suprised no one's interested. anyways, bump. anyone got some posters???

man, blue's where it's at. too bad all the batteries are probably completely dead.

10% is good if you buy all your own parts, which would equal around 750$ (sorry to burst your bubble). i figured the numbers based on an 8800gts 320, an e6750, a high-end mobo, three fans, 4 ddr2 sticks, one sata hd, a soundblaster w/ front bay, dvd-rw, dvd-rom, and one pci card (additional). and 10% capacitor aging. i got about 357w, and i agree with that number. make sure you picked the right cpu/graphics card. most of that crap in your OP is glam anyways, it's all included on the motherboard or whatever anyways.

i just started chapter six today =) check out this site. remember that the number they come up with is no more than what you'll need, so add in 200w for good measure. also take effiency into consideration. i'm thinking that a 500-600w psu should work well for your system. this should help. i'm thinking that the antec and the seasonic look good. note that this limits you to 550w - if you want to think about 500w psus as well, this'll help, but you need to ignore the psus under 500w.

fix'm and sell them, man. that'll get you some cash =)

i updated it. you've got cpu, motherboard, and graphics cards completely done now. as a whole, i've cleaned up a few things, and i proofread the first part of the cpu stuff. so, you've got 2.1-4.6.1, and i've edited a few things so i need to update the OP. comments? there's a lot of stuff in the gfx section, and since i'm not much of an ati guy i don't really know a ton about those cards.

it's the heat that'd cause a fire, not a circuit overload. most surge protectors are poorly made and radiate a lot of excess power as heat energy.

this is incredibly funny! i particularly like the one that entails getting a back and foot massage =)

yeah, i wanted a user opinion rather than a google definition. thanks, i'll have to try it out.

you should probably compare it against the chiptune off of zophar's domain just in case. but have at it! send me your wip when you've got something.

can you give me more info on this transcode thing? because i'm definitely interested in an easier way to stream to my tv.

whatever bass you can get is fine at first. don't spend a lot in case it's just a fad =) which it can be, i know it was for me. just get a little practice amp - no bigger than maybe 30 or 40 watts - for getting used to it. you might want to get a 1/4" to 1/8" converter to allow you to use your ipod headphones with your amp so you can practice at night or when you don't want to disturb other people. that 1&3 thing was a little thing i picked up, and it's pretty fun to do, isn't it? notation and theory helps no matter what because it helps with harmonies and making cool-sounding vocal lines from simple chord structures. you learn what fits where pretty quickly.

is there a chance we can have all of the different thread titles stuck on the site as an easter egg somewhere?

so, i should update people as to what's going on. soundtest and his roomy at my alma mater, sloopygoop, are both working hard on their tracks - soundtest is nearing completion with a really interesting, somewhat avant-garde electronic track that i feel is really fitting the mood. sloopy's just getting started on a chiptune track of either mabe or choose your name. level 99 got me a wip right before he got his tonsils out, so he's been in and out of consciousness lately. haven't heard a lot outside of that, so let's keep getting mixes into me so that i can keep filing away finished tracks =)

transcode 360? does it play matroska? edit: did you say 'computer more powerful'???

did you know that you can post those videos 'inline', so that you can watch them straight from the forum?

don't be an ass, damned, he's a noobie and doesn't know that most people who post videos here get their asses kicked. that said, it's a decent video. but you shouldn't pimp it so hard when it's not, like, dragon song crystallized into a video orgasm.

there's a lot out there. i'd suggest starting with musictheory.net. there's a lot of material there that can be useful if you put in the time. learn and practice scales, learn 'the box' (google it), and you'll be ripping it up in no time. stay away from open strings when you can. not that you can't ever use them, but learning to play up the neck will teach you a lot more than playing songs that are half on open strings. it'll come with time. took me a while too. eventually, you can do some simple strengthening excercises like pushing down against the edge of your desk with your first and third finger (in a nice rounded position, no straight fingers), then flopping. nothing too strenuous - don't give yourself carpal tunnel - but just a light push. round your fingers so your palms are parallel with the desk. promotes good hand position. you can do it with both hands, too, since it'll help strengthen your right hand and increase endurance (probably my biggest issue generally). another good one is to tap the first two or three fingers of your right hand in order (not at the same time) against your desk lightly at a decent speed (about four taps a second...time it with the clock in the room). really lightly, don't attract attention. see how long you can keep it up before your arm starts on fire =) another endurance thing. eventually you can increase the pressure and do it against your leg or something. the trick is to NOT do it faster and faster, but to stick with that time limit. it'll prevent you from speeding up when you play.

there's a lot of good stretches you can do to help your reach and hand strength. one that i do all the time is to curl in your first and third finger as far as you can, then uncurl them and curl in your second and fourth fingers...rinse and repeat. it's surprisingly tiring, and it really helps reach a four-fret gap when you're playing low =)

taucer'd kick your nerd ass, kyle. he's circus material, a certified freak show.

not even kidding - the book 'guitar for dummies' is an excellent way to get into guitar. the same guy wrote a bass book, too - i'd look into that. pretty much, learn some music theory and start playing along with the radio. that's how i started. edit: also, your sig links are broken cause they're all run together.

dunno if i've mentioned this before, but with all the talk of soundtracks by ocr people i figured i'd mention this. novo interactive is producing a game called Ye Olde PANIC which i'm the composer for. it's all high-energy electronica with a strong fantasy element...and there's a demo that i did available here. it's a sorta top-down action game with a similar battle mechanic to fable 2. there's a bunch of stuff available on their site to get you pumped. it's going to be an XBLA game, so it'll be cheap...and it already looks AMAZING. the amount of work that's already gone into it is immense.

it's a setting in your control panel. go to edit options, and about halfway down is 'thread display mode'. set it to linear - oldest first.

did you even read my opinions? basically, no. it's not worth it. the game's way too long, and unless you're obsessed with jrpgs like a certain shtyjdgfgt, you'll hate it.

cause kyle's a nub.
