  1. I thought maybe it was a screamer but I was wrong. It was amusing.
  2. yeah it's from Reno 911. In other words it's fake. That's one of my favorite sketches though.
  3. Here's my current one on my new rig. Well WWII planes seem to be pretty dominant on my rigs. Plus that painting. I can't seem to find a good tank one. Say like a Tiger or a british Crusader. That or a Russian T34-85. *actually, it ended up being and Acura RSX Type-S and a Civic Si. I had to change it. Orange just ain't the right color for a desktop.
  4. I've used the same XP home cd to install on 3 computers (one the disc was liscensed to) with out any problems so just buy one off ebay. All you'll have to do is call MS activation number and tell them you own the liscense to them but do not have the original disc and they'll give you the activation code. Worked on the Compaq and my friend's HP. Oddly enough the internet activation still worked even after I had to reinstall windows on this system. Repair installed first for new mobo, cpu but things weren't working right so I reinstalled. It still saw it as the correct computer. Any way, any XP
  5. This is a funny number. Unfotunately the last registered user is a spammer.
  6. Ok, if you have the latest Windows 9x drivers from nVidia, they should be 81.98. This is what the properties should look like. Also incase you don't know how to bring it up there are 2 ways. 1. Right click your desktop and there should be nVidia Displays. Highlight it and it should either say Default Monitor or your actual monitor (in the case of the Xplorer it says Acer AL1917, the Gateway says Chuntex / CTX Monitor or something like that and the Compaq says Dell M991). or 2. Right click your desktop then click proerties. Then clcik the setting tab. Then click the Advanced button. Then click
  7. I'll be obliged to give em a .303 right up the hind end for you marty.
  8. $375 plus $24 shipping. I think that is roughly the same Black Friday 2005 price at Wally World. Essentially it's a fairly new laptop that's not even 1 year old that has already been upgraded, plus has massive upgrade potential. So in a year I drop some extra cash into it and I have a Turion 64 or maybe a Turion 64 X2 plus more RAM so the thing lasts another year till my dad drops $2000 on a brand new one (Alienware, Falcon NW, VooDoo, iBuyPower, or CyberPower). He said when I leave home for college (UT Martin) he'll buy me the , and now this is an actual quote from him, "whoop ass laptop".
  9. actually that nVidia properties is the same no matter what version of Windows you use. It looks exactly the same in 98SE. P.S. I knew you were using ME anyway. *here's a pic from an older 7x.xx series (I think) driver in Windows 98SE. **I'll install newer drivers and show you them.
  10. it's probably cause your drivers for AGP are missing. Open your nVidia options and see what it says your on. If your AGP drivers are missing, it'll say PCI, if they are there it'll say 4x. If you are using nVidia's 9X.XX series drivers I think you'll have to switch it to classic view to see this. *sorry I was a bit vague. Here's a picture.
  11. HEY! I have that desk. The one on the side. I got mine from wally world but I only have one side platform. Plus I had to duct tape the keyboard platform in place cause it kept falling off the rails. Nice looking workbench. It looks way better than the benchs at my favorite computer shop. He never painted them or nothing.
  12. Well as some of you know I'm in college and I'm finally getting a laptop for it. I guess I don't really need one but then again I can't read my own hand writing so it'd be good for notes . I don't have it yet but it'll be here in the next week or 2. I got it on eBay. It's nothing special. It's an HP Pavilion ZE2308WM. Specs According to the auction it has 512MB of RAM and not 256 like the specs page says. Also according to a page I read on hard forums this little booger has great upgrade options. Supposedly it supports Turion 64 processors and though the specs page says it can handle 1GB the
  13. I just use the windows XP standard on both my machines after having an FX 5700 Ultra burn up cause it was always in 3d mode witht the old screen saver I was using. It was AMD's Escape! screensaver. So I quit using 3D screensavers. Except on my 150MHz Pentium MMX laptop. All it has are 3d screen savers so I just use flying objects. Plus if I had 3D screensavers on my main system, it'd constantly sound like a jet in my room. GeForce 7600GT's have notoriously loud fans and I have 2 of em.
  14. And you said you weren't good with car pictures. You just needed the right angle. You are good witht them.
  15. that's great man, your lungs should be close to healed and working at full capacity soon. My manager at work dropeed both smoking and drinking in within 6 months. He spearheaded smoking. First he dropped it all together but was dipping to get the nicotine then dropped it a week later. He was sick for a few days so we were kinda flyin' by ourselves there for a few days. Keep it up and don't start again. rock on pal.
  16. of course you know Animal Planet is running a marathon in his honor.
  17. I guess the angle of the car was just right. Plus I love how that ambience you chose makes the scratches and scrapes lool like it's just part of it and not on the car.
  18. We used to watch him all the time. It sad to see him die like this. It blew one of my co-workers away. I always figured a salt croc woulda got him.
  19. THank you very much for your hard work. I appreciate it. It looks great and I LOVE IT! Way better than my sorry MS paint one. Thanks!
  20. well I can't upload in a PM and image hosting sites keep reducing the size so I 'll just attach it here. When you save it let me know. THen I'll delete it. Also the plate is out of date anyway. THere is a different plate on my car now but still blur it when you make the pic please.
  21. I may just have to snap some new shots. I have a shot from a different angle but I'd like some "imperfections" shopped out on it (scuff on bumper, dents in rear fender, scratch + dent on end of door and front of the rear fender). Then I have just a few other shots.
  22. wow really? masscool is on the great list. Ever since one of their HSF's nearly let my old processor fry (pushing 70 celcius) I never dealt with them again. A cheapo Coolermaster saved the processor. FSP is not on the great list? Come on. I got a 450W FSP powering my dual 7600GT setup just fine. Other than those 2 things bugging me, it looks great man.
  23. have you saved the picture yet? I'd like to delete the attachment cause the truck's licsense plate is showing.
  24. in a lot of games, usually in the options there is choice of which audio device you want to use for that game. I know for sure Flatout 2 does that and many others do to. In fact used every game had that seems like.
