    ATX HTPC Case Suggestions

    So my friend recently gifted me a Asus M4A7BT-E + Phenom II X4 965 (I think) left over from a previous setup. Since recently cutting cable, I've decided to put together an HTPC for recording OTA TV, and general movie watching. Since it's an ATX board, there seems to be a more limited field of...

    Return the Roku 2 XS?

    So, here's the story gents. This X-mas I purchased the Roku 2 XS for my mother since she's a huge fan of Netflix. She's been only is watching it on her laptop since her LCD TV doesn't have any internet capability, and their Sony BDP-350 didn't support Netflix. I go to their place to set it...

    8800GT vs. 9600GT SLI

    Good day all [H]'s, I'm about to purchase two cards for SLI (which is why I purchased a eVGA FTW). I play my games at 1680 x 1050, with medium eye candy at the moment (only have a 7600GT). As the title states, I'm a bit torn between a 9600GT vs. 8800GT SLI setup. I don't have any needs to...
