    Post Your Workstation 2009!

    Latest. I will try and get a daytime shot as soon as I clean my room. The green you see are those color changing lights from Ikea. While I am here. How awkward is it to have two different sized monitors as dual monitors. With that nice 23" Samsung on sale for around 160 I want...

    Windows 7 and Optical Output

    Didn't think about setting filters for SPDIF since I never had to do that in the past. That worked and now I'm getting sound to all 6 channels. Thanks guys.

    Windows 7 and Optical Output

    Just updated the BIOS to the latest and still seem to have the issue. I'm guessing its just a driver/software issue. When in the properties for the optical setup, I am able to run the DTS Audio test under the Supported Formats tab and properly get signal from all 6 speakers. :confused:

    Antec Fusion Black restarts when shocked

    Awesome, thanks! I thought it was a grounding issue, but I was thinking how could a company like Antec screw something like that up. Thought it had something to do with the VFD. Silly me.

    If you could choose any motherboard for a HTPC, which would it be?

    Thanks, after some research it does not seem to allow for both digital outputs to be used at one time. :(

    If you could choose any motherboard for a HTPC, which would it be?

    Would the GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H be able to handle dual monitors whereas one is connected via HDMI at 1080p and one is connected via DVI and running at 1440x900? This would be a great solution to my problems and save me so much money.

    One of my friends used to game from his couch. He used to rest the keyboard on a pillow on his lap and then use this hard square pillow for the mouse. I laughed at him the first time I witnessed it but it was actually really comfortable. Considering the height of the pillow on my lap it...

    The HD Homerun isn't able to receive premium channels though. So as far as I know, the only other solution to this is a CableCard enabled computer. Am I right?
