3 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoIf I replace everything on my desktop except for the hard drive, will I still have all my data?
I got a new computer recently, and I was wondering about this for when I start upgrading. I was just wondering if I only kept my hard drive, if everything would stay the same data-wise. I'm fairly certain that this is the case, but I would feel safer double checking before I start upgrading.

2 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoDesktop build for $300?
I asked this question a while ago, and got a good answer. However, I was wondering about a second build. I have $500, however I live where shipping is expensive and I don't have access to parts locally, and I'm paying a local business to build the computer. Don't include OS in price, I have an OS already. The heaviest game I plan on playing before upgrading would be team fortress 2.

3 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoWhat to look for in a power supply when building a desktop?
I'm learning how to build a desktop right now, as noted by previous questions. I've been looking through websites trying to figure out how to make sure the power supply is compatible with the other parts. I was suggested this one for my build:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
However I've noticed it has no power cords, so I was wondering why I couldn't use this one for example:

I'm not sure what to look at to figure out compatibility, so heres the case and motherboard:

6 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoWhat are the risks when building a desktop?
I asked a question yesterday about a 300 dollar computer build, and there are some in my family who are skeptical about building a computer as this would be the first time I have built a computer. I have found a video to follow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1NxsHpaL_s), and was wondering what are the risks to building a desktop. Also, after I follow this guide, are the only parts left obtaining an OS like Microsoft XP, and hooking up a monitor, keyboard and mouse?

2 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoyugioh question about alien mother's effect?
I was play testing my cat synchro against my aliens, and this is what happened:
I had gol'gar and 2 A cell breeders on one side of the field, and a clear field on the other side. My cat synchro summoned rescue cat, got goyo out, and stole gol'gar. I then summoned alien mother+alien dog, and put counters on gol'gar. Alien mother stole gol'gar, and then gol'gar used the counters generated from A cell breeders to destroy goyo. within the next few turn, my gol'gar got book of moon used on it, and then alien mother was destroyed. Since my gol'gar was summoned by alien mother, is it destroyed even though it's face down?

4 AnswersMathematics1 decade agoNeed a replacement for allures in Demise Town OTK?
I was looking for a deck a couple of months back to build, and I found one that suits my playing style(Demise), and I looked for the cheapest way to build one that was still good. I got everything except for allures for the build, and then I come to find the original *fake* release date for raging battle special editions(With allures) was pushed back to three days AFTER the tournament I was building it for. Now I need a replacement for the 2 spots in my deck the allures were gonna take up:
3x Demise, king of armageddon
3x Mechanicalchaser
3x Manju of the 10k hands
3x Dekoichi
3x Black Salvo
2x Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon
1x Sangan
3x Geartown
2x Trade-in
2x End of the World
1x Monster Reborn
1x Advanced Ritual Art

1 AnswerCard Games1 decade agoSoul release in this deck?
I've noticed the WORST thing to happen when you get all those shiny OTK cards is that you forgot your opponent had Necro gardna in their graveyard. Because of this, im gonna soul release into my deck, but I don't know if it should be mained or side-decked. Which one should it be?
Also, if you could make a side deck for this deck, it would be helpful, cause I got regionals to go to soon:
3x Demise, king of armageddon
3x Mechanicalchaser
3x Manju of the 10k hands
3x Dekoichi
3x Black Salvo
2x Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon
1x Sangan
3x Geartown
2x Allure of Darkness
2x Trade-in
2x End of the World
1x Monster Reborn
1x Advanced Ritual Art
1x Giant Trunade
1x Heavy Storm
1x Megamorph
1x Terraforming
1x Limiter Removal
3x Reckless Greed
2x Waboku
1x Threatening Roar
I might have solemns to tech soon, but I don't know for sure, so if you need to, put them into the side deck?
