"Only a place as big as the internet could be home to an ego as large as Crashman's!"
HMM
Indeed your ego is quite big, but your brain quite small. You only look at the small picture while you ignore the large. The suggestion you made is quite good. But the fact that you have to go and belittle mine isn’t.
His question was.
The last two months I've gotten really interested in building another pc. My old pc was fried, and I've been using my laptop for about 6 months now as my main system. All the hub-bub about HTPCs has brought that into my focus tho. While I want a system that I can use for everything from tv, to watching movies, and playing music, I also want a system that can play today's massively demanding games (quake 4, wow, hl2, etc). Would it be possible to fit that kind of machine into a htpc case? Or should I build a system for gaming and other needs now, and wait to build a pc thats JUST a htpc. Also, any cases to recommend?
An HTPC case can be anything; it is just up to the users preference. I choose a shuttle because; they are widely accepted as an appropriate HTPC. I have built many of them they are reliable and a stable platform for gaming. I personally have 3. One for Gaming, one for and HTPC, and one for just general use. There is nothing wrong with shuttles, sure they are a little expensive but they are well worth it.
You should also know you don’t need much for a gaming rig. You don’t need SLI and you don’t need an expensive processor. You can build a gaming rig that plays BF2 or HL2 with very little. A Celeron, 1 – 2 gigs of ram, a good video card, and good motherboard accomplishes this fine.
This line of though leads me to a question.
What do you do for a living Crashman?
It would be interesting to find out seeing that you think that you are god of computers. I wonder if you are an actual computer tech or just some loser flipping burgers at McDonalds. If you had one ounce of common sense you would see that my suggestion was, and is perfectly acceptable. Hey but don't listen to someone who has been a tech for 6 years with experience with Apple, Programming, and building computers since 10 years old. Listen to the donkey that knows nothing. You should know, normally I don’t like to hack and trash people in forums, but here I feel I can make the exception. The way you treat people in life will come back to you, whether it be good or bad. Just though you should know that.
I sincerely hope that in the future that you can come to be more accepting, and not cast aside others opinions. You don’t have to agree with them, but you shouldn’t trash them like you did mine.
I am sorry if this hurtful, and forthcoming but it needed to be said.
Have a good rest of the day, and a happy new year.
