[QUOTE="Lurgid, post: 401624, member: 90317"] I previously posted this in the ongoing-projects forum, whereas I realize now it should have been posted in this forum. Hello, all. I'm about to dip into the world of HTPC and Blu-Ray. I'd like to game (Everquest II, Battlefield, Half-Life, Need for Speed, etc.) on this machine sporadically, as well.
