Hi everyone! Been a really long time since I've posted anything here but I'm looking to build a new htpc and I need the [H] stamp of approval before I buy. So, I think it will primarily be used for streaming shows, etc. from the internet at first but there may be a few upgrades I'm interested in...

Couple of questions, searched but didn't really find the answer. First, how long did it take for ASUS to send you a new fan. I contacted them two weeks ago with all my information and I haven't gotten anything yet. The fan finally died yesterday so 2 weeks of planning ahead just wasn't long...

So I just got my new drive. Is there any way I can move my OS over to the new drive without paying for something like Norton Ghost. I'd like to know how to do this ASAP. I actually copied all the files from c: to the new drive but it won't boot. Freaking partition magic won't let me make a...

This is warm I guess. But after the 10% coupon you can find easily enough on the web, the PS can be had for $80.09 shipped free at buy.com.

So I'm looking at trashing this old 15k rpm scsi drive I have because it is just too loud, too hot, and, most of all, too freaking small. A 17GB application drive just isn't cutting it anymore. So, I was thinking of replacing it with a 400GB WD sata server drive. At least, this change would...

So 6800gt + purevideo (1.02-...) = no? I'm having some issues with stuck playback.

This thread is for all those that currently have 939 single core chips with motherboards that support the X2. I currently have a winchester 3200+ and I bought it with the idea in mind that it would be a nice upgrade to just replace the processor and go dual core. But, I'm not too sure on when...

Ok, I need help deciding on a TV to get for my new apartment because I am thoroughly incapable of making the decision on my own. The 20" tv I have now just isn't cutting it because the couch will be at least 10' away from it when it arrives. Also while watching tv standing in the kitchen it's...

Check out this article. The lawyer from Florida is a complete retard. You could turn any game into a giant pornfest. We should probably not sell games to kids anymore. Choice Quotes: And

Here is the slashdot story. And you can send a message to your Senator. More political tricks, Hollywood is trying to sneak it past everyone :-( My Senator isn't on there so any help anyone else can give is appreciated.

Both have a $60 mail in rebate valid on drives purchased through the 25th. I'll check online now, I just got back from the store. Prices are before tax. [Edit] The 120GB is $5 cheaper than in store when ordered online. So it's $35 after MIR.

OK, so I'm looking for advice from Aria owners and modders in general. I'm thinking of putting an 80x80x25mm fan in the side. I'm thinking it would be best to put it in this side: On the right, above those motherboard wires. But, it might be better next to the RAM. Does anyone know if...

Can anyone reccommend a scanner? My brother is looking for one and he's interested in these so far: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16838111116 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16838110116...

Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 w/CD and License (ETA 05/10) $171.00 First palce I've seen it so far. It seems a little expensive but it doesn't say OEM so it might be cheaper elsewhere soon. Here's your chance to just on the bandwagon first!

Where can I find a root kit or something to send evil packets to my computer? I'm doing a project for my machine learning course on intrusion detection and I want to try and parse and test it on a few real packets.

Good ol' buy.com. Some love it, some hate it. Personally, I've never had any problems. But here it is, in stock $134.97: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10386574&loc=101&sp=1 minus $5 : http://www.buy.com/retail/coupon.asp?prid=85094736&dcaid=1688 Just about the...

I just bought an Aria and I'm going to use it as an htpc probably with all my old parts in it. After signing up for the credit card on Amazon the case was $65 shipped, if anyone's interested. Anyway, I need a socket A microATX motherboard and I wanted to spend about $30. I was looking at...

I just updated my computer and reformatted recently and now the picture quality when Sage is in fullscreen mode is terrible. It's really good when it's windowed when it's small but when I put it to fullscreen or increase the window size, contrasting lines of color tend to jump around and letter...

I got a 3200+ winchester and I'm a bit confused. At zipzoomfly and newegg it lists the voltage as 1.5v and at monarch its 1.4v. I'm pretty sure when I first started it up it was at 1.4. I'm just wondering what it should be running at. [edit]Nevermind, i guess it doesn't really matter. I can...

I just got a bunch of new crap including an a8n, 3200+ winchester, 6800 gt, and patriot 3200 w/xbl. My temps are currently about 33 for the case and 34 idle on the cpu climbing to near 40 load with my cnps-7000b at about half speed. This isn't really my issue though. I'm actually running...

