Hello all I finally assembled my first computer after much lurking around here. Here are the parts: *********************************** Silverstone LC20M Silver ATX HTPC Home Entertainment PC Case with VFD, Remote Control, Front USB, FireWire and Audio Ports Ultra / X-Finity /...

EdZachary!

Funny thing is that both your recs ore on my short list... The reason I went with the 6600 was to go in with standard setting and get the speed. That said, OCing is a little intimadating to me since I have never done it and don't know anyone who has that I can easily reach out to. I really...

I first want to say how impressed with this site I am and appreciate all the contributions. I found this site after I decided to finally build my first HT/Media computer and somehow a google led me here. That said, I have decided to go with the P5W-DH Delux from ASUS with the E6600 chip...

I also drink light beer since I don't want to continue the mid life expansion;>) Nothing better than rolling in from a hard day at the office, grabbing a quick and light bite to eat then settling in on the porch with a beer and keep a watchfull eye on the kids playing in the yard. HBomb

Have your parents consider very carefully if they want to extend their service by at least 24 months. Any time you do anything the clock starts over. Recently, I unknowingly extended my service by 24 months just by grabbing an H20 from BB. I had been an HDTV customer for nearly 3 years and I...

SACD or DVD-A formats do not have an issue with bass management... however, many players do have issues with bass management or some don't have bass management which is just as bad. HBomb

When the audio fever hits us there can never be a situation of overkill!!! :>) That said, your room size by volume will determine the actual need for duals. Also, with duals you have to take great care to not create nulls which can destroy the low end performance of your rig. When you do...

I have the Outlaw 770 which is the 7 channel, 200W/channel amp with twin SVS 20-39 CS+'s. I am very pleased with the performance of both Outlaw and SVS and would highly reccomend them to anyone. I'll tell you I can move the foundation of my house with the CS+!!! ;>) I run Polk SDA's for my...

That is very understandable Kaido. It looks like you have assembled a very respectable HT that provides a nice experience. The only thing I see is a 3dB imbalance between the fluance and dayton speakers which can easily be tuned by ear. Good luck HBomb

You really want the bipoles directly at your sides and at or just above ear level. I would also suggest the avia calibration disk and the analog spl that can be had from radio shack for about $40.00. If you don't want to buy the disk you should at least grab the meter and use the tests...

If engineering topped out at 90k I would have left the field long ago.

Ya but Touchstone and Monte Carlo analysis are way KEWL!

If your business does not have the need then on a cost basis alone the DSL is the way to go. I have done the same thing while networking business offices and as long as your not consistantly hitting 100% usage don't worry about it. Keep track of your peak usage and drive your bw requirement as...

I am an EE working in wireless and love it. I have about 20 years under my belt and it has been fun, very rewarding and the payoff has been beyond all my expectations. I truly wanted to be an engineer and IMO thats the only way you can make it through since any of the disciplines are very...
