Gaming and File server in one possible?

Thank you both for your replies. I had actually not considered a NAS enclosure and feel incredibly stupid right now. I think that is probably the best option for me at the moment.

RAID controller vs Mobo RAID

Well, this is really what I'm thinking. I understand that RAID1 != backup. But if you already know that you're bad at keeping a backup, isn't RAID1 the "next best thing" as it were? Ultimately, the situation, given enough time is going to reach the following point: My drive has failed. My...

RAID controller vs Mobo RAID

So, it finally happened, I lost my main data drive, of which I performed minimal back up. Seagate will restore everything so I'm not too upset. Having said that, knowing how lazy and forgetful I am, I just cannot rely on myself to backup my data in the future. So I decided that I should...

Seagate Customer Support Not Playing Fair With My Bricked 7200.11

Just chiming in to say that this happened to my 7200.11 2 days ago. Contacted Seagate support and they are sending over a courier to pick up the drive, update the firmware then send it back to me. So just confirming that yes, they do indeed fix these drives. Also, just to say. They don't...

Excel Array formula

Thanks for the reply. Your single cell solution works, but as it requires knowing before hand the number of items bought and hard-coding it, I assume it may not be generalized into a formula that works with any number of line items. Still, thank you very much for taking a stab at it.

Excel Array formula

Hey guys, I've been trying to learn more about array formulas (can't say I'm any good at them). Anyhow, I've been trying to essentially solve the following problem: Say you have a database such as the following: Item Part Price i7 CPU 300 Phenom CPU 200 5870...

OpenGL and FP accuracy in Trig

Dear all, I've been learning OpenGL on and off for a few years now, trying out different things. I've typically never really concerned myself with the inner workings of the library but more on just using it and playing with the results. I finally decided to learn it properly so to speak, and...

The best feeling in the world.

The bolded part is exactly how I feel when I fix a bug. I feel like kicking myself.

[C++] Lightest-weight way of creating an image file?

You can find the BMP header info easily on the internet. Even wikipedia has an article on it with all the header info and their offsets from file index 0. As RedSquirrel mentioned above, the image is stored as BGR instead of RGB. Never done image compression so I can't help on that but...

Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy?

Well, neither is going to have "great graphics" by today's standards. In fact, I think they both use the same engine (someone correct me if I'm wrong here). Eitherway, I prefered Jedi Outcast but I'd suggest you try both. If story is your main concern, Outcast is better imo. However, Jedi...

Old Games - CyberMage : Darklight Awakening

This is an old game, back in the mid 90s I think. It was near when I bought my first PC and my parents got me a few games for it (pretty sure they just randomly selected it). Anyway, this was my first foray into FPS. No idea what made me think of it, but I did, brought back some fun memories...

CPU vs RAM

As I understand it, the only time I still use fixed point is for 2D projection using OpenGL. I think (and don't hold me to this), it was called Orthographic projection.
