Case Modding & Cooling / A good quality WC kit?

« on: May 14, 2008, 08:53:01 PM »

Could someone either list the parts or tell me an all-in-one WC kit that isn't going to break the bank but provides excellent performance (noise isn't too much of an issue...)

LAN & General Gaming / The Awesomest Gaming Experiance possible!

« on: May 14, 2008, 08:42:11 PM »

Ok, now the majority of gamers I know like Anime as well as video games. I recently got hooked on anime and went to my first con (NoBrandCon) and the game room was awesome!!! We had torunaments, lan and etc. and I coul dhave pulled off 2 all nighters if I wanted... it was just too much fun!!! Rockband was what I played the most but the tournaments were still kickass.

In COD4: I got second place
Halo 3: I picked a bad partner who got owned so much that the opposing team got half their score before I found them ... bad luck on my part too!... eliminated first round

GH3: I made it to the finals (because there weren't enough for people to get booted)... and was eliminated in the first round on Expert, on Medium it might have been different!
