I'm starting to acquire parts to put together an HTPC for the office.
My main goals are:
1. A system that can run Vista with 4 DVI/HDMI outputs (I currently have 4 monitors on my desk running on 2 machines and want to be able to run one machine that can power all 4 monitors with separate...
I've picked up stuff like this from dealextreme.com Happy with http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1377 this one which was $3.95 shipped and does SD/MMC as well as memory stick.
It's been some years since any of the kids have tried to eat light bulbs and since we put the bulbs in the sockets and don't let anyone throw them at each other, there is no breaking and no sitting around breathing in any vapors.
Got mine from PCConnection today. Ordered on 9/1 at 11 pm est. Other than slight marring on one spot on the front that should wash off, the unit is AMAZING. No problems with any pixes and it DWARFS the 24.1 Samsung sitting next to it (that once was the largest monitor available!).
The same deal was posted over the weekend with a couple of different vendors on the other hot deals forums and orders got canceled due to a claimed price error.
We'll see what happens with this one, but I'm willing to give it a try. :)
I'm in the music business, so going is no question. I fly in to LA and its an easy drive, but if you don't need to be in LA (I try to take some meetings before and after).
Palm Springs is the closest airport
check out your local COmpusa clearance sale...I found a Flashtrax 40 gig for $150 before a $100 MIR recently. Don't know if the rebate is good, but saw that the price at my store was down to $130. It plays DIVX, has a usb port and a CF slot.

be careful when ordering..the lowest price at amazon is from some other vendor who charges $13 for shipping...make sure you choose Amazon as the seller (currently 28.95) and get the free shipping.
