No recording, not much actualy tv/cable/sat stuff planned. Now I know even less what to choose lol. Would that dual core be better than the quad? Going less green is ok, keeping heat and noise down would be nice but speed and the possibility of doing some gaming sounds nice. Def no Windows Media...
Im not really too familiar with them either. Was hoping I could get a 2tb 7200 caviar green at a deal. Might have to lurk around a while to find it, buy something to hold me over for now.
oh wow thanks for that combo didnt see that, this is looking pretty nice. $366 without remote. board case/psu mobo ram cpu. 408 shipped. No hd yet, trying to find quiet low power with some size to it.
I don't think I need to a blu-ray drive yet. Budget around $300 I guess, seems low but it looks like it covers it all, but I can spend more. I will probably try to do a little gaming, but I dont know how bad I would pay $ for trying to play some high end stuff on mini atx. 1080p a lot.
I found some suggestions elsewhere that recommend this stuff so im starting from there.
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 255 Socket AM3
-TDP 65W
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H
-AMD 785G chipset
-ATI Radeon HD 4200 GPU
-HDMI
-SATA support
HD : gonna scour hot deals for a 2tb low power something

Do I need subwoofer cables for that? These speakers and sub came with no instructions! Putting my ignorant butt in the dark at this...
So the onkyo shipped today, and im adding 14AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper SPEAKER WIRE Cable - 100ft from monoprice in there. Was told Id need subwoofer cable too so I am also odering this 12ft Coaxial Audio/Video RCA Cable M/M RG59U 75ohm (for S/PDIF, Digital Coax, Subwoofer & Composite...
So ive got the Onkyo 160 sitting in shopping cart trying to pull the trigger. One thing that has me worried is I have no idea how much wire I need and what kind, I have a 12 x 15 room but im confused on guages and whatnot, I know its always better to have too much than too little but I dont...
The audyssey sounds nice, so onkyo ftw but I dont know which I really need. My tv has 3 hdmi inputs so im good there, I wish I could fish up something on craigs under 2 hours away. Im inbetween Chattanooga and Knoxville, both turning up crap. I bet living in a big city makes craigs great for...
Im wanting to get serious with this, but being in apartments right now I have to be sort of careful. But the sound quality of music streaming from the xbox is unacceptable, I cant wait to equalize it, and the tv speakers are just pathetic im ready for what ive heard in stores in the past. Looks...
Im still up in the air. Onkyo sounds like the way to go but 2 hours radius around me from craigs isnt yielding anything. Its seems like hdmi ports on it would be nice but since my tv has a digital input is it necessary? I dont really know what im talking about but I dont want to throw money away...
Well its gonna be for anything I use cable tv wise straight from the wall and my pc streaming to the 360 and gaming. I use hdmi on the 360, Mitsubishi TV - 60" Home Theater TV: Model WD-60735.
Speakers and sub seemed like a decent deal, reviews were fair, so I pulled the trigger.
I just bought these Acoustic Research-Home Decor 100W 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System.
