I am building a new PC and am was trying to figure out what to do with my old one when I suddenly realized I have a copy of Windows Server 2012 R2, a bunch of 1 or 2 TB drives, and a couple spare SSD's, just sitting around doing nothing special. So now I am wondering... Would it be worth turning...

I am looking to change my lifestyle a little and get out from behind the desk and the desktop most of the time. I will still do Photoshop, rip my video collection (over 700 movies and 500 TV episodes), and do my serious shooters on it. But it would be nice to relax on the couch or in bed, watch...

Ignore, double posted.

From the title you may think I am talking about Warcraft with guns, but I am not.. Guncraft is more like the graphics and block based building aspects of Minecraft mixed with the multi-player FPS gameplay of Counterstrike or Battlefield. You can make your own maps, possibly import structures...

I have looked at about 10 boards so far and haven't found any with more than 8 internal Sata connectors. I would really like to have 10 on my next board since I have room for 10 SATA devices in my case and I would like to put as many of my available drives as possible inside my case instead of...

So as of this past weekend one of my systems is suddenly unable to get any work. I have restarted the system, rebooted the PC, pretty much done everything I can think of, including switching to -advmethods, then back to -bigadv after the regular smp unit was started, and still nothing. I just...

If you have multiple PCs with monitors near each other and have never seen this program, well, you need to see it now since it is on sale for $19.99. Just go to link below, select "Buy now" and then select the Pro version, price will drop to $19.99 in your cart...

I have turned in two -bigadv units this week with my new i7-930 that I set up last weekend, but ever since I turned in the second one this morning I have been getting much lower point units (P6065 for example). I also set up another system this afternoon, an i7-920, and the systems first unit...

This may come across a bit hostile, and that is intentional. I want to piss people off enough to get them to freaking do something!!!! So I have come back to the horde recently after some time off from folding, and so far I have found the guides/FAQs to be seriously lame. They definitely used...

I am thinking of buying a 5.25" front panel fan controller, but I have no idea what kind to get. Everything I find on Newegg that meets my minimum requirements seem to have lots of reports of failures in the first year, even if they are 4 star or higher on average. (Newegg is not a requirement...

Last night I played the first few scenes of MW2, through the part where you defend various restaurants from attack by Russians. I realize this is supposed to be an alternate universe kind of thing, and it is just a game, but the story still seems entirely ridiculous so far.... A US Army...

Anyone else with a 4870x2 looking at these new cards and thinking "meh"? I may have paid $200 more than the current 5870 price, but that was over a year ago. I have had 5870, or near 5870 performance, in every game for all that time. So it was far more cost effective than purchasing a 4870...

Given the nature of the Left 4 Dead, and the ridiculously stupid things I have seen people due in the game, I thought I would create a thread for people to tell their stories about the stupidest teammates they have had to deal with. Hopefully the stories will be a little humorous, and a little...

I have been a long time builder of serious gaming rigs, and last year I decided to finally build and HTPC. However, I got sidetracked after I purchased the case and a PVR-350, and I didn't get back to building the HTPC until a couple weeks ago. I finally ironed out the last issue last night...

Costco has a great "Superbowl" deal on a new TV: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11182949&whse=BC&topnav=&browse= Of course if you order the TV online you won't get it by Superbowl time, but it's still an incredibly low price for a 47" 1080p TV. A few additional things to be...

It's December again, time for those of us who are fortunate enough not to have/be a kid in a children's hospital to bust out our wallets and make a little difference for those who do/are, and what better charity for the Gaming section than Child's Play? http://www.childsplaycharity.org/...

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=11300 As per the above article BF2142 does NOT track any of your activities OUTSIDE the game itself. All this "Spyware" does is figure out what region of the world you are in to make sure ads are appropriate to your area, track when you...

I have a phase change unit and a watercooling system. What I am wondering is if I can merge the two to get better results from the watercooling on my GPU's (with the probable downside of slightly worse results for the CPU). I have thought of a number of ways of doing this, all involving...

So I bought SiN on DVD. I brought it home, started the install, waited about 20 minutes for it to download everything from the DVD to my harddrive. Steam asks for the CD-key, I enter it. Then it says I have to wait about 4 or 5 hours for the freaking game to download from Steam. WTF? I...

