wow, you guys have some good ideas. i dont want to overwhelm w1z though with all these changes so maybe it would be better to start small with a multimedia section and then see how that goes for awhile.

15 now.... with all this we can get some great stuff guys... Not only do we get a section where we can talk more about the things we have around the house, other then the computer we have, but we open the floor for more people to come in... And with more people in here, more we can do... Could get someone like a Ceo of an audio company say "hell these guys are pretty good, I need to think about getting some of these people in my company.."
Yeah, that last part maybe is far fetch, but you never know who we can get... We get programmers and tech people from the computer world in here talking and showing us a little thing here and there sometimes.. So, why don't we add something that will bring more in? What's wrong with that?
Yes, us as members know that the General Hardware is just that anything Hardware... But do the people that come in here know that? They may, they may not. But, this will make it to where we ALL know and can ALL talk to one another about stuff thats going on...
I can go on and on about how this can help tpu. And if I have to I will in different ways... Computers wasn't my passion at the start. I was in a car club all the way through high school while doing anything art wise. I was so into music to where my hearing has been an issue because of it... So I know speakers, anything audio, and being in multimedia, camera's of anytype I know of... but I'm limited to just talk Computers... Well I'm not limited because I can post anything on General Hardware, but is anyone going to check??? Pancho posted a thread yesterday on something other then computer parts and its all ready needs a bump... So what does that tell you??? It would even fit nice in the A/V section if we had it.

Your right on that one! there is a lot more you can do with the computer... the Sound card is just the start! you can buy parts and rewire speakers to work with your computer if needed... it usellys just a simple splitter you need, but with the right sound card you can get whatever you want speaker wise... see your home theater system next to your tv? It can easily be working with your computer if you knew how..
