    Anyone else here have FFXIV A Realm Reborn pre-ordered and want to level together?

    You don't have to re-buy the game again to play. Just pay the $9.99 monthly fee. If you previously bought the game that is and still have your account User/PW written down. I also bought the game day 1 and regretted it, didn't even get to level 4. Just hated it. A lot has changed, and...

    Anyone else here have FFXIV A Realm Reborn pre-ordered and want to level together?

    I am new to TPU, but I played FFXI MMO for awhile. I am going to be playing FFXIV ARR as I have it pre-ordered and will have early access and was wondering if anyone else here does too? If you do feel free to PM me and I will give you my Steam name or Email and we can chat, maybe start up a...

    What is the point of Wiping Free Space on a HDD?

    Thanks all, yeah I have no need to use a space cleaner, I don't do illegal music or any of that nonsense. By all means, examine my HDD to your hearts content if you ever steal it, all you will find are Steam games lol :roll:

    What is the point of Wiping Free Space on a HDD?

    I use CC Cleaner every week from Piriform, and I noticed one of the options is wipe free space from HDD and you can do 1 overwrite or several, what exactly is the point of this? Will it make my HDD faster in reads/writes? Or is it just for pedophiles? :eek:

    Looking for some good FPS headphones, $100 budget, want to...

    Do I need the sound card for virtual surround sound or just because it would make it sound better overall in stereo mode? Thanks, I am going to read some more stuff on it, so far it is between these and the Creative Aurvana Live

    be able to hear people creeping up behind me. So basically, is there any good FPS headphones for under a benjamin? I am not picky if bass is to much or to low, I just want to be able to hear where my enemies are running in FPS games (or creeping up behind me with a knife lol)

    Desktop won't turn on

    I wouldn't give up hope just yet, undo everything, lay the motherboard out in the sun for a few hours with no shade, try to rub everything down with a damp cloth, and put it back together from step one... Lot of work, but it may save you $200+ on a new mobo. If it doesn't work then yeah I...

    ASUS Launches PQ321 Monitor with 3840 x 2160 IGZO Display

    If they can price this around $2 grand even I would consider getting one. I love gaming in 1440p, it's hard to go back to 1080p, kind of like when I went from my tube tv and Playstation 2 to PC at 1080p, and then again to PC at 1440p... difference just blows me away. I find I can play most...

    I have that upgrade itch. Which 7950 should I get?

    I always prefer Sapphire, I only had to RMA a card once in my entire life and Sapphire made the process very smooth and fast. Great customer support, also they seem to just be well made. I have had issues with XFX and Gigabyte so I tend to always just roll Sapphire even if it costs me a little...
