I have a WinFast TV Tuner and I've been recording in MPG2 "Optimal" quality, which is pretty decent. Unfortunately, the file sizes are tremendous. I've sampled some online TV recordings and they usually come in at 360mb for about a 42 minute show. I'm coming in at 2 GB for a 60 minute show. The...

I will definitely let you know. I'm getting the unit on Thursday and I'm trying to pick out a nice case as I need to rip my wc'ing rig apart to have my pump rma'd. Hopefully this will all get done this week and I get back to people here about how the Fortron compares to the Nexus. I would say...

I have a Lian Li PC60 and a LIan LI PC68 all with Panasonic L1A's on it. I would say with those fans the biggest problem for the system is finding an adequately quiet PSU. Cooling is generally adequate with the fans at low speed. (I have a 2.0 willy in one which is a heat monster and a p4 2.4...

Interesting comments about the Nexus and the Fortron. I am awaiting delivery of my 350w Fortron because I can't stand my Nexus 400w. I have the 300w version of the Nexus and it is reasonably quiet. On my wc'ed rig, the Nexus 400w just starts to crank up as I use the system. I was very...

Have you been able to improve the performance at all? This is driving me nuts as I can't tell if this is a hardware or software issue.

I am experiencing network performance problems between 2 pc's. I'm truly stuck as to how to proceed. The PC's are connected to each other via a Netgear FS605 switch (10/100 auto sensing). One PC has an intel Pro lan 100/S card in it which I have used without problems for 1 year now. The other...

I just upgraded this past week and am super happy. The chips that are out right now offer an amazing value. They almost all overclock very well as the products are very mature. Case in point: the xp2100+ oc's extremely well, and almost everyone with a newer P4 2.4B c1 stepping are hitting...

I have heard something to the effect that the 2.66 does not overclock very well. The 2.4 definitely overclocks extremely well.

I'm new to overclocking and I just built up a P4 2.4B c1 stepping on an Asus P4PE/L board. I'm a little concerned about the temps. I'm using an SLK800U with an 80mm fan. here are the temps I'm getting: Idle: mobo 31C cpu 38-40C under full load (hotcpu): mobo 34C cpu 51C The system seems to...

I'm curious how I can stream video from a PC hooked up to a TV to another PC on a home lan. Are there any affordable software packages that can do this with no loss in quality?

How loud are these things? I'm thinking about ordering, but I don't want a noisey box... can the noise be fixed with quieter fans?

It also looks like they limited the processor selection? I was giong to order last night and now its changed.. oops!

Didn't Tom's hardware do a review of the Linksys G access point and found that it had some serious problems dealing with the .b standard? You might want to check there. They were very disappointed with the results and said it really required some serious firmware updates for it to be a viable...

Anyone have experience with this case? I'm looking for a micro atx case that's aluminum that can also accomodate a real power supply. How easy is it to live with this case? Can it be converted into upright configurations if needed?

Yes, Nvidia drivers have been a lot better in the past and continue to be so, but once one is over 100fps, who really cares? I'd rather have more eye candy on the screen at a reasonable rate than higher fps that I can't really use (or see). In any event, the GF FX is a bad approach. Pretty...
