    Hardware Poll as of March 2010

    Just upgraded to an i7 and Radeon 5870 this weekend. Bad Company 2 needed the upgrade. Big improvement over an e6400 and 8800 GTS. 4x AA is so much nicer than no AA. Plus everything else is a bit more responsive in day-to-day use as well. Overall, worth the upgrade.

    Can I run (2) 5770's in CF, and Run 2 Monitors?

    If you hooked up the two monitors to two separate cards, not in Crossfire, wouldn't that each card accelerate each display separately? Which would give more performance than a single card running both displays.

    I use metabrowser for all of my video. It works great with TV shows and movies. It does depend heavily on folder naming, so be sure to get that right. This getting started guide has a good overview of how to label your folders so it picks up everything. Getting Started

    How do you select a game server?

    I usually sort by ping first. Then start looking at the maps. Also, if its a HL2 variant I look for a server running stats of some sort.

    Highly recommend the Canon options. Image stabilizer is fantastic. Have a few point and shoot Canons and multiple professional grade Canons (1d currently in use) and have been very impressed with all of them.

    Which 1.5TB drive to get for data backup?

    I've been very impressed with my WD 640 Green. Not exactly the same, but close. And a quick glance over newegg shows some of the lower ratings are due to the slower speeds of the drive, not really a huge deal in a backup drive.

    Hackintosh HTPC Hardware suggestion

    OSX is a great os, I love my macbook. But it's such a premium to a lot of the other offerings concerning HTPC usage. It's hard to justify the extra money expense, or difficulties with a hackintosh, when a linux machine can do it just as well. If you really want to stick with OSX, just try...

    Cheapest PC to watch streaming video online(wireless) on TV via HDMI?

    There really is no substitute for a HTPC. Some of the dedicated solutions such as the Popcorn Hour offer more convenience and ease of setup, but you have so many more options with a dedicated HTPC, especially when they're relatively easy to build for under $300. I would recommend just building...

    Going to Upgrade, Will Current PSU be Enough?

    Agreed. And on the graphics card question, [H] just did a review of the Radeon 4770. Lots of good info there. With the Radeon you have the advantage of a smaller die so it will use less power and create less heat. But, as you said, you have the advantage of a possible SLI later on with the...

    Which mouse to buy? Logitech MX Revolution vs Logitech MX518

    Agree completely. I swear by my G7, and I'm an avid gamer. My scores in CoD/TF2/CS:S haven't been hurt by the wireless. G7 is nice with the two battery packs, one runs out just swap the other in.

    Blu ray software

    You could also rip the bluray with Anydyd. Then you could play the actual files themselves with Media player classic or convert to a more friendly format. Downside is you dont get the menu, but you don't need the disc to watch. Just another option.

    Gateway to HTPC?

    That passive card works great. Just got one myself and stuck it in my server/htpc. Works well with Media Player Classic HC offloading to the GPU. Might as well give it a shot. That P4 definitely wont play 1080 by itself, but should be ok if you offload to the gpu. Also, if you want to go...
