my dad's the worst for eating at the computer... i'll come down in the morning, and there'll be half a packet of nuts spewed all over the keyboard - his defence is that its dark. WHAT? can't you see your mouth? idiot.
have you created proper cue points? that is the most likely reason for a sound not looping.
yeah... my mum's computer had a stock PSU in it (built by fujitsu) and it bust, so they changed it free for "the world's loudest PSU"
I am so grateful!
you'll be watching a cool film, and all you here in the background is-
[b]MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....[/b]
it can get quiteannoying!
Guys at local tech shop recommened the Blue Storm - and I had a look / fiddle with it - nice and heavy, and nice to have 'strengthened' cable jackets...
...BUT I JUST WANNA USE MY NEW COMP NOW!

yeah, i was coming to that conclusion....
im looking at either a Blue Storm 500W
or
an Antec TruePower II 550W
any personal recommendations? I don't want any really cheap crap - but I don't want to spend a fortune either. Around ?60-?120 is what Im looking at. Cheers

whoa, that went quick! If some1 wants to start it off again with another object - you're welcome!
i don't eat at the computer - we all know what that leads to...
...However, I do have a water cooler next to my computer, which supplies me with ample ammounts of that wonderful stuff we call "water"
Imo, nothing beats a cold glass of water after a hectic HL2 level - or a quick burst of CS:S.

erm... no and no, but thanks anyway!
the weird 12V connector is for 12V power to the mobo, its a new feature i think in mobos - for best power usage - apparently!
i booted up my computer with new graphics card - a warning came up one screen saying I must connect the a cable to it.
would this work?
or should I just get a new PSU?

also, my new graphics card has a 6-pin ATX connector?? not a four pin. i was like wtf! ive never come across this before - any ideas?
EDIT: oh yeah, btw - its a X850XT PE PCI-E

yeah, its possible, although you would have to model / find a 'clay pigeon' model. then just use the gib shooter entity in hammer 3.5, and find the location of your 'pigeon gib' just make sure you include the gib in your models folder in any mod.
i think it could also be done using the same method, but using a model_entity, - although not quite sure which,... can't remember them all!
check entity list here for more details. maybe combining a func_push with a model, would the propel it a good distance.

ok, then ignore my previous suggestions. cable modem/routers are harder to find... although it is just the router you want, or do you want a combo?
44) A frisbee

26) place a piece of paper inside the colinder, then put some paint on top, and spin it, so pretty patterns are made!!

Can we think up 101 uses for the famous Salad Spinner?
Ok, so this may seem just a little bizarre, but it could be fun. TWHL looks with utter disgust
I was looking at our Salad Spinner this evening (as you do) and within three minutes had thought up around 10 possible uses. What I need is the contribution from everyone here, to use their imagination to the upmost extend, and help me finish the list.
Here's was I have so far:
1) Salad Spinner
2) Helmet (minus inner colinder)
3) Bowl
4) Clothes washing machine
5) Face mask (inner colinder only)
6) Potato bruise remover - by placing potato onto spike in centre and using knife to remove offending bruise.
7) Storage unit
8) Hamster Cage
9) Minature boat
10) Fan - by rotating 'arms' quickly while top removed
So there you have it, a good start. Now im trying to limit this to vaguely serious objects, and no doubt this sentence will be quoted within a short period of time!
Think hard - and please contribute to this unique challenge (and please label your uses if you do!

well, old stuff is definately build better than modern stuff, so you probably got another 2-3 years on it!
I would personally go for the BELKIN ADSL MODEM with WIRELESS-G
I picked up one from PCWorld for bout ?45.00, and its great, reliable, and secure. Range is excellent to, although I chose the better pci card -that is also another factor, whether to use USB or PCI. PCI is better by far imo, coz its in your case, so it ain't gonna messed about with, signal is usually better, and they are normally cheaper.
However, please answer this one question before even considering any of these routers:
[i]ADSL or CABLE[/i]
without this info, no1 can help you...

