    Playing DVD from computer to TV

    There is no "ease of use". I'd have to buy a DVD burner. Buy DVD player. Buy DVDs. I have 100+ gigs of TV shows. Now I have to keep track of 30+ DVDs? I like having a computer based system, because I don't have to burn DVDs, buy DVDs, store DVDs, pop DVDs in and out. I can jump from episode...

    Playing DVD from computer to TV

    But the idea is not to use DVDs. I have a DVD collection of about 120 movies (90-100 backups of originals) and I was going to use a wireless mouse. Then I just switch the tv input, use the mouse to find the DVD, fire it up, and it's playing. A lot easier then stacks of DVDs. Not to mention I can...

    Playing DVD from computer to TV

    Good point. My TVs s-video is a little messed up, that's why I found an RCA output.

    you can get a 9800 pro for 15 bucks more. (refurb of course, and when its in stock of course) i think thats what people hold out for

    Cold! Newegg now charging shipping for most refurbs.

    i hope you all stop buying them, then maybe I can get in before they go OOS. when you're saving 60 bucks, i don't care about 5 bucks. if 5 bucks breaks the deal, then it wasn't worth it in the first place. you wanna save 5 bucks go dig the change out of your couch

    HOT! 31 refurbished Sapphire 128 meg Radeon 9800 Pro $155.xx shipped @ Newegg!

    I've been about 75%. You can score some great cards. I got a 9700np for 159 about a year ago that turned out to be a 9700 pro. They give you tons of warnings, and you might get doa stuff but if you wanna save money its the best way to go. i find it funny people pause at having to return an...

    Looking for a new Mobo, 2 questions (sata/ram)

    When the SATA drives first came out, I heard about how you want the sata chip to be on the south bridge or else it will use the pci bus? Does that make sense? So all the new mobos do this? Are there certain mobos that are better for SATA drives? I have an amd system, I have 1 gig of pc2700 ram...

    CompGeeks: MSI Ti4600 $139.00 Refurbed

    I got a 9700 non-pro refurb for $159 from newegg last week. I'm not sure why everyone is telling him a non DX9 ready card is a good suggestion when he mentioned Doom3 and HL2. The 4600s were great last year, but this guy is talking about playing games that are coming out in a few months, and...

    ASUS A7V8X - SATA

    I've read about how it's better if SATA is linked/connected to the southbridge as opposed to the PCI bus. I've been unable to find that information about the A7V8X in the maunal or on the website. If anyone knows please post. Thanks!
