Well, here goes...
This topic is for all you peeps to ask your technical support questions. If you have trouble with anything related to your pc, please ask me questions in here and I'll try to help you as best I can. I have worked as a PC engineer off my own back for the last 7 years, and have come across most pc problems I can think of.
Questions about technical issues with Enemy Territory are also welcome here.
Hope I can help you guys with this...
Let the posting COMMENCE!

Ok dunno if I can do blue prints, but I can sure as hell tell you how to put a pc together. It's actually relatively easy, but you WILL need to be a person who likes their machine tidy, otherwise you will end up with a bunch of messy cabling that makes the inside of your pc look shit. I buy everything from www.ebuyer.com mostly, but I have been known to shop at www.overclock.co.uk AND www.overclockers.co.uk too. I actually bought my graphics card from ebay as it was the cheapest I could find it (got it for £250 instead of £290)  Below is a list of my components, and where i got them, and how much each cost: |

OK they were posted above but here they are again : Antec Rounded HDD and FDD cables with UV reflective coating - www.ebuyer.com - HDD=£8.64; FDD=£4.53 2x Cold Cathode UV light tubes (Kit) - www.ebuyer.com - £2.55 2x 80mm Akasa UV reactive Blue Case Fans (Rear as Exhausts) - PC World store - £4.99 each 1x 80mm UV Reactive Green Fan (clipped to side window as intake for gfx cooling) - Given to me by a friend Biohazard Applique sticker for Large Side Window - www.ebuyer.com - £0.99 The only lights in it is 2 Ultra Violet Light tubes, they make the UV reactive parts like the fans and cables [glow=red,2,300]GLOW[/glow] so that they all look like they have their own lights in. Pretty neat huh? The fans are running off the motherboard 3 pin connectors except for the side window fan, which is daisy-chained off the hard disk power cable, and the UV light tubes are daisy-chained off one of the cd drives. Oh yeah and my Power Supply also has 2 fans in, both of which have 3 diff colour LED's in (Green Blue and Red). All my mod kit (lighting, fans, etc.) was bought from www.ebuyer.com as they always have pretty good prices. m4$t3r |
