Currently you're ridiculously overslotted in in several powers (one of which is an "Oh Crap!" button godmode with a nasty crash at the end that should only EVER be used in DIRE emergencies).
Also, you are COMPLETELY unslotted for real damage. Most of your heavily slotted stuff is slotted for knockback. On an Invuln tank, knockback is the enemy! Your defenses rely on you keeping hordes of enemies around to keep your defenses high.
On a different melee secondary, I'd say "Sure, keep Spring Attack!" But you've already got THREE (count 'em!) AoE attacks (Whirling Axe, Cleave, and Pendulum).
Here's a quickie build. Not optimal power placement (SIIIIIIIIIIIIDEKIIIIIIIIICK!!!). But it should work fairly well.
You're not QUITE soft-capped on S/L or F/C. A single set of Kinetic Combats in place of one set of Smashing Haymaker will cap you for S/L while you're close enough to the F/C softcap that you honestly shouldn't need the extra half-percent or so.
If you can get a couple of KinCombat sets together, you can start doing other things. Like swapping in some LOTG +Recharge IOs and LOTG Defense IOs. While your defense will come down a little for E/N and F/C, you'll welcome the recharge and the additional Regen.

Okay, suggestion if you're buying in pieces, BUY THE VIDEO CARD LAST!
Right now nVidia's on the cusp of rolling out it's next-gen stuff. But even if you don't get one of them, the current generation of cards will drop in price.
As for AMD vs Intel. Just go Intel. AMD is essentially a waste of money right now.
Intel i5 2500K CPU $220
Intel Z68 motherboard $190
8+GB of DDR3 memory $47 (Known compatible with the motherboard)
Case (whatever blows your skirt up)
650W or better PSU $175
Still getting boned rough and raw by the hard drive crisis right now $180
Current pick for Video Card:
Either a
1GB GTX 560 Ti $250
or a
2GB GTX 560 Ti $280
Optical: You can get yourself a DVD burner or a Blu-Ray player.
With a bit of judicious shopping, you may be able to fit this into your budget. -

Well, just got a gigantic "DENIED" on hooking up my TV. Got a cable that bridges the distance between my PC and my TV just fine. But the HDMI connector on the card is jammed all the way at the top of the card and the HDMI plug doesn't fit! Now the actual CONNECTOR would fit just fine. But the damn PLUG portion simply will NOT fit.
Okay figured it out. The connector is a MINI-HDMI to HDMI. Not HDMI to HDMI or Micro-HDMI to HDMI.
Quick trip back to the store to get the right connector and BOOM.
Pushing a picture across from my phone now. -

I can also confirm this is definitely NOT the norm. You might want to expand the blame for this beyond Windows... like maybe a rootkit or something else weird going on, but in all the Win7 machines I've been working on (gettin' to be about 100 in my operations now) none of them do this 'auto arrange' reset. They stay like they're supposed to.
It may be "middleware" (aka crapware) installed by the PC manufacturer/vendor. -

I think Invincibility will likely need to be changed to a constant buff rather than a scaling buff if they keep to past scaling powers for Stalkers (WP and EA).
Tough Hide seems like the obvious choice to go with replacing for Hide, as Hide will replace the defense aspect of Tough Hide.
Though I wouldn't be suprised if it was Resist Energies, if they want to help keep the set more focused on not being hit, which tends to favor the Stalker playstyle for many.
If they really want to keep it awesome for Stalkers, I'd keep Tough Hide, replace Resist Energy for Hide, and rename Resist Physical Damage to Resist Damage and have it resist all that Resist Physical Damage and Resist Energy Damage can.
Honestly, no, I don't want them to chuck ANY of the resists.
If a power has to be moded, let it be Invincibility. It'd have to be changed anyhow with the aggro aura it puts out. Let Invinc be modded into the stealth power. Provides a big boost to defense when hidden and a smaller boost when out of hide. -
Having to uninstall and reinstall over the directory in C:\program files (x86)\Titan Network\

I uninstalled Mid's, wiped out the directory and reinstalled. It starts up as 1.953. I go to RE-start the app, and it starts up as 1.952.

