    Options for RF remotes?

    I thought that the 360 for Windows package included a wireless adapter, silly me. I can't find the receiver at any local store that sells the controllers though... any idea what product name I should search for?

    Options for RF remotes?

    Yes, it would be solely for HTPC use. I considered getting a PS3 controller (I do play some classics that would benefit from this), but I was unimpressed with the lack of replaceable batteries. The 360 controller seems like a decent idea, I'm sure I could hide it when it is not in use, now I...

    Options for RF remotes?

    I'm a bit of a compulsive minimalist, and to be honest, anything over about 6 buttons is borderline repulsive to me. I don't think 6 buttons is limiting - infact, I think it is just about perfect. My original idea of using an Apple Remote was (I think) fantastic, but the line of sight problem is...

    Options for RF remotes?

    Thanks, I may end up having to go that route. Are there any more simple remotes, however? All I really need is a 6 button remote, like the classic Apple Remote. 4 arrow keys, an okay button, and a menu button would be great, I could set it up how I like with Girder or Intelliremote.

    Options for RF remotes?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to get a RF (Radio Frequency) remote for my HTPC, I also wouldn't be opposed to a bluetooth one, but I would rather avoid the hassle of pairing. The only RF remote I've found is the Gyration remotes and one from X10, the X10 remote is pretty fugly, and while the Gyration...

    Mini-ITX build, a few questions about cooling, power and cases

    So, another round of questions: has anyone found any reviews/etailers for the Lian Li PC Q-09? Will the Q-09 fit the stock Intel cooler? Thanks for the help so far, everyone!

    Mini-ITX build, a few questions about cooling, power and cases

    I like the idea of the ISK 300 series, but I just can't imagine them having enough airflow. SPCR's review (http://www.silentpcreview.com/Antec_ISK300-65) had load temperatures in the high 60s, even when doubling the amount of fans inside. :( I really love the Q-09 because there is a very...

    Mini-ITX build, a few questions about cooling, power and cases

    IdiotInCharge provides a good explanation. TDP is an estimate of heat output, so you can use it to 'ballpark' estimate the energy input required, or, in other words, the processors power consumption. The 73 watt TDP doesn't mean the processor is going to draw 73 watts of power, in fact, most of...

    Mini-ITX build, a few questions about cooling, power and cases

    I think with a silent 80mm fan, the noise shouldn't be too much of an issue. Of course, I would much prefer a 120mm fan, but I can't find many mITX cases that accomodate that, and have features I want. ;) The TDP of a processor refers to how much heat needs to be dissapated for the...

    Mini-ITX build, a few questions about cooling, power and cases

    I've always loved the look of the M-350, but I could never get past the fact that my hard drive will practically be touching the chipset heatsink. Also, I get the feeling, just by looking at the Zotac board layout, that the CPU heatsink is going to interfere with the hard drive mount in either...

    Mini-ITX build, a few questions about cooling, power and cases

    Hi everyone, long time reader, first time poster. I'm moving to a new apartment and want to build a smaller computer for myself, and loved the idea of downsizing not only the components, but also the power supply (and, likely, my bill too). So, without further ado, my build plan is below. I...
