Post Woot!
Yay! Finally got all my computer pieces together today, so me and Mole had a go at building it... and as you can see, it works! Though for some reason the Floppy drive won't initialise on booting, so I have to tell it to ignore it. But before I started with the building it was being gay and refusing to format my floppies anyway, so I think it may be on it's way out. *shrugs*

but yeah, anyway, BnW2 with full top quality graphics, here I come! :D Thanks again for the help you guys gave me with choosing components :D

cool, congratulations. Glad you got it. Getting it on the first try is quite a feat as well. The first couple boxes I built I spent at least a day trying to get the stupid thing working.

And because of that, I uninstalled and reinstalled the router, and our login and password doesn't work, and neither does the default.

So, I thought that's it, fuck this peice of shit ass router, and bought me a lynksis.

EDIT: Oh, and just who got it working? *prods caz* Who?! AY? WHO!? I'M YOUR DADDY BITCH! *ahem* No I'm not.

edit by pev: Im your daddy biatch.

lol dont blame you derf.

PCI express GeForce 6600 256mb with TV out. Slightly better than my GeForce 4 MX 440 64mb with TV out ;) hehe.

Strangely enough, when I bought the old computer, I was told the graphics and sound were integrated. Sound turned out to be true, but the graphics weren't. There was an integrated graphics chip in there, but there was also a proper card, which is the one I was using. Considering the problems I had with that company I say "yay, i screwed 'em out of a graphics card! Up yours!"

hey yea, since that new area is up, we could all get together as a group and do some of that if you want. I've got my monk, elementalist and warrior all there. Unless you pansies aren't that far into the game yet. :p

Seriously though, I'd love to get a Clankiller GW day going. Throw out some times/days and let's make it happen. (have class tomorrow until noon, btw).

Sounds good to me. Tried GW very briefly last night... full settings, 4x anti aliasing.. omg. It looks and runs good enough that I'm almost tempted to start playing it again properly!

edit: my ranger is as far as the infusion (got bored at that point) so she can get pretty much anywhere. dont think ox has a char though. yet.
