    What components needed for first HTPC?

    Bro, this is a really easy question to answer and understand if you are proficient with pc's at all. EVERY non-necessary thing you add to or do to a pc changes it a bit. Adding Microsoft Office in and of itself will effect a pc(effect an htpc negatively). Actually run those programs and...

    WIntergreen P4 Barebone fr: Tigerdirect

    TD and Wintergreen suck ballz. I bought a system from them for my folks who needed a basic internet kiosk that plays music. I had them buy a 700.00 system and the thing was crap. Had to RMA it twice and fight with TD who kept referring us to Wintergreen who has support only in limited...

    Ultra X Connect-> First Hand Experiences Only

    Just to add a few things. 1. Here is the link to the psu which is a powmax. Notice the nice ultra grills they slapped on there and pretty finish so the girls can check their makeup. http://www.powmax.com/mainpower.htm 2. Ultra doesn't manufacture products, they rebadge. Consider them the...

    Need New Speakers

    While you only need a 2.1 system, I'd say grab the x-530's. They really are excellent at about 58 bucks shipped from monarch. http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=250234&AFFIL=pg&NR=1

    home theater system-39.99 - DEAD

    I need to get in on this if my CC has them still. I could use this for the guest bedroom. At 42 bucks if the DVD player actually works its a good buy. I have a nice system for the living room and a solid system for my bedroom but the wife would flip if I spent real money on the guest...

    new computer?, what do u think ??

    I wouldn't try to game and use HTPC on one box. The high end gaming vid cards aren't the best for HT and vice versa. You need the capture card obviously so that will limit your card choices. Since you already have those boxes, I'd upgrade xp1500 to something like a 3100 and use it for...

    x800 vs 6800 GT

    Thats where I'm at too. Both lines are excellent. This isn't Intel vs. AMD we are talking about. Gamers can and will benefit from either card and either line. To me the bigger issue is which card to get within the line and if you get soem freebie crap like 4 full games. If I spend 400...

    bfg 6600gt oc OR evga 6600gt + hl2

    Get the BFG. It comes OC'd so is warranted at that speed. It has a lifetime warranty and offers much better cooling. IF you go eVGA you need to buy the after market HSF anyways so price would be similar for similar performance. I would add that I really like the Leadtek 6600 GTs...

    which one

    Don't sweat which card is supposed to be better. Tell your Dad he got you the right one and that it rocks. He obviously cared enough to try and make your day, make his. Then look up the exact card you got and see how to get the most from it by installing he latest drivers et al.

    Newegg is making me nervous!

    Feel free to shop NE for mobo's. Feel free to advise friends and family to. While you are worried about subsidizing jobs I am worried about getting quality customer service for parts I purchase. I wouldn't be buying computer parts if I couldn't afford to pay for quality. The beautiful thing...
