This is a long shot but does anyone know if this works with the controller plugged into the host machine and not the steamlink itself? I have 360 wireless controllers on my pc right now. It's in a central enough location in the basement that they work fine within proximity of my tv's. It'd be...

Apple Lossless is really a stretch due to it's proprietary nature. I doubt any standalone player supports it. FLAC cd/dvd's were supported on a couple of flagship models of Bluray players. One that comes to mind is the the Oppo line...

Isn't that the point of plex? It re-encodes on the fly so you don't have to worry about codec compatibility.

Thanks, in for one. I noticed the Q701 also mentioned earlier on in this thread are a similar discount on amazon (65%) making them only ~70 more. Would anyone be able to put into laymen(non-audiophile) terms what the difference is if any? Or whether or not they are worth the extra $? I did find...

Because at some point all of these drives supposedly had issues and were returned to Crucial. Are they fixed and properly working now? To the extent that Crucials testing methodology says so. What if the user was having a legitimate intermittent issue and Crucial wasn't able to replicate it so...

Deal is back. Bumping this back up if you missed out the first time: http://slickdeals.net/f/8040075-alienware-alpha-compact-desktop-core-i3-4130t-500gb-hdd-4gb-ddr3-customized-gtx-860-xbox-360-controller-349-99-after-rebate-with-free-shipping URL slightly misleading as a change in the rebate...

Running 2 "recertified" drives in raid 0? You're a braver man than I.

I don't doubt that is a possibility. In fact it's probably pretty likely. But as I said at this point the "how" is irrelevant. The refurb process is typically such that the unit will ultimately pass a battery of tests that someone somewhere has deemed a good enough indication that the unit is...

I used to work in electronics repair and saw this stuff all the time. I mean this with respect and in a non-accusatory tone: that didn't come from the factory that way and it didn't happen by itself. So at this point the "how" is irrelevant. The fact is that it "is" and they don't have any...

If you're just using it for music in the car you'd probably be better off with one of these http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Turbo-128GB-Flash-Drive/dp/B00FE2N1WS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1436184145&sr=1-1&keywords=128gb+flash

Yes. I think just about any 2.5" these days will work on a single usb connection. I use an 840pro with a cheapo $10 usb3 enclosure as an external at work.

I'm in need of a new pair(s) for work. I've never spent more than 100 on a pair. Having never heard of Cole Haan before, are these worth the normal price quality wise? I typically wear out a pair of dress shoes in 3-4 months. Don't mind paying a little more for something that can last a little...

Was this to fix internet signal issues by chance? I just moved into a new house and had to bypass all but one splitter to get internet signal successfully. It's still a little flakey with my known good (non-leased) hardware. I noticed there is an Arcom fbr-2/78 installed on the incoming line...

Per slickdeals it's: $59 - $498 = 40% >$499 = 50%

We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered has already expired or has reached the maximum redemption limit. Edit: NVM, my fault. I had somehow landed on the Dell Outlet store.

Looking at this post I seem to recall having the exact same issue with my firetv (not stick) about a year ago. Unfortunately I don't recall what fixed it. Theres been several software updates, including a whole new Netflix app, since then and I've changed my network around a few times so I'm not...

I am getting more and more tempted to pick one of these up. If anyone missed this deal and don't mind a refurb (which I suspect is just fine), woot has them for $399. You can also double the ram and hard drive for an extra $40. http://computers.woot.com/plus/alienware-alpha-gaming-consoles

I'm not arguing that the movie itself was not succesfull, but that the tech used in filming (double frame rate to 48fps) was not well received. http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/2012/12/19/the-hobbit-an-unexpected-masterclass-in-why-hfr-fails-and-a-reaffirmation-of-what-makes-cinema-magical/...

I think you would find yourself in the minority. Search for info about HFR movies (like The Hobbit). The tech wasn't very well received. I really wanted to pull the trigger on the Alienware due to size/efficiency but I'm going to wait a bit and see if it comes down any lower this summer. I am...

I'm not sure why a media box is out of the question. Your requirement was "I basically just need the damn thing to put a pretty picture on the screen" in relation to streaming files from a network drive which is exactly what the WD does for a fraction of the price, power, and space as a full...

You're going way overkill on the price and specs then. With those 2 requirements, you could easily get away with one of these: http://www.amazon.com/WD-TV-Media-Player-WDBYMN0000NBK-HESN/dp/B00JXFM75Y If it has to be a PC, then something like this...