People like to be able to rest their arm on a surface to use a computer for a long period of time, which is why a mouse works so well. Unfortunately, putting a touch screen monitor flat on a desk will give you neck pain.
One day we'll have some sort of vertical 3D interface where you interact with it on the desk surface, but you don't have to look down to see what you're doing...
Actually the whole "gorilla arm" issue was known well before Jobs. -

Probably the thing that annoyed me the most about XP was the wizards I could never find the off switch for that kept offering to "clean up my desktop" :/
By the way, set up another account for my mom to use on my computer a while back, and it won't let her delete desktop shortcuts to my games because of "insufficient" permission - is there a way around that, (I've set UAC to never notify) or is it a permanent feature of "User Access Censorship"? -

Also, got a Doctor Who 3D Chess Set, latest Doctor, 3D in that it's got lenticular images in the peices that move as you look at them
But now, I'm needing an extra HDMI cable. Playing CoH on a 24" monitor's cool. Playing it on my big screen (at 1920x1080 no less) should rock... -

You know Windows 7's obsessive need to rearrange the desktop, and re-shuffle the Start menu so that you can't use either without problems, forced me to cram icons for everything into the tiny quick launch in the task bar?
Also, the only thing the start menu should be doing is alphabetizing your apps. Something I used to have to manually make it do. I'm just peeved about how they added extra layers of crap (yes, crap) to the Control Panel. Now we have to have irrelevant "sections" in the control panel instead of nice, tightly defined control launchers. And the network center...

I did Toys R' Us last year. Granted, I did it on Christmas Eve when it was FLIPPIN' RIDICULOUS!, but I haven't got the slightest clue what to get kids nowadays. And since I'm a computer and comic geek, I have almost nothing in common with a 4 year old girl who is into collecting My Little Pony and a 6 year old cousin who's main hobby seems to be destroying things.
And this year, my present was family tech support for my parents and brother in the form of:
- Brand new backup hard drive
- A copy of Acronis True Image Plus 2012
- A copy of Perfect Disk 12.5
- And the labor to get everything defragged, imaged, and get regular backups going.

I have contacted support on this issue and they've been no help whatsoever. They have basically recited what is in the wiki regarding how to make Caleb appear. I have read the page in the wiki a number of times.
Here's what I'm doing:
I go to Nerva, go to Thorn Isle, wait until daytime and begin killing daemons. I kill them all "day" long. There's no telling how many I've killed (I don't count). The sun sets in Nerva, the zone event message pops up in my chat box that "The Demon Caleb has been spotted..." I've left some nerva daemons alive so that I can follow them to Caleb. But guess what, the daemons don't go anywhere. They just sit there, floating around. Regardless, when I have gotten that message after killing hundreds of nerva daemons, I have put on my jet pack and fly high above thorn isle. I search all over thorn isle (in the air of course as I know he spawns high above the island). I search all (in-game) night long all over thorn isle. Caleb does not really appear after I get the zone event message. I have tried it and gotten the zone event message on five separate occasions (with days or weeks in between because it's frustrating doing this only to find nothing) and I'm about to give up. I guess I'm just not meant to get that badge because there is something wrong.
I wish I was making this up, but it's frustrating when you see the zone event message, then hunt all over the place above thorn isle only to find nothing, and then the sun rise again without ever having seen a glimpse of Caleb.
Am I doing something wrong or is something wrong with the game?
Please Help! I want this badge so I can finally go back Heroside and work on the rest of the badges.
AFAIK, the ghosts don't go after Caleb.
Also, he appears up at the top of the zone and is relatively hard to see.
This is something that's best to have a team for. Not necessarily to kill Caleb. But to actually find him. -

Your problem will be that the copy of XP on the hard drive won't start up the current system most likely.
Moreover, you probably won't be able to find XP drivers to re-enable all the hardware even if it did.
