Just an update (I know it has been a while), but I finished wiring my home just over a year ago. I ended up drilling 3 separate holes through all of my joists' to minimize the amount of compromise in my homes structure. It passed the city building inspection/requirements with flying colors...

The only problem with using hooks on the joists is that I plan on finishing my basement. I am going to have to drill holes to keep the wires above the drywall line. I suppose I can use the hooks when I run parallel to the joists though - if that's what you mean. It's going to be tricky and...

Thank you all for your responses. I did have a friend at work who went to their house when nobody was there and ran their own Ethernet lines. The builder didn't have a problem with it and it just so happens that I am building through the same people. I'm pretty sure I won't have to worry...

I am currently building a new home and plan on running my own cat5e or cat6e Ethernet cable throughout. Our contractor charges $80 per run and I plan on having at least two runs per room x5 rooms, so running my own cable is going to save me thousands. I am a Network Administrator and have been...

So, for example: if I upgrade from my AMD X2 4400+ 2.2Ghz to a FX-60 2.6Ghz then you're saying that I will get improved frame rates?

Ok, so question... I have been wanting a new monitor for years now and have been closely reading reviews on the T220 and 2233rz. From everything I have read the 2233rz is supposed to feel a lot more smooth and natural when gaming. The only bad thing about it that I have read is that it only...

Good advice on unwinding one of the screws and using it to pull on, but after I un-screwed all 12 screws this time the plate came right off with nearly any effort. When I got it opened up I saw many problems. Nearly all of the power connectors to each of my channels was loosly fitted and a...

cool, thanks... I'll give it a try later in the week and post my findings/results. Thanks again for the tips on getting the panel out.

Ok, this is really weird, but here we go. So, nobody has replied to my post yet and I didn't want to wait any longer. Therefore I decided to try taking the sub apart to see if there were any lose connections on the board, a blown fuse, or any scortch marks. I took out all 12 screws on the...

Ok, so I have had a problem with my ProMedia's for about 2 years now. I finally decided that enough was enough and spent all weekend trying to figure out what the issue was. I narrowed it down to the sub. At first I thought it was my PC, but after plugging in each speaker one by one into each...
