    Some questions about a budget 5.1 surround system build

    Wait, what? That's one hell of a markup, then. I see them everywhere here for $600 at most. The UMC-1 alone is $500, and with everything else added in, that's got to be something like $1200. There are cheaper receivers out there that are still worth it, though. What kind of offerings do...

    Some questions about a budget 5.1 surround system build

    As a general rule of thumb for audio equipment, listen to your ears, not necessarily the opinions of others. If you haven't heard any receivers, go listen to them (if there are stereo/home theater shops in Bulgaria, they'll almost certainly have at least some pair of speakers hooked up to one)...

    Baldur's Gate and Badur's Gate II Enhanced Edition officially just announced

    Yeah, I feel you on that. To be really good at BG2 unfortunately meant you had to be fairly familiar with the AD&D ruleset, as well as what the monsters were generally like. If you didn't know dragons had high MR (and how MR worked in AD&D), for example, I can see completely flailing trying to...

    Baldur's Gate and Badur's Gate II Enhanced Edition officially just announced

    The key to beating any dragon in BG2 was always your mages (mages were generally to just about any fight in the game, really). You could fill a Spell Trigger with three Lower Resistances ahead of time and fire that at the dragon in the opening round of battle. By the time you get to ToB, each...

    Upgrading a monitor's panel?

    No, it would not. The three panel types do different things when voltage is applied to the pixels; going from TN to IPS would not produce a good image, if it produced one at all. The panels are also going to have different impedances, etc. than what the processors on the control circuitry are...

    Upgrading a monitor's panel?

    You would have to start completely from scratch. Go look up the different panel types and you'll immediately see why; even before then, how do you plan on attaching the panel? No offense, but the kind of electronics work required is probably also beyond your skill and/or seriously not worth...

    Help on picking sub

    No, but I can tell you that the low E (open 4th string in standard tuning) on a bass/bass guitar is at 41 Hz, and is about the lowest music is ever likely to go (and even then, not that often). If you listen to classical/piano a lot, A0, the lowest key on the piano, comes in at 27.5 Hz, but I...

    Mutli channel headset with 3.5mm plugs

    Multichannel headphones are gimmicks. Two channel is all you need for surround with headphones. Headphone algorithms take advantage of the way your brain processes sound cues (this is why "headphones" is a separate audio option from "2/2.1 speakers") to make a surround environment using two...

    NASA: 2012 Solar Flares Could Devastate Cities!

    Not really. It's a nice pithy quote, but Smith is wrong. Other mammals and animals are kept in check by predators if they exist, and the apex predators (which includes us) are kept in check by food supply. If you remove those restrictions, they would multiply without end until they hit new...

    New 5.1 Speakers, Z-5500 or Receiver and Bookshelfs? Recommendations wanted

    For the wire, how long will the runs be? 5 ft? 10 ft? 20? Depending on the length, any old wire will do, as long as it is at least 14 AWG. I use some old lamp cord a friend had lying around for my setup. Mark one of the wires at both ends so you don't get the sound out of phase, and you're...

    Any one place myst 5? Stupid question...

    It's been a while since I played, but isn't the slate icon placed along the bottom of the screen? Mousing over and clicking on it should bring the slate back, as I recall.

    Borderlands: Crawmerax - Anyone want to help me kill him?

    Not quite. the modding filter only checks to see whether the gun parts are correct for that type of gun; that means, IIRC, it only checks grip, barrel, stock, sight, mag, body, and maybe accessory. It does not check title or prefix, which can have their own effects in addition to those from...

    Borderlands: Crawmerax - Anyone want to help me kill him?

    To learn which parts go where, go here. It has lists of all the parts that are associated with each weapon type, their effects, as well as pictures of each. For example, the gun Ruoh posted has Combat Rifle barrel5, body5, stock5, grip5 (since it's an Atlas), mag4, sight1, and the Ogre...
