I'm planning on converting my home server to a HTPC and connecting it to my home entertainment center. Its main use will be web browsing and moderate game duty (WOW, Startcraft 2, Civ5) at 1080p. The computer sits in the unfinished area of the basement with easy access to the home theater...
Wow I sprung for this at its previous price a few months ago and am very happy with its functionality. It integrates well with the Xbox360 for streaming music and movies to my home theater A/V system and I use it to serve up my music library to a Squeezebox Boom with no glitches. Its back-up...
Has the stuttering issue that seemed to plague the HP LP2465 monitor been resolved? My research on this monitor suggests that am early 2007 revision refresh has solved the problem, but I want to be certain before pulling the trigger. The $75 rebate on this monitor makes it an attractive choice...
Its simple supply and demand, folks. Unfortunately, my Sapphire X1950 pro is slowly biting the dust and I'll need to get in the market soon, too. Not likely to get any satisfaction from Sapphire customer service on their 2 year warranty (card is only a year old), that's for sure.
Cheers...
Crap, I'm torn. My 3+ year old 30gig iPod Photo's battery won't hold a charge anymore, so it will be retired to car duty. Its nearly full too, so I'm not sure that 30G is going to cut it anymore, either. But this is such a frigging hot deal. Arggg!

I dual boot Xp and Vista, but only use XP for the one app that won't run in Vista, so I usually am working in Vista. No, BSOD, no crashes. I like it alot.

First install, dual booting XP and Vista. I had a hard time installing Vista until I discovered that the install error I kept getting was because I had a bad stick of RAM. Since fixing that, everything has been super smooth. No hardware conflicts (and there are native drivers for my Chaintech...
I stand corrected! Thanks Yoyo. At any (bit)rate :) the Chaintech/AegoM works great for me, and its no-hassle installation when upgrading to Vista is great too.
I'll also add that a fancy desktop volume controller with all kinds of buttons and dials and such is just one more thing to...
Dual Monitors,
I use my logitech keyboard with a volume jog dial to control my sound with these speakers and a cheapo Chaintech Envy based soundcard. link The beauty about that cheap soundcard for music listeners is that you can listen to your 2.1 speakers plugged into the jack that...
I stumbled upon a few good UPS deals at Staples.
Tripp Lite Smartpro Digital UPS for $99 after $25 rebate
Cyber Power BC1285C $110 (no rebate)
These are a step up from the lower end UPSs, and since they are heavy, Staples' free shipping saves even more $$. I bought the Cyber Power...
Acoustic Energy Aego M. Tiny, really clear sattelites and plenty of thump from the sub. The compare favorably to my JMLab Focal/Rotel home theater setup for close field listening. Retail for about $200.
