So I had a failure on an ancient Sun UltraSPARC server which was hosting an old PHP app. The server experienced some core software failure, and for various reasons, it is being abandoned. But we still have this old, poorly coded internal PHP app that needs to be hosted. It has some specific...

I am revamping the storage configuration on my fileserver, and I need some help. I am not a storage expert by any stretch of even the most robust imagination. Yeah, I know about software RAID and hardware RAID and the basic crap like that, but not knowing what kind of hardware is "good" for what...

For the few remaining lotro players here, the new expansion pack, Siege of Mirkwood lands today. There are some pretty good trailers.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsRWLtt2KuM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKQSzw015xs&feature=related...

http://store.steampowered.com/app/15100/ It's worth a fiver, even if it wasn't worth $50 at release.

So, for the handful of LOTRO players on this board, what do you think of the features we know of for the Siege of Mirkwood expansion? I'm pretty excited about it, especially for the new skirmish system (diary 1 and 2). Also, I just got this in my email box: so I am pretty pleased...

I did this one today for a friend: Did this one to harass Dan_D: I did this one ages ago for my sister (It's big): Original: Just thought I'd share...

The Dell Mini 9n netbook with Ubuntu, 512MB of RAM and an 8GB SSD hard drive is $199 ($50 off) today only in black or white.

Today only, the Dell SE198WFP 19-inch Wide-screen Flat Panel LCD Monitor is $99. It has one DVI port and one VGA port...pretty standard. Click here.

I snapped this with my phone last night as some thunderstorm and potential tornado weather was rolling in, and I think this came out way better than I had any reason to expect...

So, the game is about 1.5 years old now, and the Mines of Moria expansion is coming quite soon. I'm sure that those of us here that still play it have some pretty groovy characters by now. So let's see them... Here is my Champion (melee AoE DPS and off-Tank) in full Rift (raid) gear. And...

A few weeks ago, I replaced my aging Antecn Nine Hundred case with an Antec Titan 650. The 900 was nice, but it was cramped. It was also a dust magnet, and I was tired of cleaning the acres of grillwork on it. The Titan 650 is a server/workstation chassis and comes with an Antec TruePower...

I just bought them both for $7.49 on Steam. There is also a Rockstar Package collection on sale this weekend with Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Manhunt, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, Midnight Club 2, Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto 2, and Wild...

The title says it all. Out of the above most common display sizes and resolutions, which are you guys and gals using for gaming? I realize that not every possible size display and resolution is represented here. I am mostly interested in LCD resolutions, so no 2048x1436 for you CRT lovers...

For this weekend, Call of Juarez ([H]) is only $9.99 on Steam, down from $29.99. If you missed this game during it's short retail stint, like I did, this may be the excuse you've been looking for.

So, my camera sucks, and I need a new one. I thought I would take this opportunity to step up to a big boy camera and leave this point and shoot nonsense behind. I have narrowed it down to two choices, and I humbly ask those more experienced for advice. First option: Canon EOS Rebel XTI...

So Newegg has a 4 GB DDR2-1066 (2x2) Corsair Dominator kit for $189 before a $40 MIR and free shipping (LINK). Is that a good deal? I haven't bought Corsair memory in a long time. The timing on it is listed at 5-5-5-15. I'm trying to overclock my C2D E6750 beyond 3 GHz, and the Mushkin...

These guys are 2.1 channel speakers with an isobaric subwoofer. That's two 5.5" speakers bolted cone-to-cone, and wired with reverse polarity, so that when one is pushing, the other is pulling. The end effect is that the sub hits very hard for a little 5.5" job...

Today, I upgraded my motherboard, CPU, and memory. I went from an ASUS A8N-SLI with an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+, and 2 GB of Corsair DDR-400 to a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and 4 GB of Mushkin DDR2-800. I have an Enermax Galaxy DXX 1000 W power supply. When I had the...

I purchsed a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R, a C2D E6750, and a 2x2GB Mushkin DDR2-800 kit from newegg. I put it all together, turned it on, and it seems to be working normally, but is giving me this beep code which is driving me insane. Every 3 seconds, I hear 2 short beeps. This happens from the...

