    Neighbor Shoots Down Drone Near Robert Duvall’s Property

    Read what I quoted. I said nothing about the legality of shooting a drone, I simply pointed out that your blanket statement was incorrect. "It's also illegal to discharge a firearm into the air regardless of the reason." There are a number of reasons that you can discharge a firearm into the...

    Neighbor Shoots Down Drone Near Robert Duvall’s Property

    That's just wrong. Read the article, the neighbor used birdshot. How do you think birds are hunted? (Or clay pigeons busted) (Hint: it involves firing into the air)

    If it cuts off the net connection, I'd imagine that computer is fairly safe from picking up anything new. :D

    New sound card

    I do play a few older games currently use creative alchemy, would a Xonar have any support for something similar, it's not a huge concern but I'd like to know before I grab anything.

    New sound card

    I think i read nvidia cards had issues with that, I don't remember and I've never tried it. I'm using analog to the reciever. If it matters for sound-card selection, the speakers are a 5.1 setup.

    New sound card

    Sorry I should have included this in the first place. 80% of the time I'm using speakers (through a receiver, Yamaha RX-A700 if that matters) the other 20% of time I'm using headphones.

    New sound card

    My Audigy 2 ZS died this weekend (at least I think it's dead, i get horrible crackling audio and very high dpc latency when it's plugged in, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers did not help) I haven't looked at sound cards in years. What is a good replacement for this card? I would be...

    Corsair "Barebones" Christmas Giveaway!

    I like how both the 750W Corsair PSU I have in my secondary machine and my 850W in my primary both offer rock solid performance and were priced very reasonably.

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    I do not have onboard spdif and from what I read I can't do surround with my video card's HDMI out as both my motherboard and soundcard lack the proper connections. I can't be positive as I've said I'm new to this, but looking at the receiver included with your Onkyo package it does not have...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    I'm probably going to order that receiver tonight and since the Klipsch aren't shielded either the Yamaha or the Polk speakers, I know the Polk put me about a hundred over my original budget but a friend of mine is trying to convince me to get them and I could just eat the difference from my...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    Oh, I didn't realize that. This is the first time I've ever looked at any speaker setup that wasn't specifically made for a PC so this is very new to me. Many years ago I used to have a set of Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 and while I assume they can't hold a candle to a home theater system I...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    Ah, I'm looking for a surround setup, but even if I only got 2 and found them for 167 each I assume I'd still need the receiver and that's still well over my budget. I realize that I can probably get higher quality speakers if I get less of them and pay more per speaker, but it's not the setup...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    I'm sorry I don't know enough about this to understand that graph and in addition it appears that the speaker you listed is 200 dollars on amazon for I think a single speaker which would put me well over budget.

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    Oh wow, I had no idea, that's actually kind of neat, I think I'll still stick with the receiver and an analog setup though but at least this opens up more future possibilities. As for the CRT and the speakers, hmm that's a bit troubling, I can't really move the CRT much, it's the only other...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    2 more quick questions 1st I just noticed that with the Klipsch HD 300s only the center channel is magnetically shielded while for both the Polk and the Yamaha sets are completely shielded. How important is this if the front left and front center speakers may be near a CRT and my computer...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    If you are using optical out, does a game have to specifically support Dolby Digital or DTS to use surround or is that support through the sound card? If I went with the Klipsch HD 300 the total would be close enough to my budget to not bother me, the Polk Audio RM705s with the receiver would...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    I see, then it looks like I'm limited to a receiver that works with analog inputs. Looking at the receiver you recommended, I assume I'd need 3 of something like this cable http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=5598&seq=1&format=2 to go from the...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    While I do remember reading good things about the Klipsch Promedia 5.1s as far as I know they've been discontinued for years and I'm a bit wary about buying a used speaker set that old. I'm a bit confused though for outputting audio from HDMI. Would I need a new sound card as Procyon12...

    Help choosing 5.1 speakers / receiver

    I've been searching through these forums for some general recommendations but I figured I'd make a post because I have some specific questions. I'd like to get some speakers for my PC, I currently use headphones 99% of the time but there are defiantly times I miss using speakers and I've been...
