I've had the Sennheiser HD 555 for many years, and I just got the Audio Technica M50x about a month or 2 ago, so I'll compare the 2. The 555 have decent sound quality, and they are open ear, so they will not block out noise. The build quality is horrendous though; everyone I know who had them...

I think your math is a little off. 3 21:9 monitors stacked vertically is 21:27, which would be quite a bit taller than it is wide. You only took into account 2 monitors.

The sequential speed isn't why you get an SSD, the random R/W performance is. If you really do need more space than an SSD + HDD would give you, go for the RAID 0 HDDs, but an SSD + HDD will give you a much better experience even in simple use cases, plus it should be more reliable than RAID 0.

I know it's a bit out of your price range at $220, but this is probably the best combo device out there. It has a ton of features, including all the latest networking technology.

I know in the BIOS settings in my HP laptop there is an option to change their main function. You could try looking there.

I believe MHL requires that the power has to be plugged in. Did she plug the charger into the MHL adapter?

The Nexus 7 can definitely handle Skype no problem.

What about the Nexus 7? Starts at $199 and you get the full tablet experience. Much faster than the Transformer. Only downside is a smaller screen (although that can also be considered an upside).

Mini-ITX and micro-ATX are not the same. ITX is much smaller. The board you are talking about is Micro-ATX, so that is why he is saying they don't sell ITX yet.

While it isn't the easiest thing to do, it is possible to back up an Android device without root using adb http://www.howtogeek.com/125375/how-to-create-a-full-android-phone-or-tablet-backup-without-rooting-or-unlocking-your-device/

The VGA to DVI converter came with your video card, not the monitor. The monitor requires a dual-link DVI cable in order to run at the native resolution because of the higher bandwidth required. A regular DVI cable would most likely limit it to run at 1/4 the resolution (1280x720).

I'd also look at lift-top coffee tables. Normal coffee table when not in use, and many even have space to store the keyboard and mouse underneath. An example: http://www.coffeetablesgalore.com/coffee-tables/rectangle/cherrylifttopcoffee.cfm

The Camera Connection Kit + sync cable should work.

While I don't know the answer to your question, just because you don't have TRIM does not mean the SSD will be "trashed" in a few months. Most SSDs have some sort of garbage collection that will keep the performance at a maximum whether TRIM is present or not. While TRIM is nice to have, it is...

I sent you a PM

It only has what you need for XBMC. It boots directly into XBMC, so no desktop is included. But since it is based on Ubuntu, you can easily install anything you want to, including a full desktop.

Do you have a Microsoft Store or Sony Store anywhere nearby? They should both have that model on display.

I think you will be fine with the 550 since you already have it. It will take longer with the i3 than with a faster quad core, but with 1156 being a last gen socket, I don't think it would be worth it to upgrade the CPU unless you decide to move to Sandy Bridge, which would require a new...

If you only use it for XBMC, try out XBMC Live. It is based on a slimmed down Ubuntu Linux installation and it supports hardware acceleration. I'm not sure if the Windows version of XBMC supports hardware acceleration.

That build would be just fine for what you want to do. If you do decide to go with Intel, this motherboard also has a remote.

My girlfriend and her sister both have the Vizio sound bar without the sub. It was on sale for $55 refurbished about 2 weeks ago (may still be on sale, check slickdeals.net). I don't think you will find one cheaper than that. They are both extremely happy with it. It is a huge upgrade from the...

He will be recording OTA, which is digital, so very minimal CPU load.

The Fractal Design Array R2 is another case to look at. Mini-ITX, 6 hard drives, and included 300W 80Plus PSU. It is a much more minimal looking case.

This Sony from Newegg is $160

If you do a lot of Excel work, the higher resolution of the 27" Cinema Display is incredible. Once you get used to having it, it definitely won't feel too big. And it should be big enough for watching videos from the bed without the need to buy a TV. I definitely think it would be a great...

The Mac Mini doesn't support 3D. I have the Antec ISK 310-150 and it is one of the smaller cases with an internal power supply that supports your card. This ASUS board looks like a good motherboard at a decent price.

I think it is closer to the non HC

http://www.danhinsley.com/metax/metax.html MetaX is for Windows as well.

ASUS BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS WINTEC AMPX 4GB DDR3 1333 SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM You can save about $80 going with those. The optical drive reads Blu-rays and reads/writes DVDs. The 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM is way overkill, even for the price. And the hard drive is $25 cheaper for an equal...

You are forgetting about power consumption. That is very important to a lot of people. The power consumption will hopefully be a lot lower than the discrete solutions.

Definitely AMD. It is the most up-to-date one.

Electronics have defects. Don't get your panties in a wad. Just RMA it and everything will be fine.

Just a recommendation, I recommend saving enough money until you can purchase everything at once. Stuff usually gets cheaper over time, so in the end you could build it for cheaper and still have it completed at the same time.

AFAIK the onboard video doesn't support dual-link DVI, so you will not get your full resolution from it, so either stick your 7600 in there or get a new card that supports CUDA acceleration.

You can install and run XBMC on the new AppleTV ($99) and just use the remote or a Harmony remote, and with a micro USB to USB host adapter you can attach your external to it.

I always recommend a clean install unless it came with one. Window 7 Starter Edition has a lot of limits on it and does not perform any faster other than removing aero, which can be turned off with any edition if it is too much.

I can confirm that apps purchased on a tablet will be saved to your account and be downloadable on the phone. The only thing I don't think would transfer are tablet only apps.

The ISK 300-65 will be enough for the Zacate + HDD + ODD. If you want smaller and don't need an optical drive, this Habey is pretty tiny.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot it comes with a second drive cage. If the bottom drive cage is removed, there will be plenty of space, but I don't think it will fit with the drive cage installed.
