I am getting a surround sound system this year, still not sure which.
Prolly a Denon reciever and the Infinity TS-750 speakers, there are a lot of deals out there on the web but some sites are really sketchy.

Good idea going for the folding stock. That's much better for mowing people down in tight quarters. :rolleyes:Quote:
Great ! ! ! Now go ahead and shoot the developersQuote:
I built this last month for my xmas present.

1GB gaming ram
3rd party copper heat sink with fan
fan on clear case forces air into cpu fan
9 fans altogether
cpu and power supply have a throttle on the front so when your not gaming its real quiet. I can drop from 5500 rpms to about 1000.
Its made a huge difference in my online first person shooter game, buddy just called today to tell me he can feel the beat down from the new machine.
He is a placebo junky so He could put a sticker on his machine and play with confidence from it. But when he upgraded his cpu and mobo he started handing me my hat, that was difficult to take. But it proved to me that its more than just a 400.00 video card, so I upgraded the entire thing.

Perhaps you can upgrade to a full t3 line? ;)Quote:

What kind of first person shootem do you play with that monstrosity?
Dont laugh until you hear me out. I have tried newer games and they all lack things. The game I play is Quake III. Yes an old game. However SPEED is NOT Capped. We have figured out how to take advantage of the physics modeling engines rounding errors. For example a runner goes 320 units per second. His rocket goes 800. By circle-strafe-jumping I can quickly get to 600. The best I have heard of is 2000 units per second. Now being a commercial pilot I LOVE the speed. I also set my FOV ( field of vision ) to 130 from 90, this makes it a bit of a fishbowl perspective but makes the speed even more dramatic.Quote:

We play only custom maps. Our site has many cool artists that churn out new custom maps, there are zillions. Fight in the sky from derigable to derigable ? Planets? Chunks of golf courses in space ?
As for the speed, they made one map that is a mile long hallway and you practice the speed there. Orange smoothie mod allows you to have realtime digital speed in your sites. I can get to 1400 but perhaps higher with the new rig. I can tell you that the new rig allows me to 'feel the force' immediate, one circle-strafe-jump and I am zinging along pretty good.
One guy in canada turned on recording-demo and caught up to his own rockets and then passed them, it was hilarious to watch.
Anyway I know most guys I am playing 5 have stopped off at our house whilst traveling the country. Last March I flew to Boston to play at the annual lan party at a hotel conference room.
Kinda geeky but fun :)
I have had both shoulders and my knee rebuilt, so the one nice thing about this virtual sport is I cannot get injured. Surgeries take a long time to get over. http://s89484635.onlinehome.us/shoulder3.jpg
Fortunately Q3 is network lightweight. Worldupdates of objects and vectors are sent to and from the server and all images and rendering is done locally on the client.Quote:

PING is KING. I nearly quit with a lousy 150 ping and terminal lag-frag.
Then came comcast cable internet :)
33 ping is awesome.

I've tried Quake years ago, I couldn't get into it. My original first person shooter is none other than DOOM, I STILL love that game. I have DOOM III at home. The game I play now is Half-Life's Counter Strike.
I agree, there is nothing like a low ping. I generally run in the 20's playing Counter Strike.
