Woo! Don't ride the metro, it stinks!

foobar is great for large music collections, it won't be as pretty as mediaportal, but with the recently improved media library, facets ui, and search features, it is pretty easy to find the song you want in a large collection. You might want to do some searching in their forums too as there...

To keep the file size down further, with AutoGK you can compress the audio into VBR MP3 format as well (instead of AC3 which is bigger). You'd lose any 5.1 / Dolby related things but still have quality sound.

Just wanted to say I've really enjoyed each video review you've put out so far - they're very informative and interesting to watch. They really give an interesting perspective on the evaluations that the articles might not portray (ie: physical size, use, commentary, "observing tests"). Some...

Good call on the DS2H, I'll definitely go for that instead. And thanks for the advice on the NSK2480 - I'll definitely choose that based on the cheaper fans likely being ran at high speed 24/7. Gotta love the [H].

Here was the case I was thinking of: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=23679&vpn=DM-317&manufacture=Apex%20Computer%20Technology It comes with a crap 280 watt power supply. But for $48 CDN, its hard to pass up. Would I be running a serious sound risk if I went with that over...

Pretty much the exact same build I'm going to be doing except I'm going for a much cheaper case, less hard drive capacity and a blu ray drive instead. Ulrezaj, so you can use the scythe mini ninja as a fanless cooling solution for the 4850e?

Man, I am having the same problem! Wife hates the HTPC idea.

I successfully use it with a 790FX DS5 motherboard and 5000+ BE CPU. Its stable and reliable in its current state.

Yeah you're right. Immediately thought it supported up to 1066 and equated it to a requirement. Anyways, don't factor that in a ram upgrade then!

I have the 5000+ BE right now and am pretty happy with it. One thing to keep in mind, you'd probably have to upgrade your RAM as well since the Phenom is 1066. So you should factor that cost in as well.

I figured out my fluctuating frequency problem, just a simple bios setting for automatically underclocking my CPU when its not being used to save power / heat. I have zero problems adjusting my multiplier on the DS-5 board. I can adjust it manually through the BIOS and also successfully...

I went with the Gigabyte 790FX DS5 board last night with a 5000+ black edition. Just got it all setup and installed last night, pretty painless process. The massive Scythe cooler took a tiny bit of tinkering to get installed but it worked out well and fits great on the board. One strange...

Right on, thanks.

What kind of CPU cooler are you running? I've got a 5000+ B/E with a Scythe Infinity cooler here...waiting for my Gigabyte 790X DS4 to arrive, but considering switching to a 790FX. I'm worried those heatpipes would get in the way of this enormous cooler though. Any thoughts?

Staples has friggin 8800 GT's? Yeesh, they don't even know what the hell they are selling. It'd be funny if you did a price/performance in any game for the 8800GT and 7300GT....it'd be ridiculous.

Thats brutal! I just bought mine from NCIX this week for $270 CAD on their black friday sale. Sweet price!.

Hey, through some Black Friday savings last night I purchased the following (ended up saving $193 buying online through these deals vs. buying locally at my computer store!): BFG 8800 GT OC2 AMD 5000+ Black Edition Scythe Infinity 5 Cooler WD 500GB 7200rpm HD Corsair 620HX PSU Now, I...

Yeah, honestly, keeping a fair budget in mind this seems like the best way to go. Not only do you get a solid platform for future upgradability, but you can have a hell of a lot of fun overclocking the 5000+ B/E. I'm 95% going this route myself.

Hahaha, thats hilarious.

I have to agree with you there. If they're not simply generating enough cash from the sale of their phenom processors and spider platform to generate enough investment in R&D, then they are going to continually fall behind. And no doubt, AMD is looking like a very attractive turn-around...

Its probably primarly that graphics card you are currently running. But, if people with similar specs are still getting better performance, maybe you have software issues? Such as, an excessive number of background programs running? Different Crysis settings? Untweaked operating system? Visual...

With Spider released today to much dissappointment (and one article I read even questioning the viability of AMD going forward), I had to share this information with you all: AMD's stock is down 41% so far during 2007 and the company is currently with $6.7 billion. Compare that to Intel...

Synergies between the brands ie: the Spider platform. Being able to sell a complete "Ultimate Visual Experience" as they call it. That way, they can launch complete platforms consisting of mobo, cpu, and vcard without having to work with a third party partner. Its all internal, and its supposed...

i wasn't that dissappointed with the Phenom performance. It looks to be good value for the performance and price you're getting; the highest end intel processors cost 5x as much. So while we haven't seen AMD take the performance crown back today, its good to see a strong push with a good value...

I'd rather wait for the D9E then jump on the G92 parts. I'm rockin an X800 Pro right now and was planning to do a complete system update in January 08 - I'll upgrade with high end parts for sure.

1. Finally upgrade from my Athlon XP 2600+ and start playing TF2 at an average framerate that is better than my current 10-15. 2. Phenom
