    HTPC build suggestions

    I'd start with the i5 3300 and back your way into the rest of the parts based on the budget from there [that PDF is atrociously hard to read]. Get a decent motherboard [4x DDR3 1600 slot should be plenty good, and DDR3 1600 RAM is relatively cheap/common], and maybe an 8 or 16GB DDR3 1600 kit...

    Which Plex Media Serer Hardware (Intel vs AMD)

    Not sure if you are still taking suggestions, but I would find the cheapest 22nm i5 you can [Just ordered one on newegg a few days ago for $180 shipped, I think]. 8GB RAM should be fine unless you think you'll be streaming a ton of stuff simultaneously to machines that all require transcoding...

    GTX670 flickering with Need for Speed Most Wanted(2012)

    sounds almost like a VSync issue [EA's in-house engines occasionally have issues with that sort of crap, especially on large-scale open-world type stuff like BF3 & NFS]. What sort of settings do you have set in-game?

    Best Video Card For $150.00 Or Less

    We just got a new GTX 650 for the A/V machine at church, and it seems to be pretty stout...and if you get the vanilla versus the Ti, you can find them for closer to $100 after MIR [or the Ti is right at $150 if you want MOAR CORES!!1!]. On NewEgg they have the Glaxy 650 Ti for $149.99 after $10...

    Odd issue, not big deal but would like to no solution. Site hosted using WAMP ...

    My guess is setting it to the IP will make it work on the laptop, but break on the desktop. Are you using absolute paths to pull the JS/CSS, or relative paths?

    Timer

    I'm with mikeblas: Run a timer at small-ish intervals [if it only has to pop-up on the hour, try 1 minute intervals?], have it query the system time, and compare system time against an array of defined "alert times", and if system time == alert time, throw the alert. As for persistant...

    Video Stream - Stress Test

    What are you streaming off of [protocal & server-side setup, eg: RTMP/FMIS]?

    What's with the sudden explosion of scripts running on web sites?

    what, exactly, would you prefer people use in place of JavaScript?

    Recommend Me A Solid DVD Drive For Ripping CD's

    buy a sony. they are cheap, and if you rip a bunch of them open, you'll find sony/NEC make the vast majority of the parts for the others

    How to create blu ray disc with different audio tracks after ripping

    i know handbrake has support for utilizing whatever audio track[s] off the original disc you want...but it sounds like you are trying to add a track that didn't come on your disc?

    Which Dual Processor mobos are OC'able?

    being someone who shorted pins on the old socket 604 Xeons to enable clock settings in the BIOS on his Asus board....I can assure you it is NOT worth it. All the heat/power issues you run into OCing a gaming system, you run into at half the gain in a dual processor system. Just buy something...

    HDHomeRun 3 Tuner from SiliconDust...

    Doesn't the HDHR3-US [non cable card] support analog & digital? If so, you could add one of those as well [you can run multiple devices on the network], versus having to slap a wonky analogue card in your machine, or get any funky IRblaster setups going on with a DTA

    camera for 200usd max ?

    Avoid a nikon coolpix. They have horrendous low-lighting due to small/cheap sensors [unlike an expensive nikon, that has the best sensors in the business] You can find older [10 mega-pixel range] DSLRs for about that price on ebay [I just sold my alpha a100 for $150 last week, or i'd offer you...

    Best way to access home network

    Depends on your needs. If you just need to access/use the machine at home, just do RDP and use port-forwarding and call it a day. If you need access to files/drives from home remotely...then things get more complicated and VPN, FTP, or countless other acronyms come into play

    OS on SSD, pair of 1TB striped for data, a 3TB for backup: opinions?

    I would actually ask why you need extra speed on a storage drive? RAID is nice...but as someone who lost a semester of college work [programming & papers] to a blown RAID-0 array...I can assure you that they are finicky beasts and if you have an SSD for the OS, and an SSD for your games &...
