This guide will show you how to connect your Playstation 2 to your computer monitor and easily switch between the two on the fly. This guide has been migrated from my old guides site to here.

HDMI is not covered, but there are now HDMI switch boxes you can get, which will be a little simpler as long as your monitor has an HDMI input...

There are many reasons to build your own PC instead of buying a Dell, HP, or other pre-assembled PC. The most common reasons are that it's fun, it gives you a sense of accomplishment and confidence, it gives you more control over what goes into your PC, and it usually costs less...

Starcraft II offers a very refined and lengthy campaign mode with wholly unique and fun to play missions. For those upset about only having a Terran campaign (with the Zerg and Protoss campaigns saved for future expansions), let me quell your distress by saying that the campaign mode is easily more in-depth and lengthy than all 3 campaigns from the original combined. Each and every mission feels as though it was given individual attention, and most missions will take you between 20 minutes to an hour to complete, depending on your skill level...

Long story short, I purchased a Phenom II X2 555 processor and ASRock M3A785GXH/128M motherboard from Newegg a few weeks back (see this post) in the hopes that I could also get an X4 on the cheap. While I am very satisfied with my upgrades for the price I paid, I unfortunately did not have any luck unlocking the extra 2 cores on the Phenom II X2. Read on for the details...
