LANKnights / Electronic Gaming Society at UCF: korbaton - Viewing Profile - LANKnights / Electronic Gaming Society at UCF

My dad just won't submit to splitting a desktop with me. Can anyone recommend a passable laptop, somewhere in the range of $950-1200?

It's that time again! Since my original plan for UK went down the shitter last night, I figure we should try and get a LANKnights group together this year.

Current schedule has it on the 15th of April, with ticket distribution on the 2nd through the 5th.

What say you?

(and I actually got the day off from Disney to go, too! Now here's hoping I'm not on 'til 3:45 AM on the 14th...)

Well, since Whiplash posted it here, I may as well too. Does anyone need a roommate for next year, to fill out an apartment? I'm not really keen on doing paying by the room anymore (EDIT: but I will if it's not too expensive). Hit me up on steam or here with details if you need me.

So, I checked my finances, and I received the UCF Scholars Award this semester. This frees up a month of rent to put toward a new computer. My father has said he's not going to be part of buying a gaming computer, but I figure if I buy some combination of the chipset, graphics card and CPU, he'll pitch in for the rest.

That said, I've been out of the computer-building loop for six solid years. What makes a good $800-1000-1200+ gaming desktop nowadays, ladies and gentlemen? My only caveat is that I'm not buying any nVidia hardware, after getting fucked over on the last one.

Edit: All right, if you can persuade me, I'll get nVidia.

Messer raises a good point. We do need a thread for Warhammer questions. Any questions you might have about everyone's favorite grimdark tabletop game and its related lore and games, post them here!
