I have my house pretty much setup for a combined system. With 1 Server, 2 HTPCs which play stored audio and video. However I'm looking for something to play MP3s from the server in a bedroom. Silence is priority 1. I was thinking a via mini sized board with a small case and small LCD...

Has anyone else had problems finding these in stock? I picked up 1 on Monday on Newegg to check out the quality. Since it ecxeeded my expectation I went back to pick up another and they were sold out. I couldn't find it at either zipzoomfly or directron either. Seems like its not in stock at...

I want to listen to 2 PCs through 1 set of speakers(5.1). From what I've read I should be looking for a mixer. Are there any other options such as maybe a bunch of Y splitters?

I was planning on having 2 cards. 1 of which would need to be dual DVI the other could be single(which I have a few of laying around). Most if not all the dual DVI cards at newegg are overkill for my use. Just looking to save a few bucks. Not sure if I'll sell the NF7, Its been with me...

I'm looking to upgrade(replace) my HTPC, NF7-S w/ Athlon 2500. For a MB I was looking at ABIT AN9 32X, although its somewhat overkill but meets the reqs of 6+ sata slots, raid 5 capable, and dual nics. For a CPU I'll be going as cheap as possible. For a tuner I'm leaning toward a...

I run a Linksys WRT54G router on my homenetwork. With 2 XP boxes connected by wire, 1 of them works fine the other constantly has issues. Physically the router and cables are fine because if I switch the cable between PCs the good PC always works. The bad PC can't renew its IP address, it...

They are installing Verizon FIOS in my area, looks like I can get 15Mbps/2Mbps for what $45 a month. Much better than the 5Mbps/386Kbps that road runner gives me. Is there anything hidden or wrong with FIOS that would make it a bad change?

Just curious but since hes going to be playing ROMS, why would you need the quality of DVI. Don't get me wrong I use a DVI-HDMI cable for my setup but thats because I want the quality. If all I was playing was ROMs and wanted something cheap I'd go for S-Video.

I've had my 46" Toshiba connected to my PC(7800gtx), since day 1 with no issues.

I have 3 pci slots on the board and can get an individual card to install on each one. Also I've tested that both cards work. It seems like I have open IRQs.

I'm stumped on this one, although I think it has something to do with memory aloocation or IRQs. My HTPC is built on an abit k8n, and is running winXP SP2. I have 2 hauppage 150s, and can get either to work in the system alone, in either of the 2 pci slots. However whenever I try to...

Can anyone recomend a PCI-E video card for me. It will be outputted to a Toshiba 46" DLP incase that helps. Mainly used for movies and recorded TV.

Not much of an OC, but at 1.36V my 0541RPMW 170 is stable. I actually didn't intend to OC it so soon but I didn't change the BIOS settings when I took out the old CPU. Running 2 instances of Pi the temp leveled out at 41CPU. Cooling is a Scythe Ninja, no fan. Hopefully I'll have time this...

My 170 just arrived... OSA170DAA6CD CCBWE 0541RPMW Not sure how well it will do since the rest of the PC hasn't arrived yet.

Are there any places that currently have the 170 in stock?
