No clue. I'll just take suggestions and do my own research for what might be right for me. This is one of the other things I don't know yet. This HTPC is to replace the cable company HD Digital Cable(Cox) set-up we had. I didn't appreciate my cable/net bill being so high every month for a...

Alright, I've finally gotten around to setting aside time and cash to build an HTPC. 1. MY HTPC will be used for: High Definition tv, movies, maybe some games, but not as a primary gaming rig. TV is a Samsung 40" 720P HD LCD. Obviously movies are going to be mostly standard DVDs, but I plan...

Yeah, thanks for the reply. That prett much reaffirms my opinion on which to get. Oddly enough I got -no- reponse when I posted this in the correct area. Thanks again. I'll probably be going ASUS, non-wifi, DDR2. The only other option would be(since I can't get to the ASUS DDR2/3 combo...

I am looking for a new computer. I'm building this myself, owing my current prediciment to my vid card crapping out on me and the cost being so high to upgrade/replace anything in the old computer that it's just not even worth it to do so. Therefore, I am in the market for a new comp. I'm...

(Admin, feel free to delete this, I just realized I probably posted this in the wrong section. Making a post about this in the Motherboard section.) I am looking for a new computer. I'm building this myself, owing my current prediciment to my vid card crapping out on me and the cost being so...

Appreciate the info. I also understand the horror stories I've been reading about a perma acrylic case for every day use, so I guess it will just be an art piece. Building my own case will take far too much time, otherwise I'd be more than willing to jump right into that. The assignment will...

I'm doing a computer mod of sorts for an art class at my university and I'm up a little creek with no floaties. I need to get this thing ASAP, so I don't have nearly as much time as I'd like to search out the best prices or most usable cases, so I'm shooting for cheapest buck per bang. (Due date...

I have never been so completely in agreement with something as the NOMA concept. The very idea that science cannot prove or disprove religion and that vice-versa is also not possible has never been so properly spelled out. I did about an hour's reading(will probably do more, as this intrigues me...

Just wanted to report back that I did, in fact, just today, pick mine up. Took a while to get it because the woman at the customer service desk left me standing at the desk without even asking me what I wanted. She then proceeded to tell one of the other women, from half-way across the store...

Worked for me, just gotta go pick it up tomorrow. I already have one of this same surge protector and mostly want it for the extra outlet plugs. :>

Brag: SwiftInk! I've just, today, gotten my ink in the mail and this time it worked out. A fellow by the name of Aziz helped me with my initial problem and continued to help me all the way through to today. I would post the e-mail tag we played, but basically I screwed up an order...

Alright, I'm looking to improve the performance of my computer. It's an older model, but not completely useless, yet. The problem is that I have no idea what to do. I don't know if I should upgrade my ram, video, or what. Keep in mind, I intend on keeping this computer until Conroe comes...

Very interesting information, there. "Question isn't 'can we do it,' question is 'is it practical'." Thanks for the reasonable replies. Only question is, anyone heard anything about information on this process maybe becoming practical? I would think it'd be big news, since it would offer such...

Jeez. Harsh learning curve in tech. I've no problem with being corrected. I just -love- learning new things about upcoming technologies. I guess lesson learned here is to learn of existing technology first, eh? Still, cool concept and something I haven't heard of before.

3d chip architecture! Killer sounding, especially the possible benefits. Now, to see it get off the ground... http://www.dailynexus.com/news/2004/6670.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/09/050910085819.htm "The Boeing Company gave four patents to UCSB that describe...
