Looked like this area needed some activity. So enter my newly updated pc which was long over due. Been working on it a bit and here it is as of now but a few other things still planned. Worked a bit on this while the clod mess was going on, this was a release from that anger pile lol.
First a new case was in order so with my gaming buddys (Adam) suggestion in with a Cooler Master HAF 922 and you can see a beast of a case! and the count em 3 200mm fans are pretty amazing plus I added a 120mm on the bottom and it has a 140mm at the rear. Now I blame Adam for getting me hooked on these things lol but he sent me some pods that hold 3 blue leds and I stuck those inside the case shooting out the top and back but after seeing the cool blue glow on my ceiling and wall I wanted more! So 2 more were added but they were stuck behind the monitor one shooting up and other down and plans for 2 more still LOL. see im pretty blind in the dark so we have nightlights all over the place and light stays on in the kitchen so a nice blue light in the pc room has been nice and enough I can see ok.
Next was a little updating inside, out with the old vid card and in with a new msi 465gtx twin frozr huge jump from what I had if you dont know! Got a huge heatsink for my cpu from cooler master. This wasnt needed but didnt want any old ribbon cables anymore and the last item that used one still was my dvd rom so a sata drive went in so everything is now sata. Also added another 500gig sata hdd along with my other 500gig and for windows a 320gig.
Last year after my motherboard crapped out I had upgraded to a newer board and a intel i5 cpu and ddr3 ram, still like to get 4 more gigs(4gigs now). Next I hope in April will be monitor upgrades, plan is for a nice 2 monitor setup always wanted that so hopefully it works out.

Anyways thats it I think but just hte size of the case was worth it it is sooo much cleaner in there now cause all the wires are tucked in behind the mobo.

Yea I love it, thanks for all the help to! Not to happy with msi tho, been reading and turns out they dont like ot give the rebates they offer was the deciding factor when I bought this card and when I filled out the deal online they have this no wait option for $3 yea right month later still nothing and no replies back either. So dont expect money back if you look at their product say hey great buy when you add the rebate :(

yikes... I don't do rebates... unless I am dead set on buying something and it happens to have one. I only get them back 50% of the time and they usually take 8 weeks. MSI is a good mfg of pc parts, I have bought their mobos and video cards since the 90s but their customer service has mixed reviews...

I can see that card is nice for sure just as you know I was on a tight arse budget so even tho it was $20 it would help now, also why I chose the no wait option said I should get it ina week or so.

Anyrate cant wait to move to monitors next! Not till April tho :(
Also my amp will be here Sat. woohoo!

Probaly not really but sure has the options! Has built in memory so you can take it to another pc and it keeps your settings. And well being a led freak you can change the colors of the front and top leds! Right now the top is green and fronts are blue, has this cool little screen that shows the dpi setting and you can add a little logo of your choice vs the cooler master default.

Yea took me a bot to get it squared away well still fiddling with it but got it mostly set, seems it doesnt really like the metal mouse pad from thermaltake noticed some delay so set the mouse on the desk itself and havent seen it do that yet.

Bought this a couple years ago and the surface is fading some but I miss the blue leds around the edge of it lol. So far its liking the brown of the desktop surface go figure. So im liking it but take some time to get used to it the movement is different from the logitech, kinda hard to explain.
Will say its nice not running out of mouse pad now especially with just cause and when your helicoptering around takes a ton of movement to turn that beast!!

First mission their was 2 and I got one done but seriously I cant find the last item on the other platform! Driving me crazy I have ran all over, flew all over and nothing. Just awhile ago tackled another aways from the mile high club place lol got owned tho, found the beached whale and "lost" island lol plane busrt into flames as I went over it.
Pretty much just been doing some missions but mostly I decided to fly over over the undiscovered places alot so when I log back on I can transport to more places(hate the starting back the base). Also went after the airports right away so I can grab aircraft.
Still TONS to do tho even with all the places I got 100% their is so many left I will be playing for sometime :righton

on the oil rig, there was one part that took be for ever to get also.. but hell if I can remember where it is now. sorry :(

yeah... all the little easter eggs are great... you can find the hatch on the lost island also.. I found it but it took a bit.. there are youtube videos showing you right where to go, but it's in the jungle so it's hard to duplicate the movements from a video of some dude running in the jungle in the rain..

Anyways.. I just like grabbing a business jet and flying around.. flying under bridges... or getting a fast car and seeing how far I can jump.... I drove a limo all the way up the ski slopes and then I jumped on top of it and slid part of the way down riding on the top of it.. what else... if you max out with upgrades the little basic helicopter you can buy on the black market it's actually a pretty good little heli.. you can explore the mountains very easily with it.. find lots of little hidden areas and stuff..

I have yet to tackle that one... I was kind of saving it but might give it a go now. I know that thing is BIG! took me a while before I used my weapon upgrade points also.. which is good, because only after playing for a while do you learn which ones you want to make better. :)

Yea didnt use alot but I had 200 some points and uped my machine gun and both explosives, the larger machine gun to which is very nice on the guns to have more ammo!
When you go after that place try to stay back a bit and find all the dam sam sites first they will light your ass up like that! Once those are gone then just fly around and blow chit up lol. Watch for the dam rpg idiots to. I wont mention where they hide sneaky bastards.

yeah - ammo does go fassssst and you have to be collecting it non stop basically.. or know where there are little cache's of it which replenish every time you login to the game.. there's a mod that makes everything on the black market free.. I have considered doing that just cause I am sick of being money conscious and just want to enjoy the "sand box" gaming style.... Oh I am stuck on the beach with no vehicle? let me have... a MONSTER TRUCK! whheeeeew..

or something like that.
