    27" iMac displayport Input

    Sorry to revive a dead-ish thread, but just in case anyone is curious (or searches for this at a later date), I just upgraded my gaming PC equipped with an EVGA GTX 780 and it worked great (after I found my displayport -> mini displayport adapter).

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Is anyone talking about these guys yet? http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/amd-makes-eyefinity-easier-with-line-of-budget-minded-active-dis/ I have no idea if this applies at all (particularly to non-ati/non-eyefinity cards), or if it's of no help whatsoever. Leaving it to you smarter...

    Speaker and Headphone Rigs Discussion

    Thanks folks! @Zink: eBay rules supreme. They weren't the cheapest things ever (Though a bargain at $20/ea if you ask me), but I just searched until I found someone selling more than qty 1 of the same stand (so I'd get a matching pair without much trouble on my end).

    Post Your Mac Setup!

    Thanks for the reaction! :) They're from 17" G5 iMacs... picked them up on ebay. I chopped the tops, drilled and tapped, and mounted hardware store aluminum flat stock. The speakers are held on with 3m command double stick tape.

    Mic problem with Auzentech X-FI Prelude 7.1

    So the headset with the boom mic still wasn't loud enough... I gave up and put the little onboard sound card in (maximus formula) and used the mic input from there. It allowed me a 30+ mic boost and I can practically whisper into my zalman clip on mic at chest level and it's loud and clear...

    Mic problem with Auzentech X-FI Prelude 7.1

    Are you using a desktop/clip-on mic? I have this problem with the prelude and vista 64 using a zalman clip-on. But when I hold the mic to my mouth it's perfectly loud. I'm planning on frankensteining the mic off a headset on to my cans to get the mic close to my mouth, but I just got the...

    Hooking up a Sub to 2ch amp

    Yes, you can pass through to the sub via speaker-level in/outs (assuming it's a typical standalone subwoofer with plate amp). This thread also touches on the topic: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1288939

    Amp suggestions in the ~$1000 range?

    Doesn't that mean that the $61 shipping price doesn't apply to you? Continental US = Contiguous 48, I believe. Hopefully I'm misunderstanding. -mike

    Budget 2.1 setup

    Keep in mind if you do that, you will either have to control volume at your source (PC?), or adjust the t-amp knob AND the sub gain. Alternatively, you can use the speaker level in/out on the sub and pass through to the bookshelf speakers, which may or may not meet your SQ requirements.
