jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft Do you have a microphone? Yes Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join. Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join. This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad. Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in. By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.

Question
Janke 1st MRB
Well, ladies and gents, I've decided it's about time to upgrade. I haven't put anything more than RAM and a GFX card in my computer since I got it, and the card is starting to get a little dated (2 years). I figured, 4GB of RAM and a Q6600 quad are still decent specs, let's upgrade the rest. Now, I have a prebuilt that's been upgraded, so the motherboard isn't spectacular, and neither is the case, so I'm worried that I may need a new case later today as well, but I'll have the upgrades done by tonight (hopefully).
Here are my current specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
4GB DDR2 RAM
500GB HDD
Zotac NVidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB
360 watt shitty PSU
As you can see, about time for an upgrade, considering the graphically intensive games I play. Here's what I bought today to upgrade with (Cell phone photos ahoy!):
First, I was on the hunt for a graphics card. I knew it was going to be a GTX 400 series, and this EVGA NVidia GeForce GTX 460 SE 1GB was the best price that a retail store had to offer.
This set me back about $170, the price was cheaper than the $170 listed, and I haven't sent in the mail-in rebate that it says it comes with.
I needed a PSU to go with this, as 360 watts won't pump out enough power for a GTX 460 SE, so I bought the Ultra X4 750 watt Modular PSU I figured I'd buy more than I need so when I upgrade the core components I'd have a bit of futureproofing insurance.
The thing's a big bastard. This and the card are the 2 things that make me think I'll need a new case, my current 9600GT barely fits as is, but then again it's a slim and long one.
I had some extra cash in my budget, so I figured I'd spoil myself and add Blu-Ray capabilities to my PC, to help me watch some of the ones I got for Christmas, so I don't take up the PS3 for hours. That's why I got the HP bd240i SATS Blu-Ray Combo Drive. I got this open-box for $67, so a fair bit cheaper than the official site. It reads BD-R, but unfortunately doesn't write them, that model was $100 more, and I wasn't about to spend that.
Christ, this picture turned out shaky...
A while ago, I took a chance with a newegg holiday sale and got myself one of the "Deathstar" 1TB Hard drives. I thankfully got one from after the bad 2009 batch, but I got a Hitachi Deskstar 1TB 7200RPM 32MB HDD. Set me back $65-ish, but I wanted a new hard drive, I've managed to waste almost 500GB of mine now, and I want to run a triple boot of Ubuntu-Win7-Vista, mostly because I don't want to format this 500GB, I need some data off it, and it's easier to transfer Steam over than re-download some 200GB of games and mods.
I'm hoping to do a video like when I built that computer for my parents going about upgrading my computer, I got a new HD camera for Christmas and want to try it out. I'll post as more unfolds.
