--- Quote from: H_TeXMeX_H ---Considering the options for playing games:

1) Keep Winblow$ for playing games, this also means buying new vid card :(

2) Buy a PS3 ... even if it includes DMR :(

3) Try to make Wine work ... it won't :(

4) Buy an XBox 360 and have it crash quite often :(

5) Give up and shoot yourself in the head, cuz everything on this planet sux ass :(

So ... which is the better choice ... the lesser of the evils ? I say #2

Of course, I will also play opensource games for Linux, but there are only so many, and I'll get bored of them some day.

To play games you use cedega/WineX. I got it installed and running on Fedora Core 4

The correct answer is to buy a Mac and play Apeiron X and Tetris until the end of time.  That's my plan, so far.  :D

Knowing some of the idiot engineers who've designed stuff for us at work it could be the designer's fault, but I accept what you're saying is probably a far more likely explanation.


--- Quote from: e7ement ---it's probebly the design teams fault...a psu that powers a powerful machine (yes he xbox360 pwns 95% of computers in gaming) in a tiny little box, maybe they need to put on some heatsinks / airflow ducts, or stick it inside the xbox with some active cooling.

Another possibility is the mechanical engineers who've designed the case haven't provided adequate ventilation for the electronic componants.
