I'm 37 too. As a wedding photographer and videographer, I shoot weddings on the weekends and during the week I edit while being a stay-at-home dad. I sometimes feel inadequate, but it's all-around a great arrangement for my family. There's great value in picking up a variety of skills and...

So this will be random and irrelevant to most, but I just wound up in this old thread by pure chance. I forgot long ago when or where I got my keyboard, but as it turns out I got it here, ten years ago. The Deck keyboard R-T-B sold me in this thread? That's what I'm typing on right now. I would...

Haha the little monkeys did cross my mind, as did the thought that great, I'm basically getting them their first stripper pole. A struggle for a different day haha. Buy quality, buy once looks like the way to go in this case, even if it means holding off a little bit. Meanwhile, the BenQ on a...

A floor stand might just be perfect for me. My desk already sits away from the wall for acoustic reasons. Will dig some more on that. And I'm returning the desk mount I got. Thank you! …although ouch, pricey! Yet if that's what it takes…

Haha yep, hopefully I've got a year or so before the twins start wrecking the joint. Since those brackets have the monitor mount in the middle, I'm assuming I'll only be able to use half of the 3.25" range each provides. In that case one definitely won't be enough—maybe two won't even be...

I'm looking to desk mount two 16x9 32" monitors vertically, so I bought this. Unfortunately, the highest and lowest settings for the arms aren't high and low enough for the monitors to clear. I chose that one for its weight rating of 9kg per monitor, as I'm running a PD3200U at 8.5KG and C32HG70...

I don't have anything for you right now but it's been a while Paulie and I've been gone for about the same period of time. Just getting back into the madness as well. Good luck sourcing your components!

The discussion that originally made me wonder this was about CoD4 which I suppose does goes through Windows audio. I'm using Windows 7 and integrated Realtek sound and when I go to the Windows mixer I can set CoD4 levels. This brings up another question: does using Realtek "enhancements" like...

Hi TPU, been a long time since I posted here. I'm not much into computers and tech any more but do still game once in a while, and in a gaming forum I frequent, the superiority of sound cards over motherboard-integrated sound was brought up. This was specifically in regards to sound quality. But...

Reporting back. A user at OCForums (where I also posted this query) posted the following response yesterday (link): Generally I wouldn't revive an old thread like this but it's a good explanation for anyone else who comes searching for answers in the future.

Updated and re-vetted. Let me know if I missed anything. :) Added new section for video game programming/development. Thanks, added! PM'd.

For those of you working with multimedia workstations in a professional or prosumer environment, what configuration of HDDs, SSDs, and RAID do you use? I'm curious about what you use for boot drives, working drives, source and result drives, and if you've done some testing to see what...

Updated, re-vetted, and reformatted!

Haha well, this isn't so much about my particular experience. In this particular case it was a server that I rarely visit and don't care about getting unbanned from anyway. But I imagine some people here have stories of frustration about getting banned from servers they really liked.

I was just banned from a CoD4 server. If you're interested, there's an ongoing thread about it at the web site for that server (get some popcorn :laugh:): http://fusiongamers.com/forum/index.php/topic,3391.0.html And I was thinking it might be interesting to swap stories and experiences...
