It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...

I know for a fact that a lot of boards out there are thriving because of how many people are there. We just need to get back into the game and pull people here. However, where we obtain these people might matter, because we don't to end up pulling in douches like those at Selkath.

I understand that people are busy these days, but it doesn't seem like they're rarely at their computer anymore. I know most of you are still dicking around with your computer. I don't know how we …

Happy New Year OT! We may be dying... BUT WE'RE STILL HERE! We had an... interesting year last year. Vice Admin Burkman is taking a long earned vacation and Uly is stepping into his position. Well...

Okay, I have looked at five rigs in the past week. My budget is $500 dollars for a new computer that will run The Old Republic.

System Specs for The Old Republic

OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000 or better / Intel Core2 Duo Processor 2.0 Ghz or better

RAM: At least 1.5 GB or better for XP / 2 GB or better for Windows Vista/7 / PC's using built in graphic chipsets 2 GB RAM is recommended.

Hard Drive: 8x DVD-ROM or better

Video: ATI XT1800 or better / NVIDIA 7800 or better / Intel 4100 or better. 256 MB minimum video RAM, shader 3.0 or better fully compatible graphics card.

THE COMPUTERS

Comp No.1

Comp No.2

Comp No.3

Comp No.4 ( It pushes my budget to the limit

Comp No.5

If someone could please tell me which is the best deal with the best specs, that'd be gladly appreciated. If you found a computer that is at or less than $500, with better specs, I would appreciate it if you could link me it.

Thanks!

I'm not the best computer expert, but I'd go for number 1...

I'd go for #5. Comparing 1 and 2 together, they're almost the same save for the video cards and Power Supply. And number five has a better power supply.

To cut on costs, does anyone know of a video card that will fit and work in an Inspiron 530s? Or a power supply that will fit in the 530s that will run a good low profile video card?