Prices just fell over at monarch. The retail also fell at zipzoomfly today. This might not be hot but it's a pretty good price from a reliable store. This includes shipping.

I use an unattended boot CD to install windows with the Documents and Settings folder on the D: drive. I need to reformat at the end of the week because I have a bunch of new hardware. I was wondering if there is any way to change the name of the current Documents and Settings directory before...

I know I'm not allowed to post things like this in the hotdeals forum but I thought it would be alright here... Please deleted if not. Anyway, I'm about to buy a winchester 3200 and the best price I have right now is $207 retail at ZZF. OEM seems to have gone way up in recent weeks...

I just got some Patriot 3200 w/xbl and a pleasant surprise on the sticker says that it is rated at 2-2-2-5 @ ddr400 and 3-4-4-8 @ 533. I was just wondering if those are decent timings for ddr533. Also, do think I would be able to tighten them up a little running a 250fsb?

Ok, so i just bought a BFG 6800 PCI from monarch for $425 and an A8N for $184. Now I need to get the rest of the parts. The rest being memory, hsf, and processor. I was thinking a 90nm 3200+. Know anywhere I can get one for about $190 or less? CNPS 7000B ALCU from zipzoomfly for $33. and...

Since installing the lastest ati drivers bundled with CCC everytime I right click the desktop or explorer or paste something to either of those a window pops up and it starts installing the catalyst control center. Has anyone else had this issue or heard about it? It really is weird and I...

Found this in the hotdeals at anand but thought it was more interesting than hot so I'm gonna post it here. This is the first of these cards I've seen for sale.

Is this PC4400 the same as this PC3200 Patriot memory? I'm putting together an overhaul of my system and I was going to buy the memory now because at least I can use that in my current system until I can find an affordable decent pci-e video card. Anyway, are those two models really the same...

I was just searching around and found low profile 150's for sale. Looks like a good solution for those who want to make really small htpcs and would rather have this than the e-home or that really expensive new ati tuner. Not really any info on this from hauppauge but there is mention of it...

Well, I just found a nice price on the A8N and I'd really like to buy it now, but, I have no idea what to do about a video card. I'd really like a 6800 gt so I can play HL2 at 1600x1200 nicely. Availability on these cards is not great (monarch has an ETA in march). I could get 2 6600's but...

Good old zipzoomfly. In stock and a decent price from a decent store....not bad.

The first reasonable price for this motherboard. But, you might not get it for a while still. If you want this board you might want to put in an order here and then see if you can find it anywhere else for a reasonable price while you wait. Asus A8N SLI Deluxe $186.99 - 10.00...

check it out...new 150mce bundles and various remotes. It says Special as well for the price. The basic bundle looks like a pretty good deal.

link $83-20MIR = $63 shipped good price for really good sound. I know people who have had problems with buy.com but I've placed a few orders there and received them flawlessly. ends 9/30

Good price for a good name retail drive. only the standard 1 year warranty though. can't really beat this deal for an htpc or something like that rebate expires 9/14 hope this isn't a repost. i did a search but did not see anything.

Is there any physical different between the cables for component and composite connections? If not I'd rather use some old composite cables than paying $1,000,000,000 for new component video cables for my dvd player. Any thoughts about the picture quality I'd get from that. Crapass...

Anyone know the differences between this chipset and the MCP and MCP-T. I know MCP-T is soundstorm. I just saw a nice refurb MSI board at newegg and was wondering what added features mcp2 might have.

Not bad deal. Again, from tomorrow's CompUSA ad. I think it might actually be a maxtor drive. Just google the manufacturer part # on this. It would be nice for an htpc or just mass storage. Ultra ATA 133 too :-) right, its $130. price woulda helped

week of 8/8 The advertisement and comics part of my sunday paper was just dropped on my driveway for some reason. So I decided to take a look. Title says it all I guess. It's at CompUSA. $20 MIR on the router and $25 on either card. Good time to set up a g network.

Anyone here seen anything around the web about how to get the roslyn's radio tuner to work? I installed the newest drivers over at SHS and the wintv radio app. But it just says radio hardware not present or busy. I've been searching for a while but nothing really helpful has come up anywhere.
