Just completed crysis! It's an awesome game but damn it requires alot of juice from the gfx card. I bough a 8800gt just to play crysis but still that wasn't enough! It laggs so bad in dx10, had to play in dx9. Guess i didn't have to install vista after all

But the visuals are simply amazing, sometimes it feels like you are playing a movie instead of a game! The levels inside the alien "ship" were simply amazing at points.

Great game tough, will definitely have to give it another runthrough sometime when i get a new gfx

Going to try out the multiplayer now!

I don't do much modeling and i can't boast about having any skills in it either, but when i have played around some with it i found maya to be the tool that worked best for me. I have never been able to export a model to source tough, i've tried everyting! So if you are going to do source models don't go maya

I did try 3ds max in the past but i could never relly get my head around it.

I have been playing some with XSI to, not much but i like it so far. And it seams to be a very good tool for poly modeling.

I must say that this is coming along relly nicely. Keep up the great work!

Very nice game, i can only run at medium with my crap 256mb x1950xt so i decided to get a new one

Pre-Ordered a 8800GT! Costs only 2100 SEK, about ~$300 with the super low dollar value.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

What he said!

Just completed portals to! Great game, very funny and well made. Though it were a bit easier than i tought it would be

I think it was great, definitely much better than ep1. Havn't tried portals yet. think i may do that now

Hard drive: s-ata HD 160 GB (plus my 75 GB one from the old machine)

Where to put all the pr0n?

It looks relly cool from what i've seen and it's coming for the PC! So i will definatley take a look at this one

Sweet stuff, i love em

Omg! I see eJay on nexus desktop

Ok, so i've been looking all around the web on how to do this and i can't find any working method. I've tried using the tool made by Prall but doesn't seam to work.

I tried to find any information on how to use the export tools supplied with the Source SDK but couldn't find anything.

I'm running the 8.5 version of Maya. If anybody knows how it's done i would be verry happy if you could share that information with me.

Worst case scenario i'll have to learn XSI instead, since this is what valve uses and i guess it works way better

Looks cool. Don't have tf2 tough so can't test it.

Ok, np. I can add a little comment on every part i chose so that you know why and such. If you would like to look around at some reviews i would strongly recommend you to check out some hardware sites, these are a bunch of good sites:

I have built most of my friends computers and i've built the one i'm currently using. I put that one together pretty quick but it's good quality parts and the airflow in that case is good.

And with windows supporting many cores i can't relly say that it does it well.

Yeah you are right, it's closer than i thought

I concider quad core to be more of an "e-penis" thing. I have no proof to back this up but i do think that the majority of games coming out atm won't have support for quad core but i could be wrong.

You can get a quad for about 700 SEK extra, but the speed is a tad bit slower on each core.

Or you could go for this if you want a faster dual core.

haha, now i relly wan't to play it. Maybe i'll get a ps3 when they are a tad bit cheaper.

And nice ending yes, i laughed pretty hard

Where do you live? I could give you some advice on what parts to get from a online computer store where you live.

DELL has good computers, but the choices they give you while configuring is crap imo.

Edit: You're from sweden? So am i if that's the case, you should buy a computer from komplett.se or datorbutiken.se and then build it yourself, they do have som packages to that are way more worth the money than the dell computers.

I would not use Vista, i would wait and upgrade to it when the dx10 games actually comes out, i've noticed a very big different in dx9 games when i changed back to XP from Vista.

Edit 2: I put together a little something from komplett, it's got almost everyhing exept the gfx card, mouse, keyboard and speakers.

Yeah, that is definitely a nice TV. I'm not sure how big it is, could be a 40" full hd (KDL-40W2000)? In Sweden you can get it for roughly $2200, (~15000SEK).

I've been interested in this book for a while. Think i may order a copy now that i've decided to go more serious with my level deisgn
