    D-Link DNS-321 two drive NAS (no drives) - Free for shipping

    Had this for a while. Works well, but to be sure, there are issues with it and Windows after W7. I'm sure someone with a little more network savvy than me could make it work just fine. I got tired of fooling around with it and after a computer upgrade, I put a Synology drive on my home...

    Id legacy pack - Q2 and Q3 are no go with W7-64

    Hey guys - greetings. I scored the Id legacy game pack when Steam had it on sale, and I can't seem to get Q2 and Q3 to run. Q2 crashes before it even loads, and Q3 loads up but has so many screen artifacts that it's completely unplayable. Browsing the Steam forums, I found a patch that...
