"Not anymore"

The biggest help here would be the exact message that comes up when your PC BSODs. 
 
For instance, almost a year and a half ago my PC constantly blue screened and it was because my SSD's drivers weren't updated properly (watchdog error I believe?)

A lot of assumptions being made here.
We don't take money to do reviews. We never have.
We take money to do advertisements, which are never labeled as reviews.
NVIDIA provided the graphics cards (and Cooler Master sent cases and coolers, ASUS sent motherboards, Intel sent CPUs, Kingston sent SSDs and RAM, Swiftech sent water cooling gear) for our editing workstations for product placement in the whole room water cooling series of videos we produced featuring this hardware extensively.
In the grand scheme of things, $6000 of graphics cards (don't imagine that's their BOM cost on them either) is a great deal for 1-2M impressions on a series of videos about using them.. but those videos were NOT a review. They were about a clearly sponsored (we said it was more than once) outrageous project.
As for sending "keeper" vs "loaner" units of hardware, yeah for many products we just don't do loaners anymore, but more than anything else this is to do with me not feeling like it's worth my time to play email tag for shipping labels and spend an hour driving to FedEX and filling out stupid international bill of landing and commercial invoice nonsense over like a $100 item that costs more to send back than to just not bother with anyway.
That and quite frankly even a negative review (for some reason) often generates a lot of sales for the manufacturer.. so as far as I'm concerned they can eat the cost of the item and I'll do whatever I want with it when we're done reviewing it - whether that's continuing to use it personally (Pebble Steel and iPhone 6 come to mind) - or re-visiting it only when we need to re-do our comparative numbers (here's a lesson on why this is necessary and we can't just re-use old numbers)
And on the subject of the Pebble and iPhone 6 - these are both items that were NOT provided by the manufacturer. One was purchased for my own use and the other was provided by a separate sponsor who makes skins for phones (dBrand), but I didn't necessarily mention this at the time because who cares? It doesn't colour my impressions of the device.
Here's an item I wasn't allowed to keep and won one of the two editor's choice awards I've ever given out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1uj6wQTu58
Here's an item was allowed to keep that I ripped apart saying it was worse across the board than the two similar products from other manufacturers that I compared it against: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O1aCNrjV64
Here's an item I was allowed to keep that I basically ripped apart on camera and sent it back anyway because it had so little value to me I didn't even want to give it to a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3AgcltUM9s
And I could do this all day..
You may notice that most of the items we review we are fairly positive about. There is a reason for this, and it has nothing to do with being paid to review it.
I don't generally bother to review stuff that I already know is stupid junk.
The bottom line is this. You can either trust me or not trust me. Ultimately that's your deal. My job is to do what I do, and the people who recognize it for what it is - my opinion being given to you - will follow, and the others can go find someone who maybe they think "hasn't sold out" but might just "happen to agree with them" to listen to. Enjoy.

In short; It doesn't really matter which one you use. I used a VGA converter from my Xbox 360 once and it was completely fine, so use whatever seems easiest for you! Like CCap mentioned:
 
I would personally go for VGA on your Xbox, so you can use the DVI input for something better suited for it! Because frankly it really wont matter.

Frankly I would use VGA just so I can leave the DVI port open for other things in the future. (e.g. laptop, pc, etc)
 
As long as the VGA cable isn't too long, the only real difference is how the information is being carried. (Analog Vs. Digital)

All you have to do is make a fake account and buy the game as a gift. Gift it to yourself, this way when valve inevitably finds out that you were using a VPN for a better deal, they'll ban a useless account.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I will be the only forum member messaging the winners of this giveaway. If you receive a message from any other member telling you that you won something, it is NOT legit, and you should NOT respond to that message.

I may not be adding a fan. as of right now things are really tight, and although i havent done a full comprehensive test of it,  i have run firestrike and nothing has screamed at me yet to shut it down. Also good to note that what you cant see are the vents under the system where the GPU is and the very small feet i put on it to raise it up so that it can breathe. The vents are ugly as hell so i didnt show them haha.

This website describes what the internet would be like without net neutrality. http://jointhefastlane.com/
 
Basically, think of it as equality to all websites. If Verizon and Comcast had it their way, they would throttle our connections to things like Youtube, Netflix, and other bandwith-hogging websites. In order to get our full connection speeds that we're paying for, we will instead have to pay extra money to get equal bandwith to those sites, or to 'have a fast lane'. e.g. Verizon might cap all connections to youtube to 500kb/s unless you paid extra to have that unlocked.
 
Net neutrality is very important to us consumers of media. We need to be backing this.

Javascript, jQuery, and HTML can all be learned from codecademy.com - however you'll have to learn SQL somewhere else. Codecademy is free, and what I used to learn Ruby. It is a fair bit of reading, (since all of the tutorials are written in text) but I can safely say that you'll remember what you're doing since it is giving you things to code and allowing you to try them yourself before you are able to move on.
 
It ensures that you have safely mastered a concept before moving onto another, more difficult one. Personally I would have loved to learn C++ on codecademy, but unfortunately they don't offer it. I ended up having to learn a vast majority of it from random youtube tutorials (like bucky, aka theNewboston) and a few other Udemy courses. 
 
Good luck on your web development adventure.

I'll just leave this here to contribute to the argument.

The information that I originally stated here ended up being released anyways, and my predictions were wrong. GG Acer.

This goal actually didnt really bother me
