Yes, i've had the discussions already with the family members about what is expected - however, I still want to be able to log what services are being used, sites accessed, time spent on these services, etc. I dance with the idea of key logging too but not sure if I want/need to go there yet...

Looking to replace my ipad 2, and a laptop with this. Trying to decide between the 10", 12" or possibly a Dell or HP detachable.

Is there a way to tether my iphone to a wireless router? Specifically, using an Apple Airport Extreme.

I booted up the laptop one morning and opened outlook, and said my OST (data file) was damaged. Ran the repair tool, said its repaired. Everything works, except the calendar. I can edit calendar, but i cant dismiss any events, i get no event alerts, and i can't sync calendar to my phone (via...
I have posted in here about building almost a year ago, and just never got to do it.
I'd like to pick this back up. I'm sure technoloy has changed.. The original replies I got were for Zacate. Then the next thread i read said Llano is the better choice and half the price..

I can't tell if this is video card related or not. I fire up the box, screen wakes, but nothing ever displays. HDD activity light and CPU activity light are blinking like crazy, sounds like its booting up, but nothing ever displays.
Sound like video card? I wasn't sure since the screen wakes...
..Looking to spend under $100. Having a hard time finding the right mini ITX case to finalize my parts list for my first HTPC build.
Would you guys be willing to post a pic of what case you are using, and what model it is?
I had contemplated building a HTC about 6-9 months ago and Zacate was the way to go.
Is that still the case?

Built a PC for my brother just about a year ago. It's been running great.
He moved back to town. Upon his return to town, he set it back up. System won't stay running for more than 20 minutes. He loads it up, starts using it, and within 20 minutes (without warning) it just shuts off.

I've never really appreciated the value in a HTPC before, but I think I found my "niche" with them and an application it could really work for me.
I'm thinking about using an existing PC, with some minor upgrades, to essentially house all my media. Movies, music, whatever. No DVR or anything...
May, or may not be a stupid question.

Are there kits out there that allow this to be added to an existing PC?
