    As my last idea was such a good 'un

    Yup, I thought of bargain hunt!

    Just another one to throw into the pot. What about a firmware/driver page? Peeps on the hunt for firmware/bios/drivers, where they got 'em and wether they were any good?

    I know it prolly all gets discussed in general hardware but..... well, it's an IDEA!!!

    Would only be good if done properly, ie with us hosting the files. And that's going to cost a lot.

    Good idea.

    But even then most manufacturers wouldnt let us mirror their files anyway so i dont think its a goer.

    Surely plenty of small web sites host drivers and files for hardware? I can't believe they all ask the manufacturer... besides, why would the manufacturer object? We're helping their customers after all.

    But the bandwidth... ouch! I think 3dguru.com does this pretty well already, for the most part.
