  1. How would you arrange this living room?

    Yeah I could tell you were thinking along the same lines. I actually drew the picture because it didn't look like people understood when you were explaining what you meant. As for where the TV is centered, my gut says centered on the room will be better than centered on the wall. I feel...
  2. How would you arrange this living room?

    My first thought was to put the tv on the long wall, but I think it might actually work better like this: It makes the viewing area a little more self contained and separates it from the dining area, and I think it might be a bit easier to lay out the speakers. Using the long wall, I'm not...
  3. Car system help!!!! Please

    Capacitors can help, but they are more of a band-aid fix. If the battery is that old, replacing it with a newer one may also help, and I would probably recommend it before a cap (after all, you are going to need a new battery anyway - probably sooner than later) One of the best, cheapest...
  4. USB Flash Drives

    When Pioneer first started adding USB ports to the head units I remember that they specified the use of FAT32. I personally just grabbed a cheap 32GB drive from MicroCenter and have been using it with the Sync system in my Mustang for years now. That system has the huge added benefit of voice...
  5. HTPC versus Home PC

    I highly recommend you put the i7 in the gaming machine, esp if you are playing games like BF4 that love hyperthreading. Having 16Gb on the office machine will help since you specifically said you heavily multitask on that box. I don't think you are going to see a huge difference in terms of...
  6. Razer Kraken Pro Surround Audio problem.

    AFAIK the Kraken Pro just has a single analogue 3.5mm input jack. If that is the case, the issue is not with the headphones, but with the sound card. What I suspect is that you are setting your sound card to surround sound, even though you don't have anything plugged into the center/sub or...
  7. absolutely no response from mouse on white ikea desk...anyone ever heard of this?

    I have the Anywhere Mouse MX that works wonderfully on a glass coffee table that no mouse I tried previously worked on at all. I don't think I ever tried it on a white glossy surface, but it seems like glass would be even more difficult to track on...
  8. HTPC versus Home PC

    yeah you definitely want the more powerful CPU on the rig doing video encoding. One of the few applications that will use every last drop of CPU power available. I would also hope you would be adding storage drives to the HTPC for media, and probably use those drives fro ripping as well...
  9. Get cat5 cable connection to receiver

    Powerline network transmits ethernet signals over the houses existing electrical wiring. Here's a bunch of adaptors on newegg, but i havent done much research into which ones are the best: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=-1&isNodeId=1 As for Bridges, most wifi range extenders will...
  10. WiFi Interference?

    What I read about the APs in particular was that you have to install the Java based application on one PC on the network to set them up (the software is included), but after that the software doesn't need to be run and the APs are fine on their own. I know there are several threads about the...
  11. mobo heatsink question....

    Those heatsinks are for cooling the CPU's power supply components (similar to the VRMs on a GPU). They are often mounted using springs (as are many CPU heatsinks) as the springs help even the pressure load and keep the heatsink mounted with the correct amount of tension. I'd guess that you're...
  12. HTPC versus Home PC

    Hmm, another option you might consider is simply using integrated graphics on the office PC and crossfire the 7850 and 7870 on the gaming PC. Integrated gpu will be fine with two monitors as long as you aren't doing any gaming or other GPU intensive tasks.
  13. WiFi Interference?

    I keep hearing great things about these Ubiquity Unifi enterprise access points: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0010-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0063-_-Product More expensive than that TP link bridge, but half the price of a second router. Plus, if you really...
  14. Get cat5 cable connection to receiver

    If running Cat5 cable downstairs is not an option, then what you are looking for is an Wifi bridge. Basically the opposite of an access point, it is an ethernet switch that connects to a wifi network. I've heard that bridges work best when they match the brand of the router/AP you are using...
  15. 5.1 audio over SPDIF

    Absolutely, if the video you are watching has a AC3/DD or DTS track and you set up Media Center or whatever video player you are using to pass the AC3 bitstream through. Normal system sounds, games and music will only play in stereo, unless your motherboard features DD Live or DTS Connect...
  16. Upgrading old E8400 build - $800 budget

    Absolutely! The Sapphire Tri-X and Vapor-X are the marks to beat when it comes to 290X coolers.
  17. HDMI vs HTPC and older HDMI 1.2 AVR

    HDMI 1.2 should support up to 1920 x 1200 @60hz, so 1080p should be no problem. Have you already tried it and are having problems getting the display to run at 1080p, or are you just expecting it to have issues?
  18. Does PC audio out via HDMI work?

    Right, so that's why we were asking what video card you have in your HTPC. Since your talking about getting a new Motherboard and CPU you should be fine. All of the Intel stuff since..uhh whenever they first put the GPU on-die...has had 7.1LPCM and HD audio capabilities. Certainly a new...
  19. Does PC audio out via HDMI work?

    Right, this is why I was asking what card he had. For example, the ATI's HD3800 and 4800 series could output SPDIF and 2 Channel LPCM audio over HDMI, but it wasn't until the HD 5000 series that they added HDMI 1.3, 7.1 channel LPCM and High definition audio. The earlier Nvidia cards that...
  20. Does PC audio out via HDMI work?

