    Keyboard Recommendations.

    Has anyone used this one? It seems to have a sexier design and seems really functional (mouse button locations, scroll wheel, etc.) No back lighting though. Expensive too. But I may still get one. http://ergogeek.com/max-geek-2.4-ghz-rf-wireless-keyboard-with-optical-trackball-mouse-usb.html

    Replacement Mobo?

    Maybe the asus board but the biostar doesn't have a pci-e 2 or a gigabit network. Price isn't that much of a problem but I would like to keep it all under 200.

    Replacement Mobo?

    I currently have only 2 gb ram bc I am running XP. I know it doesn't really utilize more than that (well, 3) so I thought might as well not waste the money. Btw, how do the onboard video of the mentioned boards compare to a gt 240 with 512 ddr5 ram? Should I just stick with the onboard? It'd...

    Replacement Mobo?

    or Gigabyte GA-G41M because you can use ddr3 later if you want to upgrade. Can't tell if it has pci-e 2.0 though. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6572462&CatId=1533

    Replacement Mobo?

    Hello all, I have an old P5B-Plus that I believe is crapping out on me and I am looking for a replacement. I love Asus' but I don't care if I venture out of that brand. I would like to use my old parts for it as they really aren't that bad. Here's what I have to reuse: E6600 Dual Core Duo...

    HTPC Software advice sought

    Well, if you have a little patience... I am working on a program that will do everything you suggested and more. These are two very old screen grabs of an extreme alpha stage. I am in beta for many of the plugins and it is about to be released. The movies, weather, netflix, facebook, and tv...

    Interface for HTPC? Wireless Keyboard too big...

    Hey all, I have been looking around for an easy, SMALL, all in one, pointer / arrow key combo for my htpc. The only thing that has worked at this point has been a wiimote. It has the arrow keys and mouse capability. There are drawbacks to it though. Batteries die, need to turn on wii to use...

    Opinions on the Acer Aspire AS5741-3541?

    I finally went with the Acer Aspire AS7740-6656. It has the 17 in screen with an I5 processor, 500 gb hdd, and the media reader I wanted. And on top of all that, since it is for my wife, she loves blue! (It's blue. lol) All for basically the price of the 15 inch I was looking at. Awesome...

    Opinions on the Acer Aspire AS5741-3541?

    Hey there, thanks for the advice. I saw those two. Specs I am looking for: I3 or I5 (although from what it sounds like, there isn't much difference when it comes to budget laptops) 4 gb Ram 500 Hdd would be nice but I COULD do a 320. 17" screen. (The 15's screens are too small...)...

    new desktop replacement - ±$1200

    The only recommendation I can give (I am looking for a new laptop too) is that the lower end I3's and I5's are basically the same. The I5 has the turbo boost function but mostly people say it is basically useless. Aka, don't spend more on a cheap I5 when an I3 is almost the same. : ) I was...

    Opinions on the Acer Aspire AS5741-3541?

    Well, I luckily was able to see one locally. I do like the laptop except the screen is a bit small. Not sure if I like that. Anyone have any other recommendations? I5, 4 GB Ram, 500 (or 320) gb hdd, and a media reader?
