    building a new HTPC

    Dang, I had a nice reply all typed out, but then I got logged out and lost it. My current HTPC is my old gaming rig, I didn't pay any attention to how loud it was when I was building it. I should have, because the thing is way too loud. Couple things I should have mentioned last night: * I...

    building a new HTPC

    I'm looking to build a new HTPC, it's been a while since my last one, and well I'm stuck at the case. My current htpc is loud, and big, but mainly loud. So what I want is something smaller, and quiet. I'll be using it mainly for watching my ripped movies, and playing blurays. I honestly...

    Sometimes the quests just happen as random encounters when you travel. I can think of a couple from the magi tower that resolve this way.

    Move to WHS from Linux Raid5...

    I have 3 drives setup in RAID5 and a cron job that goes off nightly to backup my /etc, DB, and some media files to a remote PC using rsync. Something like this probably wouldn't work for you, but it works well for me, and was the best choice for me and my data.

    What is it with TF2?

    Right, so right now the best counter vs. pyros is probably heavies, which is probably why they're doing heavies next.

    What is it with TF2?

    Personally I think the pyro update screwed up the game. You're right a good soldier, heavy will still take out a pyro, but it's rare to find a soldier good enough to take down a bunch of pyros. With the added health it takes 3 rockets to take out a pyro, so if you're good enough you can bounce...

    EverQuest 2 Performance

    Wow.. lots of differing posts on this. I play on a 6300 OC'ed to 3.3 with 2GB RAM and 8800GT. I play with the settings on Max (-Shadows) at 1920x1200, and AA on. The FPS does drop down a bit in the city sometimes, (actually only in one area), but other then that it's pretty much smooth...

    Issue with NFS and chmod

    you shouldn't have to 777 everything. The directories will need read/execute, but you should be able to set the files within the directories to the permissions you want.

    Where are all the UT3 players???

    I'm confused by these numbers, it lists zero players for NWN, while the count at nwn.bioware.com is 2122 players. It makes me wonder how accurate the count is for the other games.. Maybe it's something with NWN that screws up the count. Anyway back on topic, I've gotten 2 games this year...

    right.. I think there's a link for returning players on the eq2 website, I think it allows you to download it. Or you can go to the store and pickup Rise of Kunark and install it that way..

    neede advice

    Well it could be a HD Server, as in you could install XP and store files on it. I don't think you'd be able to use it to watch HD, the CPU is too slow.
