  1. Just got back from seeing Friday Night Lights.

    All I can say is wow.

    The movie has it all. Points at which you will laugh, then a couple minutes later your really feeling bad. One woman I sat next to was actually crying at a couple points in the movie.

    I might have a connection to it because I play on friday nights, but i was wondering what other people thought of it.

  2. McNamee, I'd stick to reddots for airsoft rifles (unless you have a super upgraded sniper rifle).

    I have a Classic Army M15A4 SPC right now with iron sights and a replica M68 on the top RIS panel. Use the irons for medium range shots and the aimpoint for CQB.

    Hope I helped

  4. Well im going off a template for a IBUYPOWER computer

    IBUYPOWER

    Look at the Gamer FX set up, thats basically what im going to get. The 600w sound system comes with it so im not going to complain about it

    I did look at the 9800 pro but I havent seen any benchmarks compairing the two, so I just threw in the 5900XT. Searching for benchmarks right now.

    @Silent Night

    The Abit KV8 Pro Via-K8T800 Pro. Its only $20 to $30 US more then the Albatron mobo in my build, but im very cheap and i put the extra money into the Corsair RAM.

    Thanks for everybody thats helping me out. :thumbsup:

  5. Hey all,

    I've been looking into getting a real "gaming" computer for a little while. From hours of research hardcore gaming computer run about 3k and up.

    For a budget computer how do these components stand:

    Raidmax Scorpio-868 ATX Mid-Tower Case w/420W Power Supply

    AMD Athlon-64 2800+

    Albatron K8X800 Pro 8x AGP Main Board with 5.1 Sound / USB2.0 / LAN

    512 MB DDR400 PC-3200 Corsair XMS

    120GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive (might bump down to 80gb to save some cash)

    52x32x52 CD-RW

    16x DVD-ROM

    5.1 Surround Sound 600W PMPO Subwoofer Speakers

    128MB GeForce FX-5900XT 8X AGP Video

    Onboard sound (sucks but I want to keep it under $1000)

    Do you guys think I should add/subtract/tweak for a good set-up. I mainly play GR, AA, but AA plays really crappy on my current rig.

    Thanks in advance

  6. Two military jets crashed into the Columbia River in Eastern Oregon Wednesday afternoon.

    The FAA says two Navy F-18 fighter jets crashed around 2:30 p.m. near Arlington Oregon.

    Those jets are based out of Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego and the fighter group is in Portland on a training mission.

    Witnesses told KATU that they heard a loud explosion and many others saw a fireball above the river before the fighters tumbled into the water.

    "We saw an explosion and a boom, and we saw a plane coming down in flames," said one witness.

    Witnesses also told KATU they saw multiple parachutes in the sky after the crash.

    "One man parachuting, something like a canopy spinning in the sky, to the east of that I saw another man parachuting, " said Amanda Wilson, the wife of an Arlington Sheriff's Deputy. "I do know that one man landed on the Oregon side of the Columbia River, and another one landed in Arlington, and another one landed on the Washington side of the river."

    The crash happened east of the Navy's test bombing range five miles southwest Boardman.

    Although the site was decommissioned in 2000, some planes continue to use the low level flight routes in the area.

    The site features mobile targets for practice by Navy jets, particularly those out of Whidbey Island in Washington.

    From what I heard on the news a F/A-18C and a D model (C=single seat D is a 2 seater) crashed while performing a run at a firing range. Both pilot and R.I.O in the D died. It is know known that they died of drowning in the Columbia River. The pilot in the C model is in good condition at a local hospotal.

    My thoughts are with the surviving aviator and with the familys of the killed pilots
