Amazon currently is offering the WD Black 850X for $237 for Prime Members. Previously it was $229 back in December so pretty good deal if you missed out. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7CQ2CHH EDIT: NOW OOS $250 Newegg -...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26TgYgJ1_r4 I remember playing the old one and having a decent time. Apparently this was back in 2010 so it will be interesting to see how it turns out. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814860/Vindictus_Defying_Fate/

Steam Next Fest Demo week is currently ongoing. Anyone find any good demos they like so far? https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest

Spin off from the 40" monitor thread discussion to let it get back on topic. After 10 long years, I finally built my new PC in my signature, 7800x3D, 64GB, and I have a 4080 Super on the way. I am trying to narrow down my monitor choices. My current monitor is a 24" BenQ XL2420TE TN panel and...

Originally I was planning on doing an Intel build for gaming, some Plex, and possibly some Stable Diffusion, but decided to opt for my first AMD build and first build in over 8 years. Case will probably be the Fractal Torrent with solid side panel so I don't care about aesthetics. Leaning...

I am finally after about 8 years looking to put together a new build to replace my I7-4770K. The 4090 is somewhat of a placeholder for now. I want to mess with Stable Diffusion which I have read isn't great on AMD cards, but I don't know how long that interest will last. It will also serve as my...

I have a bunch of old 3.5 drives, mostly 4tb and under, I want to go through. Most should be Sata, but I might have a few IDE. I want to be able to test the sata drives once cleared to see if I can potentially reuse them if needed, but I also want to copy and clear and content I might have...

My PC wouldn't boot when I got home tonight and upon opening it up I noticed the Intel CPU cooler isn't sitting tight on the motherboard. It wobbles some and looks like one of the plastic legs isn't locking down. I am hoping this is all it is since I have been putting off building for a while...

I have an older PC which was still using a regular hard drive 640gb WD black. I scored a free SSD at work today so I wanted to install a fresh install of Windows 10 onto the SSD and then switch that to the primary drive. It is already running Windows 10. I am probably over thinking this, but...

My Logitech keyboard is finally dying so I am looking for a replacement. I definitely prefer backlit and a full size keyboard. Does anyone have any opinions on the Corsair K55, K70, K95, and Logitech G910? Last time I stopped by Best Buy they didn't have any on the floor I could try and I...

This game looks really interesting and the demo was pretty cool. Steam Pre-Alpha available free and playable now. Kickstarter

Back in the WHS v1 days, built a WHS around a Norco 4020. I ended up only using half the bays, but I ended up switching to a couple Synology when MS retired WHS. The Norco was passed on to a friend who used it until recently, and is now back in my possession. The only thing that I ever swapped...

I originally built my i7-860 when Win 7 launched and it is getting long in the tooth. I am also tired of leaving on the PC 24/7 in my bedroom, but for a while it was my main PC. My goal is to get this new PC up and running so I can then wipe this PC and do a fresh install of Win 10. I will also...

In the past week or so every time I connect to Hardforum, everything is marked as read. I only use the one computer to connect and even changed my password just to make sure nothing else was logging in. I only connect about once a day so I am not sure what is going on. I didn't see a way to see...

My current setup is an i7-4770K and a 7970 Vapor-X. I am looking for a 24" gaming monitor now that BF4 is out. I have gift cards to Staples, Best Buy, and Amazon so I would prefer to buy there. I don't watch any video on it except the occasional youtube clip. My current monitor is the Dell...

I have a Sapphire 7970 Vapor-X on the Asus Z87-Pro with PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III Series 750W. This is my first AMD card since I think the 9800 Pro. It is in a new build running Windows 8.1 and the card is about 6 months old. I am wondering if this is possibly a driver issue or a...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primary use will be gaming, but I will also be doing some video editing and conversion. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? I would say $1500, but not a hard limit. 3) Which country do...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primarily video encoding with occasional gaming and surfing. Essentially I want to build a PC that the majority of the time will be encoding Mpeg2 files such as Media Center and TiVo recordingss into 720p h.264 MKVs...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primarily this will be gaming, and web browsing. I already have a decent PC, i7-860 build, in my bedroom and I am looking to build something for my living room to replace the current PC which will be going to my...

I recently picked up the Ceton InfiniTV4 due to the Newegg sales and I am looking to now build a dedicated PC for Media Center. Currently I am using the card in my i7-860 with 8GB of ram. I just can't seem to decide on a motherboard though. It has been a while since I researched boards, and...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Disappointed with WHS2011 not having DE, I am going back and forth between building a server using WHS 2011 or Win 7. I currently have a WHS v1 but I am getting low on space. I only use it to backup my PCs and store...

