Only a couple weeks to go

And I still need to get some kind of game! I've never been good with PC controls either (press 20 keys at once? You've got to be kidding me!), so I have to (attempt to) learn that too

BF1942
UT Anthology
(are all on 2 for £15 in game at the mo)

On the way:
COD4
Company of heroes
C&C 3

Slightly unrelated note, when were there can I borrow someones UT Anthology or UT2K4 disk?

Cause Mine still works to play the game, but the install part of it seems to be corrupt or something?!

+ as my main pc is gonna be nuked this week, im gonna need to install everything from scatch

JK Ferret · 01-08-2008, 03:33 PM

I'll be getting my ticket when I get paid, next weds, or I'll run out of food money.

And the Game in Bristol either has no 'deals' section or it's well hidden

But I'll be getting stuff on weds (again, needs money)

Anyone else having a hasty rig rebuild this weekend?

Mine is just so unstable at the moment that it needs it!

i wondered why you were buying RAM

im going to have a bit of a rejig but nothing major. reformat mainly. perhaps switcharoo a couple of case fans i dunno.. might lash my scythe mugen down with something, its a heavy bastard and if that snaps off halfway there it will knock caps off like a knife through butter and everything would be over

rastamanblues · 04-08-2008, 10:23 AM

I'm adding another hard drive into the mix, as well as going Vista-XP, which should provide me with hours of *entertainment (*Translated, swearing and generally getting angry whilst trying and prolly failing at driver installs)

+ Gotta make sure everything is secure/screwed down cause like you madduck if something comes loose inside the stacker it could pretty much wipe out everything!

MadduckUK · 04-08-2008, 10:45 AM

ill be lying it flat (so the HS is pointing up) in my boot but i dont think that's enough. zip ties from it to the psu, hdd rack, and rear fan sounds like a plan. just hope wilko sell them, they should, they sell everything...

Gerrard · 04-08-2008, 10:46 AM

Nope. My rig is stable and I'm pretty happy with the current setup. However, I will be putting a BIOS password, account password and screensaver password to hopefully reduce the chance of someone trying to nose around my system!

Will also try to remember to make a proper backup before I go as well (I'm not at all paranoid!).

I move my rig around quite frequently, so I'm not too paranoid about the structural security of it.

I'm buying RAM as I haven't quite got round to RMAing my dead stick yet... The dvd drive is up the creek and windows is taking an age to boot so something in there isn't happy. Just generally needs a reinstall!

oooh and it's the Pro stuff, it's like rockinghorsepoop to get hold of these days... yay!

/me needs to invest in an airbed - or I might just sleep in the car....

Oh and Kyle, have you got your train ticket yet?

rastamanblues · 04-08-2008, 11:35 AM

Windows key + L is a Lan MUST unless you want some form of pornographic pics set as your background as well as forum posts/emails stating you've finally come out!

Sleeping wise, as im airbedless I think its gonna have to be duvet (make shift matress) + sleeping bag combo.

Double post I know but meh!

I picked up albeit it a while ago a mixed pack of 100 or so zip ties from Tesco for either £1 or £2. Might be worth a shot? I got mine when they were doing there periodic 'themed' sales.
