Building a Computer in Hardware, Internet, Networking, Comms and Security
Yes, I suppose you are right. I just don't have the patience and I like thoroughly thinking things through before I get what I need in order to get something. (If that made any sense :lol:)

Nintendo Wii in Gaming
Just heard this a little while ago.

I may consider getting one, actually. :) I'm going to do some more reading for now and watch some videos.

Thanks for the info. ;)

Building a Computer in Hardware, Internet, Networking, Comms and Security
After a long while of thinking it over. I've decided to save every penny I make from here on in, to go towards my new personal computer. I have a couple hundred dollars to help me get started. I just need to work whenever the opportunity comes, which fortunately is quite often. I should have raised enough money by I'd say... 3 months at the most. That should be well over $2,000.00 CDN.

So, what it all comes down to -- what I want this computer to do. I want this computer to do basically everything. I am a huge gamer, but cannot play anything remotely fun on this pc right now. I play Battlefield 2, but I have to use the lowest settings. So, I want to have a killer graphics card that will not be outdated any time soon. I also want 2GB of RAM and a CPU that won't be outdated any time soon, as well. I want a HDD that has at least 500GB of space on it. I recently upgraded to 160GB of space and I used that up in like 2 weeks. A few case suggestions would be appreciated too. :) Nothing too pretty, or too simple. B) Let me know what I forgot to include as well and please suggest which I should consider getting. :)

I am from Canada, so please, no newegg links! :P Unless they changed their policy. :lol:

I have my mind made up for a monitor, keyboard and mouse. So that isn't really needed. :)

Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

Forum Software in Software
IPB has free versions, but I'm not sure about vBulletin.

My favorite free forum software would have to be SMF.

New Monitor in Entertainment, Film and Music, Mobile devices and media
I still haven't bought a new monitor. $2,000.00 can go fast. I still don't know what the hell I bought that wasted $2,000.00. XD

Anyways, it's either the LG or the Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW.

http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_UltraSharp_24...38.html?tag=lst

Around $200.00 cheaper than the BenQ. Same size too and nothing but good reviews. :)

Which would you guys go for?

I'm a BF2 fanatic, so I hope either monitor should be able to work wonders with the game. I also want it to view videos well and all that.

Next, I'll upgrade my CPU and my graphics card. Have to play BF2 on the lowest settings. :(

My father is 48 right now, he smokes and has done drugs when he was younger. I have a feeling he's going to go soon. My mother is right behind him, as she's been overweight her entire adult life.

Hope all is going well for you, Chris.

New Monitor in Entertainment, Film and Music, Mobile devices and media
4 inches, really.

When I measure 4 inches, that is a huge difference.

I'm going for the 20.1\" anyways. I spent most of my money already on an iAudio and what not.

FEAR in Gaming
Got the full version sometime in June I think it was.

Game it great. PC isn't so great though. :( Have to play on minimum settings in order to play at all.

I wanted something huge to replace my current monitor and I think this is the way to go.

I also have this in my site just in case I am wanting something else and don't want to blow a grand on a single thing:

Which side are you leaning towards?
