Yesterday I reinstalled UT2004, BF2 and BF2 Special Forces. Surprised to see servers still full for UT and SF too.

Bit of a nostalgia trip. I don't buy many games but the ones I have last

6+ years and counting since release lol

edit: I've also bought Bad Company 2, eve online, the original quake, tribes and tribes 2, and some other new games I haven't really played yet

They NEED to make another Tribes game bad. Tribes: Ascend is coming out but its XBLA and PC only so i assume its some cut down version of a game since its on XBLA

It's multi-player only - which won't necessarily be a bad thing. I loved Tribes: Vengeance so as long as it keeps the same game-play but has stunning visuals I'll be happy.

I tend to charge £40-50 for a system build. maybe more depending on what the client wants and how long it takes me to finish the job.

How much is your time worth? As Freedom stated, depending on what is asked of you and how well you know the person the machine is for, the price can vary. I typically don't charge very close friends (best mates) but if it's friends of friends, or friends of family then I'll explain my charges. HUH! Sound like a Gigolo.

Apparently Modern Warfare 2 for PC is £3 in currys at the moment. Now I know it's not exactly a classic but I played one of the free steam weekends and it looks like a good enough timewaster and probably worth £3. Anyone got it already?

(source was HotUKDeals).

edit: i would charge £10 per hour it's not going to take you more then 2-3 hours right? maybe install OS too.

remember that unless your doing 4ghz+ You should be okay with any recent AMD chipset even the low end, as chipset matter surprisingly little on AMD chips

MightyMission · Jun 21, 2011

VRM's are very important with AMD,i would ensure that the mobo has _at the very least_ 4+1 phases on the power regulation,and a heatsink.If you are 100% that your pal will not overclock then its not such an issue

Asus M4A89GTD PRO, AMD 890GX Socket AM3 DVI VGA HD...
this one is a good mobo,and i understand it will be able to take a bios flash and accept bulldozer cpu's so it has some shelf life you know.(8+2 VRM's and heatsink)
It's around the same price as the one you specced.
this is looking well for the same money too

Most Phenom II 555's 3.2ghz BE (dual core) will unlock to a quad core 955 with just a button on the mobo.roughly half the price too....
