    Digital Output Question: On-board vs. Separate Card

    I have a question regarding my on-board Realtek soundcard. I currently have my sound hooked up from the on-board card optical-out to a 5:1 Yamaha receiver out to my speakers. It works quite well for me. The soundcard can output DDL and Dolby Pro Logic IIx. Since I am using digital outputs...

    MS lawsuit settlement in Iowa

    Hopefully, this is an OK forum to post this in. Just does not seem to fit anywhere else. Anyway... I live in Iowa. The state filed a lawsuit against MS for price fixing and won. If a resident had purchased OS's and Office between the late 90's and mid 2000's, you were entitled to a...

    Which disk configuration to upgrade to?

    I am upgrading a pair of Hitachi 80 GB drives (Raid 0, SATA 1) to obtain more drive space. I currently have a WD1600YS (160GB) drive that I use for mp3's, my CD collection, general data and backup. I just purchased a pair of Seagate 7200.10 320 GB drives from the nice Fry's deal @ 59 bucks...

    Fuzion Nozzles

    OK, I must not have been keeping up on WC'ing enough. I see from another thread that the Fuzion has a nozzle kit available. I have a E6600 and it would always be nice to get a little more performance (or cooling) gain. I take it that they actually provide a decent cooling upgrade from a...

    Which 22" Display would you get?

    I'm going to be getting a 22" LCD this weekend. I've narrowed the choices to the following, in no particular order: Gateway FPD2275W: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8043253&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat104900050012&id=1158104010371 HP W2207...

    Where to buy External Enclosures?

    I have an extra IDE HD that I have hooked up to a IDE to USB converter. It's not in an enclosure currently. Kind of ghetto, but it is off in a hidden corner, and it works. I have it in a "cradle" sideways, so it stays relatively cool. But I'm getting tired of the "bare" drive and now I am...

    My latest external waterbox

    Just thought I would post a few pixs of my latest external waterbox case. As you can see, I have a bunch of Crystalfontz displays. I write screens for their CrystalControl2 software, take pixs of the screens for their User Screens Forum and help maintain that forum. So, for me, I had a real...

    Is this possible?

    OK, here is my situation: 1. I have a set of Logitech z-560’s. I replaced the satellites with some Ebay purchased Klipsch’s 5.1 satellites. I also have one of the original z-560 satellites connected to an old Dell/HK 2-way speaker to give me a “cheap” 5.1 setup. It works… 2. My OS is...

    Conroe CPU Waterblock?

    Well, my MB died in my Northwood setup a couple of days ago. Won't post at all. Bummer! The good news is now I'm in the market to upgrade. Good, except for the timing. I had planned on upgrading to Conroe later this year, once the initial Conroe launch "dust" had settled down a bit...
