Just upgraded my center channel

Everything is driven through an Onkyo RC-160 receiver. It took some time to dial in the EQ just right, but those altecs have a very movie theater-like presentation of sound (they were theater speakers...). The center is an upgraded yamaha S112iv PA speaker. The screen is 80" diagonal. I...

I almost didn't notice the cat- Just got a new projector screen. It's a step up from the white photo backdrop paper I was using previously. Sorry for the dark pic

I received all the parts except for the case... I connected everything and had openelec loaded all in under 30 minutes... It plays even my largest 1080p files without a hiccup. The cpu fan is a bit loud though...I've ordered a scythe mini kaze to replace the stock one. So far I'm happy...

I had to order the parts last night so stuff would arrive in time to have it set up by christmas. I changed the case from the hec to an antec isk300. What exactly eats up the hard drive space? This computer will stream netflix and tv/movies off the network only...

I want to build an HTPC so I can stream TV shows/movies from my computer to our home theater but I'm not sure what hardware and software I want to use. It should fit the following criteria: -$300 budget -Case should be horizontal and black -Motherboard/CPU/IGP needs to handle 1080p playback...

Sorry...responded. I've been out of town for a while. I replaced a bad capacitor on the motherboard and tested ESR on all through-hole caps...everything is good!

Milkdrop on the projector, Shpongle through the horns.

Nice old Heathkit gear. I wish they were still around... I have the AA-1 audio analyzer and TC-2 tester, but I want something that will more effectively test transconductance and leakage...like a nice Hickok or something...

I wanted to share a simple way of getting the mac-like throbbing LED that works on any computer, all it takes is an electrolytic capacitor and a diode. Place a diode between the motherboard header positive and capacitor positive terminal, with the band towards the capacitor side, then...

Altec made some fine speakers back in the day. I was poised to get three more a guy had out on craigslist so I could go 5 channel, but I wasn't fast enough. I didn't have room for them anyway :p

I use it all the time.

Memory is sold. Here's crystaldiskinfo on the drives:

Legacy USB was enabled and the option to allow the device to wake the computer was greyed out. I had it plugged into the USB 2.0 ports designated for the mouse and keyboard but I tried moving to different ports (the ones next to the PS/2 connector) and now it works. Strange.

I recently upgraded so I no longer need these parts... QX6700 with lapped IHS (no cooler) - SOLD EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 680i SLI (includes accessories) - $65 + shipping 4x2GB G.Skill DDR2 800 F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ - SOLD 2x WD Velociraptor 150GB - $25 ea + shipping

I put together a new computer with an Asus P8Z77-V Pro and I'm having trouble figuring out how to set it up to wake from sleep using my usb keyboard (G15 gen 1). Currently I must use the power switch on my computer, which isn't a big deal but it's not as convenient. Any ideas?

Very slick build. What wallpaper is that?

Just DTS Connect to my Onkyo HT-RC160...It's a nice sounding unit, and I'm pretty impressed with the audyssey calibration system.

They are Altec Lansing A7's... Basically big movie theater speakers from the 1960's...The center is a Yamaha PA speaker

Hi all, hopefully you guys can help me out with an issue: I have a P8Z77-V Pro with the latest bios (ver 2003) and I'm having trouble getting it to wake from sleep using my keyboard. Is there a configuration option I'm just not seeing? I have a G15 (1st gen) plugged into the usb2.0 ports on...

The builds I'm seeing on this thread look amazing. I recently upgraded my mobo/cpu/ram and hdd. My current specs are Lian Li PC-V1100B with usb 3.0 retrofit PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 (before OCZ bought them) Intel i5-3570K ES Asus P8Z77-V Pro 8GB Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600 CL 9...

Are there currently any budget-minded keyboards (under $75) that have a built in USB3.0 hub? The only one I've found is the gigabyte osmium but it's a little more than I want to spend.

I bought an LGA 1155 pro-mount from D-Tek so I could use my old fuzion block with my new 3570k upgrade. The problem is, there are threaded barrels on the backplate that are supposed to pass through the cpu cooler mounting holes, and they don't fit in the holes on my motherboard. I had some...

The desk is from Scan Design.

I'll get a proper screen someday...

I want to buy an i5-3570k, preferably without the heatsink/fan. Let me know if you can help me out. Thanks

I want to build an HTPC that will play my 1080p .mkv's off my networked drives without exceeding my budget of $300. What are some motherboard/cpu's I should consider?

I'll go with the CL9 then. Thanks

I'm putting together a new computer with an i5-3570K and an Asus P8Z77-V Pro. I've narrowed my choice of memory down to two models: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231445 Both are identical...
