    Reinstalling Win7 on a Dell

    I got one of those discs from eBay. I didn't get a SSD just yet. I will probably get that later this month. I found out my town has a Dell dealership and he has the CDs, but I would need to bring my desktop in so he can verify the code. I have a backup plan just in case things head south! I...

    Reinstalling Win7 on a Dell

    You know, I never thought of looking on eBay! It seems to be a common problems since they sell a lot from what it looks like on eBay. I will have to do a little more research. I don't understand why Dell won't let me get one for free since I spend money on a computer. Granted, Windows 7 is...

    Reinstalling Win7 on a Dell

    I would like to add a mSATA SSD to my computer. I then would like to reinstall Windows 7 on the SSD, and then use my current drive just for file storage, games, and other stuff similar that. My Dell XPS 8700 did NOT come with a Windows installation disk. Ok, no problem...I thought. I then went...

    Roller Coaster Tycoon

    I use to play the 1st one like crazy. I loved playing it! Now I want to start playing it again for the heck of it. I never played the second since it looked like the same thing. I do have the 3rd one, without the expansions, but I thought it was enjoyable.

    The "I Got A New Game!" Thread

    So I have never played any of the games of the Mass Effect series. So I picked the first and second copy up awhile ago when GameStop had a buy 2, get 1 free sale. I am still only on the first one and enjoying it a lot! It starts out a little slow, which is fine for me, but wow is it starting...

    Assassin's Threed + franchise spoiler discussion

    In video games, I don't really think the American Revolution has been used a lot. Plus the game could also start in London, and lead up to the Revolution, and then the game takes place during the Revolution also. I say this game has a lot of potential, and I trust that Ubisoft can make it go right.

    Crusader Kings 2

    Old-school gaming...have to love it. I think this is why I like these types of games. They are like an old school feel in my opinion. The graphics don't have to be awesome, I just want a good game that I can enjoy for a long period of time. I am starting to get sick of playing Xbox now, so I...
