Got it. I updated all of the parts. Can you guys take a look at it?
1) Are the receiver/speaker combination good? Thoughts would be welcomed!
2) Now that I saw the HTPC, I'm really interested in trying to get a cable card into a the system. Based off the intel midlevel rig, could I plug...
Whoa. So if I got the cannon, I could scrap the cable box all together? This card could pay for itself in a little over a year. My brother-in-law has comcast.
Hey so I just took a look at your thread. Building the midranged box you spec'ed out would be pretty neat. It would have bluray, and I could try to manage my cable box's DVR through it, not only saving some money (50-100/yr), but being pretty overall neat. Assuming I build the rig, I could...
Yes. He has HD service via cable and appleTV. Getting a bluray player is in the cards for him as well.
Yeah I think he'd like to. Currently he has a DVR Box through Comcast, but it's pretty small.
He has a Samsung 40"-something. I know it's vague, but he lives on the other side of...
Hello there!
I'm not a frequent poster, but would appreciate people's help. I'm looking to reward my brother-in-law with an amazing home theater system for his birthday, and thought you all might have some great insight. He's a techie, so he definitely appreciates the better quality things...
Make sure you factor in cooling. Can't stress that enough. I built one and it sucked because it got too hot. bleh. I ran it with the case half open when I gamed.
So my main worry with ATI was its compatibility with linux (this system will also be used as a computational machine with Linux as well as a gaming machine) but someone has assured me that ATI's drivers (while not as good as nividia's drivers) are adequate and only getting better since AMD...
So I made some changes to my rig, based off your advice:
Intel x894030

Hey,
So my friend and I are building a casual gaming/computation rig, and after advice from other parts of this forum, we decided to go with air cooling. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm still not sure which case would be overall better for air flow etc. I like the Lian Li...
Thanks for the info. I looked into the Scythe Ninja Copper, and I feel given my limited price range, it might be better that I stick with air. Any other advice pertaining would going with this route would be greatly appreciated.
So my friend and I are building a gaming ring with a budget of 200 dollars for cooling. I personally am for water cooling and would like to implement such a system, however my counterpart disagrees. He feels that a air cooled system will be quieter and cooler.
He wants to use a cohort of...
hey thanks for your help! I actually found a buyer through a mutual contact, so no worries about paying stupid commissions to ebay. I got $600. Not bad right?
So plans to buy the PS3 are in order. I figure I should focus on school next term and go crazy this summer, so i'm going to buy in...
Thanks for the advice thus far! So would it be smarter to sell it all as a combo or individually? I figure the value of the accessories goes to zero if I tried to sell them individually, so I might just sell it as a giant package.
I did some ebay sleuthing and it put my entire package at a...
Hey guys,
I was hoping to get some input on this. I've had my wii for a while, and have bought a lot for it, but increasingly I find myself not using it. I was thinking of switching to the PS3, since Blueray has pretty much won, and the fact that I'm kind of bored with the 'look you can use...
I just bought a dell xps and was hunting for a mouse. I never thought I'd dip that much into a mouse.. so I bought two. I figured if it retails at 80 and I got it for 37.50 (shipping), I can sell the 2nd one for a small profit? On froogle I saw them for 60-70. Think I'll be able to sell the...
I've been hunting for a coupon like this for ages! Thanks so much! Here is the system I bought for those who are curious:
