Hi all, My uncle's got a business where he provides free wifi access to his clients, but there are a few problems with the network as it's designed. First, the wifi access point is only 1, and it's literally outside the building in a 'mechanical' room so the signal strength sucks. The IT...

Bump!

Bump, taking offers!

Continental US only. I sent this out on an RMA and just got it back, and in the interim I bought a new board as I couldn't wait for the RMA. Just trying to recoup some of the cost since I couldn't wait. It's a new board off RMA, originally purchased 3/17. PM with any questions, first one gets...

So I'm having some issues waking my PC from my XBox 360 (MCE Extender, it *does* send a magic packet). That said, I got WOL to work once when I went into the BIOS and set the PC to use "BIOS" settings for Wakeup capabilities. However, the USB, and everything else is unresponsive so I had to do...

Think this will be an issue if I get rid of the ATI card?

Oh, it wakes the monitor fine.. like I said, I just have no sound.

I'm using HDMI for video and audio through a ATI 6870, into a Denon receiver. When I boot my HTPC, I get video, audio, and everything works fine. When I put it to sleep, I turn off my receiver. When I wake it up, I don't get sound. Some things I've found are that when I turn on the receiver...

Bumpity

Both were bought from Newegg, so these are the original links to them: OCZ 4GB DDR2 240pin Kit: $40 shipped to the continental US http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227195 HIS Radeon 4870 1GB: $80 shipped to the continental US...

Again, the wireless/wired isn't the issue here. I am content with running a long USB cable if I really have to. I only game at night and I can wrap it up so it's not a big deal or an eyesore. That said, I just don't know how I can accommodate that stuff on my lap. That's my main issue. So if...

Okay, so I am building a home theater PC, and I want to be able to use my keyboard/mouse from a distance. Now whether I have to get a long USB or go wireless is irrelevant honestly, because I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to hold them both and be comfortable to game!?! I am open to ideas...

How do you play games on it? I was thinking about getting a dual monitor setup for development purposes, however I am still a gamer. I don't want to stretch the gaming screen across two monitors because some games will flat out look stupid, and others will push my GPU too far. I don't need to...

Any ideas? It will be a 2HD server that will run Win 2008, SQL, and maybe some other stuff. It's going to be my development box and backup box. Feel free to chip in with suggestions :)

This seems to be the right bet... I'm going with it, provided I can find it elsewhere as Newegg charges me tax :( EDIT: Even with the tax, Newegg is by far the cheapest. Thanks a lot!