As part of the regular updates that Turbine has planned for The Lord of the Rings Online, the Chapter 11 addition (scheduled to launch "this fall") will add DirectX 10 rendering support to the LOTRO client software. According to Meghan Rodberg's (a.k.a. "Patience"; Turbine Community Manager)...

So I've been trying to download this Crysis open beta client from Fileplanet for about a day now. So far, almost every time I get to be about 15 minutes away from the download, I get shuffled to the back of the line again. I even actually started the download at one point, only to get shoved...

So, folks, in answer to the many threads requesting the 10-day buddy passes for The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, I am posting this to encourage our [H] LotRO Players to share their refer-a-friend tickets. According to the LotRO site, every registered user currently has 5 free...

At long last, Ubi has seen fit to give us another patch for Rainbow Six Vegas. It adds widescreen support, 2 new game modes, fixes rather a lot of bugs and comes in at 236 MB.

So shacknews posted some new Hellgate: London screenshots. Am I the only person who thinks the game looks cheesy, flat, and just plain "old"? The action in the videos that they had for it a while back also looks really mundane to me. Thoughts? Opinions? I know this is a game people are...

First, thanks to Kevlarman for giving me that link to that homemade light box in an earlier thread (link). So I made a lightbox out of PVC pipe, a white twin flat sheet, some poster board, and a couple cheapo-depot lamps. It is for taking pictures of video cards. Here is the lightbox...

So I got a new digital camera for taking pictures of video cards, and I snapped this one of a rose in my back yard: It's a Samsung S630. It cost me about $150 with a carrying case, 2 x 1 GB SD cards, and a battery charger with 4 NiMH batteries..

I've never played Fallout. :( I've been hiding that dark secret for years, and it feels good just to get that out. ;) But I just picked it up at Half-Priced Books and installed it. I selected the "Humongous" installation option to copy 640 MB of data to my hard drive. I hope it runs. I...

I was driving home from class the other night, and for some reason my Quake 3 key popped into my head. I bought that game the day it came out almost 7.5 years ago. Who else here still remembers their Quake 3 CD key?

So I woke up today, and it's raining outside. Then I fire up Oblivion on my test system to evaluate how it plays on this video card, and it starts raining about 5 minutes in. Then I star Worlf of Warcraft on the same computer, and...you guess it...it's raining. I don't like rain. This...

I would like to start by saying that I have nothing but respect admiration for ATI hardware. Their drivers have suffered some severe quality issues in the past, but those have been rectified, for the most part. In any case, they are no better or worse than NVIDIA's current driver set. Their...

According to the Shack, Half-Life 2 Episode 2 (et al) has been delayed yet again. Looks like they're claiming it will be out in the Fall of this year now. I don't have much hope. GAH!@!!!@@!

Supreme Commander has Gone Gold, Folks.

Hi Folks. I'm wanting to replace my old P160, and these are the cases I am looking at for it: Antec Nine Hundred -- Kindof wierd, but it's growing on me. Antec NSK6500 I have 2 optical drives, the X-Fi platinum audiodrive, a 3.5" flash card reader, and 3 hard drives. I have a floppy...

So there's this new STALKER video up on FileShack. It's in German, but at the end, it says "März 2007". Which apparently means that this booger's finally coming out. And soon. Yay.

I just wanted to say something about Logitech that has been giving me the red ass. I finally got around to RMA-ing my G5 with a broken right-mouse button a few days after Christmas. They sent DHL to come get it, and they paid for shipping both ways. The replacement mouse arrived in all of its...

We at [H]Enthusiast are adding Medieval II Total War to our High-End gaming test suite. As the game is fairly new, and we haven't played it, I was hoping to get some feedback from any Medieval II players in our forums. If you know of a good place to test, a place that stresses the graphics...

Does anyone here have any experience with passive cooling systems for X1600 PRO reference design cards? If so, can you share Make/Model/Temperatures? Thanks, Mark.
