I can afford both, but my major dilemma is that I will be going to college in a year so my file server would simply sit a home with my desktop collecting dust for a least freshman year. What would you do?

Right now it dual boots Ubuntu and Windows XP and I has a Intel Dual Core at 2.0 GHz with an 80 GB hard drive. It also has an old nvidia graphics card built into it so that its slightly better than on board graphics. Any ideas?

What are some of the best games to play on the PS2 (and I suppose PS1 as long as they've aged well)?

My HDTV is only 22", and Im struggling over whether to get a ps3 and play the collection, or to just get component cables and get the ps2 versions of the games.

Now, has that changed in that the ps3 is superior to the 360, or is it even now? Im trying to decide which console to get. I'm mostly into RPGs and Action Adventure games on consoles, and use my PC to play any shooters Im interested in. Please don't turn this into a co...

I know I have the options of a converter box from component to VGA or some sort of capture card on my PC. Will both methods yield the same results?

I've been using a cool site called backloggery.com which was designed for the exact purpose of keeping track of your videogames.

For me, learning vocab and grammar is really easy, its just that listening and speaking is the difficult part. So, I'm looking for some forms of Spanish media to listen to while I am doing other things, such as riding my bus or doing my math homework. Also, if anyone has any interesting sites in Span...

Right now I'm trying to remember my build orders, but I realized that I never really had a build order for PvZ because I hate FE. I was looking at Day[9]'s podcasts are remembered he talked about a Reaver dragoon push. I want to learn it, but I find it hard...

While my other matchups (PvP and PvT) were both had solid D ranks, my PvZ was definitely D-. Once in a while I would win a couple games and get back to D, only to be shot down once again to D-. Out of frustration I stopped practicing the matchup and even started dodging it while I spent time tr...
