    Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1600 $70 after $20 rabate

    Awesome card for the price, won't do HD cable due to the whole CableCard mess but the sensitivity is excellent. I'm pulling in stations over 100 miles away with a Channel Master 4228. I'm in VA and I'm hitting South Carolina stations despite living in a forest. As for the non DVD compliance...

    CompUSA TV Tuner Card with Remote Control, PCI

    Not to piss on OPs post.... A quick heads up for anyone going for this, if you use the card with the included software they work fine, trying to use it with anything else was a PITA at best. I bought 2 of these the last time they were $20ea in-store and they've been sitting in a box doing...

    what is this black thing on my intel motherboard?

    That's a laser emitter for fiber optic drives which run at insane RPM. In real life it's a crystal oscillator.

    Best Board for P4 640

    Capt Caveman, I was going to order the P5WD2 Premium, what don't you like about it? The only thing that's putting me off right now is the way Asus seem to be screwing everyone over with the Wifi/TV card. Premium my arse.

    Laptop CD-RW reads all disks as single file audio CD's?

    I had this problem on an old Dell I had in, try disabling DMA on the drive, for some strange reason that worked for me.

    Intel 955 Chipset boards.

    Apart from the Asus boards which are grossly overpriced right now, does anyone know of any high end boards on the horizon? I was looking at the Asus P5WD2 but for $250 without the TV/WiFi card it's too much. Thanks all.

    Maybe prob w/Intel 925XCV onboard sound...

    I have to hand it to ChiefValue, I'm on my 30th day and they're refunding my money. Time to look for a 955 board...

    I just noticed Chiefvalue stopped stocking this board. RMA time.

    Maybe prob w/Intel 925XCV onboard sound...

    I'm getting exactly the same problem. Installed latest BIOS, no change. Uninstalled Intel Audio Studio, no change. I thought it may have been a problem with my install but if someone else is having the same problem... LMK if you find a solution, I (try) to keep this system up 24/7...

    Newegg: Australia?

    No, it's more like gross misrepresentation. I doubt you'll hear from Newegg. Their attourney, maybe.

    SVC, not a hot deal but a warning. -- IMPORTANT UPDATE from SVC. AnandTech Moderator

    Lee just called me to let me know they're crediting my account for the $30. Nas called me back to check everything was OK. Was a simple mistake and I give kudos to SVC for sorting it out quickly and in a decent manner.

    SVC, not a hot deal but a warning. -- IMPORTANT UPDATE from SVC. AnandTech Moderator

    You're right, my scathing attack toward SVC was unfair and unjustified. Some of the things I may have said were out of order, I'm just glad nobody else was overcharged. I think I'll just swallow the extra $ they charged me, after all I don't want to appear as if I'm accusing them of taking...

    House MD

    If you look in a.b.multimedia.comedy.british you'll see Hugh Lauries old stuff. Everytime I see a House trailer I have to turn away, I grew up watching his comedy and can't take him seriously in this role (Even if he is a damn good actor)

    Dell have pissed me off no end.

    I agree, I suppose it was foolish of me to expect a company such as Dell to charge me for what I'd ordered and no more. Thank you all for your help on this, I'm glad I posted this here and it's good to know there are people on Anandtech who care. It's appreciated.

    Reggae4k - Here's a shiny medal for finding my other post. Why you're not a Google researcher I'll never know. I think I figured it out, either you're 12 years old or simply dumb.

    Dell have pissed me off no end.

    In the past few years I've spent a lot of my hard earned money with Dell. I've recommended their machines to friends and family who have bought Dell machines on my recommendation, but this has left me reeling. On Feb 15th 2005 I ordered some spares for a laptop at a cost of just over $125. I...

    Need help filling out customs form for USPS shipment to England

    Preston is the City, Lancashire is the county which would be the state over here. And amen to what iamwiz82 said, I'd never ship anything valuable to England ever again. Edit: Put the City/County on the same line, it'll find its way there.
