The Logitech Harmony remote I am using works well with my Microsoft IR receiver. However, it is just emulating the commands of a MCE remote. I would think as long as the device has the right software, the MS receiver would just pass the info along, so to speak...

To clarify, if you have digital cable, a PC TV Tuner will not tune any digital stations (over 99 for me, maybe higher else where). ATI has just come out with one that does have CableCARD support, but it is still testing and destined for OEM's only. To get 'digital' channels from your cable...

It depends on your current component configuration, but for long term usability, I'd save up and get the IR receiver. Then you can have a true 'seamless' home theater experience using an all-in-one remote. Of course 1080i on my HDTV makes text (other than MCE's) unreadable, so I don't use a...

If you want the 'encrypted' or digital channels on your PVR box, then you'll need another cable box. If you just want the regular stations, (non-digital, under channel 99 for me w/ TimeWarner), then you'll just need a cable splitter before the cable box to get a fresh line to your PVR tuner.

The only way I know to get the Microsoft IR receiver/blaster is to buy the remote combo. That being said, it is still cheaper ($30) than getting a USB-UIRT. Most other combos won't save you much money.

a nice guide with examples. I send it to anyone asking about the format differences. http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/anamorphic/index.html

I couldn't get the code to work, but after chatting with a rep, she told me to email her my order number and she would credit the shipping. thanks op.

My sticks are running great in the rig detailed in my sig. The rebate is another story. They claim I didn't send the packaging receipt in... I contacted ZZF and they offered to fax me a copy of the invoice, hopefully that will work. I swear I sent two peices of paper, invoice and rebate...

Note on the $40 rebate from ZZF... The top part of the rebate form specifies the "original UPC code from the memory module box". Yet, in the fine print under "Terms and Conditions" specifies "the original UPC code from the anti-static bag that your memory came in". The regular box UPC...

thanks OP. Price is creeping up. It was $244.99 a few hours ago, now it's at $246.99. saw the price at newegg(349 - 100 MIR) and had to bite...

thanks OP. $5 coupon got it down to $89.99.

I wouldn't leave the 550 out of consideration. It is an updated version of the 520. I like the button layout and general appearance better than the other Harmony remotes. I couldn't justify the 880's price tag at the time (although $130 isn't bad at all), but I don't regret my purchase...

jumped on this one. I needed new dress shoes anyways. Thanks OP.

a 5% zerex solution put made my tygon go cloudy starting about 4 weeks after install, and then an odd 'orange' color. this picture is after about a year. a previous mix of ~10% water wetter turned the clear flex I had to opaque in days. water wetter is know to screw up your tubing, stay...

i was about to ask the same thing, but on the x14s4p3 500W newegg has. there is a xclio on the recommended list. I received a response from a Xclio(meridian) sales rep and he said they come with a 2 year warranty. The reviews on older versions that are out there are possitive. it was a...

you could always get the official MCE remote as it comes with an IR receiver/blaster for $35 then buy the Harmony. That is what I was planning on doing whenever I venture into the HTPC realm. Although I have not verified that this idea actually works...

I have a v1000 as well. I've seen a few posts about larger than average psu's not fitting. My Coolmax 550W fits fine, but I also removed the panel between the psu compartment and the hard drive cage. i think it is only two rivets, maybe four, holding that panel. Removing it will give you...

.25" sounds right.

from wal-mart, for $1.74 got some sticky-sided velcro, now to rig it where i can easily remove the material from the side of the case...

how tall is that? having the base a little deeper horizontally would help keep any bubbles out of the loop... although complicating the design. i do agree with the previous comment in regards to the pexi fogging up. i'm not sure how to eliminate that w/o having the cascading water hit the...

booyakasha http://www.purapc.com/store/PuraPC_filters.html min order amount is above the $4.99 per sq ft. for the filter material, 2 sqft seems to do it. free shipping too :)

google, here i come...

let me know if/where you find that stuff. I need some for the inside of my v1000b. that material looks like it would do the trick.

I fixed the problem with the bubbles by adding a ring of pvc with a notch cut out to the inner rim of the reservoir. like this changed the way it looked, but effectively removed the bubbles. the biggest problem was I couldn't leave the top of the res removable w/o having slight leakage...

Here is what I had come up with http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3628199040354855678

a huge cascading waterfall might be a bit much, but something small would be awesome. i definately like a reservoir where you can 'see the action'. i tried my hand at making a custom one (video on google soon). It looked great at first, but then the design flaws kept me from using for more...

1. Yes 2. N/A 3. N/A 4. Yes 5. Yes 6. Yes

i removed both of the HD cages in my v1000b and reinstalled one of them. i tried multiple different diameter drill bits and had about 15% of the rivets i removed from the case(i removed almost all of them) came out with just the drill. the rest i had to use a screwdriver and a hammer to tap...

i tried water wetter, tubes developed a cloudy coating within a week. i recently went with a 10% mix of distilled h2o and zerex. after about two weeks i could see the tubing getting slighly cloudy. it's been almost two months now and my tubes(clearflex) definately have a cloudy haze to them, but...

i have a v1000b. i removed one of the drive bays and mounted a 120 heater core. blows the exhaust over my hard drives and down and out, i suppose. side off the case doesn't lower the temps more than 1-2 degrees. I'm cooling CPU and GPU using a the fan in my sig at 7v. 50C on load, 12v gets me 46.

just got my 2005fpw and was thinking about the same thing. we need something about 19" or wider on the inside edge. I was really looking at trying to find a gun case, aluminum if possible, to carry it in. The best chance is the 4 pistol ones, but everything i've found, at least the remotely...

i noticed the same 'blurry' peripheral objects yesterday. I'm not sure if it will keep bothering me in the long run. The main reason it worries me is that some games can cause me to get a motion sickness headache that takes hours to clear. It really depends on the game. I started getting it a...

our cat, all 5.6lbs. of fury, tried jumping up on my 2005fpw yesterday. she failed miserably, but the monitor only rotated slightly as she slid off. the base if very sturdy. never tried to scratch the screen(i don't like declawing), some hair on the screen. the only real time she even goes...

ditto. one stuck/dead pixel, rubbed it and it came back to life.

got mine in with no noticable bleeding and only one dead pixel. however, after reading a post about 'massaging' the pixel back to life, i ran my finger over it and it came back on. in regards to returning, it looked like mine had been returned before. there were some scratches on the back of...

I have the polar flo branded delphi. About a week into setting up my system I found my self in your situation. Pump just wouldn't start. Verified voltage to the pump, tried a different PSU, etc. emailed tech support, let them know what I tried, and they told me they would get it resolved...

just got mine today and i noticed the same problem. games look amazing, but the exact same issue with DVD playback. since I don't watch a lot of DVD on my comp, it shouldn't bother me too bad. however, i just started looking into the problem, so maybe i'll find something... resolution...

have hope. my ship date was 5/19 on a 5/14 order, but it shipped 5/16 and i just found out it was delivered at 2pm CST. awesome. in houston, shipped from waco.

pulled the trigger on the 2005fpw. missed it last time around, can't resist this time... my wife is the 'worst' financial consultant. "sure, go ahead and get it. reward yourself..."
