    So, who's winning the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray format war?

    Who's winning the format war? Why DVD is silly. HD-DVD/ Blu-Ray currently only account for about 1% of disc sales

    Upgrading from 27" tube TV finally! Need some advice!

    If you have $2k to spend you could do something like I did. I purchased a 37" Westy for about $875 and a Mits HD1000u projector for $865 The Westy gets used when I'm not actively watching anything and the projector when I plan on sitting down and watching something.

    Oppo DV-981HD dvd players. are they any good?

    I'd say the current Toshiba HD players do. I have the Oppo 981 and the Toshiba HD A2 and I consider the A2 better at upscaling. The Toshiba HD XA2 is considered to be equal to if not better than a $4k video processor/scaler. TEST RESULTS ON UPSCALING: XA2 vs. SDI+Crystallio 2

    drilling 120mm blowhole in populated case

    If you have the space and can somehow manage it , try clamping a piece of wood to the underside of the top. Should help to really cut down the mess on the inside as long as you don't drill through the wood.

    Any idea where to find copper sleeving?

    Another idea is to get some of the tinned sleeving and then just electro plate it with copper.

    Ubuntu Resolution?

    The Live disc lets you pick a resolution to use when it boots up. Did it not give you that option? At least the 64 bit version did for me.
