Thanks man. What about a 512MB ATI HD 4670? Someone suggested one of those and said it would give similar performance but be more reliable due to lower power consumption. Does that make sense? Actually I've been told I should probably get a better power supply/ fan to go with the barebones...

I've been advised to get one of these barebones things: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?BB-E522K If I stuck a Geforce 9600GT in it, would the PC be fast enough to make the card give any significant performance increase over a cheaper card? Thanks.

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a PC off this website I've seen. They have a list of barebones systems that you can choose from. I'm thinking about getting one, and asking them to put a better PSU/ fan in it for me. Someone told me that you're better off getting a branded PSU/ fan than using the...

Thanks for the advice but I'm not that tech savvy.

Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new computer so that I can use it to make a single-player episode for Half-Life 2. I know that there have been some visual enhancements made to Half-Life 2 in Episode 1 and 2, so I'm basically wondering if someone could tell me if a computer I'm thinking of...

I'd like to see Opposing Force 2, maybe some kind of time-travel thing, with you playing Shepherd as he goes back to Black Mesa at various points in time. Maybe you could even go over to Xen when the original HEV suit clad explorers were going over there. I'd love to play some stuff relating to...

Crap, sorry, double post.

I can't remember where I got it, but:

Well... it seems like I'm always being negative about stuff on here, but I really didn't think much to Blue Shift to be honest. Compare it to the most memorable Half-Life units- On a Rail, Questionable Ethics, Surface Tension spring to mind- and it just seems so small-scale and dull. The...

Ah, I didn't know this! Thanks, I'll do that!

Shit. I'm thinking it could be that my logo avi has too high a framerate. So I've re-done it, with a lower framerate now. Any chance anyone could try installing and activating steamnova2.zip from the following location? http://hosted.filefront.com/ben2100/ Thanks guys. EDIT: Actually I'm...

If it does screw up, I hope someone says "Attempting shut down.. it's not.. it's not shutting down arrrrggghhhh!!!". That'd be funny.

No worries, no need to apologise dude, I appreciate you testing it anytime.

I heard a couple of the scientists talking earlier... one was saying something like "What the HELL is going on with our equipment?", and the other said something like "It's about to go critical!". Dunno if that means anything.

Thanks. So can you see the logo in Steam Half-Life?
