    He did just get a new monitor, but he's hooked up and tested with his old monitor which had no issue.

    Computer used to take forever to get through POST, now not showing anything

    So quick update, I had him disconnect all drives and try to get into BIOS as well as use the onboard gpu, still no go, most likely it's a dud motherboard, he already started the RMA process for that. I'll be able to test the PSU soon, and he gave me his ramsticks and GPU for me to test.

    Computer used to take forever to get through POST, now not showing anything

    Well it can't even get into the UEFI menu, and I had him disconnect the SSD with windows on it, it should still display something on the screen even if there is no drive with an active boot sector. I highly doubt it is an issue with the windows installation, as it runs without a hitch once it's...

    Computer used to take forever to get through POST, now not showing anything

    This isn't my machine but rather a friends. I so far have tried to debug over the phone, once I get a chance I'll actually head over and do some basic debugging. So the machine has run fine for over a year but recently has started taking longer and longer to startup, as in the screen remained...

    Online Cheating Site Hacked

    Well considering they stole financial information, I wouldn't be surprised if that's also user CC data.

    Must See Digital Photographs of the Day

    Here is a full article on the shoot, including a vimeo video. https://fstoppers.com/aerial/gotham-above-exclusive-interview-and-air-bts-video-vincent-laforet-50982 The thing is I'm not sure if colors were saturated/blown out much at all, also many of the publication shots are heavily...

    I'm moving soon and I'm trying to get rid of alot of things I don't use any more, so prices are already going to be relatively low. Price includes shipping within the continental USA. I haven't sold anything online in a while but I do have my old heatware account...

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    I have those arms and I am currently using 2x 27" LG's with it. It can barely rotate to vertical with it but it works, it's more limited by weight than anything, I had increase the force in the piston to keep the monitors at the height I want. And going from cheaper monitor arms I do love...

    Will this setup work? triple screening(not eyefinity)

    So can anyone confirm if this will work?

    Will this setup work? triple screening(not eyefinity)

    I can't find any active for less than $100, and I've heard they can cause flickering problems, the extra GPU will only cost $10

    Will this setup work? triple screening(not eyefinity)

    I have a 6950 right now and dual 27" monitors. Right nearby I have a new projector HT setup. I realized I couldn't do eyefinity due to neither the screens nor the projector having a displayport naitvely. But if I add a second GPU, say a 5450 with hdmi output, can I have the dual 27" stretch...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    Before I go and butcher some RCA wires, I would like to get a confirmation that this looks correct. I'm always up for cheap experimentation( I have a bunch of spare RCA wires and resistors etc) I did some research and found the only way to combine channels via analog is to use resistors or a...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    I've found that technically the way these work is they either use resistors or transformers. The one I listed uses a transformer. I've found a couple cases on AVS forums where people have used 10k oh resistors in the Wye splitters to prevent shorting both channels for the speakers. Since I...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    Well there is no sub coming in for right now I called audioengine and Energy both have recommended I just hook up one of the channels via RCA to the sub, since most low frequencies are non directional. What do you guys think? Audioengine did say do not use a simple Wye connector to combine...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    I can't cancel the A2's so I'm stuck with them I'm still thinking the $28 amp is my best bet, since like I mentioned before using that adapter my A2's will just be receiving mono input into both channels. akin to mixing both channels together and feeding the mix back into each channel input...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    but by using that adapter wouldn't i basically be combining the two channels together, not only for the sub but for the A2's as well? instead of receiving 2 separate distinct channels the A2's would basically be receiving 2 channels that have been combine into each left and right. I think i'm...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    yeah, well total cost before was 199for A2's + 199 subwoofer, now its 199 for sub + 230ish for receiver + 100 for sattelites so it's now a 25% increase the A2's will slaughter the polks? really? I can't find any comparison period so I have no idea I'm about to just give up and get the A2's...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    I want to keep the sub so I think I can cancel the A2's still If so how's this, its a bit more than what I budgeted but this receiver http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882115313 plus the Polk RM8s($100 on egg right now) I'm assuming the sound quality should be similar to...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    Actually he takes it back, there seems to be no way to connect these since the sub only has High level in or Sub in which is single RCA. I need to make a choice quickly now, do I cancel the energy sub and get either the cheaper yamaha or polk sub which both have rca stereo inputs. Or figure out...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    actually realized I can't hook it up that way, since the Energy sub doesn't have high level output, only input Talking to my friends brother who's pretty good with this stuff, he thinks just splitting the signal from the STX and having 1 go to the A2's and the other to the sub's high input...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    Well, I'm still fairly new to all this The energy has basically two types of input the single RCA sub in which I assume can only take unamplified input, and in any case I can't use because that would require me to combine both channels which would screw up the stereo sound in the A2's. The...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    hmm question if I use something like that won't that screw up the A2's sound? since it's combining stereo into a single RCA? bleh now thinking I'm regretting the energy sub since it doesn't have a dual RCA input
  28. S

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    Ooops one last question The energy sub doesn't have an RCA input, so can I still just use a splitter to combine the two channels into a single mono RCA and use that? and if so is the signal from the sound card too amplified where I will need a Line level converter?

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    I think it is basically both inputs are connected parallel, therefore the sub and speakers run technically in parallel. Basically you're using the A2's as a splitter. I'm sure this is what it does, there have been a few accounts I found where people have set it up this way.

    Well if cancellation at amazon goes through I'll be picking up the energy, didn't know it was on sale on the egg. -edit was able to cancel, getting the energy S10.3

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    Talking to Audioengine they said the A2's secondary input can be used as a passthrough and quite a few people have hooked up a sub in this manner. So whats coming in? Audioengine A2's + the BIC F12 (looking at pictures and specs of the thing scare me, considering the largest sub I've ever...

    Polk Audio PSW10 + Audioengine A2 + Asus STX?

    Ah right I forgot about the speaker level input output. So still any input on the Polk 110? I hear they are way better than the PSW10's not sure if and how much better they may be than the yamaha I only mentioned the PSW10 cuz newegg has em on sale for $89 and I don't have to pay tax...
