    Found: HTPC Sweet Spot (HP Slimline & LCD TV)

    So, I actually took my computer with me to the store when I bought it. They were very open to letting me try it out on the floor model. It looked great there and at home. My TV handle do 1080i, but the 6150LE video card in the s3120n slimline can really only handle the 1366 resolution when...

    Found: HTPC Sweet Spot (HP Slimline & LCD TV)

    I have been working for years to put together a great home theater PC system. At long last, I am fully content with what I've put together. What I wanted was a machine that was relatively inexpensive, could be operated from a single remote, and could play ALL of my media (MP3, Analog Cable...

    $10, is it really that much help?

    Ok, here's the followup. I got the XFX 7300gs (shipped really fast!). Installed the card with the latest Nvidia drivers (163.75) and as soon as media center starts.... BSOD!!! In a last ditch effort, I went back to the favorite 100.65 drivers and they work fine! This makes no sense to me...

    For those of you having trouble with your slimline (or any other vista machine for that matter) not waking up from sleep. I found a few references to people having the same problem if they changed ANY of the default power management settings. I reset mine to the defaults and used the...

    Hey s3120n users. I just ordered an XFX 7300gs from Amazon. I am trying to get better quality OTA HD performance and higher resolution output without overloading my power supply. From wikipedia, the power usage of the 7300gs is much lower than the 8400gs that I tried. It does have a fan, so...

    2 things seem to cause choppyness for me. 1) If the 6150 is run at a very high resolution (above 1280x800 for me). Lower resolutions work fine 2) If the signal isn't VERY strong. I have a high quality TERK HD antenna and if I position it right, all but one channel is nice and smooth. If I...

    Adding Radio Tuning to Vista Media Center

    I am interested in adding broadcast AM/FM radio tuning to my vista media center pc. I have found several TV tuners that also pickup FM stations and tried using internet radio stations through my media but am looking for a standalone USB option. Griffin makes the Radio Shark (2) AM/FM tuner...

    I'm going to echo the idea that it occured after something was updated. This only started a few days ago and had never happened before that. What did we all update? Was there a windows update? HP update? Maybe it's because we're approaching daylight savings!:eek:

    Yes Yes Yes! Thank you for bringing this up! I have noticed a few more details as well... In addition to the monitor not turning back on, the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive (the caps lock / num lock etc will not turn on and off telling me there is no power going to it.) Another point is...

    HP Pavilion Slimline s3200t (Intel) Questions

    The 8800GT will NOT fit. You need to be looking at low profile (smaller width) cards. The power supply is an issue. I put a low profile 8400gs in my s3120n (160 watt PSU) and it got hot real quick and caused video playback to get chopppy. I also don't think you'll have much luck upgrading...

    I have never seen a reference to it being able to do QAM, but I'm not sure. Thanks for the confirmation that linking to a HD monitor by VGA is ok. I guess I was a DVI/HDMI snob and maybe VGA is all I need. No need to upgrade that video card now!

    Will you switch to a USB/external TV tuner or just go without? I'm not watching HD/DVDs, but would like the extra horsepower of an 8400gs (is yours fan or passive cooled?)
