New feature for h2v.net forum?

[Zeph]

I'm looking at getting my second set of RAM RMA'd and I'm directed to this forum to talk to a Corsair guy first. I noticed that this forum has a really REALLY nifty feature that I haven't seen on any other vBulliten board.

I'm not sure where the best place to put it, but I'd have to guess below the custom user title and above the avatar.

[Rescudo]

I would like this feature as well, it is implemented at many forums that I go to.

[rossmum]

That's cool. :O

[~A.]

Thats neat.

[Nic]

Pretty nifty.

[TheGhost]

I'll look into it, thanks.

[Emmzee]

I would like it, too.

[Atty]

Would be a great way for me to flaunt my new PC.

[rossmum]

Would be a great way for me to get sympathy votes because of my "PC". :p

[Boo Diddly]

it would also be good for any problems we may have, as long as we have the specs uploaded.

[mined]

I second that for my Dell "value package."

[itszutak]

How can I check my PC specs? >_>

[Atty]

Opening up your PC.

[WhÎþLå§h ÐÆmØÑ]

Opening up your PC.
Ha I get it.:eyesroll:

[Stealth]

hey, I have nothing to hide about my PC Specs, in fact, I would like to have my PC Specs here, and maybe if I'm lucky (not saying I am) but I may get a PM on some Pointers on how to fix up this old Computer to work for Halo 2 Vista.

[Atty]

Or you could PM me with your PC specs and I could tell you. :|

[TheGhost]

I added it. That was incredibly difficult to set up, I'm not going to lie.

I'm trying to find a good place to put it. I've tried right above the avatar, in the sig, all of over the place, but I'm just going to place it above my username for now until we figure something better out. Honestly it's must less distracting here because of how it needs to extend from one end of its container to the other.

For now you can just fill in some of your specs =)

[Atty]

Just update mine :).

Ghost - How long until all our specs are shown? I spent along time typing every part out :X.

[TheGhost]

Just had to update the template again. It's good now.

[Atty]

Its possible that I'm blind but is primary HD showing up? I don't see my 320 (Listed as primary) in the drop down.

[TheGhost]

I'll check it out, mine isn't showing up either.

EDIT: Yeah, I made a typo, heh. It's fixed now.

[~A.]

Sweet! you got it installed! yay, now I have something to do at 2:45am =p

[TheGhost]

"Installed" would hardly be the word. More like spend hours with template and php modifications and settings. :p

[Atty]

If you don't know your PC specs (which I'm sure some people don't) there should be some tutorial on how to find them.

I'd be glad to make one if you could use it :).

[~A.]

Ouch. Lol, thanks for the hardwork Ghosty =)
I'd have probably quit on it before I even got started =p

I knew some of the basic stuff, but goodfully (new word?) I had that Everest software installed so I got info about some stuff like my optical drive etc. It's trail so I don't get everything from it.

[Atty]

You can just go to your Device Manager and get all that information. And I've probably got the best PC on H2V :D. /e-peen.

[~A.]

You slut. How much you pay for it...?
Is my laptop any good? I just got this a while back.

[TheGhost]

And I've probably got the best PC on H2V :D. /e-peen.
I guarantee I'll beat that when I build my new one in January.

[rossmum]

My PC fails... :fail:

[Zeph]

Lol, I forgot about the thread. Anyways, Ghost, try setting 'username's PC Specs \/' to right justify. That way, the little drop down arrow will be in the same place as you scroll down.


Edit: And how about some rep for the idea?

[rossmum]

I can't, I've been too whorey with my rep. :(

[TheGhost]

Edit: And how about some rep for the idea?

I tried to justify but it really screwed it up. I'll look into it.

Also, sure. +rep

[TheGhost]

If anyone is wondering where the specs went, you click that little computer icon below the rep, next to the reputation and others.

[Emmzee]

Awesome. +rep.

[jcap]

Yeah, I thought it would be better down there because that is where all of the aux things are, and it just gets it out of the way so it isn't all "OMG COMPUTER SPECS, LOL!" Sorry if anyone liked it better before. :o

[Atty]

I guarantee I'll beat that when I build my new one in January.


Maybe.

[Agamemnon]

My specs are ghetto-fied. How exactly would I go about puting them all in a professional way as AttyKissyPoo has done?

BTW, shush about the vid card Atty. :p

[Nic]

Kewl.

+rep

idk how to add rep =/

[Atty]

First get rid of your crappy Video Card. :P

[Agamemnon]

Atty

:p

Sure, as soon as I have another $300 to drop for the X1900XTX.

[InnerGoat]

Yeah, I thought it would be better down there because that is where all of the aux things are, and it just gets it out of the way so it isn't all "OMG COMPUTER SPECS, LOL!" Sorry if anyone liked it better before. :o
Its fine now. Doesnt really matter where it is though.

Also, nice text, jerk. :-3

[Atty]

By that time it will be as bad as the x1600XT. :P

I'm working on a tutorial for getting all of your PC Specs but for right now if you don't know how, do this.

