ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

I built a machine for my cousin using this board and recently gifted him a 9800GT. He recently gave the machine to me for some maintenance and I flashed to the 3.15a BIOS and reinstalled Vista 64-bit. The card works fine both before and after. Not sure which BIOS was on it before, but it was...

warm - Opteron 180 at the egg for $115+ s/h

I went ahead and bit on this tonight. They currently have a nice combo with 1GB DDR for an extra $15. With this, I'll be able to upgrade my MythTV backend machine from a 3000+ and build another MythTV frontend with spare parts.

DEAD: Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player for $99 - BestBuyBusiness.com *** IN STOCK online ***

I got the same email. Now my moral dilema. I bought this as a gift and I already have an A2 for myself. Do I keep the A3 for myself and gift my A2? I wish I had saved the A2 box.

Stick it to the Man: $272.28 SATA Blu-ray/HD-DVD reader

You are correct sir. I wish I *did* have the hardware to notice. Let's just say I'm looking forward to it someday. I'm in the same boat with 3 year old stuff. No HDMI on the TV or Amplifier.

Optical doesn't do TrueHD. There's a good discussion about that on avsforums: Optical (Dolby Digital) vs HDMI (TrueHD) Sound

Warm? 1st Gen HD DVD Player HD-A1 - $149.77 shipped

They do continue to push firmware updates, so it might not be a bad deal. http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/ta...ices/hddvdfirmware.asp I got in on the HD-A2 at Amazon for $211 with 3 movies plus the 5 by mail in rebate, which seems like a much better deal. I updated the firmware on that one...

How to limit tenants usage?

Try the Tomato Firmware. It is supposed to be more stable and more complete in terms of QoS than DD-WRT.

connecting 2 routers & general questions

It sounds like WDS is your best bet since you need the connection between the two routers to be wireless. You'd get the best performance if you can run a hard line between them and run one in access point mode since you won't have to dedicate any of the wireless bandwidth to the connection...

public web address

Have the user flush the local browser cache. They might have a stale version. Also, have the user turn off "show friendly http error messages" (if using IE) so you can find out what the real error message is. IE will show "friendly" messages by default, which aren't helpful for debugging.
