Thoughts, ideas, opinions on maybe having some type of Official [H]|Gaming IRC channel?
Once this gets going, it would be cool to have a place to chat with folks while I sit at my desk all day at work.
Update: Join us in #hardgaming on irc.gamesurge.net
or...

I know that I can pm a mod and get my thread title changed, but I'm wondering how often changing the title is acceptable?
Should I request a change of title for my FS/FT/WTB thread whenever the main things listed in my title are found/sold, or should I just close it and start a new thread...
A coworker of mine sold me this OCZ Vertex 64Gb SSD yesterday.
I have it set up as my boot drive and this is what I get from HD Tune:
Does this look right? I guess I was expecting it to be a little higher/consistent.
I bought this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150454) XFX HD5850 from MicroCenter about a month ago and I'm wanting to get another to go put in crossfire, but I'm having a hard time finding one.
My questions is:

I've heard/read a lot about how much quieter your computer is if you go with water cooling, but I'm kind of confused because you still have fans and the pump that are going to produce noise.
Is it that much quieter than going with air cooling?

A friend of mine has an extra Patriot PS-100 32Gb SSD laying around that he said he would sell me for $50. I know that 32gb is not gonna be of any use, but would buying another one and throwing them in a Raid 0 be worth the money?
Right now im using an old 160Gb Toshiba 7200 drive as my system...
I bought an HD5850 last weekend and the minimum required PSU is 500w (which mine meets -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182044)

I'm planning on buying an XFX HD5850 today from Microcenter.
I recently upgraded my processor & motherboard from an AMD X2 4400+ (939) / DFI LanParty to a AMD Phenom II X4 940 and Asus board.
Right now I'm using my old 8800GT.
I know I'm going to see a big improvement with the HD5850...
Fable 2 was that game that I always said I wanted to play but was pushed aside by whatever new game was coming out.
I picked it up last week and finished the main quest last night.
Holy shit was it awesome!
My character was more good/pure than evil and I ended up picking the wish to...
I have a WinMo devices that is connecting to exchange wirelessly via ActiveSync and it's acting kind weird.
Only some emails will show up on the device. All emails show up in Outlook. There are no rules or anything else set up to move the email around in the mailbox.

I have a launch Pro 20gb model that 3RRoD'd on me about this time last year. Pretty lucky that it's lasted as long as it has. Microsoft fixed that for free.

We have a client that has companyname.com
Whoever designed their site for them set the nameserver for the domain to ns1.companyname.com and ns2.companyname.com
To me this seems like a flawed way to set up the DNS for the domain. They have been having problems with receiving email which I...
Ok, so I've been rocking the computer in my sig for a few years now. Still running DDR1. I typically only upgrade every 3-4 years.
So my question is, what would be the smartest thing to do right now as far as upgrading goes? I'm going to have to upgrade Mobo, PSU, and RAM with upgrading...
Right now I'm running:
DFI LanParty SLI-DR
AMD X2 4400+
2Gb Corsair DDR400
512 8800GT
I'm looking to replace the mobo, cpu, and ram with
Asus P5Q Pro
Q6600
4Gb G.Skill
I'll be keeping my 8800gt right now as I don't have it in my budget to upgrade it.
With all this considered...
Does anyone know how to use the camera strictly from the terminal?
I need to be able to take pictures, but only have access to the terminal of the Mac.
Ok, so MGS 4 is coming out next week. I really want to play it, but I'm not sure if I can justify buying a PS3 just for that game.
What other games (PS3 exclusive) would make it worth it? I already have a 360 and wii, and a computer capable of playing any game.
The Blue-Ray playback is a...
Just wondering if anyone has an XFPS 360 Pro and if so, how well does it work with Halo 3?
Please no flames about not using a controller on a console :p

eVGA 6800GT (AGP :( )
2x80 GB in raid0
My question is, would I see any substantial boost in performance if I were to upgrade my mobo from AGP to PCIe and get a 7800gt? Newegg's got...
Got my call today that my Xbox 360 was at the store.
Hopefully that'll mean most all EB Games will be getting second shipments this week.

so, what do you guys think?
also, i haven't played the FF XII demo yet, but when i do, ill report back.
Alright, so last week i downloaded and installed BF2: Special Forces from the EA downloader. But whenever i tried to join a game, it would get 62% while loading (and optimizing shaders) and just sit there. If i pressed escape to get out, it would just stay on the unloading resources screen...
