    Anyone know a good powered sub for a small room?

    Costco is selling Energy Take Classic subwoofers at the one near me for $130. Might look into that if you have access.

    [H]elp making a decision

    The Fostex PM0.5MKII's look like a good deal at $200. Response down to 50Hz, amp in each, TRS. They're like $300 everywhere else. For $50 more there are 5" woofers with lower response over the AV40's. Can't say the connectivity is any better, but it's not bad. I hate that I can't listen to any...

    Are the M200's worth it vs the 1010's or 1080's? Also, any input on fostex?

    [H]elp making a decision

    I realize that the LX4 setup is just two DX4's plus a subwoofer, and that perhaps the AV40's are "better" than the DX4's alone, but as a complete set up wouldn't a 2.1 system outclass the AV40's?

    I'm going to ignore this :/

    As a corollary, I could use balanced TRS cabled with the 0202? It's output is unbalanced.

    [H]elp making a decision

    So I'm fairly settled on getting the LX4's. I was wondering next if I were to upgrade my sound interface, I'd need to get an external device since my pci ports are all blocked. From what I've read people have had good experiences with the EMU 0202, but some note it can be a bit finicky - I've...

    [H]elp making a decision

    Read through the forums and found some helpful suggestions but still not clear on how I should proceed. Considering budget of up to $200 to replace my uninspiring 5.1 system with a 2.0/1 setup. To be used on my computer with onboard sound (potentially upgrading). I'm having trouble finding...

    L227WTG 22" for $199.99 - free S/H from newegg

    My 19" LG TN just died. Do I "splurge" for this or go for the open box BenQ G2200w (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014172R) at newegg? Also 22" TN. I know the 24" version is highly regarded, but don't know much about the smaller brother. I think the 3 year warranty on...

    Quick Crossfire Question

    Let me correct myself and say that it's not necessarily likely that you'll have any issues, but it's a crap shoot - especially with powercolor. In fact, all of the BIOS issues i've read about have involved powercolor cards. Theoretically you shouldn't have any issues whatsoever, but with all...

    Quick Crossfire Question

    I wouldn't be so hasty to say it'll work like a charm. I just went through the agony of troubleshooting my new cf set up. I had an HIS 4850 and just threw a powercolor 4850 in there. After two days of researching, updating, and scrubbing my software I had to flash the bios on my new card to get...

    A worthwhile upgrade for $100 or so?

    I just grabbed an open box powercolor 4850 from the egg for $110 shipped. Threw it on as part of a cf rig - still not sure if it was worth the $ since so far it's just been a pain in my ass.

    MSI HD4850 PowerPlay not taking effect?

    If you're comfortable with it, there's always the possibility of flashing your gpu bios so that it's set to underclock when idle. That way you don't have to fool around with ati tool or any other software. The people over at techpowerup have a lot of know how in this sort of stuff (I just had to...

    Did I fry my PSU?

    Right, I figured out how to get it to work and will post my results in another thread.

    Did I fry my PSU?

    Right, so the psu is fine. It boots up fine with the original fan correctly connected. I can understand if the psu has some gate built in that shuts it down when no current is being pulled on the fan plug, but it seems a little too sophisticated to have a sensor that would shut it down with...
