When I went to Vegas with my Dad in May I went to two shooting ranges and shot Sig Sauer P226 Colt M1911 M4 SCAR-L M1 Garand Thompson Then I went last Friday to a range and shot a Ruger and HK UMP .45 Have to say I loved the SCAR and Sig.

I'm sorry it has been so long but the new article is up!

The third article on graphics cards has been released! Also, for reference there is a link to Tom's Hardware which provides performance charts for graphics cards. Enjoy!

Can't. Stop. Laughing.

Ok so I suggest you do the following: 1) When you go into ventrilo make sure that the input and output device in the setup tab is set to whatever your mic is called. 2) Go into your control panel and then into sound settings and make sure that in the playback and recording tabs that your microphone is set as the device with the green check. 3) Update your computers sound drivers. To do so go into your control panel, then hardware and sound, then device manager and under audio click on each one and click update driver. Then hit search automatically and let it do its thing. 4) Look at your microphone and see if there are any loose parts or wires that are showing. If there is that is a contributing factor. Finally, if you could tell me what kind of headset you have that would help as well. Hope this helps!

Ok good luck and I hope everything works out!

I am actually thinking maybe we should wait until you get your new case and psu ad if everything works out okay then we can close it. If it doesn't, which I'm hoping won't be the case, then you can just post in here.

My mistake I believe you are correct. If you like that case then go for it.

Yea you will most likely need a different case. That is over an inch which doesn't sound like a lot but when it comes to motherboards it is.

Great! Glad you were able to fix it!

I would recommend at least an 850W Power Supply. The reasoning is that you will most likely need to be upgrading soon. The Radeon is old and 4 GB of RAM is really really low. I am pretty sure that you will have to be upgrading those in the near future. Your hard drive is fine, 1 TB is a lot of space. Like you said you just want a new case and PSU so I would just say get those and then upgrade as needed. Remember, at least 850W. Also, be very careful to make sure that the case you get will hold the PSU and other components properly.

The only other two things I need to know are how much RAM you have and how much hard drive space you have. Also, do you have any ither computer that you could use or is the one that broke it?

Hey White, I can definitely help you with this. What I need to know is what 2ndLt. Holland said but also are you building a completely new computer or are you upgrading in some cases but keeping the same parts in others? For example, I know you are looking for a new case and PSU but are you also looking for other parts or are you going to keep the rest the same?

The second article has been released. Also, this series will culminate in a final article debating about Laptops vs. Desktops. Enjoy!

Yea that is another good point. Laptops overheat a lot faster than desktops. Also, I highly recommend doing what Asencio said to do with the drivers. I didn't even think of that Ascencio.

Hi sir, The only real fix is what you are doing. What is most likely happening is your sound card is being overtaxed. It isn't your CPU because if it were you wouldn't be able to run origins or if you were able to, it would crash often. One question I do have is how old is your computer? That also may have something to do with it.

Hey Rook, I know you withdrew your enlistment but I would still be more than happy to help you. Have you had the chance to try what Vicari and I suggested?

A friend on facebook posted this. Thought it was worth sharing http://www.theonion.com/articles/germans-h...eview:1:Default

Wow. I knew they were crazy but this is taking it to another level. I agree with you though Cannon, Kim Jong whatever needs to be 'removed from office' if you know what I mean .
