  1. What's the physically easiest method you do for debinding the "perfect bound" style that Nintendo Power and other various strategy guides use?

    Honestly i just use a box cutter with a brand new blade .......and slice as straight down as i can ......try to cut right where the glue ends on the binding .......and just remove pages as you go

    Once you get 20 or so pages down ........the blade will follow the previous cuts :D

  2. So i just recieved my ThermalTake Blue Orb II

    ITS HUGGGGGE:lol:

    I have no clue if i am gonna be able to fit it inside my case.......I took the motherboard and laid it in the case ......then placed the heatsink on top .......looks like its either gonna be touching the powersupply .......or its gonna be a milimeter too big

    So on sunday ......I should be putting it together ......without screwing the mobo in place .....i am not gonna know if its gonna fit

    So pray for me

  3. I ordered my Memory and Heatsink .......so i am pretty much there .....except pulling my videocard outta my current setup is gonna render one of my computers useless :(

  4. i got a dual core in my pc and i can definitely tell the difference, especially when multitasking. it handles itself really well and keeps quiet and cool.

    i have long been wanting to get a set up with dual monitors, but just have not had the funding available. i'm on a real tight budget trying to build up enough downpayment for my first house.

    but i can only imagine what it'd be like having dual monitors.

    ahh one day...

    You should see this one setup some dude had in Maximum PC Magazine ........i think it was like 15 monitors for Microsoft Flight Simulator.......the guy could see from wingtip to wingtip :blink:

    Crazy

  5. You want all my secrets :chair:

    I am using a Invision Powerboard ($70) with the following mods

    Attack System Mod

    Arcade Mod

    Casino Mod

    Lottery Mod

    Auto PM on Registration Mod

    Download Mod

    THe links to each of those mods is on the respected pages.......so go to the arcade section ....scroll to the bottom and look for the link :P

  6. I would say that about 1/3 of the newsbot posts are interesting. But I wouldn't do away with it as it helps to stimulate discussion. Perhaps newsbot posts with no replies should be deleted after 2 weeks to keep it from cluttering the current events thread.

    I am searching for this right now ........I was thinking 7 days

    I don't mind them, but I do wonder if it's possible to limit to how many newbot posts come in per day? :huh:

    Yes i can have him import 50 topics a day if i want .......right now he is set to 3

    He was created for new users to be able to get 25 posts to play in the arcade ......incase there was slow weeks on the forum

  7. Debinding the issues will allow you to scan them very fast .........Also you can mail any issues that are in good shape to me ......I will Debind them and scan them myself or distribute them to other scanners who dont have issues to scan :)

  8. My New Computer :Yahooo: ...Gonna be putting it together in a few weeks.......This is gonna be my 3rd desktop .....running outta room on the desk :P

  9. i dont see this happening......just for the simple reason of each poll belongs in a specific place

    Will you buy Windows Vista = Computer Section

    Which is your favorite Console = Current Affairs

    Would you Participate in a Retromags Contest = Help and Suggestions

    So its kinda hard to lump them all together in 1 section......and i belong to about 7 other forums where its the same way

    :)

  10. As long as its just clippings and not the whole mags......I see no problem as long as you let people know where they can come to find out about helping scan or donating old mags

    Lots of people just throw out old magazines when they find them in there closet......You have my permission unless any of my scanners want to claim otherwise.....Which if any of you guys have any objections ....go ahead and post them right here

    I will add your link tommorow night .....Thanks for the help .....and just so you know .....we are moving onto PSM magazine next......and they have some nice artwork also :)

  11. anybody can scan this magazine to us?i no have it

    :unsure: Probably no one has that .....But even if they did .....i doubt they would take the time to scan it just for you

    Not trying to be mean ......but if you havent scanned anything......you cant really expect someone to take the time to fill your request

  12. Nice Find 420 ......Maybe we should start a cool links thread......and put this and the retrozone.com and the commercials we found in there

    oh and thanks for pulling people away from my arcade.....sore loser :ranting: :bruce_h4h: :P

  13. I can only seed new releases from 10pm to 10am (Eastern US)..........I now have Vonage which is a Broadband Telephone Company ......And Even With BT running at 10kbs i get breakups ........Its because i have a sucky upload speed......So if you see your torrent not being seeded ......Look up the time and just wait a bit

    Also Please Seed the Release after you get it .......Because there are gonna be weeks where you miss a release and wish someone would be seeding it for you

    Thanks
