Sup Everyone,its Been a while

Sup Everyone,its Been a while since I,ve Posted here. Around the
time Hotshots website got hacked my old computer started
having issues. The power supply went out,so I stuck one in that
been in the closet for years but it wasnt up to the task because
it burned out after a week or so. Wonderfull oder that comes off
of a power supply that actually burns up while your using the
computer. Sizzle,sizzle,pop smoke pouring out of computer,black-
ness on screen. So after that I came to the conclusion that I was
going to build a new one. I barrowed the power supply from my
gf,s old computer so I could go online and begin to investigate
new parts for my build. After taking out a mortgage for my new
computer(I say mortgage because I got a loan for $3,000 to buy
the parts) I ordered my parts. and recived them fairly quick.
Assembled my comp to find out after 2 days of screwing with it
that the Motherboard was AFU. Manufacturer came to the
conclusion that it didnt have the new bios and didnt support the
C2 stepping in my new Proccesor. Sent it back and ordered a new
MB from a different manufacturer. 3 weeks later after dealing with
the whole RMA thing I had a running Computer. This is what I
have -

Hey hows my favorite mapper doing good to see u back. You know what they say about computers, either your best friends or worst enemies. All the problems you had to start with seemed to have paid off.

That system u have is fab one hell of a games machine. You need to get some COD on your steam account of yours, it will run great with them specs for sure.

So are u still designing new maps?

Well after going to Quake3World forum to learn how to get my
mapping software and Q3A to work right in Win7 ,I've Messed
around with some mapping(Been working 12 hour shifts since
Sept so on the days I have work I dont do much of anything
because I have no time for it). I was going crazy for a couple of
days because I'de do all this work to my maps,compile the map
and then try to run it in q3 to test and there would be no changes
and none of the jump pads or teleporters would work. Come to
find out you have to run GtkRadiant as an Administrator as well
as running Q3A as an Administrator along with any other soft-
ware for mapping.I'm really liking the size of my monitor. I wish
somone would make a patch for q3 that added modern wide-
screen support. I was just messing around and set my max fps
to 1000 fps and its really wierd looking when you move(and yes
I was getting 1000 fps). I have a couple of maps I've made that
some older computers cant run because theyre fps killers(to much
to go into right now as to why theyre fps killers)and I set my /com
_maxfps to 200 and it doesnt even flicker.Rock solid. To play
Quake Live I have to disable SLi because it doesnt display the
maps correctly and it looks really messed up.If yall havent tried
playing Crysis 2 yet you need to check it out.
The graphics are outstanding.
