How about "Computer Hardware" and "Bitcoin Hardware"?
Is some of this fallout from the Custom Hardware/Group Buy changes made last month?

How about instead of splitting it, rename it to Mining Hardware and move the non-mining hardware out. Since GPUs will soon be worthless for mining and non-mining computer hardware likely doesn't have enough threads to make its own section, this makes the most sense.
Computer Hardware still needs a section because I trade laptops/servers all the time and I don't want to see posts like someone selling Honey or Bit-Cards.

Any progress?

This is one of the dumber requests I've seen. Motherboards are necessary for mining, does that go in "Mining Equipment" or "Computer Hardware"? If I want to buy a GPU for gaming, I'd consider that "Computer Hardware". With the exception of ASICs, all mining equipment IS computer hardware. You may as well be asking for a "Goods" and "Other Goods" forum. 
If I want to buy or sell non-ASIC/FPGA hardware, it's almost impossible to find, or get noticed, because you get lost in the mining hardware noise.
In favor of splitting off as suggested.
Okay, then maybe it should be "Dedicated Mining Hardware" or something, just to clear things up.
Just like I said in the OP, Mining Equipment and Computer Hardware.

The current "Computer Hardware" section is 90% mining equipment GPUs/BFLs and 10% actual computer hardware that people trade. While they both belong in the Computer Hardware section, they are almost completely separate devices.
I suggest to split the Computer Hardware section into two:

Agreed. Right now, I'm lumping both together and it's a mess.

what about the little Altcoins, does nobody think about the little Altcoins
there's already 2 Boards, Hardware under Mining and Hardware Marketplace

The Hardware board under mining does not allow buying/selling.

Maybe it will get more support in the future when GPU mining will be inefficient for everybody.
