Well, it has been done. I helped a buddy of mine build his system with a GeForce GTX 260 which came with the spdif cable as well as a DVI->HDMI dongle. It was very simple; all we had to do was hook one end of the SPDIF cable to the appropriate connector on the motherboard and the other to the...
I really appreciate everyone's replies. The links you've all provided (which also had links within them) were extremely informative in giving a current "state of affairs" in regards to HDMI and audio. It does appear that several cards supporting HDMI, even through an adapter, have an SPDIF...
gersson: I read your thread and your "this cable" link doesn't work. Just making some assumptions I assume you did the following:
Hooked up SPDIF from internal motherboard connection to your video card - thus providing your video card with sound.
Bought the DVI -> HDMI adapter from whichever...
Lopri, are you speaking from experience/can you elaborate a little for #1?
Lets say I bought the EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 which has an DVI -> HDMI connector and I use that to hook up to my HDTV. The video card is going to pull sound from onboard/soundcard?
That would...
I have been looking to build an HTPC for quite some time and one of the things causing me to hold out is the need for HDCP so that I can view BluRay content. Now I could use a DVI or HDMI connection for this purpose but my TV - as with most - only has HDMI and VGA connections. So that's fine...
Nice post. I have the same case in silver and I would buy it again, especially at this price. The ports on top are very convenient especially since my case sits on the floor. The only thing you really need to be aware of is that you are going to need a power supply to go with it.
One slight problem. I snagged the last one available at my Circuit City. I'd much rather the keyboard than store credit for $35. I'm open to any other suggestions though.
First off, thanks op! I hopped on this deal.
Secondly, for those of you that purchased this keyboard, is the 'n' key more noisy than the rest of the keys for you? It looks like the left side of the 'n' key is rubbing against the middle divider. It happens a little bit with 'y' and 'h' as...
It was $15 at Fry's here in DFW (On 635 near the Tollway) today... Not sure how long it will be on sale for though. It is now a "Player's Choice" game, and has the "Best game of 2005" from Spike TV on the front
Curse you Devistater. My Natural Keyboard Elite is working perfectly... but it has the wonky pageup/down vertical block. and wonky arrow keys. and it's an ugly shade of beige. Sigh, this one is getting hard to resist.
Great post
Edit: Also keep in mind that you will have to pay tax at...