Whoa, thats a pretty vague question there! Can you be more specific? Wireless, how many ports, range (if wireless)
As for ???, its not worth getting a cheap one, coz all ur buying is a piece of crap. Stick to manufactures such as Netgear (although not always a good idea + crap support) Belkin (i have one of those, free support, great unit) or LinkSys (they don't exactly look the part though
!)
Also, are you ADSL or cable?

great! Who says poking things is never a good idea! Good 'ole motherboards - they just keep on going
might try and sell my old kit on ebay, mobo + cpu together, might be able to get a few bob off it.
EDIT::::
Another question:
As already stated, im using an ASUS A8N32-SLI, but it has really weird connections for the PSU. I have tried the PSU and ASUS website to no avail.
My PSU has a 20-pin mobo connector, and all the other usual crap, ie, 4-pins, 3pins,.... , etc, etc
The motherboard has a 24-pin connector, an unusual 4-pin connector - not that used by common IDE devices. Also, there is an EZPlug, but I know what that is for (SLI PCI-E configs)
So which do i use? The 20pin of my psu will go into the 24-pin mobo connector, but obviously there are spare pins. I also have the weird 4-pin connector, and on the mobo its labelled "ATX12V"
All the other is wired up OK, i think! Just may need to swap some poles for the reset and LEDS, etc.
thanks a bunch

yeah, also atleast you dont have to worry so much, its like only ?45, todays components are so expensive - when I put this together, Ill be using gloves and a pair of tweezers!
...actually - that probably isnt a good idea!

hey, this seems the place to post it:
im been searching for a while for a program that creates chapter marks, but without having to recode EVERYTHING!!! not sure if its even possible, but if anyone knows?.... thanks

45? what, did you make it yourself? 
yeah, im looking forward to that - hopefully compile times will be improved a littele - what with my mapping improving some what, they take somewhat longer than they used to.
Im still waiting on the processor - had graphics card for bout a week, and mobo came this morning... so hopefully will put together next weekend. will keep peeps updated on how it goes - or how it doesn't go! Fingers crossed about my heatsink + cpu fan as well

i can here attempting to use Hammer 3.5 to map for source - it took 2 weeks for me to realise why I was getting:
"map not found" error!!!
HAH - LAUGH AT ME NOW!!!!!
...i think i found it from a member that linked to it from another mapping site - just can't remember who now

Hah! that must have been fun. i could make another computer out of spares left of upgrades, and pulling a few pieces out of my new comp - 1 stick of ram, a hard-drive - but whats the point? Id rather have one aced out comp with top specs than two medium.
All left now is to change screen - another ?400 investment!
...man, computers are an expensive hobby!!

HAH! 250W? Ok, cheers guys. yeah, im not using an SLI setup, just a X850XT PE. I know they're not that expensive (PSUs that is) but in my mobo manual, it said for Athlon 3000+ onwards, you should have a 450+ watt PSU.
...and yeah - "wtf, alex read the manual?"

I know this may not be the best place to ask... i just ain't member of anywhere else.... yet!
At the moment, I have a 400W PSU, and it ran my old Sempron 2600+ just fine, along with usual AGP ATI, 3pci's, etc, etc.
However, Ive just upgraded major to X2 4400+ and A8N32-SLI mobo, not yet put together, and just wondering if you think my PSU will handle it? It is worth trying, or getting a new one.
I do have another PSU, 300W, so I was also thinking also using both, although a bit more messy!!
Thanks for your feedback!

Unecessary, huh?do you hammer 3.5 on there? try loading that if so....
yeah, 3.5 is great - definately no more trouble than 3.4. also pointfiles are done better, with 3d view support for .pts and .lins. also, model support is useful, although not all models... 
stephen hawking's speech? speech?
make one, or get some1 to make one. otherwise, make a prefab... just don't dl one, they suck, and always cause errors.
It will be the same as it was for Columbus - he left in search of spices, never dreaming of making the discovery of oil, - a totally new concept that would revolutionise the world. It didn't happen immediately, but if he had not gone there, who knows how long it would have set the human race back. Ok, so it would have given us another 50+ years of oil, but who's counting!
I think this will be the case for the pioneers of space exploration - something phenomal will be discovered that was never intended.
