I definitely use and need a case. Been using LifeProof cases on my iPhones since they first started releasing the cases. Have the fiance on them now too. Godsend for klutzes like us, and their customer support is top notch. That being said, whenever I get a new phone, I remember how nice and...

Sweet Motorola Pebl for the kid at the 1:00 mark. 2006-08 super tech! (to be fair, my mom still adores her's)

My ProMedia 5.1 Ultra subwoofer's amp shat the bed (just a fluke on a very tenderly used system) and I ended up replacing that setup with a pair of M-Audio M40's which have served me quite well. I honestly don't miss the bass too much in games, and I moved the satellites to a backup home theater...

I agree with others that I'll wait for reviews. But more than professional reviews, I'm more interested in user reviews after said reviewers have owned the keyboard for at least a year. I'm really leery of illuminated keyboards losing their LED capabilities in one way or another after seeing...

I agree that a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game would be fantastic, but I thoroughly enjoyed Metro: 2033 and have no doubt that this will be a similarly fun romp. Will it have a lot of replayability? Probably not. The other didn't either. Will it probably kill my lowly PC? Probably. But it will also...

Maybe I'm missing something, but once iOS 6 hits the 4S users, weren't we supposed to be able to use FaceTime on 3G as well? Will that be adversely affected by this, price-wise? :(

I know it's very exciting! It definitely is SPDIF, and I'm only getting stereo, while currently playing Blu-rays through Power DVD 9 Ultra. No sub-action or surround. I'll try futzing with stuff a bit more and see what I can see. So many settings! Ugh. Thanks ya'all! I'm just happy to be hearing...

It was and I thought I had lost it, but after some extensive cleaning tracked it down earlier tonight! Also found this EVGA FAQ http://www.evga.com/support/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=58804 that helped save me some guesswork on which pins to utilize. Oddly enough, after plugging it all back...

Yep I looked in my mobo manual and it is a bit cryptic about the pins, but I have the cord ordered! Iit will be a bit before it arrives though - two-day shipping made the total ~$25 and forget that, but I'll be sure to update when I get it and hopefully all will be well! Fingers crossed! Thanks...

Did a little more reading and may have found the issue? Evidently it's possible I should be using a SPDIF cable that has a 2-pin connection on the side of the 285 (just looked in the case and verified this connection being there), but if I ever had that cable (very likely from looking at old...

With the Audigy and Realtek disabled, I saw no devices.

Thanks for the votes of confidence, folks! Wish I could come back with better news. I tried disabling both the Audigy and Realtek, but then upon starting up the computer, it merely said I had no audio devices installed. I went into the Nvidia Control Panel out of morbid curiosity, and found...

I had my suspicions. Though I'm definitely using the adapter that came with my video card. Never bought such a thing otherwise. Bollocks, I'm not ready to upgrade a still decent card just to have native HDMI outputs. :(

I cannot for the life of me get any audio from my PC to play through the external speakers via receiver OR when just hooked up straight from the PC to the television. Here's the gear first: TV: Sony KDL-EX500 (firmware already updated) Sound card: Audigy 2 ZS (drivers as current as possible)...

As excited as I was for thousands of people to analyze what would finally determined to be a bird dropping, I guess I'll put my money with twig as well. Anticlimax. :(
