    How should I connect desktop to receiver?

    Thanks, that's a clever trick. I'll give that a try. I tried this but it wouldn't let me set the resolution to 2560x1600 (the native resolution of my primary monitor), presumably because HDMI doesn't support resolutions this high?

    How should I connect desktop to receiver?

    This is what I ended up doing since I couldn't find a way to get the HDMI connection to send only audio without also trying to extend/mirror my desktop as well. Seems to be working fine so far with the coax connection. Skripka, what did you mean when you said this connector is very limited...

So far it seems like I can't configure the video card to send just audio over the HDMI connection without it also trying to extend my desktop across that connection as well, but that's a video problem, not an audio one :) What's the right way to test that...

    SFF newbie - help with a barebones build?

    Awesome, thank you both! Yeah, unfortunately newegg.ca tends to have more limited selection than its .com equivalent. I'm sure I'll be able to find components that match the general build idea you set out, though, so thanks for taking the time to put that together :)

    SFF newbie - help with a barebones build?

    Hi! I'm looking to supplement my current power-thirsty gaming rig with a second slimmed-down machine to run 24/7. I've built a few rigs before but they've all been ATX form factor. I'm a complete newbie to the world of building smaller things. :) I'm looking for something like a Mac Mini, but...

    Help me refresh my 3-year old gaming rig!

    Thanks for the feedback! Do you have any specific GPU suggestions? I'm ambivalent on the NVIDIA vs. ATI debate, so I wouldn't mind switching to an ATI card if they have the best price/performance ratio right now.