I saw the first one during the Microsoft CES event, but they didn't say what it was. It is obviously some type of touch based game, but you only saw a quick shot. Same thing with this game? I haven't kept up on the tablet/iPad games.

It looks like Direct2Drive has a MMO sale this weekend with coupon code Joker. This is also good for preorders for games like Rift and DC:UO. For Rift this gets the basic digital version for $39.96 or the digital Collector's Edition for $47.96. http://www.direct2drive.com/ D2D MMO games link

I was finally looking to upgrade to a LCD to replace my 21" CRT so I threw the P2770F on my Christmas list since I knew it could be bought locally. While I love the size, I definitely need to find a better option. As some of the reviews mentioned, the stand is pretty bad since it has no...

Hey guys looking for suggestions on what sub $300 card to go with. I previously picked up a 1gb EVGA 460 for my main system which I only game at 1600x1200 on an older 21" CRT. i7-860 4gb of ddr3 Gigabyte Ga-P55-UD4P 21" CRT I recently moved a HTPC which wasn't being used to my...

I saw this in the Best Buy flyer this week and seems like a pretty good deal for a nice 2.1 setup for the PC. Best Buy

I am currently running a 8800gt and figured I would step up to the 1gb 460. For my birthday my family bought me the EVGA 01G-P3-1371-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 from Amazon, but it doesn't ship for 3-4 weeks. Reading around it sounds like Gigabyte may be the way to go for a...

Torchlight 2 coming in Spring 2011 with Co-OP. I know I for one am excited. Not only did they add co-op but they added another class and a new UI. http://www.torchlight2game.com/ PCGamer First Look Interview - 8/4/10 Runic Games Fansite Wiki on Torchlight 2

I just assembled a HTPC from various parts I had or picked up and I am having issues with the onboard graphics. I keep getting a message that the Intel Graphics has stopped responding and recovered. This happens probably every 30 seconds. I5-661 GA-H55-USB3 G.SKILL 2x2gb F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ...

Hey guys I am hoping someone can help with suggestions. This morning my old 21" CRT died which was connected to a second PC/HTPC at my desk. I didn't use it all the time, but would use it to watch shows and streaming sometimes while working on my primary PC. Does anyone have any...

I have been using Meta Browser for some time and while I like it I am starting to run into more issues due to limit on naming files. While I would prefer an automatic option for renaming and linking files to the correct metadata, I would even settle for a manual one. The problem is since my...

I think I may have been hit by the recent driver issues with the Nvidia. This past week I keep crashing randomly a little while after a gaming session or on boot. I was finally able to boot without a BSOD by uninstalling and cleaning out the Nvidia drivers. I have tried installing the latest...

I realize these are older games but if you never picked up either one this is the cheapest I have seen them. I figure they should hold some people over until Battlefield Bad Company 2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Game of the Year edition $29.99 Call of Duty: World at War $29.99

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primary PC, gaming, watching occasional movie, no movie editing, streaming HD 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $1000 but not firm if I need to go up some 3) Where do you live? Florida so no...

I am really hoping to order today so I can have everything in before next weekend. Any suggestions for mobo? I can't seem to find one I like and also how does the rest of the build look. Case: Norco 4220 - $349 w/FS Controller card: 2x AOC-SASLP-MV8 - $111.69 x 2 with FS Mobo: no idea. looking...

EDIT: Ok so I decided just to leave the HTPC as it is. It works so no real reason to mess with it. Now I just need to figure out my WHS build. This will primarily be used as a media server. Assuming I keep my Ex485 I will leave that for backups for now. Case: Norco 4020 or 4220 CPU: Intel...

I have been reading the tivo forums where there has been talk about whether you could build a $500 Windows 7 based HTPC/DVR equal or better than a Tivo HD as far as features go assuming this is for OTA/Clearqam only. The $500 price is based off the previous Father's Day special where you could...

With Windows 7 around the corner, I have been playing with Windows Media Center. I have been happy so far with it especially considering it is included in Windows 7. I have noticed a couple issues such as recording repeats even though I have the series set only to record new episodes and the...

I tried searching but I didn't have any luck. I am planning on throwing 2 dual Qam tuners in my secondary setup with a very good chance we will be running all four tuners at the same time come the new fall season. Will I be okay with the Green series by Western Digital or would I be better...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Quad QAM tuner DVR running two Avermedia Duets. It will also serve somewhat as a media server since it will also run Tivo Desktop for 24/7 downloading of recorded shows, services like Play On and TVersity, and a couple...
