I’m trying to dig up some good info on PC gaming hardware. As I search for forums, I am struck by the fact that PC gamers appear to be the biggest idiots in the known universe. They are populated people who employ creative spelling such as “thay’re” and “wan’t”, and have a gross misunderstanding of how computers work. Surely somewhere there must be a gamer’s community with people who have two brain cells to rub together. Please share if you know of any.

Try [the PC General forum at VN Boards](http://vnboards.ign.com/pc_generalhardwaresoftware_and_tech_support/c15798). VN’s community is a lot like here.

Something Awful’s game forum is pretty good.

Quarter to Three is a decent small community with a surprising industry people:peon ratio

[www.f13.net](http://www.f13.net) is great for MMOs
