Dunno why theyre sellin 'em for cheap - Good deal, though.
A 9200 should run HL2 fine. I can run medium detail at upwards of 70FPS and higher detail at around 40 FPS on my older GeForce FX 5200.

Free Radeons? Sonuds like a scam to me - It's usually fairly hard to find someone giving away computer stuff without some form of scammery attached. Depends on the site, though.
You can't enable lighting previews in the editor yet - I think we get them in the full SDK's release.
Well, you can't get those games unless you've purchased them and registered them with an account - And since you've forgotten your pass, you'll need to purchase new copies or somehow recover your password.
Er, I can't really understand much of your post, but I'll do my best to solve your problems.
Your func_door is locked most likely because you either named it or gave it a master - remove it's name or master and it will become unlocked.
Add an origin brush to your func_tankrocket - Have a look at the following tutorial:

Dunno what you're on about with 'ovsprays'.

Excellent point ;P
@IEMC: No, but you can manually make the entities if you mess around in the console enough - for example, the Magnum is weapon_357, suit item_suit, Alyx npc_alyx (methinks), etc.

Thats odd.
How loud is that HD activity noise? Louder or harsher noises can sometimes indicate a virus infection - If it's really loud and annoying, you may just have a lovely virus on your hands.
If you have the installation CD for the OS, try booting directly from that.

This is because the Material files from the Counter-Strike: Source GCFs (And used in the default setup of Hammer 4 and the SDK) are not present in Half-Life 2's GCFs. When you compile a map with these materials, it will work in CS:S, because the game is loading the CS:S GCF, while not in HL2 since its loading the source materials GCF instead, so it's looking for files that aren't there.
You should load up the HL2 content if you want to make maps for HL2 - And the following tutorial tells all about doing it:
http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&game=HL2&id=119
The alternative to this is to wait until the full SDK is released - which should be very soon.

Dunno about the flatscreens, but this standard one has been nothing but trouble.
Not yet, at least 
Yes, Dell 
Shitty monitor, tbh ;(

There aren't prefabs anymore, prop models really replaced them. You can still create them for architectural elements, though, if you want.

Get Steam, and sign in with the account you used before.
Right-click and 'Install Game.'

Oh, and they are implemented in Hammer 4.
The following diagram:

For Collector's Edition, you do.
Any reason why? If it's a BMP or something, compress it to a JPEG.
I got this "ERROR" model in place of some prop_details I implemented to my map earlier - A red error message appeared in my console notifying me that I needed to use a different type of prop entity for the specific model.
May I ask, what entity are you using to implement the cars?

So you dine on computer parts, it seems?
Sorry, that was lame.

You shouldn't unpack the models - If you've setup Hammer correctly it will look in teh GCF files for models and use files from there.
I've got that same printer!
Please don't resurrect old threads - This is quite a few months old :/.
Vot'd.
No, they were sprites.
Monster_Furniture would still spawn a model and thus render that many polys as a normal grunt monster.

No prob 
There is no HL2 fgd, atm.
With a credit card you can purchase HL2 through Steam, or you can purchase teh Retail version.
You can only obtain Hammer 4 with the purchase of HL2.

The issue is that you're applying the sky tex directly upon the box. Put the tools/skybox texture onto the box instead.
To add the sky - just go Map - Map Properties, and enter the name of the sky you want. You can see available skies by entering 'sky' in the texture filter box and finding their name - they look like skybox/sky_day_01_05lf, for example. The lf, rt, bk, up, dn suffixes need to be left off in order for the sky to work properly - they just tell the game where to apply the sky texes. You also need to leave out the skybox/ portion.
So if I wanted this sky_day_01_05, I'd just enter sky_day_01_05 in the appropriate field in map properties.

They're doing it for HL2 as well, afaik.
And updated pics if anyone's really interested.

My ideal system would be one of those Alienwares, but they're a tad over my budget...
Well, I'm mapping for it. I've got early screens of it up at Snarkpit.
Right, I just figured I'd get the point across it isn't a perfect DM mode - many people seem to think it is.
Argh. We've had to explain this to our own HL2DM team, too.
This "deathmatch" is a CODE BASE and is not a working DM mode. Players do not respawn, you do not have a player model (a decent one, anyhow), weapons aren't functioning properly, and they are held at...interesting locations.
We're coding an actual working version of DM with HL2DM - Wait a while and you'll have a decent DM mode.

Damn you guys REALLY hate Dell.
Know what? I purchased mine for about 1k USD, and it's comparable with some of the stuff available for twice that amount, save for the video card, which isn't horrible, really, just not great.
Haven't had it crash due to a problem with the computer, either, all the problems were my doing. There is nothing wrong with them, that makes them so different from the next manufacter over. It's not like they're using shoddy parts, or anything.
But to stay back on topic...
Anyone else stuck on "Anticitizen One"? 'at chapter's giving me hell for some reason. It seems like it should be really easy, too

That's the good thing about HL2 mapping - no need for the triggers with the I/O and Parent systems
If you func_door each without a trigger setup, then they will move independently.
Have each a func_door with the same targetname that's targetted by a trigger_multiple around the doors. Should work.

It comes with HL2 Steam atm. Probably Retail as well.
The full-fledged SDK will be released sometime soon, methinks. The one that comes with Steam/SourceSDK will work, though, it just takes a bit of tweaking.

Argh, noone cares about how many maps you've made - it's their quality that really counts. For example, when I applied to teh HL2DM team, they weren't interested in the number of maps I did - they wanted one good RMF file - and that they recieved.
What's with the caps, btw?
And I could certainly reinstall Hammer but it's not the program itself - it's a rather nasty driver issue.

You could do it with some clever tracktrain work, methinks.
Argh, there's a really bad line from that song we found out on IRC....G_KID knows what I'm talking about.
The loading process is slower, much slower, since levels are larger and have more shtuff in them. Of course, it's harder to notice on a faster computer.
96GHZ? Do you live in teh future?
Probably something in the range of 1.x GhZ or 900-lower MhZ.

It can import old RMFs/MAPs supposedly. I've only gotten MAP support to work.
Textures won't be converted over - you'll have to manually retexture or use replace.
