    Card for 2.1

    Heya all. I have Corsair sp2500s 2.1 speakers and I'm looking for a better soundcard to drive them than the onboard realtek I'm using right now. Mostly for gaming, but really 90% of what I play is wow so I don't really think I need anything over the top. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    'The Elder Scrolls Online' Will Have a Subscription Fee

    swtor was a good game, until a month after you hit the level cap and already cleared all the nightmare mode raids and ran outta crap to do. lack of endgame content worth doing and bugs going unfixed for months is why people were dropping like flies in swtor, not because of a sub fee...

    Sharing Tuner over network

    Thanks for the replies. I think sharing the tuner and setting up MCE on the second pc would be best. I have a second extender available but was hoping to view on the pc itself.

    Replacement Yamakasi Catleap parts

    Hey so this is kinda dumb, but basically I'm in need for replacement parts to my Yamakasi Catleap Q270. While removing it from the bezel to mount it I stepped away from a moment and my kitten chewed through nearly every internal cable before I got back. So i need either a part list and place...

    Building my first HTPC. Anything I should be weary of?

    Any opinions on cpu coolers? I'm not sure how much clearance the case has but I believe I need to use something fairly low profile. The quieter the better obviously. I'm coming from gaming pc's and the overclocking/case modding world so building something intentionally smaller and quiet seems...

    Building my first HTPC. Anything I should be weary of?

    cool that's all i needed to know. mce it is. dvr/live tv is main purpose of this. other features all just cool secondary stuff to me.

    Building my first HTPC. Anything I should be weary of?

    Awesome thanks for all the advice. I'd like to stay away from a server for now. In the future maaaaybe. But I just wanted to get this going to start. I'm not too worried about space as i think 2TB will last me until at least 4TB drives are cheaper and I can upgrade then. As it is right now...

    Building my first HTPC. Anything I should be weary of?

    Thanks for the input. PSU is more for future proofing as I do plan on tossing a video card in at some point, and if I ever need another drive. My extenders are 2 xbox 360's so I wouldn't have a problem going to 8 except that I only have technet licenses and adding features onto the pro version...

    Building my first HTPC. Anything I should be weary of?

    So I've grown fed up in paying time warner $40/month in cable box/dvr fee's and decided to switch to a htpc and media center with extenders. I also wanna mess around with steam big picture mode. But haven't ordered a video card just yet as I kinda wanna wait for the gtx 700 series (to go in...
