    Which blank DVD+R/-R media is best for plain backups?

    @manly if i understand it right, you are comparing taiyo yuden with prodisc ? that's like comparing honda and mercedez imo... (if the Taiyo yuden are not fake). And it's easier to analyze the result if you give us the screenshot of cd-dvd speed (use the 'capture' button at the cd-dvd speed...

    Dead - Circuit City Sound Cards - audigy/x-fi

    actually x-fi card are doing A LOT BETTER job doing 44.1->48khz sample rate conversion compared to audigy.

    Canon Powershot a520 139.20+s/h AC @Dell.com

    i find something strange, a510 price and a520 price base price (before coupon) is same, so logically after coupon it's also same (haven't tried it myself for a510), since when a510 price = a520 ?

    Rosewill ATI Radeon X800XL $289 @ Newegg

    Actually, before buying the new PSU, you might want to try it first. I've seen some people here running x800xl pci-e on a 20 pin psu. If you have stability problems, then you can prepare some cash to buy those new 24 pin pSU.

    Logitech MX700 for $29 shipped at ICT (renewed, no rebate)

    Agreed that the lag is there. I owned both MX500 & 700 and *there* is difference in response speed between the two. Added the fact that the MX700 is heavier, it become more apparent. The best solution is to try for yourself. Some people might feel it, some might not. Another thing to MX700...

    Soundcard recommendations

    my response is to the dvd audio *can't be played* on a non creative card, it *can*, however i don't realize that without creative, there's no more 96khz and 24 bit. But if the op and Parian play means play in 24/96 or 24/192 then i apologize. I can't also confirm whether multichannel support is...

    Can an AT do ATX?

    if it doesn't have an atx connector onboard (i've seen a motherboard with both at & atx power connector) by doing some modifications, i think an atx ps would work correctly, however it might not worth the trouble, alo the atx function would not work (i.e soft power,wol).

    actually, it can. go to control panel > audio hq > headphone. there's a checkbox "mute speakers when using headphones". If it's checked, then when you put headphones to live drive, the analog output goes mute.
