Is it me or does the baddy at the end have a Geass-thing going with that glowing eye? The collar, hair-style and glowing eye reminds me of Lelouch.

So they're basically copy-pasting from Wikipedia......

At $500, it's doable. But it will probably take a little patience. As I said, out of the CPU/RAM/MB set, a Core i7 would eat about half the cost of the set. This is probably where he'll probably want to focus his search on Slickdeals. RAM will probably cost between $90-$110, depending on which kind of RAM he gets. For example: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ - Retail GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3L LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80605I7860 - Retail Total: $484.97 And the only thing on sale is the motherboard. But there are 2 socket sizes for the Core i7, LGA 1156 and LGA 1366. The 1366 is about $10 more, but it can only run up to DDR3-1066 RAM, which would drop the price a bit. It won't be high end but it you will get decent performance for mid-range parts.

Renato, you might want to have Graham talk to them. "Gentleman, Renato has been classified VWB: Valkyrie Whipping Boy. In the event of product release, all friendly corporations will immediately send their toys at Renato to calibrate their customer service systems."

It's just another tragic example of how people think all this place is a HG-bitching session. Now THAT'S a Seto-impression.

Lovely, they are making podcasts for each episode. Time to rewatch it all over again...with the commentary. I think that's the point.

Hmm... a Core i7 eats into half that budget. I'd probably stick with the low end i7s just to keep it under (Core i7-860 LGA 1156 or the Core i7-920 LGA 1366). 4GB of DDR3-1066 will cost you <$100 should you go with LGA 1366 while DDR3-1333 will probably cost you about $10 more should you go with LGA 1156. GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3L LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail - $99.99, reg. 124.99. This could probably fit into your budget.

You still haven't answered how much you intend to spend. If I shop around, look on Slickdeals.net; I could price a fairly cheap gaming system. It would help to have a price range. Concerning keyboards, I agree with mikeszekely, remapping keys work just fine for me. Having media keys is more than enough. And since my hand doesn't normally move away from the WASD-position, I have very little use for other extra keys. I find wireless to be a good choice for people who lack workspace. I have a wireless keyboard for a testing machine which is on a very very very small desk and it makes a great item when you lack surface area. But if you have the room, I would suggest a wired keyboard.

Answering #1 and #3 would help us...a lot.

What mikeszekely is saying is it's cheaper to just buy an additional 2x1GB sticks of RAM as oppose to buying 2x2GB sticks of RAM. You have the 2 GB of RAM in there already so don't bother to buy an entirely new set. Now, if you go with 4GB for your system, then you'll probably want to switch to a 64-bit OS or you will not be able to take advantage of all 4GB of RAM. The advantage of just getting the 2x1GB sticks is you can save the extra 1GB stick for later and just go with 3GB total in your system.

Hulu has 'em up the day after they air now. The sad part is, there's probably a Farmville V-world out there...

There shouldn't be a difference in performance. Agreed. An current G-router might be prudent if you don't have the funds. I still see a few draft-N routers on the shelves that should really go away since the N-spec was ratified in Oct. 2009. But it may be a while before those products make it to market.

Saraphys, Pizza the Hutt, you guys apparently have a history so I'll advise you 2 take it to PM or leave the history on those other sites.

I'm not a fanatical fan (or even a fan), but I just want Robotech to come up with its own designs and narrative instead of pulling, promoting, and fan-wanking from a bunch of near-30 year old cartoons.

Kinda/sorta. The Studio Nue-ST powered armor is has more round limbs. It's probably the head since the heads look about the same.

Well, kresphy already posted a Tudou link to the whole season: http://www.tudou.com/home/item_u8838687s0p1.html Now get watching.

Think of it this way, you weren't meant to have ANY Macross toys (which means 1 more for the rest of us).

Yes. It's currently in development.

I won't look too deeply into his post. It's just trolling bait.

Being heavily financed by corporations doesn't mean it wasn't a democracy. They're were probably other corporations with their own agendas considering Galaxy was a technology hub. General Galaxy covered the majority of the construction costs but it does say corporations were involved with with it's support and planning.

Ummm, wasn't 1 of the 2 missions where you face Ghost was a training session and the 2nd time you face a Ghost, you're suppose to be flying a better fighter by then?

So he's buttering up the childish response of "you're all stupid". I like this Azrael-guy. We're like...sooo alike.

Frontier didn't feel as jumpy as Zero did. Zero could have used an extra 5-minutes/episode. The pacing of Frontier didn't really feel THAT awkward. It actually felt fairly normal.

MG Wing Gundam Oh yeah and HG Gundam X Now if only they would have jumped to a MG Gundam X, then I would be giggling like a school girl.

Then I suggest you retract or it's going to be just Liar rather than Lying Macross Purist. Oh, and since this project is over, there's no more use for this thread.
