    Someone just came by and turned the power to my house off

    I was up in the loft on my PC and heard a loud "bang". Almost like the transformer blew. I immediately looked out of the window and the transformer seemed fine. I went outside and saw that the power panel was open and the main power breaker was flipped to off. As i saw that i saw a car speed...

    DirecTV NFL Package

    Long story short I got my recent DirecTV bill and it was over $200. After looking at the statement I realized this was from the NFL package and Super Fan. I called that day to cancel the super fan since i really didn't use it much the year prior. The agent first offered me a 25% discount...

    Logitech Z5500

    I am missing the power cable for the sub that drives them. The cable is similar to a standard PC power cable but has no ground in it so the end is narrower. Anyone have any idea where i can get this cable? It looks similar to the Xbox360 power cable that goes into the powerblock.

    THX Cert Speakers

    I went to THX.com and they only listed on complete set of THX speakers. This seems odd to me since THX has to do with the speakers pairings (along with other things). Anyone know where to look at/see prices of THX certified speakers?

    Smaller Speakers....Family man?

    I currently have a 5.1 set up with towers for my fronts and two 12in powered subs. As much as I love my set up I do admit it was less than nice to look at in the family room. So the fiancee (and I?) decided to get a wall unit to store the TV and to really clean the room up. Now the problem is...

    Bought a new toy

    About a month ago i decided when I bought a new car i'd trade in my 01' F-150. Well two weeks ago I went to ford and looked at the Flex. I wanted something that had the room of a SUV/Expedition but the gas mileage better than that of my F-150 and the Flex seemed to be the perfect fit. I test...
