I just gave this a try, only doing the free one they offer. I had trouble getting it to recognize most discs, it largely just gave me an error that the UPC could not be recognized. I did find one that would work, an old movie on DVD, Stephen Kings It. They sent me an email to confirm the...

motherboards and displays, I think.

1) I do not already but would absolutely consider it. 2) Yes, would be an easy way to start with water cooling on the video card. Plus, I assume it would come with a warranty.

Love the size, ergonomics and cooling options. Would love to see more HTPC options.

I have recently started to purchase movies through Amazon digital. Previously I purchased blu-ray or DVD's and ripped them to my HTPC so I could stream them around the house. Buying from Amazon digital allows me to do the same but without having to rip anything and use up disc space. I will...

concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs

I had this issue on my sons computer. Took me forever to figure out what it was as Poolmon and the like didn't really give me a lot of information (or perhaps I just wasn't using it correctly). Anyway, for me it ended up being an issue related to our AMD video card driver. I uninstalled it...

The standard model one isn't bad looking... can't believe it's mechanical for that price, though.

On the memory pooling, seems like a really great idea but how would that work? Would it require they both have the same type of memory? If not, how will the usage be prioritized? Will it use it's own memory first and then default to the other card?

Interesting development, if it works...

The coil whine seemed to be isolated to certain setups, resulting from the system running at too high FPS (over 200 I think). At least that is what I read. I too was worried about it but ended up buying one for my son for his computer for Christmas. As most were sold out I ended up getting...

Had very good luck over the years with Asus motherboards and video cards. Still rocking a monster HD6970 that I bought a few years back and have been eyeing the GTX 970's (although winning a 980 would be awesome!).

Empire Total War still available?

Christmas/Birthday present for my son... building his first gaming PC!

Like some of the others I have never had an issue with Windows 8. Just use Start8 (I can totally understand the argument that we should not have to use a workaround that we have to pay for, and I totally agree, but once you have it installed it's pretty awesome). Use Windows 8 with and SSD in...

There is an interesting article on the difference between some of the older CPU's and the newer ones. They didn't benchmark the 4790K but they did have the 4770k. http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1123 This article shows the difference between the 4770K and the...

I looked at this the other day as well as I was buying a video card. Based on what I could find only certain items on the site qualify, it's not all items like it was before. Of course the item I wanted did not qualify...

Worked for me in the St. Louis area as well

My wife and I both bought the 6 Plus shortly after it was announced. We have had it for a month or so now and we both have really grown to love it. At first, I would agree, it was like "holy crap, this is HUGE!" I might even say awkward a little. But now that we have gotten used to it I...

Give MakeMKV a try. It's free while in beta and super easy to use.

Do you have a Microcenter near you? If so you might want to take a look there as they have pretty good CPU deals that in some cases come with $40 off a mobo. They are typically the Core I3 3225 or I5 3570K. As for the memory I just bought the same thing from Amazon for $24.99 so you might...

I'm having a little problem. I currently have an HTPC in my living room that I use to watch and record OTA channels. I have two TV tuner cards in this box which allows me to watch/record up to 4 programs at a time. One is a Hauppauge 1229 WinTV-HVR-2250 and the other is Avertv MTVHDDUWB HD...

I assume you payed by Paypal? If so you should be OK as long as you open a case right away, which it sounds like you did. Paypal does not make the funds available to the seller right away for just this very type of thing. You might have to wait a bit, a week or so, but they will get you your...

I have two in my media center PC. One is the Happauge Win-TV HVR and the other is the AverTV HD Duet. They both run fine and have had no issues thus far. They are both dual tuner cards so I'm at the WMC limit of 4 tuners. I've never had a problem, even while 4 shows are recording at the same...

Over the last year I also built myself a home network with a media server and then PC's in each of the rooms I wanted to have access to the server. For each of the "client" PC's that connect to the media server I installed Windows 7 Professional. For the server PC I installed Windows 7...

I'm really not sure why this is so difficult to understand, and I'm not trying to belittle anyone, but if those of us on this board, who are by all accounts power users with a lot of knowledge of computers are having problems or questions, there is no doubt that there will be MANY questions from...

Always use Corsair and never had a problem in 10 years!

Becuase he would have the XPOWER!!! Sad, I know.

Why shouldn't you ride the metro? You should ride that Metro ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! :p

I am having the same lagging problems. I have tried driver ver. 61.77, 66.81, and 66.72. They all produce lagging. I had the 1.2 patch installed, and things ran perfect. A64 3200+ 6800 GT 256MB I want to clarify that all the delays are in single player mode, so there is no...
