    I stand corrected. Thank you. Interesting that in all my searching and reading on this matter, I never found this info.

    htpc help

    If only it were so easy. Video cards do not perform any audio processing, at least not any that I know of that are available right now. Any HDMI equipped video card needs the audio signal sent to it from the sound card. If you are using a DVI to HDMI dongle to convert to an HDMI signal then...

    Does the rear panel on the Motherboard have a coaxial SPDIF OUT port on it? Does the Video card have a 2 pin SPDIF IN plug? If so then look on www.htomega.com for a cord that might work for you. Or use the picture of their CA-1 cable to build your own.

    A question about HDTV's

    Essentially any HDTV will do the trick. It depends a lot on what the computer has for video (and perhaps sound). I don't think you realize just how open ended your question is. If your PC has DVI video ports then the HDTV needs DVI, HDMI, or VGA ports on it (any one will do fine but if you...

    Need Help Building HTPC with BluRay & HDMI

    I will never understand why people get so wound up about someone asking questions on a message board. Sure searching works much of the time (that's how I found this thread in the first place) but there is often so much to be gained by asking a question in your own words. In addition to a...

    The Copper Radiator Myth

    How old are you? Have you ever seen/touched a classic car? Also... aluminum is not cheaper than brass/copper... at least not in an industry application. Aluminum takes gobs of chemical and energy to manufacture. Car companies switched to aluminum because (A) an aluminum radiator can do the...

    sound deadening?

    I'm using it more for asthetics than sound deadining. I'm at a point where my HDDs are the noisiest part of the rig. The sound deadening material gives the inside of the case more of a finished look versus bare metal in my opinion. I've been using Thermaltake's product. It's not bad...

    Wireless N (draft) in Vista 64bit?

    I can tell you this... as per a phone conversation with D-Link, there is no 64bit vista adapter in their lineup. Not sure if any other manufacturers have one. It turned into enough of a headache for me to just go back to 32bit for now.

    Ugrading From Vista 32bit to Vista 64bit?

    I'd stay with 32bit for now. I don't think the mainstream computer population is ready for 64bit yet, mainly because driver support is still very limited. If you use a wireless network then the answer is simple... 32bit!!!

    Vista 64 vs 32 ??

    I had several issues trying to use 64bit Vista. It seems there isn't really a whole lot of support for the 64bit yet. My wireless network adapter was the main issue. I even went so far as purchasing a new Wireless N adapter from D-Link. When it didn't work I called the D-Link tech support...
