Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
i was thinking about getting a new PC soon, and i was wanting some ideas as what to get. i'm prolly gonna order it from like ibuypower or somewhere like that. i'm looking to spend somewhere around $1000-$1200. i figure i'll go ahead and get vista and a dx10 card. i prefer AMD and Nvidia, so some setup with an X2 CPU with SLI will work.
well, i've got this PC hooked up to my 32" LCD TV.

why SLI? whats your monitor resolution?
Get from newegg,
Yet wait a bit longer dx 10.1 cards are to I think either be announced, or come november, meaning the 8800's will drop in price maybe soon, I got a 8800gts 320 mb for 279.99
- aim for the intel core 2 duo E6750, It is the best deal and awesome performance. It runs FSB 1333 200.00 - with this you need thermal compund, get arctic silver 5 for 5 bucks - Go for a well priced motherboard, ASUS and Gigabyte are great brands, I currently have the Gigabyte P35 DS3L motherboard, was only 100, most motherboards are more expensive because they have more unneeded additions. - ddr2 800 g.skill ram on newegg is great and the best price aswell. it was 80 - your going to want a case LOOKS ARE NOT FREAKEN EVERYTHING, I have a case was only 60 but has awesome airflow, paying 100 for a case is crap, buying cases online is quite difficult, also shipping is very expensive, find a local computer store. - go for sata, my 320gb sata hd was 75 - power supply's are difficult, buying online I do not recommend, if your computer wont start up, look to the power supply will be the #1 problem! I tried RMAing a faulty power supply I recieved from zipzoomfly, no success, no e-mail, I did it right too, never got the replacement, so I lost 60 bucks, I got it at a local store for 80, it was a ultra 600w power supply. 600w is plenty, 1,000w is a waste. Avoid low priced power supply's, recommended brands: ultra, silverstone, seagate, corsair, ect, avoid power supplys that may come with cases
so lets round, the price is roughly 900, depending on the sales
setting up the computer is a breeze, instructions come with your parts
I can post some example parts, I can give feedback on parts you may consider
well, from ibuypower, i went with that CPU, a Asus P5KPL-VM motherboard, 2gb pc800 ram, an eVGA 8800GTS 320mb(was $230), a SATA 160gb hd(i don't need a huge one), and a CD/DVD R/RW, and it came out to $966 without software(OS, etc...). would that be a good PC? and i'm assuming i should get vista instead of XP.

Vista has its things, while XP is much more stable, but more games are going to be Vista only compatible. I would recommend XP, but go with Vista! Vista Ultimate or Home Prem. is good!

yea thats good, do notice the Asus P5KPL-VM is I think a micro ATX mobo, meaning its rather small, you did not list a power supply
