I had BSOD issues on the non pro version and mine traced to a bad secondary hard drive. Took out out for RMA and replaced our with a different one. No issues since. I wasd able to see errors in the logs too.

Very cool. I've used a 300 in an htpc setup and found it to be very flexible especially if you game on it.

I think if the common opinion was that the display was the most important component we would have more options than lcd. While there are a lot of benefits of lcd over other display technology, I dont think superior image quality is one of them. You buy your display for the tasks you do just...

I'd say keep it as blb is a real crap shoot.

I'd be up for the extender. Been pretty happy with the support Ceton has provided for my cable card.

Hopefully we'll see them sooner than later. But I thought Sony was out of the oled game...

I've been looking into ambidextrous mice since I've always found them more ergonomic. Might have to give one of the zowie mice a try.

Agreed but with LCD's being around for a while now, it should be at least possible to get a panel with no stuck/dead pixels... A unit with no backlight bleed, perfect color uniformity, no input lag, and no ghosting, etc. is a another story :)

Anyone test w/ an app and get one without pixel problems?

A suggestion: If you have a soft cloth you might be able to make the bleed on your monitor *better*. In my experience, the bleed that I've seen on a lot of IPS panels is due to pressure. While the pressure cannot be completely removed, often you can "distribute" it by taking a cloth and...

Getting a 4 ohm stable amp/receiver definitely makes sense but if it were my money and I were looking for improvements in details/sound I wouldn't put it into an amp. To me that would be more in the speaker quality/room acoustics/speaker placement areas. I've auditioned the MMG's and while...

If they work in the same way as the passive filters I've used then sure as long as your receiver has main in/pre-outs. The one downside is that you are limited to the crossover point of the passive filter. You may also be able to use the one from the sub but most recommend to avoid that route.

Another amp idea: http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/rr2150.html Nice feature that it has is analog bass management so you can filter the low freq's out of the Maggies and direct them into the sub (which in turn would take some stress of the amp). It has a few other bells and whistles and is...

Yes, each speaker individually powered unlike the A5's. If you have a Guitar Center near you I think they sell them there too and you could bring in some music to audition with. They are 149 each.

I have another recommendation: http://www.zzounds.com/item--KRKRP5G2 Active speaker that is supposed to be well built and very accurate. Around the same price as the Audio Engine 5's. Looks like there will be a review of one of the bigger brothers on audioholics soon...