Download and install Everest Ultimate Edition Trial.
http://www.lavalys.com/ultimateexe

Then after its been installed go ahead and open it up and follow this tutorial:

After you open it up you'll see on the left side a list of diffrent icons, click the Computer icon, a drop down menu will come up, from there click the summary icon and on the right side a list of all your Hardware and some software will come up. It will help you identify all the major parts in your PC. (Most importantly to some your Motherboard Name.)

If you can't find the parts or have any questions do the previous listed steps except after you click your summary go to Report < Quick Report: Summary - Plain Text.

http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4697/tutorialks6.jpg

After you click Plain Text it will give you a pop up window with all your information in plain text, copy the information (down too input devices please, after that nothing usefull is listed) then paste it into a PM and send it to me. I'll compile a list for you then PM you back.

:)


If you've got any other quesions feel free to ask me.


Also tell me if you like the tutorial :).

Edit: One thing this will not tell you (Or atleast I did not see) was your RAM information, if you want that I'll do a little tut on that later.

[Emmzee]

My specs pwn everyone's.

[Atty]

Why do I doubt Emmzee has a 4ghz E6600.

The whole idea behind the feature is going to be useless if people, A) Lie B) Don't list everything properly.

[Emmzee]

Why do I doubt Emmzee has a 4ghz E6600.
I do. My friend is a master of overclocking, and besides, it has been stated that it could be done.

[Atty]

Oh I have no doubt it can be done, it can go up too 5.4GHZ on air, I just doubt you have it.

If you do, whats HSF/Motherboard do you have?

[Nic]

Lol

Mine sucks =[
Excelt for the RAM, which is ok.

What I need:

Graphics Card (might be getting one for christmas x1600)
Harddrive (this is only 80 gigs)
Processor

[Agamemnon]

Actually, Everest was the program I used to get the specs, but I didn't know about that plain text thing. Will do then.

Oh, and actually have $300, but I still want to see if I can return the card; I did take a warranty on it (it's what made it so damn overpriced). I'll just come back and say, "It broke. Refund? Replacement?" *points at X1900XTX*

[Atty]

Lol



Graphics Card (might be getting one for christmas x1600)
Harddrive (this is only 80 gigs)
Processor


Why would you want such a terrible graphics card?

[Agamemnon]

Ha.

[rossmum]

Burn.

Lol @ Emzee's PSU.

[Rescudo]

Cool, I'm going to enter my computer specifications in a moment. Thanks! :)

[Zeph]

Rescudo, optical drive is your cd/dvd drive and case is what your computer is in.

And I like the new way that it is. :(, only TheGhost have given me rep for bringing the idea for the forum.

[Rescudo]

So case would be, um, laptop? lol.

+rep

[Emmzee]

Why would you want such a terrible graphics card?
Srsly. Get an x1800.

[Atty]

Srsly. Get an x1800.

Ok now I know your PC specs are a terrible lie.

[Agamemnon]

I know right? I mean, who would lie about their PC specs? Jeez.

[Atty]

I still doubt it Emmzee because I don't know of any (except Dell XPS) which come with anything but Stock cooling for their Core2's. I know you do not have an XPS because XPS's aren't shipped with 7600GTs. With Stock you would not get anywere close to 4.0 with an E6600, idle temps (at best) with stock are about 47 - 50C idle (with stock). Also its MB limmited, nForce (For Core2's) aren't the best for OCing, atleast none that I've seen.

Face it Emmzee, You've lost, I've found out your lie, just change it and we'll all be happy. :)

[Emmzee]

K.

[Atty]

CPU-z Shot please Emmzee.

[InnerGoat]

CPU-z Shot please Emmzee.Seconded.

4 Ghz chips are pretty rare, and thus you need proof.

[TheGhost]

Yeah, okay, well let's just all calm down here please.

Emmzee, if you want, you can post pics of your OC numbers. Otherwise let's just drop it.

[Atty]

I think there should be a rule about lying about your PC specs.

[TheGhost]

Oh come on, that's like lying about your Location. It's dumb, ignore it.

[jcap]

I think there should be a rule about lying about your PC specs.

I think there should be a rule about people complaining about pointless things.

[InnerGoat]

What I just wanted to see a CPUz screencap.

[Atty]

What I just wanted to see a CPUz screencap.


Well it does not recognize my Core 2 Quad, maybe it does not recognize his 4.0. :rolleyes:

[Emmzee]

Face it Emmzee, You've lost, I've found out your lie, just change it and we'll all be happy. :)
Love you too babe.

[WhÎþLå§h ÐÆmØÑ]

I think there should be a rule about people complaining about pointless things.^^^

Guys, just stop it. Who gives a shit if he's lying or not.

[rossmum]

The internets does, derbrain.

[Emmzee]

Atticus.

[Agamemnon]

Well so much for trying to get the focus off of this "chrysis." Anyone check out my specs? :cool:

[mined]

^ LMAO, your freaking awesome!

[Emmzee]

Roffles.

[Mr. BBQ]

Woah, awesome idea, completely useless (and possibly embarrassing) but still awesome. :D

[Atty]

Its not really useless. It can be used for lots of things, when looking for beta testers for maps you can find people with certain PC specs (Low, Mid, High) for testing, you can help with tech problems easily, and you can enlarge your E-Peen :D.

