Unfortunately, I don't have another M2 drive that I can test. I do have another motherboard that I can try it in, so I'll give that a go. I'll start the RMA process in the interim, it seems like my best option at this point.

I stayed up way too late last night banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out and following every bit of advice that I could from increasingly less-related google searches... I just (mostly) completed a build for my parents, and it includes an Asus Prime z370-a motherboard and...

I bought a Denon AVR-x4200w last week and got everything hooked up. I am very satisfied. Thanks for the help. I've got my family room wired up with 5.1 surround and the pair of speakers over my back deck/patio set up as zone 2. It worked great for a neighborhood get-together/cookout that I...

I decided that I can't ignore my [H] nature, and I'm pulling the trigger on a x4200w. Thanks for the help everyone.

That helps, thanks. Since I currently have no sub and only plan to get 1, I'll probably be fine with the regular MultiEQ room correction. Honestly, the 910 is probably more than I need still, since I will most likely only scratch the surface of the features. The computer enthusiast in me is...

Yeah, I found that thread, and it's a great comparison of the different models. You're right about the warranty difference (2 and 3 years). The 910 has Audyssey MultEQ, and the 4200 comes with Audyssey MultEQ XT32. I honestly don't have the greatest quality speakers, so I don't know if it's...

What are your thoughts on the S line? It seems like the AVR-S910W has just about everything that I need. I don't foresee myself needing the power of the X4200W.

Thanks. This is definitely not a sector in the market or brand that I have any experience with, so I appreciate your insight.

Thanks, that's some great information. I don't think that the speakers were wired by the builder (house was built in '86/'87 and the speakers/mounts are all newer than that). I'm not good at telling at a glance, but I think they're 12 guage wires. The best part of the whole set up is that the...

I thought that "party mode" was just the receiver sending the same source to all zones (not sending coordinating multiple receivers), at least that's the way Yamaha's version of "party mode" is described. Regardless, I don't really need my basement speakers to be synced up with my family room...

I don't think that I'd get a full surround receiver for the basement, since those speakers are placed to provide coverage of the whole oddly-shaped space; however, the ability to network multiple receivers is intriguing. I didn't even know that was an option.

I don't have much experience with audio. I had a set of 2.1 computer speakers in college, and then lived in a series of places that kept me from cutting loose with the audio (apartments, historic town home, having a baby). About 2 years ago, we bought a home and the previous owners left nearly...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Well, that sucks. I purchased the brown box version of the 2255's (didn't come with WinTV). If WinTV has the feature that you're talking about, I saved more than $9.95 by going with the brown box (the cost of WinTV) so I'll still come out ahead. A part of me is opposed to dropping $10 on...

I'm using an amplified splitter. I know that the Hauppauge tuners are pretty sensitive to signal strength. The tuners in my server are coming through the same amplified splitter as my TV. Silicondust used to have a great QAM mapping site, but it is no longer available. I think it went...

Background: I've been working on setting up a whole-home dvr using WMC and a couple of Hauppauge 2250's on my Windows 7 server with an Asus Chromebox flashed with XBMC for a front-end. Currently, my TV (LG 60PN5700) is plugged directly into coax split from my cable modem through an amplified...

I recently cut ties with cable and stopped paying for a bundle of services. I now only pay for internet, and I use a VoIP service for my home phone and Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime for TV. I've been relatively satisfied with the streaming services for my TV consumption, since I didn't really...

It looks like a Sager np2650 (clevo w650sz) might fit the bill quite nicely... I've heard that Sager's build quality has gone down hill over the past 2-3 years... anyone have positive/negative feedback for their products?

I've been doing some research for laptops to replace my wife's very old work-issued laptop. Her company just implemented a reimbursement policy to avoid dealing with laptop inventory/servicing. They'll reimburse her for half of up to $3000, and she gets to keep it. The only constraint that...

Gold Casio calculator watch FTW!

AMD helps to push the competition buy releasing competitive products at (usually) reasonable prices. They've kept Intel and Nvidia products from stagnating in features and skyrocketting in price.

thank you!

^ This would be great.

If you're going to do it, the types of people that will be buying this type of setup will not care about cost. Do a "best that money can buy" vs a "best that money can buy" test. 4 top end AMD vs 4 top end nvidia (3gb)

I'm impressed by the quick turn-around from SSD Solutions... I used standard shipping (got an estimated delivery of 12-20 May from Amazon), and within 3 hours I had a shipping confirmation from SSD Solutions. It should be here by Monday (Tuesday at the latest). I'm always a little wary of...

I tempted myself into buying one. Write speeds are significantly faster on the 256gb version. Came down to a decision between 1 256gb drive or 2 128gb drives in RAID. Speed vs TRIM. As soon as I found a 256gb for less than the 2 128gb's, I was sold.

Amazon.com has the 256gb c300 for $375 if you get it from SSD Solutions (great feedback). Faster and twice the capacity for less than double the newegg sale price of the 128gb version.

I like the large fan and smaller form-factor.

I like that most of XFX's products don't have ridiculous anime or cgi girls all over them...

ugh... seriously? I didn't think that anyone still believed this crap... "Oh no! An under-staffed, over-tasked 'evil' agency is listening to me talk to my [insert uninteresting family member/friend here] about [equally uninteresting topic or illegal activity that does not fall under their...

Thanks, I was doing some light searching (while at work) and just couldn't seem to find anything about it. Much appreciated.

What's the difference between the RV02B-W and the RV02B-EW? The "B" is the color, and the "W" is the window...

Muffin loves Antec... She can rest easily knowing her i7 will be cool...

it's in there... just broken in half to fit...

any thoughts on this vs the hitachi 5k3000's?

not sure if I'm up to that big of a task, but it is definitely an idea...

Does anyone have any recommendations on a mouse that has a "quiet" click? I can hear my Razer click from another room, and I know that any late-night gaming must drive my wife crazy... so I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into a quieter mouse. Optical/laser, doesn't need to be ultra...

normal drivel...

Anyone have some insight? Can a 419P+ be backed up online with one of those "cloud" back-up services? ...and if so, any recommendations on a good service?
