Thanks for the quick answers. I has an asus 939 mb connected to a router/switch. Must be something peculiar to this mb.

my motherboard comes with 2 gb connectors. When I use both, I get all sorts of errors. Now that I'm building a video/audio file server, I'd like to use some extra nic cards. I have 6 intel gb nic sitting around. Can I use all 6 if I had the space? How come it didn't work with 2 cards?

Thanks rubycon.

I'm looking to recycle some of my old computers into storage servers. Do you have to have a 'server' motherboard and server operating system? I had used a plain old computer with windows xp as a server and the problem I ran into was that it takes around 20 seconds to wake up if inactive for a...

My netgear takes 90 min to copy 6bg of data from my pc. I'm on a gb network. Seems real slow doesn't it?

I like the veris fusion case better: more power (430w), display, and most important..built in IR receiver for MCE remotes. I'm building a htpc as well. Will go with a 790gx motherboard and a 45 watt amdx2 processor. You should not need an add on video card. Don't you want to play blue ray...

Is deneb any more than a 45nm process?

Does the ps3 have analog audio output with volume control?

Yes. I have a very nice 5 channel amp already. If I can build a computer that plays blue ray, processes dolby signal to my amp, I'll come out ahead of buying a decent blue ray player ($300) and processor (~800). Plus I'll have access to my music library, itunes, netflix, internet, the...

How's this: 1. cpu: amd 4850e 2. mb GIGABYTE GA-MA78GPM 3. g.skill 4gb ddr2-800 4. CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX power supply 5. Liteon blueray 6. wd 640bg drive Will a micro-atx board fit an atx case?

while I'm at it, the x2 have several different lines, the 52--+ brisbane vs. the 4850e for example. Same price, what's the latest and faster processor line?

maybe I'll forget the dvr function for now. What's the difference between the phenom and the x2 black edition aside from the number of cores? I heard that most software doesn't support more than one core anyways?

My main objective is to playback blueray dvds. I would like to be able to use it like my Moxie box if possible (DVR function)

OK, seems like the 780g is the way to go. Do you suggest using the built in graphics or should I get an add on card? Which Phenom CPU should I use? Is there a specific 780g board that's well liked? Newegg reviews are all over the place.

I'm confused. In order to get dolby digial/dts etc to my 5 channel amp, what do I need? Seems like I'm not certain where I'm going here. Maybe I'll set my criteria and I would appreciate all thoughts. I don't really have a budget, but I'd like to spend less than $2500. I certainly don't...
