Just reading the rules of that subreddit, and apparently negative posts about someone's high-end hardware leads to ban, so those little passive-aggressive comments like "So what are you using that CPU for that you needed such a high OC?" should be bannable, because it's just a setup question. No matter what you say, the response will be "you don't need it."

Oh, and:

Damn, my knowledge has 0 credibility now. But still, I like that rule if it's enforced properly.

Look up widgitybear on twitch. Dude has a dual Xeon setup and I don't think it looks good enough to warrant that type of money spent.

Yeah, I wouldn't think so.

Left alone an 8350, i7 and i7-E would all be enough to encode quality packs.

I have just always wanted a dual brain system. Maybe I'll start doing a little 24P folding? IDK.

Jumped on the PC AC4 yet? I just finished DL'ing but wont play until late tonight. Jump on Vent/Skype for a few seconds when playing. Have some AC historical timeline type questions.

You should have seen my sports memorabilia collection as a 14yr old. Strictly top of the line. We would hassle buying for cheap and selling high on eBay starting @ 12. Keep in mind this was during 1998 when most ppl haven't used the Bay.

Really though, I only have 2 hobbies now. Computers and Fishing, so I like to experience the best gaming has to offer with computer and with my boat I love looking awesome. lol

I'm not starting up AC4 until probably next week. I'm trying to finish uncharted 2 first then will start it if I have time. I just have too many games going right now so I need to beat one before I move on.

Gotcha gotcha.

I am on my least stages of Metro and cant finish. The game is awesome and characters are keeping my attention, just don't know I can't finish it.

Just beat Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Burial at Sea was a let down. I am sort of looking forward to AC4.

Ubisoft gave a lot of love to PC gamers with this AC. We have a ton graphical options to utilize for better performance or graphical fidelity.

Let me start playing and see how it runs.

I have one of these (well, my parents) that doesnt work and was quoted $1500 to fix it. What's something cool I can do with it? I want to get it back up and running arcade games, but I have no idea how to make it happen.

I was thinking about building a PC inside of it, but I don't know how to wire up the buttons and joystick, along with the screen itself

What doesn't work about it? I know some folks who are pinball machine and arcade game fanatics with some repair skill. They're mostly into the mechanical nature of pinball machines though.

I couldn't tell you. It was sitting in our storage for some time, so it could have lots of wiring problems

Make it a kegorator and put a wii inside, replace the joysticks with a Wii u controller.

That's one thing I hate about living here, no gamers to play with. I used to love getting together, drinking, and playing. Sure we can play online but it's not the same.

Eta: coyote, you going to pick up one of those Black Friday 4k tvs to test out?

Look at the dot of TIM directly under the center of the X. It's like he put the proper amount and then said "Nah, let's put 7 times more than that."
