I've started http://siliconverge.com for semiconductor and hardware folks. it has small community though. I'm trying to spread the word.

Wanna help me and join the forces in spreading the word to more people and have a nice focused site for hardware folks?

Email me: aditya AT siliconverge.com if you are interested.

That does look interesting. Will let my friends know too :)

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, any kind of help will be appreciated. And if you have suggestions/feedback, then don't hesitate to shoot me an email.

Thanks again.

There's not that many people out there whose interest in hardware extends beyond:

  * Regurgitated Vendor PR, idiotic brand flamewars
  * Filling up shopping carts at Newegg
  * Fad-driven tutorial bullshit about 'mods' and 'hacks'

The sterotypical participant in such forums is an adolescent fanboy whose coworkers at Best Buy think he's a genius.

Precisely. Thats why I am looking for something like HN of hardware.

I find http://hardforum.com/ to be excellent if you want to discuss hardware. It's the forum site from hardocp.com

I'm biased, but the Ars Technica forums are pretty sweet (http://episteme.arstechnica.com). The discussion threads about the hardcore hardware articles are pretty good there, too.

Tom's Hardware, Anandtech and Ars Technica have some pretty good nerdy forums.
