I'm not sure how this one was off my radar for so long, but I just came across Divinity 2 and it captivated me for 2 days straight of playing, and still going.... I'm a 3rd person RPG nut, and enjoy the European type RPG's like the Gothic series, and if you're a fan of those, pick this up right...

Hey guys, I'm looking to replace my 2 satellites from the Klipsche promedia 2.1 system with a set of bookshelf speakers. Are there better quality speakers available for a suitable replacement to connect to the Klipsche sub?

why is it all the rage for displaying the same picture across 3 monitors? why not get a nice large HDTV or better yet a projector and play on that?

I need to move my windows 7 installation partition to new hard drive. Is there a feature in the OS that can allow me to do this?

My Klipsch 2.1 system's left satellite started to buzz extremely loud intermittently , followed by a *very* disgusting smell. Upon further inspection I found the tweeter had warped. The right speaker and sub work fine though. What can cause this to occur all of a sudden, it was working fine for...
