The site desperately needs a "Hardware" forum.

Please, oh, pretty please? Hardware discussion is getting drowned out in the noise of the "Devices" forum. I solve the problem by asking any hardware related questions over at TenForums, but it would be nice if we had a dedicated hardware forum here.

Just a suggestion. :)

Yep. Especially since Win 11 has hardware requirements. ^^

I don't see a desparate need for a 'Hardware' forum, the 'Devices and Drivers' forum is forum #4 or #5 in terms of # of posts or # of threads, respectively. I'd vote to retain the status quo (y)

It's the same thing, just with the wording more aligned to the OS terminology.

Sorry, I guess I confused everyone (cold medicine will do that to ya). I meant a PC Custom Builds and Overclocking forum. That would be a nice addition for those of us with hardware and build questions.

Sorry for the confusion.
