Just checking - you all know about shopgoodwill.com, right? :confused: The good stuff that the stores get in their donation bins often never sees the shelves... because it goes straight to their Goodwill internet auctions. ;) If they think something is special or collectable enough, or if...

Pinhole. :thumbsup:

Yep. :\ http://www.king5.com/story/news/local/seattle/2015/03/10/i5-traffic-seattle-freeway-construction-legislature/24686207/

That makes sense. I think the good news is that this box is so incredibly low power, that it doesn't make that much heat that needs to be dissipated. :) And if you were still concerned, it would be a piece of cake to pop open the case...

Yep, that's the one I bought and that's the amazon link. :thumbsup: There are apparently several model numbers, the 6408[a] with 8MiB flash and the 6416[a,b] with 16MiB flash (the one to get). I believe the 'b' designates the models which are individually calibrated, but that's just a...

Explain your reasoning? This new router has already proven that it can hold up to the usual internet streaming (Netflix, etc.) as well as streaming content between MythTV boxes on the local wireless network. It's able to handle everything the WRT54Gv8 could, and more. (For example, with...

An update: I've made the transition to a "Gl.iNet 6416B" router. It's usually classified as a "travel router" because of its size, but even in the basement of our two story house with just its single small internal antenna, it has been working well for us. :thumbsup: 802.11bgn (2.4ghz only)...

It also stands to benefit from 7-8 years of chip fab process improvements, so the potential is there that some of the components (processor and memory in particular) could use significantly less power on a new router, even for comparatively greater capabilities. :thumbsup: Nope, no...

Good questions. I'm almost done migrating all of my devices to wireless, so very soon here (next few weeks) I should be fine without any wired ports aside from the WAN. My printer is wireless, and I have the NAS aspect covered with another machine, so I won't need USB, eSATA, etc. The...

I've been looking to upgrade from my Linksys WRT54Gv8 to something a little faster, but in researching potential replacements, I was rather surprised to see how much electrical power the average "modern" wifi router uses. For example, a table from a review for the Linksys WRT1900AC...

Absolutely. I ran a multi-tuner HD frontend+backend for many years on much lower-spec hardware (Athlon XP 3200+). MythTV has supported the HDHomeRun for a LONG time now (v0.20, Sept 2006). So that's not an issue. ;) If you haven't run it, you might not be aware of how watching TV is...

Black Friday aside, I think that's about the cheapest 27" IPS out there. Too bad you have to step up to the $250+ price bracket though to get one with a VESA mount. :\

IPS? What brand/model?

Does anyone have any gut feelings or observations on the pricing trends for 27" 1920x1080 IPS displays? The data at PCPartPicker shows that 27-30" IPS prices are declining, http://pcpartpicker.com/trends/monitor/ ... but I'm sure the flood of inexpensive 27" 2560x1440 WQHD displays has skewed...

This. :thumbsup:
