Update: I assembled it this past weekend with the original setup I posted. I decided to use Windows 7 Pro with MCE for audio quality purposes. Win 7 also picked up HD PVR support so I think I'll be fine. The system is fast and stable with the original drivers. This week i will connect it...

Oh well, I guess I'll have to sacrifice on something. Thank you for your help. I have a Sonata 3 case with the stock 500W PSU.

I see your point. I've been researching the Nvidia cards, but I'm having trouble finding one that clearly states on board TrueHD Audio. I'd like the best digital audio signal sent to my Onkyo receiver. Also, I see many cards for 210 but none at newegg that are 'GT 210'. Hard to beat the...

Any thoughts? advice?

I'm looking to build a fairly simple HTPC/Media Server for my theater setup. I want to use Mythbuntu for the OS/software. I also have a hd pvr for recording. My research led me to this build: MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-770TA-UD3 AM3 AMD 770 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard Link CPU: AMD...

Does anyone have experience with Peerless wall mounts? esp. the SP850? Thanks!

Is there a definitive list out there with all CableCard ready PCs? I don't mean just the brands, but the model #s too.

I never thought of buying a Media Center Extender. It looks like nice. But, I was basically going to use my HDTV as a second monitor for the desktop. That'll be ok right? I thought the HP m9100z desktops were built for cablecards, but now I'm not sure if their TV tuner is a cablecard one...

First, let me say I want to design a multimedia system with a desktop and a HDTV. I will have my Comcast digital box plugged directly into the TV for OnDemand content. I also want the desktop to view and record digital HD channels and display them on the TV. I was a little disappointed to...

Yes, I struggle with being told 1080p is the standard when i have to buy a blu-ray DVD player to see it. I think I'll settle for the 720p for at least 2 years and re-evaluate what is actually being broadcast.

Thanks everyone.

SatTech, What makes 1080p good to have?

I begin finishing the basement soon and I need a TV for the new room when it is done. My wife and I decided to buy a smaller HDTV for right now. This way we don't stretch our savings too thin after finishing the basement. This TV will eventually move upstairs in the living or bedroom. At...

SAMSUNG SpinPoint P Series 250GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM Saw this newegg deal which seems pretty good. Anyone had experience with these Samsung drives?

What is a good site for Monitor Reviews? I need a LCD to show off a 7900GT. I'd like to make the jump to widescreen, but cost might be an issue. I also need to be sure there are 64-bit drivers available.

I've been making Intel boards with ATI graphics cards for a while. I wanted to see how the other half lives this time for both AMD and nVidia.

I decided against SLI mobo and ATI card. Read last post.

I think I have an AMD system fast and cheap enough for him. eVGA Geforce 7800GT CO SE 256-P2-N516 Video Card ASUS A8N-E ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 1GHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel Kit System Memory...

It is a lot of fun spending other people's money. I'm not too worried about a DVD drive. I've seen writers on newegg for $40. He does not need a flashy case so that will save money. I am definately sold on the AMD 3800 x2. Checking prices for it now. Saw this today...

Thanks everyone. Any suggestions on different mobo? I'd like to stay with ASUS. Its been the most reliable brand I have ever had.

His budget is under 2k.

I have built 6 computers using Intel chips. I guess when I was younger I liked watching the Intel guys dance in space suits. But my dad has finally convinced me to convert to AMD. He just built a dual core PC and I am impressed. So, I figured I would start out small and help out a friend...

I recently found an old never been used Dell c800 pretty cheap. I think I am going to buy it for my wife's take home work. What is the best wireless option for connection to my Westell Versalink?

It looks like ATI has wokred out most of the bugs with this update. I was almost ready to make the switch to nVidia. Important Note: Anytime you install CCC over top of a pre-existing version you can expect a lot of trouble. I have had to wipe windows clean twice. Once because I was...
