    Widescreen resolution problems

    My buddy has this on board video, Intel GMA 900. Perfect for what he needs. But we can't get the thing to run at 852x480 for his plasma. Have briefly tried Powerstrip but not with any success. Does anyone have any tips?

    A64 mobile or not

    Cool. (Pun intended) He's decided to go with a Winnie cuz they have pretty low thermal output and the hassle factor is quite low. Deciding on which mobo - he wants 2 Lan ports on-board so looking at options from MSI - the neo4 platinum. Thx for the input guys!

    mobile or not A64?

    Well I'm helping build a media PC for friend. No DVD watching but music and photo and web surfing. He wants noise to be kept to an absolute minimum so I suggested a mobile A64 (understanding that they run on S754 mobos) to keep heat/fan noise low. Is this a resonable option or should he just...

    What connects your HTPC to your display?

    Here's the problem, My plasma has a native widescreen resolution of 1366*768. So I just hook my PC up using the DVI port. Simple. No stretching, native widescreen. My buddy wants to buy a plasma with a non-widescreen resolution of 1024*768 and run everything (TV and all) through his HTPC...

    Most quiet next-gen card

    Need to replace the old 8500 128mg in the den. want something uber quiet so i can drop it into the living room machine shortly, so whats my best bet? 6600GT? X800? I'm looking for something with either a quiet fan or easily moddable and reasonable performance in HL2, F.E.A.R., etc... Mutt

    New cases from Coolermaster...

    the 260 looks interesting, and with a full atx mobo! Doesn't say what the PSU is, and is that some sort of riser to mount the AGP and PCI cards horizontally?

    NF-7 Northbridge fan probs

    Thx guys, gonna hunt around for the passive Northbridge solution. Can be tricky here in the Hong. Hey Korruption where do you shop for your accessories in T.O.?

    NF-7 Northbridge fan probs

    The fan on my NF-7 northbridge is failing, it makes a god-awful sound at startup but then settles down. Takes about 1 minute to get quiet. What should I replace this with? Do I need a fan? Should just get a Zalman passive heatsink? Any and all ideas thx everyone.

    zalman

    ack. that would likely prevent me from using the PCI slot for the TV tuner. One day I will build a new, full-ATX HTPC and it shall be truly silent, until then I think I must survive with clatter.

    shuttle external power supply

    does anyone know if there is a shuttle external PSU for the SN41G2?? This seems to me to be the LARGEST source of all the noise in my box. I know the Zen has one but I wonder if they sell some sort of kit to mod the SN41G2?