Anyone know if the PPU make a difference to this Demo suite from Ageia? http://www.megagames.com/news/html/demos/novodexrocket-physicsdemo.shtml

Got one of these for sale: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130248 $375 shipped (US only). It's been used for about 5 months. I have never had any problems with it. Used it in SLI with another 7800GTX without issues. Never OC'ed, so no idea what it's...

eVGA 7800GTX 256mb. $400/obo. Free Shipping in the US. About 5 months old, works perfectly, never OC'ed. Includes original packaging and accessories.

My bad

I have 2 EVGA 7800GTX's in SLI in my current rig, but I need a little cash so I would like to sell them. The cards are just a few months old and so far have worked very well, but I have never overclocked them so I don't know how well they will do in that regard. Here is a link to my 3dmark...

Mods, is there any way we can get gamercard capabilities added to the forums? Either as a profile option or maybe as an option similar to , like this: Muffler72 I have seen both of these methods used on other forums, and it seems pretty cool. It shouldn't be to excessively hard to...

Total number of games per system that are currently listed as having ship dates at ebgames.com: PC: 90 PS2: 83 Xbox: 73 PSP: 47 Xbox 360: 41 Nintendo DS: 35 GameCube: 24 Gameboy Advance: 23 (I may be off by 1 or 2 on the systems with more titles since I had to scroll through the...

Anyone else get hooked on this game already after only 1 day? I played for about 4 hours last night and had a blast. So far I am still in the 20's making silent movies with no subtitles, but it's still pretty fun, and the options when you write your own scripts are pretty impressive...

Just thought I would let everyone who missed the $599 price from Monarch in on nearly as good a deal from a slightly less known e-tailer, Digitallyunique. http://www.digitallyunique.com/ada4400cdbox.html BTW, here is a link to ZDNET's rating of Digitiallyunique...

I have been playing videogames for 23 years, From Atari 2600, Apple IIC, and Gameboy games all the way through modern PC, Xbox/PS2, and PSP games and never before has a game upset me so much. The problem is that Guildwars is visually as incredible as any other game out there and has a huge...

I have created a colony called "[H]ard Colony" for the Xbox 2 promotional game Our Colony (www.ourcolony.net). Once you have PLAYed the game enough to get to the point of chosing a colony please use the password 29496480 to join [H]ard Colony!

Don't know if you guys have seen this before, but if I could figure out how to order one I would have 2 on the way tomorrow... http://www.lian-li.com/Product/OA/OA_F1.htm (Yes, that is a Lian-Li PC-V1000 in the PC slot, I would have 2 of those on the way too!).

So I got my BFG 6800U OC yesterday. I wanted to put it in my wife's PC since I already had an x800XT-PE that OC'ed like a champ in mine, but her PSU wasn't up to spec for a 6800U so I ended up giving her the PE and I used the 6800. So now I go into my games and everything is really dark...

I currently have the setup listed below, but my BFG 6800Ultra OC just shipped from Dell on Monday and should be here soon. I bought it for my wife's PC since she needed something a little more powerful than a Radeon 9700np to run EQ2 the way she wants it to run. So my question is, with the...

EQ2's been out longer yet there are more threads about WoW.

In HL2 did you find yourself running from enemies instead of fighting them? Especially in the first few levels after you get a weapon? Personally even after I got the pistol I would only shoot at the ones in front of me and would run from anyone behind me. I did it without thinking even...

and DAMN that shit looks good. Graphically I would say the engine is about equally to the D3 engine, though it's hard to judge because of the difference in game design. However HL2's interactivity with the environment has all other games ever made beat by about 3 billion percent. I...

Arcade, Board, Card, Console, PC..... Which game on what system/format was your best ever Multiplayer experience. (Please keep it to "games", no including the 3 way you had in the computer lab at college (unless you were all mudding at the time as well)). Mine was Doom/Doom 2 Co-op...

Bind the right mouse key to your "flashlight". Then instead of having to hit F or a weapon button, or scroll down, all of which are a bit challenging to do when something pops out at you, you can just rightclick and start firing with the last weapon you had equipped. It's definitely saved my...

Can anyone tell me if there is an actual difference between these two items from newegg: I just bought one of them yesterday, and now today there are two of them with slightly different model numbers but otherwise they appear the same. It is just a new heatsink with the newer model or...
