Alright, so I am hoping I can get some advise/help from the users/readers of this thread. I jumped on the recent Fry's deal and got the Shuttle KPC K-45 case. But I am now at a point on trying to figure out which parts I would/should get. Specifically, CPU, Heatsink, Mem, HD. I want to use...

OP depending on the environment (OS), I believe you would see the job listed in the print queue if you open it. Though personally I have only experienced it certain times and it happens quickly. The printer icon appears in the systray and then disappears once the job is submitted. I don't...

So, any update on this thread? OP did you buy the Dlink unit or something else? I am also in market for NAS, my purpose for it would strictly to store files (movies, music, photos, etc...) and then be able to access/stream to whichever device I need to. This is for home/personal usage and I...

Ok, there is not a set timeframe when I need to have this all be ready. I am hoping to build on things, so initially I want to narrow down on a TV that I can use for both purposes if I can. On the TV I don't mind increasing my budget and getting something that would be nice as HT setup but...

Well, the PSU on that HP is 350w and I don't know if that can handle the new video cards. Additiionally, if I do get it, assuming I would have to swap out the PSU and add in a new card I think it'll cost me another $100 bucks or more anyways, so I guess I am better off building my own system...

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciate your help! As far as money goes I am flexible and wouldn't mind increasing my budget. I guess the question really becomes how much should I increase it by and if it is all worth it? Especially when it comes to LCD TV/Monitor. Westinghouse 32"...

yea definately a lurker... :) yes, I would like to use it as a PVR and as far as price goes, well I really dont know how much these things cost but I guess in the 500-700 range would be appropriate, obviously the less the better. Same goes for the TV, don't want to spend too much but in...

Hoping, I am not posting this question in the wrong forum but I wanted to know why would I want/need to build/buy an HTPC? My general understanding is that I can stream video content to LCD Monitor/TV with this type of setup. Is that it? or am I missing something? Second, If I do decide to...

Can you suggest any specific model #?

Thanks for the suggestions, do you know how much would all of that cost approximate that is? Thanks for the help! :)

Hmm lets say 2-3k, however cheaper the better.

Hello everyone, I am in process of building a server for a small accounting office. The primary use of this server is to allow 7-10 workstations to run applications off the server and data storage. There will be sql server running on this box as well. In general, database related...

While I dont know what the differences are, let me know if you are able to find one at a good price as I am looking into getting one of those laptops for myself as well. Seems though they are not in stock specifically 2012 I couldn't find at newegg or at buy.com. Thanks! D$L

Anyone with any suggestions to see how my PSU performing now and if its any good or not? Is there a program that will test my PSU??

Why do you say it will be CPU limited? I mean for the most part I will be using it for gaming, internet and othe word processing tasks. I have not OCed my machine but may do that however I am still trying to decide as to if I should go with Sonata or some other case.
