    VOIP and faxing?

    I'm just about to switch to a VOIP setup for telephony, but I need to know if anyone has tried a fax machine with one of the main providers (vonage, packet8). Anybody?

    MCE2005 - No 5.1 for DVD?

    I've searched and searched, but maybe I'm using the wrong search terms.... I bought the latest nVidia decoder, without reading that it downmixes to 2 channel in MCE. I tried PowerDVD XP, and WinDVD Platinum (version 5 and 6) which work fine in 5.1 outside of MCE, but when I play a DVD in...

    To optical, or not - that is the question (among others)

    Nope - no receiver route as of yet - I do have somewhat of a budget, and I'm putting it towards other things in the HTPC that just sound....only because I've had good experiences with 5.1 sets in my office, and the living room is not too much bigger :D

    To optical, or not - that is the question (among others)

    So, I've spent the last hour or so reading almost every thread in this section, and still can't find the info I'm looking for. I'm building a HTPC for my living room, and the only thing I can't decide on is speakers. I'll be getting an ASUS A7N8X-E deluxe (soundstream) and naturally figure...

    Finally building a HTPC - comments on selected hardware, please!

    As far as the keyboard/mouse goes, I absolutely do NOT want a traditional mouse. I want a keyboard with either a touchstick/touchpad built in. And it's about 6' from the entertainment center to the couch, so I shouldn't have too many issues with range. Does anybody know of any keyboard...

    Finally building a HTPC - comments on selected hardware, please!

    pcalchemy.com has the 150s for about 65 each :) As for the vid card, that was honestly my biggest concern - I have no clue how much power I'm going to need. Granted, I'm only going to be using the Svideo-out to my TV (which will probably run 800x600 or 1024x768 MAX.) Hey, saving a few...

    Finally building a HTPC - comments on selected hardware, please!

    I've been building PC's for quite a few years, but it seems that the whole HTPC thing is a different animal. So far, I've compiled a list of hardware that I think will work well - just need some comments from you experienced guys to see how I'm doing...I want to make sure that it will be...

    Need some ideas...planning to cool my server rack.

    I've got a home office (software development, web development, small hosting) with 4 servers. The fan noise generated from these machines is about to drive me crazy. I haven't even looked at watercooling before, so I'm about the biggest n00b at the moment. Would it be possible (or...

    Faster clock or wider memory bus...which one is more important?

    I'm looking at either a GFFX 5700 Ultra or the 5900XT - Granted, the 5700 has a faster clock on both the processor and mem and DDR2, but the 5900 has a 256-bit mem pipeline. Which should I be more concerned with? Current specs: AthlonXP 2600+ Barton @ 2.25Ghz (204.6 FSB) 1 Gig Corsair...
