  1. Oi, leave semantics out of this! The money involved in this is complicated, mainly because of where it's come from, so they have every right in every way to stop me from buying an expensive custom built gaming PC. Presenting research on this is the way to show that I am being responsible about it.
  2. But would, say an overclocked i5 processor be better than an i7 with watercooling? Because in the build I found, the i7 plus ASUS motherboard is cheaper. 'M on a budget, you see.
  3. Simple way's the best way, now I need an image for it. Or just wait for it to properly be in the launcher.
  4. Ha, got a 32-inch flat screen from school for free. Also no overclocking, I need lots of juice for music, but overclocking could make things noisy.
  5. AMCO back in 1.7.3 'Cause it worked with pirate Minecraft 'yarr
  6. So I recently acquired a fairly large sum of money. That apparently should be spent on a car that will sit on the drive because I go the same school my dad teaches at >.< Problem is, online banking's being a bitch and I'm unable to buy a new computer ('cause my shitty school laptop isn't giving me more than 1k view distance on ArmaII) without physically writing a cheque. This more or less means that my parents have the final say in what I will potentially spend a large amount of money on. (Understandably) Unfortunately it is in their nature to take me to PC World and buy me a prebuilt rig, that won't have nearly the right specs I need to run Cubase without any hitches. I pretty much need a gaming computer. Processing power is key, though. So I need your help to suggest the best possible deals on desktop PCs, gaming or otherwise for £800 (upper limit of £1000 as I may be able to have £200 subsidised from elsewhere). I am in the UK, in England. Please do not discuss others' posts, as I need to show my parents this thread (and similar ones on other forums) to convince them that there are other, and far better options. (Yes I will clean up OP, and I actually could spend waaaaaaay more, but cars are cool admittedly) Best one I found so far http://www.ukgamingcomputers.co.uk/hermes-i7-gaming-pc-p-98.html Huge thanks in advance, TheDarthMoogle Hooray for copypaste
  7. Whether you install DayZ or not is up to you, but ArmA II will occupy you for a long time if you dig into the enormous modding community, or find a cool server to stick around with. Rise & Fall Civilisations at War is an unbelievably underrated RTS, even more so than Supreme Commander. The ability to go down into the enormous battles and hack and slash in third person never gets old. The online community still goes strong over the weekends. Sims 2/3. I'll let you find out yourself why it takes up so much of your life. It was the house building that did it for me. Play the first three Monkey Island games. Do it now. Black & White. Peter Molyneux entire brain was expended on this series, and he made it count. Epic battles in number 2. Botanicula will have you grinning like an idiot all the way through. Much squee is to be had here. Battlefield 2142 is the best one in the series, and I'm glad the upcoming Black Ops 2 is edging towards the future too. And although it isn't a game, watch Battlestar Galactica (the new series) from start to finish, that'll replace video games for a few months until Planetside 2 turns up.
  8. It's not something you can just dive into a config file for. As I said, you should wait for a bit, or bug the author directly.
  9. I do play the ukelele, so you shall all get on your knees before me and fix my freaking technic.
  10. If you're asking this because you want the transmutation table to give, say, IC2 stuff EMC, then you are far better off waiting for IC2 support in the near future. It's messy inside that darn mod, and I have slight doubts that anyone on these forums will be able to help you with that...
  11. Hmm... I don't see what this has to do with Tekkit at all. Unless you plan on using Redpower Logic, which by my guess you aren't very good at. Go use the recruitment thread, and don't sign your posts.
  12. Information is most definitely not supposed to cross from one side the other, they work on different OSs, and half of the school side needs to be connected to the network to operate at all. I figured that including that information was irrelevant because I'm supposed to have a totally independent system here. Also, school terminals suck at running TF2.
  13. Aside from being incapable of playing technic, you are also incapable of using the search bar and reading the stickies. This thread, like many others, should not exist.
  14. Unfortunately, I am pretty much only a Tekkit player, and turtles cause an insane amount of problems there. I haven't been able to use them for so long, I can't remember whether they still crash when they leave the loaded area.
  15. Okay, problem solved! I am running on a school provided laptop, that is partitioned into a 'School' network capable side, and a 'Home' side that I'm free to put minecraft and other nonsense on. I had a look where the launcher was installing to, and it was dumping it on the 'School' side's appdata, meaning Minecraft is now available on every terminal on the school system. (I checked, login info required as usual) ...wow. Totally gonna put Tor on there now and download billions of pr0n.
  16. Less their videos, more their business practices. I'm gonna leave it at that.
  17. ...as much I don't want to feel like an ass I need to say it again. I have already done the blindingly obvious, and then searched elsewhere for solutions and similar problems. I have still not found the AppData folder, so I'm going for the 'plonk it on a USB' option instead. This ain't a common problem, however if there was a way I could find out where the launcher was deciding to unpack itself on first launch, that would be helpful. EDIT : That's a stoopid idea, as I would need to find and get rid of the old one -.-
  18. Uum. Aside from his voice being annoying, he'd done something awkward to his client meaning textures didn't spawn and I could hardly tell what was going on. Anyway, I've been mooching around the dev build, and redpower frames are A. sexy, and B. perfect for this. No pics, as I got lonely and switched back for some SMP
  19. I was going to ask some questions, but that would be silly of me. Get a bug report here stat.
  20. Unable to play SINGLEPLAYER because the SERVERS ARE DOWN. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
  21. Sweet! Hadn't thought of that...
  22. Running Windows 7 here, sorry for leaving that out.
  23. I've had a painful run-in with these guys, but what's the warning for the rest of us for?
