This is what I put together about 6 months ago. It's even cheaper now, but you could probably find better stuff today if you research toms hardware and hardocp. Whenever I build, I pick cheaper shit that overclocks well.

His ETQW profile doesn't turn anything up on the stats page with a search. Playing only offline? |

So far yes, I'm still learning and haven't played on any ranked servers yet. Do you guys have a regular time and place (or is that specified in the other threads above)? I don't have have a VOIP thingy...I'll try to get one in the next week or so. |

Usually 9PM-1AM EST. We get together on the IRC channel and figure out when we're playing. The game has built in VOIP and it works quite well. You'll need a microphone. I'm using the Microsoft LX-3000 USB headphone. Add me to your friends list and I'll add you to the clan. That's 0bsidian with a zero - the Obsidian with an "o" is a noob who's intent on spoiling my rep. |

I'll find an IRC client and try it out tonight. I've not played online in many moons and never with voip so if I inadvertently fuck up, laugh with me. |
