You guys may think I'm strange, but an old flexible tent pole (comes with pop-up style tents) with the bungee cord inside replaced with stranded wire helped me greatly. Not only was it strong enough to push through the insulation in the wall, it was small enough to fit into the 3/4 inch holes I...
Its a surprise no one has mentioned this, ive had trouble with it in the past... where did you get your crimper? I got my first one from radioshack (the $30 jobber that does RJ-45 as well as RJ-11), and it seemed to do a good job until I plugged it in. 3 of 5 cables didn't work, the other two at...
Bought my wife a new laptop, and now I'm jealous! So mine is now for sale.
I bought this laptop brand new from ToshibaDirect on 2/12/2008. Adult owned, and I take excellent care of my gear.
It's currently running Windows 7 Ultimate, although the Microsoft license key I am including is for...
I'm trying to build a MythTV frontend...
I've got a Core2Quad Q6600, and a set of Corsair Dual Channel DDR2.
I was attempting to run the Asus P5N7A-VM (because it's got a BUNCH of onboard stuff)
However, I couldn't get the board running smoothly with Linux.
What MicroATX Socket 775...

I just learned about monoprice.com. AWESOME site to buy home theater stuff..
However, they don't appear to sell tools..
Where can I buy the compression tool (not just 'crimp') for F-connectors (the ones on antennas) for a price that's not overinflated?
Well, PREFERABLY.
This will be a dedicated Linux/MythTV frontend.
At the moment, Linux can't use hardware decoding on that card without using HDPAU, and HDPAU isn't supported until revision 0.22 (I'm running "stable" 0.21)
So, short answer is, at the moment, no, the GPU won't be doing...
Hey everyone, I'm building a new HTPC based on the ASUS P5N7A-VM motherboard.

This is not necessarily a 'budget' pc because it will be decoding h.264 1080i, but I don't want to break the bank on a processor..
Anyone know of a...
Check out the new Hauppauge HD-PVR.
I can take the commercial set-top box that receives HBO, send it using the analog component video output into my HD-PVR, and record it to my mythbackend.
Oh snap!
best earbuds I've ever owned are "Marshmallows" by JVC.
They're available in pink, blue, and black.
Instead of resting on your ear, they've got a foam surround that you roll tight and then insert them INTO your ear. Then they expand and seal the gap between your ear and the earbud...
I've got a Compaq EVO laptop
no pics at the moment, it's collecting dust in my closet.
It's the one that has no internal removable drives, just a hard drive.
There's a 'docking station" that has the floppy and all the I/O ports..
Let me know if you're interested :)
