    dual monitors

    Thanks. I found the block diagram in the manual which shows a separate output block from the 780G chipset for D-Sub and for DVI-D/HDMI with a note on the latter stating that there is no simultaneous support for DVI-D and HDMI. So I assume this means there is simultaneous support for D-Sub and...

    MSI Diva Live PSU

    Hi all, How much power needed for MSI board? If it's 100W per channel, and I have 5 channels, do I need to make sure that my PSU has at least 500W just for the speakers? Plus whatever is needed for chipset, cpu, HDDs, etc? From my readings I see that people are often using lower power PSUs.

    HTPC CPU Cooler

    Javabri, Where did you purchase the Silent Flux Cooler? I found their website but the 3 links they provide for purchasing either require or a login or I can't find the item there. I'm located in Canada in case that makes a difference.
