    [H]ard Colony for Our Colony

    The clock in the upper left corner of ourcolony.net counts down to the "official" unveiling of the Xbox 2 (or 360) on MTV May 12. Sorry if this is a repost, just figured it out. :)

    Logitech Cordless Communicator for Xbox?...

    So, after shelling out 50 bucks for the absolutely amazing Xbox Precision Cordless Controller for Xbox (which you should definately pick up, it's incredible), I need to get a communicator for the Xbox. I am about 13 feet from the Xbox (which is why I needed the cordless controller in the first...

    A Quick Guide to Understanding (Electrolytic) Capacitors

    Don't thank me, thank my high school's Physics department. Ranked number one in the world by the College Board for schools with over 1000 students. :D

    Building AMD Athlon 64 2800 system

    If it's a Socket 754 set-up, the MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM (yeah, the model name is in all caps) is a great motherboard. NForce 3 250Gb, ton's of onboard stuff (4x SATA, 2x PATA, 3x DIMMS, great overclocking options). Built two systems for friends/family with this board, comes highly reccomended.

    A Quick Guide to Understanding (Electrolytic) Capacitors

    A quick addendum: If you wanted to make a capacitor that could hold one (1) Farad (a relatively large amount of capacitance) that used air as a dielectric and had the plates 1mm apart, each plate would have to be something on the order of 11,292,659.4 meters squared, or about 3360.5 meters to...

    A Quick Guide to Understanding (Electrolytic) Capacitors

    If you've been reading about the ABIT faulty-capacitor lawsuit, you probably know by know that the capacitors on ABIT motherboards had a nasty habit of oozing electrolytic fluid. For those of you who don't know what electrolytic fluid is and/or how it applys to electronics, here's a quick...

    Cheap, reliable and quiet power supply?

    Absolutely, 100% Antec. The best affordable brand by a long shot, you can find their ~350 Watt PSU's for around $40-60. The damn things are reliable as hell, deliver constant, clean power, and are (depending on the model) pretty silent.

    Lanning CS with PC and Xbox??

    The two games are so vastly different, not just in terms of weapons or actual game items and the like, but in terms of netcode and the way that bits are handled, that it'd never work. On the plus side, in Longhorn, the next iteration of Windows, there is rumored to be the ability to play PC...

    New Xbox, advice..

    Don't discourage him from playing what was widely regarded to be one of, if not the, top games of the year. The ending was not unsatisfying, because it basically guaranteed a Halo 3. All trilogies have cliffhanger endings, that's just how the producers get you to come back for more. :)

    Fingerworks Keyboard for Gaming?

    I second this motion. I have the same problem. You try to crouch (C), and move forward and strafe right (W and D) and it goes BEEEEEP and won't accept more than two inputs. Grrrr. :mad:

    New Xbox, advice..

    PGR 2 is good, as is Burnout 3. If you're patient, and like shooters, Ghost Recon 2 can be a lot of fun, and simultaneously frustrating as hell. Once you figure out some tactics (it's not Halo, things move a lot slower), you'll really enjoy it. And, of course, Halo 2. Collector's Ed., if...

    best gun-setup for Farcry

    Props on using the words fast, firing, and nads in the same sentance. :D hehe... I was personally fond of having the G36 (excellent medium and long range weapon, great grenades, etc.), or, in some sections, the OICW (the grenades were fantastic on it, but as a rifle, I favored the two-level...
