But if you are formating due to virus or w/e then good news are - you don't need to download all games again. Just point installation of each game to a directory that has a game in it, steam should recognize it automatically and install it from there. Here's a little more what you can do with this:

"Currently, there is no material damage to the fab equipment in the clean room, thus we expect to resume operations in a short time period so that overall production and supply volume would not be materially affected," company representative Seongae Park told Reuters. "In addition, we expect that the majority of damage will be covered through insurance." According to local media, a chemical explosion ignited a fire in fabs one and two at the Hynix plant in Wuxi during a refit. Hynik has been repurposing the fabs for NAND production instead of DRAM, and reports say the explosion occurred when new equipment was being installed.

This took the load off my 3925 which was overheating under heavy load causing random disconnects. Then I set up an oul discarded i5 stock cooler powered from an oul 12v adapter to cool the Asus and UPC routers. Both cases now cool to the touch, no more random disconnects, DNS resolves IPs instantly, and rock solid 29ms ping and 105/10mbits all day and night long. I know the cooler really worked because I haven't had a single disconnect in the 2 months since the day before I installed the fan and I know bridging and the asus worked because the DNS issue and sub advertised speeds resolved the day I installed it. 60+ days now of solid 105/10 and I run speed tests about 5 or 6 times a day/night. Pity it's only the withdrawn EPC3925 that can be bridged. I'll be holding onto mine for dear life!!!

Calibos wrote: » Yeah, the 3925 wasn't much better. Albeit, we were hammering it with 3 desktops, 3 laptops, 10 phones, 3 iPads and 6 XBMC media players and media server Probably why it was withdrawn. I thank my lucky stars I was a day late applying for the Horizon trial though. It's not that you can't ask to keep your 3925 when you get Horizon but I didn't know it was worth keeping at the time of the trial and would have let it walk out the door with the horizon installer!!
