    Seeking advice on upgrade from Gigaworks s750 to real home theater setup

    HK refurbs are worth a look if you're looking for a receiver on a budget too. they sell on ebay direct from the factory under the name "harmanaudio"

    Buying a new card -->Chaintech AV-710 Sound Card?

    there's nothing fantastic about the via envy24 audio chipset. the only reason the chaintech av710 is popular is due to it being a very cheap optical out solution. if you are feeding powered speakers an analog stereo connection it will be a downgrade for you, because via envy24 cards have no...

    Audio Advice (speakers receivers)

    do some research and try to properly match your receiver and your speakers. it's easy to go wrong... for instance klipsch and axiom speakers are naturally kinda bright because of the metal tweeters, so you will want a warmer sounding amp to balance them out. the best fit for those speakers...

    hardware choices. please help.

    why not modded xboxes for the lowdef TVs? you can get an xbox for about 50-75 bucks, doesn't cost anything to softmod or flash (in the case of 1.5 or older). as for the HD machines, the nvidia 6150 mobos, especially MSI with component out included, look pretty tough to beat, imo.

    What are the benefits of a HTPC over other equipment?

    Purchase NOW or LATER (Opteron 170)

    i think alot of it is people basically having full control of what used to be northbridge functionality in their bios and not understanding all that goes along with that. i've been overclocking CPUs since the K6-3+ 450 and 66mhz Celeron days and felt like someone who just fell off the truck...

    FS: Sapphire X800XL AGP

    yes, it's agp. i don't think sapphire makes these anymore under their brand name, they just make the ATI retail cards and sell full cards to third parties. card is a bit rare at retail due to that, i don't think they ever sold a chipset/reference design for it, they were all made for ATI (by...

    FS: Sapphire X800XL AGP

    mfr. link prices seem to be varying wildly on these from what i see on forums but new ones are still kinda high, dunno. considering it's probably on the upper end of gaming cards for a system still stuck with AGP i suppose it still has some value, so lets say 150 shipped. no box/software...
