Following successful testing of the new USEast/Azeroth hardware, we’ll be migrating existing game data to the new hardware this week.

Maintenance:
10:00 a.m. PDT, Wednesday June 20 – 10:00 a.m. PDT, Thursday June 21
Expected ~24 hour maintenance duration

Please be aware that this is the currently scheduled maintenance period, and it could be extended if additional time is needed.



Just had a thought....WHY would Blizz be installing NEW USEast/Azeroth hardware, for an old ass game....doesn't make any sense. Unless it's just IPv6 hardware, but even that doesn't make economical sense ?

Yeah I realize that, just wondering why they would care...on a game they are getting ready to, more or less do away with...I guess maybe they are also, taking some servers AWAY from D2, and placing more of them (new or old) at WoW's and D3's disposal :/

When building a comp...any comp...the 3 MOST important parts are these:

1. Case...whether you are air cooling or water cooling get a case with room for growth, great cooling, and case exterior connectors where you are going to want them.
2. Power Supply ...this runs the show...get a PSU that will easily drive w/e you have in comp or MAY decide to add to comp. Consider wattage AND amperage.
3. Motherboard ...EVERYthing ur comp does, it does on or thru the motherboard circuits...you skimp here, you WILL regret it, down the road, or from day one.

Properly Air Cooling Your Computer

1. You are going to need more CFM of Intake than you will for Exhaust. This is due to the fact that the CPU Cooler and Vid Card(s) Cooler(s) will be "starved for air" if you don't.
2. This is how I've set up my system and added "Cold Air Cooling" by way of Comp's location compared to the Windows A/C Unit.
