    Upper Mid-Range Build

    Sorry Danny, I meant is it inefficient to have a larger supply than neccessary? Not 100%. Whatever version I want. Getting them through the microsoft store. Just seemed like the path of least resistance. I've used bash quite a bit (programmer) but meh. What did you have in mind?

    Upper Mid-Range Build

    How do you think the Earthwatts 650 will do on power? I ended up going with the Silverstone LC13B-E ATX Media Center/HTPC Case. Not a big fan of the excess wires but the secondary hard drive bay hides them pretty well. Will post build picks tomorrow if I don't need to rip out that PSU. About to...

    Not the sea sonic, no. It's not in yet. My old modular zalman was not compatible, apparently.

    Frys is best buy now. They just had the earthwatts 650. This is probably getting returned.

    Right, but if theres a comparability problem, I'll need a second psu to power the second board anyway.

    Upper Mid-Range Build

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'm about to run to fry's now and pick up another psu and try that. Any suggestions? ~earthwatts 430+

    Upper Mid-Range Build

    I'm stumped at the moment. I picked up a lot of equipment but for now, the relevant bits are two new i5s ($150/ea) and two ASUS P8Z68-V LX 1155 ATX ($80/ea) motherboards. I'll be using these in the "htpc" and my desktop. I got to microcenter and was thinking that the 2100T would only be about...

    Going to Fry's and Microcenter now (I live in Dallas) with a battle plan written up from this thread. If I see any of this there I'll pick it up and let you guys know. Going to get that $149 i5 combo deal for my main rig (sporadic bf3 play and mostly programming work so I really don't need an...

    Upper Mid-Range Build

    Yes! Thanks for the heads up. It's a ZALMAN 9PA6000500 modular psu. I bought it second hand. It's about 3 years old. Nah not really, I was thinking more along the lines of I didn't NEED more space since I'd just have 1 or 2 hard drives and a blu-ray. Easier builds are good though. Good point.

    Nice router. Thanks. I was also considering this: $129.99 - LIAN LI PC-V352B Black Aluminum MicroATX Desktop Case Anyone know anything about wireless extensions? This seemed like the best one @450mbps on the egg: $59.99 - TRENDnet TEW-684UB Dual Band Wireless N Adapter IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n USB...

    Just moved into a new place with an upstairs (oh nos!) and am looking to replace my old HDMI-from the desktop solution with something more robust. Is wireless streaming of compressed 1080p content via a dual band n router an option yet? Or is the attic my only option? I'll be purchasing the HTPC...

    I'd get a really nice monitor and save your money in other areas. Does he need a backup solution?

    Dual Link, High Res KVMs...exist?

    Getting exactly what you want is expensive, I needed a thinkpad bay with dual dvi outs for both my 2560 displays. I ended up getting: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0029U15GC/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/186-4000800-5788667?redirect=true...

    Dual Link, High Res KVMs...exist?

    I've got a challenge and I've done some research and far as I can tell, the solution doesn't exist in the format I want it. I'd like to take my work laptop home and hook it up to both my desktop monitors (including my 30" 3011wfp @2560) by setting it in a dock connected to a KVM.. As far as I...

    Best KVM with DisplayPort

    My current setup is an HP ThinkPad with a DP for work and a desktop with a 3011wfp (so only 1 dp input) and 19wfp in portfolio at home. Right now I'm switching the one display port manually and using a second mouse and keyboard for the second computer. It sucks. What's the best option out there...
