  • I have been looking for a great guild (community) for years! It is one of the hardest choices to make! I am extremely excited to have stumbled upon this post. I am absolutely going to join! I can't wait!
  • I'm sorry, I do appreciate everyone's help. I emphasized quiz's help as helped me get back into the gaming pc world with all of his advice in the past. I didn't mean to take away from anyone else. I truly do appreciate everyone's help.
  • Thanks for all your help. Thanks Quiz, you always prove to provide great advice as well! Just FYI to all. $159 OCZ 120G SSD on sale for two days! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227551
  • I think I am going to spend the extra cash and get an SSD. I'll use the SSD as my main drive and once I get a little more cash, I will buy another SSD or 2HDD's as my alternative drive. Right now, I literally will only use this computer for a couple…
  • What is the benefit of the two drives separate from each other, reducing load on one vs the other?
  • I'm a neat freak too. Plus, I don't like germs. I always used those little alcohol wipes to clean each key and the mouse. Basically, anything that gets touched gets wiped. In addition, I generally blow out the interior with compressed air and clean …
  • I would say the sense of community in Asheron's Call. e.g., Hanging around the Arwic lifestone socializing, or trading your socks off in the hub. Those were the days!
  • Personally, I agree. I enjoy the "world" concept and truly miss the MMO's that embraced it. I remember countless days in Asheron's Call and DAoC running around exploring, staying AFK just to stay in the game, hanging around town centers, lifestones …
  • Haha. Nice. I'll never forget the time where I was playing an MMO while at college. I was in a raid and my friends called. They asked me if I could go to the dining hall with them. I said I was out and busy. However, my computer was literally right …
  • I completely agree with you word for word. End game wasn't much discussed in the past. However, today, there isn't a day that goes buy without a fierce debate or discussion on the matter. Just as you mentioned, I believe that our current generatio…
  • I agree, too. The social aspects of recent MMO's have greatly evolved, in both good and bad directions depending on how you look at it. However, for many of us, especially those who began in classic MMO's like AC and EQ, we are much more sensitive…
  • I would have to say a mix of the classic nature of Asheron's Call, high-end graphics and the features/extras that we currently see in W.o.W.
  • Originally posted by Panther2103 Well if you really care about the response time, the benQ one might be better. Since it has a 2ms response time instead of 5ms. I agree, when it comes to a monitor, response time is very important. That, along with…
  • Thank you so much for the great advice. I took a lot of the comments and made a final list of components that I am hoping to purchase tomorrow. I upgraded the MOBO and HD, and I added a the heatsink fan. I kept the CPU as the 2500 rather than the (K…
  • Originally posted by Kaneth Turbine needs to quit screwing around with DDO and LotRO, and make a true updated version of Asheron's Call. The good old days of Asheron's Call. That game was the absolute best. Man, do I miss it!
  • Originally posted by Infeareal Last time, Asheron's Call. Going out into town from my humble starter drop off location to realize it was so dark i could not see anything. Equipped a torch and wandered into the wilderness to see what I could find. So…
  • I am very interested to see how successful SWTOR and GW2 are. Currently, there is a ton of talk and hype for these games, and I think there are a wealth of players out there that are hungry for a new quality MMO. I guess we shall see in due time.
  • Forgot to add the DVD burner. Would you do DVD or Blu-ray?
  • Sorry about the links. I am not sure why they don't work, but we can get the general idea without them. Thanks so much for your advice. Total with monitor and windows is $1240ish
  • Great advice. Thanks so much. I will absolutely take a look at the HD, CPU cooler and PSU. I'll also take a look at the new screen. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it!
