Where can I get a clear breakdown of what ATI and NVIDIA cards can do what when it comes to us in a HTPC. Some cards can do video processing, some can't Some can pass audio through HDMI, some can't Some will be great as a HTPC card, saome won't So where can the non-gamer go see what all...

I am very surprised to see that my new i7 92 system runs so slowly when I rip a dvd using DVD Decrypter. Also, it probably takes 1.5 hours to rip a 1.5 hour movie. I have compared my Superpi results to others and seem to be right in line. (32M @ 13:27, 1M @ 15, and 2M @ 32) I have not...

I just purchased an AMD 5050e to use in a HTPC. I will be using the on-board 780G video. I noticed that the heat sink and fan for the chip seem small and light. Is this really enough to cool this chip (No overclocking will be done). My goal is to have a small HTPC in the master bedroom...

I am about to build a new Home Theater Computer using the AMD 5050e CPU. I have seen reviews, but it never compares the chip to older chips. For example, I just sold a system that had an AMD 3800+ X2. How will the new 5050e compare? I also just sold a system that had a Pentium 4...

I am building a new HTPC and can not decide between on board 760G video or a dedicated video card along with an AMD 5050e CPU. The system will be running BeyondTV Link and be displayed on a 42 or 46 inch LCD or Plasma. Most content will be HD recordings made on the main BeyondTV server. If...

I am about to build a new BeyondTV link box for the master bedroom and have a question about which 40 inch monitor to use. Since prices have fallen so much, I am going with a 1080 vs 720 set. I have always liked Plasma better than LCD, but since the source will be coming from a PC, I assume...

Need 16gb Solid State Drive that is faster than my 76GB Raptor to use as a system drive. What is currently out there that is fast for a system drive. Also, has the prices come down enough to justify it?

Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P: Single DDR2 works but not 2 sticks. I just built this new system and had horrible system broblems. The system failed Superpi, Orthos, and Prime95. I pulled one stick of memory out and everything is stable. I switch the sticks and the other one is stable by...

I just put together a new system using a Lian Li v1200 Plus II case. The case has a 3.5 drive bay that looks to be designed for a floppy drive only. Is there a way to install a 3.5 multi-card reader in this slot. I bought one assuming I could and think that I should have purchased a 5.25...

I have isolated the problem by adding components back one by one to my new system. I now know that attaching serial cables to my Rosewill RC-301E PCIE Dual Serial card causes my system to lock during the Windows boot process. When the card is installed and the cables not attached, I just get...

I am hoping we can keep this thread going as prices change. I was about to build a new system today with a Q9550. I decided against it and am now waiting to see if the prices of the i7 920 and related components fall. My Q9550 build would include: Q9550 @ $310, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P...

I bought a Lian Li v1200 Plus II New on eBay for $162 and have not even opened the box. I now see that newegg has the Antec 900 for $59.99 delivered. I think that the Lian Li may be too big for my new system. Would you sell the Lian Li v1200 Plus back on eBay and buy the Antec 900...
