    Ravaged $5 Steam

    And I thought that $8 was a good deal! Wasn't expecting it to hit $5 because of the Steam Autumn sale. Kick ass!

    Ravaged $5 Steam

    It was $24.99 earlier this week. I guess with the addition of GMG they also reduced the price. Two bucks is still two bucks :P Ravaged has been in beta for what seems forever. The game went retail about 3 months ago. To compete with all of the AAA games that have recently come out, moving to...

    StartIsBack $3 for 1 License, $5 for 5 License

    StartIsBack is a utility that adds the Windows 7 start menu back to Windows 8. Using something like StartIsBack or Start8 is critical IMO. They offer a 30 day trial, after the 30 days you have the option to purchase a license. Not sure if they will adopt the Minecraft philosophy and...

    Start8 20% off

    I tried out Start8 because of this thread. I was happily using StartIsBack prior. They both offer minor differences but are essentially the same thing. FYI StartIsBack just released a paid version. You get 2 licenses for $3. So $1.50 each! It's worth a try. The developer seems friendly and...

    Borderlands four pack preorder $135 at Steam

    I heard that the reply value comes from a higher difficultly level and more leveling up when you beat the game. They will have down-loadable content down the line as well. I'm passing on this game.

    Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 $149.20 free shipping

    9.25% CA sales tax kinda kills it :/ New cards will be better no doubt, but closer to $300-350 also. If you can afford the new card, go for it. If not, buy now I suppose.

    Looking to build a file server - Suggestions?

    One idea would be WHS with no duplication. Instead using raid5 to maximize available disk space. The only down side would not being able to grow the array like WHS.

    Looking to build a file server - Suggestions?

    Yeah i am still considering WHS. But it seems to be a money hog if you plan on properly implementing it. Steep hardware requirements vs. *nix/bsd/xp/sk3. Mirroring being the only type of redundancy makes for a lot of wasted space if you plan on creating a large file server. From my price point...

    Looking to build a file server - Suggestions?

    yeah i noticed that raid 6 is a hit to the wallet. if money was no option I could possibly put some more consideration into going that way. so far raid 0+1, whs or drobo look good. But one problem i see with 0+1 is the availability of sata2 card with more than 2 ports :/ tnx

    Looking to build a file server - Suggestions?

    *nix/bsd + raid 5/6 card server 2k3/2k8 + raid 5/6 drobo whs I had a moderate budget. In creating a file server to serve as a backup device for the most part, what option would you pick? Do you have any other suggestions as far as hardware or software is concerned? Ideally I would like...
