    What's your total budget for the TV plus the installation?

    Need a suggestion on a new LCD 1080p TV plus comments on room design

    Good advice :thumbsup: . I would focus on setting up your existing 5.1 system, with proper room layout and calibration, before even considering going to a 7.1 system.

    Need a suggestion on a new LCD 1080p TV plus comments on room design

    I'll add my 2 cents... In my experience, the 1.5:1 ratio (for HD viewing) and the 2:1 ratio (for SD viewing) is dead on. So, what ihatemyjob mentioned above would be correct...if you go with a 40" TV, you should plan to sit at least 60"-80" away for optimal viewing distance. spidey - I...

    Zalman 9500/9700

    I have the CNPS9500 LED and I would echo Sparky's statements. I run mine at about 2000 RPM and the noise is inaudible above my two case fans (both 120mm). How much are you planning to OC? If you're not going all-out and getting high-end RAM to try and get the max OC possible, I don't think...

    Overheating problems with liquid-cooled system

    Have you tried calling Alienware support to have them help you troubleshoot it? As I understand it, that's one of the reasons to purchase a high-end system with a high-end price from a company like Alienware.

    250 Free Business Cards (pay shipping only)

    Same here. Nothing looks more unprofessional, IMO, than advertisements for other companies on your business card.

    Need length of Zalman 9500 775 Screws

    I just got done installing the CNPS9500, but it was on my socket 939 motherboard. So I didn't really look too closely at the screws for the socket 775 installation. But from memory (and looking at the pics from the Zalman website) I would estimate that they are about 1-1/2 inches long. Are...
