Rock, rock on Hamster.
Just thought I would provide an update that I shelled out last night to buy a truly uber computer. Over the top, in fact.
I should be happy, but I'm afraid. They will be coming tonight to deliver and set it up. I'm also changing to wireless router, wireless fax/scan/copy/printer, etc, etc.
I am afraid. Very afraid. But once they are done and I get my games installed things will be better, right? right???

Kudos on the new computer.
Meh on going wireless everything...
Don't get me wrong. Wireless is very nice and handy and a good thing to have...as a backup. But my internal network isn't wired gigabit for nothing.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
I just got tired of all the wires, especially the long blue one running out to the dining room to connect my wife's computer to the router...
I think that I will be able to still use wires for my own computer that will likely be in the same room as the router. We'll see. I'm still afraid that there will be problems setting things up - but I guess that's why I allowed myself to be convinced to pay for them to set it all up for me.
I'm still scared, though. Computers scare me. Change scares me.
Someone hold me. Viv? Where are you when I need you? 
You rang, NR? *hug* It'll be ok.
you keep your wife's computer in the dining room... right next to the kitchen I presume?
brilliant, sir.

Actually, she originally had a laptop. The thought was that she could use it at the dining room table and then it could be easily removed when we wanted to use the table to entertain. Well:
- the dining room quickly became her "office," filled with papers/clutter;
- the laptop died (the screen started to black out/fade after about a year);
- we replaced the laptop with an old desktop (now 6 years old) and a clunky monitor.
Now with a new decent desktop and an LCD monitor it will be easier to work in her "office," but we aren't that much closer to recovering the space as a dining room
Recently moved everything into a smaller cheaper less cheapo case for space saving reasons. Upgraded graphics card to an Asus EAH5750 (an ATI chip). Going to upgrade from 2GB to 4GB of RAM soon. I prefer low to mid-range computer components for monetary, simplicity, and philosophical reasons.
Intel Core 2 E6750 2.66GHz
Windows 7 64-bit
2GB RAM
ASUS EAH5750 Graphics
Don't mess with Texas!

as long as your video card won't overheat using dual outputs, yeah. Just plug them both in with standard VGA cables (or whatever your card/tv/monitor can use, HDMI, DVI, etc). Sometimes you'll have to reboot your tower for it to recognize that another device is plugged in. Otherwise, open your video control panel, and enable your secondary screen (as a duplicate of the primary, or in addition to).
How you do this depends entirely on what OS you're running... and what your video card is.
Given that, we could provide the step by step to get it done.
