    Best CPU/GPU combo for the cost and power consumption

    Yes. For the first time ever, power consumption will matter to me. I am moving out and utilities are no longer free. I want a desktop (yes a desktop, not another notebook), and I am going mini-atx for space reasons. To the point, I don't want my desktop consuming tons of energy. So if there...

    Lets have a debate: Why don't you guys seem to game on HTPC's?

    I think I am going to go ahead with a new computer build. A mini-atx or HTPC case, intel core 2 duo or quad, maybe ddr3....., gtx260, 1.5tb hard drive. My room is honestly really noisy and I have a desk on wheels that I turn around and watch T.V. with and do homework on already.

    Lets have a debate: Why don't you guys seem to game on HTPC's?

    Since most of our archival needs are outside of the capabilities most cases offer.... I would figure a SAN or NAS expandable storage system would be the way to go for storage......

    Lets have a debate: Why don't you guys seem to game on HTPC's?

    I might also add that my HTPC would be in the same room as a E6600 with 5x120mm fans running at full blast, and at least 1 other desktop running at the same time, and up to 2 laptops..... So my room is quiet noisy to begin with....

    Lets have a debate: Why don't you guys seem to game on HTPC's?

    Well I have recently received a 55" Vizio T.V., I know Vizio right? Sucks huh? But the T.V. was free (not kidding ya here, week 21 winner of the vizio sweepstakes). I have always wanted a nice TV and then to be able to run video out at 1080p or 720p, and then yes....game on my HTPC. I've...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500030 N330 version of the Zotac board is out now coming in at $189. Finally a choice worth getting.......almost The Z550 with intel vt and 2ghz of speed. also 2.4w vs 8w for the n330. But only half a meg of L2 instead of a full meg...

    E6600; upgrade to e8400 or not

    I would wait. I am in the same boat as you. E6600 although I do not run in 1920x1080. I fortunately only run 1680x1050. Anyways I think if we wait a little longer we will get a better bang for our buck when we do upgrade. My friend with an E6600 just upgraded to a GTX260 and he says it has...

    what is it like 8 watts of TDP for the GPU and the CPU?

    Nvidia Ion

    I know the attention is elsewhere, but I think the "future" is here...Nvidia and Intel really playing ball in the ultra small computing environment with limited power consumption. If you look at the roadmap for Intel's Atom chip, it seems like by 2010 we will have plenty of CPU head room...

    Nvidia Ion

    Clips on youtube show a lot of promise I think but they were Nvidia demos and they probably paired it up with a decent CPU. Never owned an Atom chip and was just wondering if anyone ever went out and made the ultimate mini HTPC

    Nvidia Ion

    That and I saw the Acer Revo and was thoroughly impressed by its size, and was wondering if anyone was able to shed any light on to how this Atom chip and Ion GPU would perform in a HTPC environment. Doing 1080p or 720p playback, some light video game usage, web browsing, yeah yeah.

    Nvidia Ion

    Anyone build any micro ITX HTPC PC's with the Zotec motherboard yet? Nvidia Ion in general....why not an Atom cpu and an Ion GPU?
