. He says to her, "Do you know what I am doing now?" She replies, "Yes, getting herpes - thats why I am here!"
  14. A guy walks into a sperm donor bank wearing a ski mask and holding a gun. He goes up to the nurse and demands her to open the sperm bank vault. She says "But sir, its just a sperm bank!", "I don't care, open it now!!!" he replies. So she opens the door to the vault and inside are all the sperm samples. The guy says "Take one of those sperm samples and drink it!", she looks at him "BUT, they are sperm samples???" , "DO IT!". So the nurse sucks it back. "That one there, drink that one as well.", so the nurse drinks that one as well. Finally after 4 samples the man takes off his ski mask and says, "See honey - its not that hard."
  15. There was an elderly man who wanted to make his younger wife pregnant. So, he went to the doctor to have a sperm count done. The doctor told him to take a specimen cup home, fill it, and bring it back the next day. The elderly man came back the next day and the specimen cup was empty and the lid was on it. Doctor: What was the problem? Elderly man: Well, I tried with my right hand...nothing. So, I tried with my left hand...nothing. My wife tried with her right hand...nothing. Her left hand...nothing. Her mouth...nothing. Then my wife's friend tried. Right hand, left hand, mouth....still nothing. Doctor: Wait a minute. You mean your wife's friend too?! Elderly man: Yeah, and we still couldn't get the lid off of the specimen cup.
  16. There's a fine line between idiot and moron - LOL
  17. Deep vein thrombosis is a serious issue on planes, but they say you have to fly long distance to be affected. This kid must have been playing way too much and like chaz says, have an underlying issue
  18. Happy birthday Sabre Eyes. May you have many more
  19. nice
  20. A guy calls the hospital. He says, "You gotta send help! My wife's going into labor!" The nurse says, "Calm down. Is this her first child?" He says, "No! This is her husband!" I asked my mate when is it ok to have sex with girls? He said its legal once they leave school. Apparently after 3:30 isnt what he meant... I couldnt find the thingy that peels potatoes and carrots, so I asked the kids if they'd seen it. Apparently she left me yesterday... My mate just asked me what ringtone I have. I said Ive never really looked but probably light brown.... Been sitting here in anticipation of my Penis Enlarger arriving through the post, it finally came this morning, although the package seemed a little small - When I opened it it was a magnifying glass! DAMN YOU EBAY!!! Why do women have foreheads? So men have a place to kiss them after a Blowjob
  21. Famous one-liners from one of my favorite comedians. I went out and bought a present for my wife's vagina the other day.............................de-icer The doctor told my grandmother that if she walks 1 mile a day for the rest of her life she will live a long time. She started doing this a month ago. We have no clue where she is Some Amy Winehouse jokes - you knew they were coming My dyslexic friend sent me a text the other day, to tell me that there had been a death at the army warehouse Can all those mourners outside Amy Winehouse’s home please form a line? It’s what she would’ve wanted. ELTON JOHN WILL SING AT AMY WINEHOUSE FUNERAL, HE HAS RECORDED AN NEW SONG CANDLE UNDER THE SPOON whats brown and illegal in 491 countries? Amy winehouses ashes Amy winehouses dad has been told if she is cremated he will not be able to have her ashes..... they would be classed as a class A drug. mr jones gets a call from his doctor saying that he need talk to him asap, when he gets there doctor explains that there has been a mixup with his wifes records as they have got 2 mrs jones on there records, mr jones says well whats the diffrence, doctor says well 1 has alzimers and the other had aids but dont know which 1 is which,mr jones asks how he woluld be able tell the diffrence doctor says when u go home take her out and drop her off 6 miles away from home and if she turns up dont fuck her.... a bloke sunbathing stark naked on the front lawn all his got is a hat to cover his privates. 2 women walk past 1 says if you were a gentlemen you would raise your hat to us bloke says if you werent so ugly the hat would raise it self A woman arrived at a party. While scanning the guests, she spotted an attractive man standing alone. She approached him, smiled and said, "Hello. My name is Carmen." "That's a beautiful name" he replied. "Is it a family name?" "No," she replied. As a matter of fact I gave it to myself. It represents the things that I enjoy the most - cars and men. Therefore I chose "Carmen". "Whats your name?" she asked. He answered "B.J. Titsengolf."
  22. I've always heard the best way to stop a woman from sucking her thumb is to draw a dick on it
  23. I get enough circulation stomping my feet in anger when Pete kills me too much!!!
