    ATI 4xxx, HDMI Audio : questions

    I'm building a new HTPC, but have some questions as I've never pushed everything via HDMI before. ATI 4650 w/ HDMI output to reciever Onkyo 606 w/ HDMI to TV So, let's say I fire up a game on the PC...will the sound from a game automatically be passed on to the reciever via the ATI card...

    new system stability problem

    Just swapped out memory for Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800...had to set voltage to 2.15 to get it to boot. We'll see how this works...haven't gone a full day without a crash, so it shouldn't take long. I also have a corsair tx650 PSU standing by if this doesn't do the track. Keeping my fingers...

    new system stability problem

    I'm hoping someone else has run into this, or maybe have helped someone in the same situation. I recently built a new system, and I've been having odd problems (BSOD's...mostly 0x0000000a, hangs, etc)...here are the specs: Asus P5E (right out of the box, no mods, bios 0702) Intel e8400...

    New TV, now need new reciever...

    Just went through your sticky thread...just got a real education...i totally missed it before, but I'm really glad I've read it now. One thing that really hit home: "The center channel is far more important and handles something like 70% of the sound from a typical DVD." I had...

    New TV, now need new reciever...

    Thanks to both for responding. I really do like my current Onkyo, and I'm thinking this should be a nice step up. I'll start hunting for a good price on this unit. As far as speakers, I'm thinking these need to be refreshed as well. I have the standard speakers that came with the HTIB...

    New TV, now need new reciever...

    Just picked up a new Samsung 5054 for my first big TV...gotta say it's nice to have this after using a 32" tube for several years, all the while suffering while all my friends and family were already enjoying their big TV's. Anywho, I now realize that my current AVR (an Onkyo 530? I...

    How do you make a customer happy?

    Byronm, Just the fact that you are seeking feedback from these forums shows that you actually do care about your customers. That, IMHO, puts you heads and shoulders above many of the outfits doing business out there. I think it comes down to this: If you and your employees make an honest...

    suggestion?

    ARGH! Had a friend who had a bad experience with this same PSU, so I'm not too sure. I know one experience does not accurately represent a product. But just in case...if price was not a limiting factor, are there any "superior" brand PSU's (Corsair, etc) that have modular connectors and the...

    IP camera options?

    I was asked to setup a wireless/IP camera system recently, and I know pretty much nothing about this subject. I scanned these forums, and there doesn't seem to be much help here. First, if there is a website that can provide more info/reviews/etc on IP based wireless cameras, I'd appreciate...

    suggestion?

    Yup, I've decided to go with the ABS Tagan BZ Series BZ800. Found it via Pricegrabber at ChiefPick.com for $182.99, and drops to 157.99 after $25 MIR (valid 3/1 to 5/1). Link to site: http://www.chiefpick.com/Produ...p?ProductCode=PS-BZ800 Seems to be a fairly good deal for this unit...

    Wow...this one is nice, and got good reviews too. But the prices seem steep. I may watch for a while and see if a special deal on these comes around. Thanks!

    suggestion?

    So, I've caught the "bug" after building a new system for a friend after being away from the PC scene for a few years. I'm spec'ing out a new system for myself to replace my old machine. On the subject of PSU, I'm getting caught up to speed (fantastic info in this forum) quickly. I'm...

    Anyone in the Warhammer Online Beta?

    I expect Warhammer Online to be filler...until the next big thing comes along. Conan looks promising, but I don't think it will be revolutionary like EQ was. Best bet: Lots of buzz right now about Kurt Schilling's "38 Studios". He's gathering the dream team (R.A. Salvatore for content...

    Building a MicroATX-based server

    Zap pointed me in what I think is a good direction on a mATX system I'm currently building for a friend of mine. The ASUS P5E-VM HDMI board, the Apevia X-QPACK2 case (stock 500W PS, but you may want something better), and a Q6600 or Xeon X3350 (equiv of Q9450) seem like great choices. Also...

    Aspire X-QPACK2 alternative?

    Thanks to everyone for suggestions so far. Zap: The NZXT Rouge looks pretty awesome. As far as mATX vs ATX, I was under the impression that mATX offered less features as compared to ATX. So I did some digging on my own, and found several boards (including the ASUS you noted) that will more...

    Aspire X-QPACK2 alternative?

    I was asked by a friend to build a new system. They really loved the Aspire X-QPACK2...and I don't blame them...I've not seen the case in person, but the pics I've seen on the web are pretty sweet. Very cool case, but the limiting factor seems to be the size and the fact that it appears this is...

    server suggestions?

    Dell really isn't that bad. Granted, they're no IBM or HP, but they'll get the job done for less money. If I needed world class top tier support, and money was no object, then I'd likely stay away from them. But since my budget is limited and I don't need 5 9's of uptime or anything, they are OK...
