Thanks for your replies. I will contact them. I asked here because I initially contacted performance-pcs twice and they never even bothered replying.

Hello, I need a sata power cable for a specific need. It's for a Bryston BDP-3 digital player. Essentially, I need this : floppy power connector ---> 4 in. ---> floppy power connector ---> 8 inches ---> sata power connector I need the sata data cable to be separated from the power one. No...

Hi there, I am looking for a socket 775 CPU for a HTPC build. I would like to get the best CPU for 50$ (non CC paypal) shipped to Canada. Something in the line of Q6600, E6850 or E8400 would be very fine, but will consider all offers. I only need the bare CPU so shipping rates are going to be...

The volume button on my 880 died, for the reason cited above I guess. I finally replaced with Harmony One. Way much better and easier to use. Also, the button are far more easier to see in the dark as they are clear white instead of dim blue as on the 880. I do not regret at all my move.

sent you a PM regarding the corsair 6400C4 ram. Serge

Same here

You are right for sure. But I am tempted by those 4+ GHz overclock and i usually like to upgrade while my stuff still worths something to alleviate the move.

It always comes down on how much you are willing to pay for that. Then you have to compare with a current setup. The two advantages of going your route is save the headaches of a new build and save some money. As others pointed out, go with a used CPU; it is worthless to buy a brand new for your...

Hey, I am thinking about moving to a i7 2600K with a P67 based motherboard. Since they are SATA III, I am tempted at the same time to upgrade the SSD. I wonder what should I expect aside the larger size, in term of performance. Since my X25-M still worths something, I would alleviate the...

Ebay..

Eh thanks. Looks like that if I upgrade now it will be safe still for a while. What should we expect from LGA2011 in term of performance?

Hey, I am looking to replace my i7 860 with a i7 2600K. The later one has been out for a good while now and still at the same price. Upgrading now wouldm't make sense but I would like to know what is ahead of us in short term. New CPUs, platform, price cuts? Thanks, Serge

Very nice setup. I have my dedicated room but it is like the '80s trend bar... i have other project I must complete first but I am eager to build a real dedicated home cinema.

Yes, it really helps me. Thanks!. It is the 1/8" jack at the back of the hauppauge card. It works well, but limited a bit. In fact, my sister suffers from "fybromialgy".. Not sure about exact word in english. Basically, she cannot move her arms much, it is like "gripped" if you wish. I...

Hi, I built a HTPC for my sister a while ago and although she has the bundled remote that came with the Hauppauge HVR-2250, she cannot use it the way she want to. In fact, she needs a remote with a "knob" that she could use to move the pointer just like a regular mouse. She has mobility...

Also, I am willing to drill the face plate of the case to add a receiver. This is another option. Serge

Hey crimand, thanks for the suggestion. I didn't consider/know that I could mount it inside. I am just curious but how would you do that? I looked for infrared receivers on performance-pcs but I found nothing that could connect to the USB adapters you shown me. Thanks bencorn for the Antec...

Hello, Since my beautiful Silverstone CW-03B was ruined in transit (Thanks DHL...), i have to buy another HTPC case. I no longer want to spend that much on a case and the LCD, although it was cool, was more a gadget than being really useful. I am considering either the Lian Li C60B or the...

Ahaha, yeah, those were the days. I remember i paid almost 500$ for these two cards. This was with a Pentium II 300 "SL2W8" overclocked to 450 Mhz. This sounds little but considering that the 450 MHz was three times more expensive as the 300 MHz, I was soooo proud of that setup hehe

Hello, I have somewhat of a big problem and hope someone will have some insight.. Here is the story: I have a D-Link DNS-323 drive enclosure with a 1 TG seagate drive. I have about 600 GB of backups. Now, what happened is that I was streaming a movie over the wireless network; it has...

My understanding is that ATI and NVIDIA must put bottom level requirements to be safe since most people, say about 97%, buy only "numbers".. Most people just don't see the difference in a good and shitty power supply. They only care of numbers, so card manufacturers have to take this into...

They are out of stock everywhere? Is there something wrong, or is it just ATI which is about to release something new I am not aware :confused: I wish to buy one but so complicated... Para

You rip Blu-ray? How much space it takes on average?

Thank you very much dude! I tried My Movies first and altough it works fine, I find it a bit complicated for what I want to do. Then I tried the vista hack and after an hour of fiddling, everything works very fine. I find this strange however that you have to "hack" VMC to do what you want do...

Ok, here is an easy one for you HTPC gurus. As stated in another thread, I've ripped my collection of DVD with DVD Decrypter so the entire content of the DVD is stored on my HDD. With WinDVD, I browse the folder where the DVD is stored and click run from a folder but I am not able to do this is...

I did. The only thing it does is that my DVD is getting the letter assigned instead of the HDD :confused:

Thanks for your input. Well, I fiddled a bit with Data Recovery Wizard and I've been able to recover some of my datas but the problem is that I cannot convert the partition from RAW to NTFS so the only way to get my stuff back is to recover all my datas, put it on another temporary drive, format...

Adaptec? I don't recall I have an adaptec device :confused: I'm using the SATA ports on my P5Q Pro which is the ICH10 SB. Actual system is in sig BTW

Well, I guess I haven't read your tough about V64.. I have not yet registered it so I guess I could sell it. BTW, is it normal that Vista swaps badly on the HDD, it is very annoying... I have tried to swap the letter to "J" and it did nothing. I have noticed however that the file system is...

Hello, I've installed Vista 64 on my HTPC last week and to my astonishment, I can no longer access to my TB HDD where I store all my ripped DVD, mp3, pictures, etc. In device manager, I see that the drive works but I cannot see it in explorer. All my stuff have been stored for a while and I...

Thanks for the link. Ultimately, I wish to wire the whole house but to be able to do that, I'll have to open up all the ceilings so I am waiting to renovate the basement before doing that. I'll look into that thread, that should occupy me a while. Serge

Hello all, I've been away from the enthusiast/gaming PC scene lately and I've built my first HTPC in the meantime. So, I now wish to have that HTPC in my living room (duh..) but my cable modem is in the basement. So, I thought that a wireless router and a wireless card would do the trick. But...

Okay, we had a thunder storm 2 weeks ago and power went off. My computer is always idling but unfortunately, it never went back after the shut off. My motherboard is dead.. :rolleyes: Well, I no longer game anymore (or rarely) so I decided to salvage most of the parts of my gaming rig and...
