I sort of agree with Firing Squad. While "real world" benchmarking does give that extra bit of info on how hardware will actually effect me, i also want to know which is actually a better/faster/more effecient product. I really think both are required to have a full rhobust review of a...

ive been waiting for this product from shuttle for a long time. but i want it to be as quiet as can be. but im a gamer, and i need a fast card in it. im probably going to go with a 7800gt. i looked at some air cooling options, but everything i found was too large to fit between the video...

i posted this in displays. but thinking about it, it sorta makes sense to ask this forum too since its an HTPC display thingy. i just bought a new widescreen 16:9 HDTV. Samsung TX-P2675WHD im trying to hook it up to my HTPC, but with limited success. my tv has a DVI cable input. my...

i went through this site: http://www.htpcnews.com/main.php?id=hdguide it wont work if i unplug my monitor and then plug my tv in. my tv will only work if its plugged into the secondary slot while the monitor is plugged into the primary slot and i set them up to work in dual monitor mode...
