Getting your woman interested in playing video games?

Seems like a very difficult task to complete. Seems like one of those endless quest that never seems to have an end, lol.

Like to hear others thoughts, and maybe a couple of words from the women in the guild on what peaked their interest in becoming a gamer.

As I mentioned before, I currently still have a 3rd 9800 GTX+ I never installed in my computer, When I ordered my original PSU, I thought I was unable to hook up 3rd 9800 GTX+ video cards in SLI because of the power cable hook ups I was limited too.
 
This all changed when I saw this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjSI1fcGECA

The computer in this video has the same PSU, Tagan BZ900 with 3 XFX GeForce 260 GTX in 3 Way SLI.

After doing some research, I have come across 6 pin PCIe Splitters. I am not a "power guru" so I am not sure if I can use these types of splitters but if I can, how would I hook it up properly to avoid power issues?


Edit: Forgot to list CPU *Fixed*

General / A Leave of Absence
« on: January 09, 2012, 01:10:04 pm »
Hello fellow Angels,

As of today I will be taking a leave of absence from SWTOR for about 21 days. I will be gone away from home working. I will return on or before Jan 29, 2012.

I will be able to use the forums while I am away and If timing is ok, I will be able to jump into the meetings using my phone or laptop.

I work in the Oilfield and sometimes it can eat up my time away from home. I should be getting on a normal schedule of 7 days on and 7 off, we will see.

Looking forward to returning, see you all soon in game.

Take care,

Maglorius

General / What did I get my self into?
« on: January 04, 2012, 06:47:34 pm »
Ok guys, I finally broke down and got with the times and purchased the following two items.

Razer Naga and Razer Nostromo.

I have been a keyboard type of gamer for a long time, I have seen the new cutting edge equipment that gets released every year but declined to buy into it.

Now the question is, what did I get myself into? What type of learning curve and I am looking at? I am almost afraid to touch the Nostromo, lol.

Looking forward to getting home to enjoy some SWTOR with FA.

Had a great time on vacation with the family now its time to get to business. :-P

See you all soon.

Have you ever had one of those days where you wanted to be spontaneous with your family and just go and do something?

Well I had one of those days, I sent a text to my wife and told her, let's take off and run to Orlando next week and spend our time at Universal Studios. Of course I was not thinking about anything else but get away from the house.

The only response I was expecting to get was, yeah right, whatever. I am here to tell you the text message I got was, Lets Do It. I got a follow up call saying we can leave Thursday morning next week and get back to Louisiana on the 21st, right before Christmas.

Looks like I will be heading to Orlando for the early release of TOR.

I have not been this stoked about a MMO in a very long time.

If the only choice you had was between these two phones, iPhone 4 S or Samsung Galaxy S II, which one would you pick and why?

Just a heads up, I might not be around for the meeting and interviews tonight. I have a family outing to participate in.

If I make it back in time, I will hop on as soon as I can.

Have a good night everyone!

Off Topic / What to do for 65 days and counting
« on: October 15, 2011, 04:32:18 pm »
Fellow FA members, I have been watching Star Wars I, II, II, IV, V and VI, playing Kotor (again) just to pass the time.

Ever since the beta weekend I have not been able to load up any other game that didn't have a lightsaber in it. I even went back to Force Unleashed on Xbox.

I find myself sitting at my computer everyday wanting to play something but nothing grabs a hold of me.

I guess that is a good sign that SWTOR will be awesome!

So what is everyone else doing or going to do over the next 65 days?