[Zeph]

Yeah, it's definately useless. If I didn't know Polar's computer specs allready, I'd use this to know he'd be great for beta tests.

</giving an applicable example so people can go try to find a post by polar and check his computer specs>

Is there any possibily you could add an option for two setups? thnx ghost.

Interesting how it says 5400+ on the top and then 3400+ some further down. :rolleyes:

[legionaire45]

...whoops xD

not to mention the fact that the revision I have is a crappy overclocker, hell, it barely does stock (idleing around 45 now with watercooling....)

*edit* cookies to whoever notices whats wrong with the voltage....xD

[Rescudo]

Offer rep and I might consider it...:rolleyes:

I love how it's 130u too!

While being able to enter multiple rigs would be nice, I dont see the point of it. You typically only game on one.

lmfao.

On rare ocasions CPU-z does read it wrong and will show some stupidly high nubers. Havn't seen it much, though. :rolleyes:

[Boo Diddly]

i think i have some good specs on my pc, except for my cpu...

[Emmzee]

Hell yes those are good specs. You could use a bigger monitor though. At least 19 inches.

[Zeph]

i think i have some good specs on my pc, except for my cpu...

Yeah, I would be going gaga over that AIW 1900, but ever since they screwed up the MMC that was to fix all the problems after converting to a digital tuner, announced the discontinuation of the series, and ultimately dont give a shit about it anymore, I've forced myself to lose interest in the AIW series. Still, it's a full fledged 1900 and that's great.

[Atty]

:lol:

Onboard sound. :lol:

[Zeph]

Oh, Ghost, add speakers to the list! That way, we can know if people have good speakers and crap audio flowing through them!

[Atty]

Yes, Add speakers and Headphones. Some of us payed damn good money for our headphones (http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=newHD-2) ;).

[rossmum]

$10 (I'm constantly broke)... and the wiring fucked up. :(

Heaphones hate me, I swear it.

[Rescudo]

I bought some excellent headphones for $20 in Poland. xD

[Agamemnon]

Yes, Add speakers and Headphones. Some of us payed damn good money for our headphones (http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=newHD-2) ;).
Now that's a waste. I bought a $40 of headphones that look and do exactly what those say (ooh, so smooth, so silky) PLUS mic capability.

[Emmzee]

Oh, Ghost, add speakers to the list! That way, we can know if people have good speakers and crap audio flowing through them!
I don't even have speakers anymore. Never use 'em. I just have a shitty logitech.

[legionaire45]

nice set of cheap logitech 5.1 speakers and my audigy 2 ZS work fine. Im using the bluetooth headset that came with my phone as my mic for now. it works xD.

[InnerGoat]

Yes, Add speakers and Headphones. Some of us payed damn good money for our headphones (http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=newHD-2) ;).That looks so overkill tbh.:D

Your e-peen isn't big enough as is right now?

[Boo Diddly]

actually my onboard sound is Realtek High Definition Audio that supports 7.1 surround sound. I also have the ability to have a S/PDIF system.

My speakers? Since I'm poor and in college, I have 2.1 surround sound =&#254;. They are GE speakers that sound quite good, and a unique thing that my sub can do is hook up to my parents huge arse speakers. Now those can really pump out the sound. *as a comparison, they are hooked up to a radio, the volume is on a dial. It is set at between 2 and 4... out of 50. At that low of a setting, you can easily hear it all around the house. The sound starts to deform at around 25. Theoretically at 50 anyone within a 5 mile radius will be able to hear what you are listening to, if your brains weren't liquified by the first second worth of sound.*

[rossmum]

They never are, der.

Yeah I know, hence the :lol:'s.

[legionaire45]

Get a soundblaster. at least an audigy 2 SE. or wait until creative inevitably releases some sound blaster XFIHDXtreme sound card so the XFI's can come down in price. thats my plan =D

[Atty]

Creative would release a: X-Fi F&#170;T&#170;&#163;&#239;T&#255; Ulta-Gamers Edition as their next card.

[Rescudo]

Would appeal to all those people running around with mega-funky nicks, I suppose. :lol:

[rossmum]

Heh. Reminds me of a discussion me and Reaper had.

The number of alt codes in a gamertag* are usually inversely proportional to the owner's:

a) age;
b) penis size.

Excessive use of alt codes are the average, inadequate prepubescent's way of trying to grow their e-peen to make up for their regular one.

*Except for people like Whip, cause they're cool like that. And a single trademark doesn't count.

[Rescudo]

Oh, I have the C with Cedilla as well... but that's not really because it's an alt code, but because, well, it's part of my nick. I don't use it at forums because typing in the C takes a lot of time...

[rossmum]

You fall under the "cool like that" category, though.

[legionaire45]

alt codes:confused::confused::confused:? Apparently I dont have a very big e-peen...

That's a good thing, it means you aren't trying to grow it to make up for your normal one. ;)

Rescudo, re-read that... you muddled it up.

[Rescudo]

What did I muddle up? >_>

[rossmum]

...Never mind.