    What specific video card will you be using for HDMI output?
  21. Onkyo ht r 390

    Make sure you go through the audio settings on your new bluray player and make sure nothing is set to "Downmix". This is the default for most players and will keep digital audio bitstreaming from working correctly.
  22. Help me select a sound option on my receiver

    OK so here are some settings to check on the BR player under Audio Settings: Audio Output Priority: HDMI Audio (HDMI): Auto DTS: DTS (make sure it's not set to Downmix PCM) Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital (make sure it's not set to Downmix PCM) Downmix: Dolby Surround
  23. Help me select a sound option on my receiver

    Make sure the Bluray player is set to "bitstream" digital audio and not "downmix" or something like that. It will be in the bluray players main settings menu, usually under audio -> digital audio. A lot of bluray and dvd players do not set bitstream by default. Depending on the Bluray disc...
  24. Do I need deterministic network enhancer?

    Dude, this thread is from 2002 - necro does not begin to cover it. 12 years has got to be some kind of record.
  25. How can i enable Eyefinity with this combo?

    It might be easiest to use an HDMI to DVI adapter / cable and not bother with the DP port at all. A passive DP adapter should work just fine, though. If you are using higher than 1080P resolution you will need an active adapter. Stay away from HDMI in that case, as well.
  26. Graphic cards for a 9-screen setup, advice needed!

    There's some good info in that thread, and this sounds like it might be the most sure-fire way to get it running. The odd thing is the guy said he used three TripleHead2Go Digital SE with 2 monitors connected to each one, and the other three monitors connected directly to the card (I assume...
  27. Graphic cards for a 9-screen setup, advice needed!

    That firepro W600 was the only one I saw that explicitly said it was designed to link to a second card and create a Single Large Surface display of up to 12 monitors. That sounds like exactly what you are trying to do. I think with the Eyefinity cards you will be able to run all 9 monitors...
  28. Graphic cards for a 9-screen setup, advice needed!

    Nice find, a pair of these might be the winner. From the site: It still needs the active adapters, but they do make a 6 adapter kit just for this card: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Firepro-Di.../dp/B008LR52LG Since this is Mini DP to DVI, it may still be easier to by 6 DP -> HDMI individualy.
  29. Graphic cards for a 9-screen setup, advice needed!

    Getting a pair of these Eyefinity 6 cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-274-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-262-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-586-_-Product will probably work just as well and save you some money (esp compared to that Matrox...
  30. Alien Isolation -- AMD/Nvidia Performance Comparison

    To be fair, the game just released on Steam yesterday. I received and activated my code for it, I just didn't feel like downloading 24GB (if I remember from the Steam installation dialogue) yesterday to start playing it.
  31. Wat is VRam?

    OK, here's the basics: Your motherboard has a CPU and RAM, connected to each other by a very fast connection. The video card plugs into the PCIE bus, which is a very slow connection when compared to that CPU <-> RAM connection. So the video card, which is like its own little motherboard with...
  32. charging vs. data? USB 3 ports

    Be aware though that the charging amperage rating on a USB port will vary based on if it is USB1/2/3, what brand motherboard, and really a lot of other variables. The amperage will change, but the voltage will always be 5v. If it's on a pc, all USB ports are going to support both data and...
  33. High Res Monitors

    Actually, the first bit about having pixels made of individual RGB lights sound exactly like an AMOLED display like what are found on Samsung Galaxy S phones. Here's what those screens look like under magnification: You can read about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMOLED OLED TVs...
  34. Signal loss issue

    What kind of receiver is it? I had an issue on my slightly older Onkyo (that turned out to be a common issue on that model - SR606 I think?), caused by failing capacitors on the HDMI board. It wold do the same thing where either the picture and sound would cut out looking for signal, or just...
  35. 4K and the HTPC

    Since you liked the Vizio you previously had, you might take a look at their just announced P series 4K tvs with HDMI 2.0 and full array LED with local dimming. $999 for the 50" and $1699 for the 60" is going to make them hard to beat. I'm waiting to see some full reviews come out, but they...
  36. Is it possible to create your own sound card from various parts?

    What's the point in spending $50k building your own sound card and having it slapped together like that? Sound card manufacturers put a lot of money and research into designing their PCBs to minimize noise/cross talk/etc - there's a reason for that. There just wouldn't be any point to the...
  37. Installing 2 graphics cards?

    So, looking into the 775 SFF, they came with Core 2 cpu's, so it sounds like the OP has a discrete 2400 Pro, and tried to install the modem in the PCI slot next to it. Moneer, when you look at the back of your PC, does the cable going to the monitor plug into the blue square port in the middle...
  38. Is the Denon AVR-S500BT 5.2 Channel a good receiver for this setup?

    Good call on the lack of Audyssey on the Denon.
  39. Is the Denon AVR-S500BT 5.2 Channel a good receiver for this setup?

    Depending on the space you have you might look into the 55t as rear surrounds. I have a similar setup with the older (but very similar) Monitor 70 in front and Monitor 50 in rear and like it a lot. I personally much prefer a small tower in rear than a bookshelf or more traditional surround on...
  40. need help with identifying HDMI cable please

    Generally no, you can't daisy chain boxes together. There are a few exceptions, like the XBox One and obviously AV Receivers with HDMI, but for the most part things just do not have an HDMI input.
