    Any other case that is like the PC-C50B?

    Depends on your definition of large. I had a 4850 in mine with room to spare. For most, I think the spacing of the slots n the motherboard is going to be the limiting factor. Replaced it with a passively cooled card only for noise reasons.

    HTPC case

    Standard ATX12 Power Supply, full ATX motherboard, full height expansion card slots, room for more fans then you'll ever need (120mm and 80mm) and easy to work inside of. Only real cons is that it's kinda deep, could be a problem for some entertainment center and the LCD info panel is sold...

    Recommendations for wireless keyboard/mouse combo for HTPC?

    I too use one of the Lenovo's like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Multimedia-Remote-Keyboard-N5901/dp/B0036VO67I Range is great, mouse and keyboard can both be used one handed and it's inexpensive. Some complain it's not backlit but it hasn't been a problem for me.

    HDMI Audio Issues

    Unfortunately you can't easily force it not to disable audio. One aspect of Digital Rights Managemant (DRM) is the the HDMI Protected Audio Path (PAP) which forces a reset of the audio when it detects something is added or removed. They are ways around it but they center on defeating the DRM...

    WMC 7 doesn't seem to output bitstream audio over hdmi.

    I was able to bitstream from my HTPC using PowerDVD 9 Ultra on both an ATI4550 and a Nvidia 410. Some of the requirements are to right click on the speaker icon in the task bar -> playback devices -> properties -> Enhancements tab (select "disable all enhancements") AND Advanced tab (select...

    Help in getting Blu Ray to work

    I had the same problem. For me it was something in the settings but I can't remember what. I want to say it was either a video or audio item. Whatever it was, once I unchecked it it worked like a charm. Try playing around in there.

    Pls advise me on my Hauppauge PVR500 TV card with new rig

    On second thought, a new tuner would be the best solution. The PVR500 only support NTSC, newer ones have ATSC (Over the Air Digital) and Unencrypted QAM (Digital cable - what is and isn't encrypted varies by cable company). At apx $100, the HVR 2250 is hard to beat with it's dual hybrid tuners...