USB 1 will be perfectly fine for peripherals. Just don't use for it storage or a webcam or anything data intensive. That hub will work fine too. A little bit of overkill being that it's USB3 but I didn't see a powered USB 2 for really any cheaper and amazon makes good stuff. You said...

Ah, I see... makes sense now. I've never used one but AFAIK they're fairly reliable for simple peripherals. Use cat6 cable if you can. Should be fine for m/k or controller. Will probably need a powered hub if you're trying to run all 3 at the same time. They do make powered usb 2 extenders but...

Use one of these: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030313&p_id=6042&seq=1&format=2 What does plugging your computer into the USB port of your tv do?

This is really interesting. I'm afraid I can't do anything to help right now because I'm moving soon but I was interested in doing something similar when I get settled in and fix up my basement. Looking at that processing script, I feel like I could cut through alot of the overhead and write...

I got really excited when I first saw it but that quickly wore off. I think this thing is a few years too late to the htpc market. It doesn't really offer much over the ubiquitous and cheaper streaming boxes available today (firetv/android tv/etc) that are specific to media consumption. I'm sure...

With the exception of the days of dial-up, I've never had an ISP give me anything close to 1:1 up/down speeds. In fact right now I believe I'm 20:1. Trying to tunnel traffic through home would be a nightmare. Plus $6/year is less than the cost of electricity to keep a computer running 24/7 from...

I just picked up one of these. What is your HDD mounting situation like? I've got 1x3.5 and 1x2.5. My CM212 blocks the hard drive tray that hovers over the PCI area. I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't involve cutting into the case or having to use velcros. Also, just a fair warning...

You didn't really specify what the problem is but I'll guess that it has to do with file names. My TV library was a bit of a mess when I started. I used a standalone program called 'The Renamer' and even then it did require some manual renaming on my end of a few shows, but everything works...

There is a "community patch" that will allow you to play without it. Running off any sound cards line in or mic ports isn't quite optimal due to mismatch of impedance. If you're going to patch it, at least run through a good audio interface with actual guitar input like maudio, etc... For...

I was looking at this. My main issue is that 2 x 240's are not only cheaper but faster :confused: I've got the 120 and love it. I'm going to wait and see if the price on the 480 can't creep down a little lower early next year.

Best I can say is I don't think the mixup was intentional. 81/85 is a *very* popular pickup and he may of typed that up just not thinking. The other possibility is, and I don't know this Frank Lombardi at all, but some "legends" attain that status by mastering the skills and not necessarily the...

Most guitar mfg's split their models down the middle with the higher end stuff being built here in the states and their budget stuff (cheaper wood, finish, hardware, etc...) made in korea/china/etc... The US made custom shop likely came stock with EMG's, the korean likely had the DMT's. Look...

These are definitely NOT 81/85's. * All 81/85's have a cover with EMG stamped on it, there is no distinction between factory and aftermarket ones. I own a Korean made Dean Deceiver and it has factory installed 81/85's (http://www.deanguitars.com/img/dec_satin.jpg). * 81/85's are blade style...

S2340 in action. I'm not a pro photographer by any means but I tried to get the pics exposed to what you would see in person. For some reason this resulted in weird vertical dark bands in some of the colors. I could get rid of them with a few changes, but then the pics didn't look as accurate...

I picked up the S2340M today. Obviously a budget monitor but, in my mind, a step up from my 2407wfp. I was getting tired of the matte display. Color saturation is great, blacks are amazing, reflection is not bad at all. Images look like they are sitting right on top of the glass. Whereas I work...

I have a plasma. Been gaming on it for 3 years. No burn in.

Carputer sounds like an awful lot of work just to accomplish this. Perhaps air stash would work for you as a wireless flash drive? I've never actually used one though. http://www.amazon.com/Maxell-AirStash-Expandable-Capacity-Wireless/dp/B006473T92 Seems like it would be just about as easy...

Seems like you'd be blocking a big chunk of air though :confused:

It really is nice. I wish yamaha sold the silver ones over here in the US. You would need something with a pre-out if you wanted to connect it it a better amp later on. The only low cost yamaha integrated that has that is the R-S700. My advice, buy an integrated now (doesn't necessarily have to...
