    Gaming HTPC Build

    Updated the OP to reflect final components. I stepped down the CPU to a 4570 because benchmarks said it was only about a 5% loss from the 4670 and it was $31 cheaper. I'll be keeping an eye out for deals on BF as I can always return the CPU to Micro Center if something better comes up. I also...

    Gaming HTPC Build

    Thanks for the explanation! I've adjusted the parts list in the OP accordingly. I'm going to try my luck with deals this week for the GPU, SSD, CPU, and PS. I may jump to the gtx770 since it looks like I may wind up below $1100. Thanks to Termie as well!

    Gaming HTPC Build

    Thanks for the quick response. I'm certainly open to stepping down on the graphics a bit if it means avoid my computer overheating. Do you have experience with this case? I forgot to mention a CPU cooler since I am very much on the fence about OCing anyway, but yes I'm aware I would need one...

    CJ I need to pick 2: Anquan Boldin @ HOU, Lance Moore @ TB, or Nate Washington @ BUF. I was planning on starting Alex Smith this week but benched him and picked up Hasselbeck since TEN is playing BUF, so this normally wouldn't be a question but getting Washington in might end up being...

    I am ready for some football! I have 3 similarly ranked WRs and need to pick one: Nate Washington (v NE), Lance Moore (v Was), or Anquan Boldin (v Cin). PPR league. Yahoo says Boldin is being started in 33% of leagues to Moore's 22% and Washington's 18%, but the Yahoo editors have Washington...

    James Jones is good for a TD pretty much every game. Other than that I'd start Stevie Johnson if he plays and if not then Baldwin. Damian Williams @ Atl or Early Doucet @SF?

    Heath Miller @Cincinnati or Dustin Keller vs the Pats? I think the Bengals D has been fairly good this season. While the Pat's D is bad they are going to do everything within their power to make life miserable for Sanchez. Also, Hasselbeck @ Carolina or Tebow at KC? Hasselbeck has been...

    Picked up Tebow this morning to fill in for Vick for the bye. I was sorely disappointed when I checked in at half time but then got a very pleasant surprise when CBS said Denver had made it to OT. Wound up with ~25 points!

    Certain songs won't play over DLNA??

    So after reading some more about using the Thunderbolt as a Dlna server I decided to download an app called Twonky, which on paper should not add any functionality to my phone. However, for whatever reason the songs I was not able to play worked just fine with this app. I still don't know what...

    Certain songs won't play over DLNA??

    Thanks for your help. I set up my computer to be a DLNA server and the problem files play just fine now. So I suppose my phone is the culprit here?

    Certain songs won't play over DLNA??

    Thanks for the quick reply. I suppose my phone (HTC Thunderbolt) would be the server as that is where my songs are stored. (I'm sorry if this does not answer your question, I am not very familiar with the technical parlance of DLNA.)

    Certain songs won't play over DLNA??

    I like to stream music over DLNA between my phone (HTC Thunderbolt) and my TV (Panasonic Viera ST30). It works great for 95% of my songs, however when I try to play certain tracks something goes wrong and they won't play. As a result my TV goes back to whatever input it was using previously...

    40"-46" HD 3DTV. Plasma or LED? ~$1,100

    I have owned the 46ST30 for over a month now and love it. I used the break in slides for the first 100 hours and I haven't seen any burn in. The price is far less than what you mention too.

    Receiver for Quad 22l?

    While Quad is well known for their electrostatic speakers, the 22ls are not one of them. They are "conventional" speakers. That being said, can you give me a couple of examples of decent receivers? Thanks.

    Receiver for Quad 22l?

    I am about to acquire a nice used pair of Quad 22l. Any of you audiophiles or otherwise knowledgeable people have recommendations for a receiver to drive them? I don't want super high-end stuff, just something that will do these babies justice. Hdmi is a must. I know these speakers are rated...

    Sigh...I got Peyton as my third pick as he was participating in practices when my draft occurred. Now who knows when he'll be back. I told myself "Hey, at least you were smart and got Garrard late in the draft as back up." Not so smart, it seems. And the season hasn't even started!!!

    Is Starts...NFL TRADE THREAD

    Risky move....hopefully he can get in sync with Sanchez quickly. Thankfully Holmes will take most of the heat off of him. Edwards had a rather mediocre season last year as I recall. I can't believe the Jets lost Brad Smith....he was such a great versatile weapon.

    Approximately how many electives do you feel were valuable to your education?

    What do you usually dream about?

    Most of the dreams I remember are stressful. For example, I'll be back in high school and I didn't do an assignment or something of that nature. I'll begin waking up and think "Oh man, it was just a dream I don't have any assignment." Five seconds later I realize that I haven't been in high...

    I had a much easier time understanding Cooper than the anchor interviewing him. (85% vs 45%) That being said, I wish my French was that good, even if it isn't 100% perfect.

    Shaving for work

    I shave every other day, although I do not think it would be a huge deal if I did it less frequently. It would not look good though as my beard does not grow in evenly.
