Don't intentionally put spiders in computer cases

I wouldn't be surprised to see them push away from the CBOC platform entirely, and like other posters have said Valve is apprehensive about the direct Windows/DX seems to be taking and have done a lot of new work with OpenGL. Also, Gabe hated dealing with XBL and Microsoft, Valves games work...

I'm going to make a bold prediction here; moving to OpenGL and performance testing the OpenGL and Linux speed isn't about "improving" the Source engine or even targeting Linux users as customers - it's about benchmarking OpenGL vs. DirectX performance differences when paired up with a...

This is one of the most informed posts on the matter, but I'll have to disagree with you on the "no new engine" thing - I'd be more than willing to bet they have a good number of people working on it now. At this point a new engine, mostly for scratch just makes sense. Let's see: -Like you...

I haven't seen those BlueArcs anywhere since I toured a DC at Purdue years ago. Do they really run for half a million each? (that's what I was told at the time)

I'll have to take Gigabyte into consideration now, that's great customer service I've been a loyal EVGA fan for pretty much forever, but maybe next round I'll price-compare :)

Yeah, I understood that, I was just asking what kind of stuff was running on it (were log files being written to it 24 hours a day, was it just a boot drive, etc)

Do you have a link to the model and pics?

what kind of wear/usage has the Samsung SLC Green Drive 100gb seen

edit: wrong thread

I've never heard of gamersgate, so I'll have to do some investigations on the company before I purchase. This is a very hot deal though. As for Scheibler1's question: most sites like this usually continue re-downloading forever, but a lot of them that are selling steamworks-enabled games like...

Your anecdotes don't negate that fact that, thanks to the laws of physics, motherboards see a greater than linear increase in probability of failure as time goes on. MSI and other companies have to take this into account when they make products and decide on warranties, or they would be caught...

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Limited warranties are there for a reason - parts are definitely going to die, they have to - that's just physics. You motherboard lasted the full three years it was supposed to, plus more - that's a good run for something with billions of tiny...
