    HTPC Video csrd that outputs 7.1 LPCM over HDMI

    Are there any cards other than the 4850 and 4870 that will output 8 channel uncompressed audio over HDMI? Looking for something low power if possible. No gaming, just movies, so audio capabilities are more important than video (as long as it will do 1080).

    Hitachi announces 1TB SATA drive

    Hitachi just announced the 1TB SATA to their channel partners. It's a 5 platter design, perpendicular recording, and 32MB cache. Unfortunately at full speed a drive that size will take about 2 days to fully load with data. It's currently slated to ship mid-April, so Hitachi should beat...

    Thanks Newegg for the quick shipment, wish I could say the same for Zipzoomfly, as my CPU won't be here until Thursday. It's such a shame to have such a great looking board just sitting there with no CPU. Oh well.... two more days. Full review of this board to follow.
