yeah I was talking about the pci e one. I believe its called the Dell Theater 650 Pro combo. or something like that. ive changed my mind though, im thinking the Avermedia M791. There are tons of them on ebay for 8 dollars each(mostly.). it is confirmed working with OTA. ill post a review when I...
i have an old optiplex gx620 that can play 1080p. just get an old pc with decent power supply(my shitty 310watts can work fine) and cpu(mine has P4 2.8ghz) and put a cheap graphics card in it. I have a HD 5450(1gb; fully overclocked) in mine and it works great. I can play 1080p videos in all...
Hello,
Thanks for the reply DDK, do you still have this card? If you do could you please try something for me. i don't want to waste cash on a card that doesn't work. If possible could you find a vista or xp driver, and try installing it with compatibility mode on? and then putting all the...
im thinking of buying the 650 pro for about 15 dollars no remote. Is it a good deal?
So my question is, Will it be windows 8.1 compatible or at least 8? also what is better about the 8 MCE than the 7MC? thanks to everyone
Sure there is lots of adapters for your TV. I don't think any TV has built in widi though. The Netgear Push2tv is excellent and I own this one:http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-PUSH2T...HQWSV07Y0H3HCJ
. my friend has this belkin screencast and it works equally...
ok well then I would recommend thishttp://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-TV-USB.../dp/B000VKU33S. it is dual tuner also. meaning record 2 shows at once, watch 2 shows at once, or watch a show while recording another.
You can search up some windows media center extenders. I believe you can use an xbox as one but I don't know if its HDMI. im a playstation person:P.
I am thinking of buying the Ceton Echo. Its compatible with windows 7 MC and has HDMI. It doesn't have wifi though. that might be a problem. In...
ive made my decision. Ill will buy what I listed in one of my posts + the HP mobo. im using a homemade case. Im sure that the x800gt will work as a gfx card and as a tuner. If it doesn't ill switch the graphics cards, stop being a poor ass mofo. rob someone and buy a usb tuner.
Thanks,
If...
OK. my dad is mad at me so don't think he can buy me parts. I don't have a credit card. im only 14. Maybe my friends brother can get them for me. So does anyone have any blueprints or even know if it is possible to build my own case?

How would 2 of these do me. Plus an extra no brand fan off ebay?
Will I stay cool. I plan on making grates in the wood ill be using for my case using a drill bit.
Thanks.

How about this? HP. 2 PCI, 1 PCI x1.(IS there an adapter for x16 to standard PCI. ill search and if it works then ill buy this mobo.)
I like hp...

im certain the x800 will work just fine.
I will add one fan to the front to pull in air, one in back to pull out air, and one screwed to the side of the case to blow air directly on the tuner card to keep it cool.
Will this be enough inside a wooden case.
I may even...
ok. here is my mobo:http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-OPTIPLEX-760-SFF-REPLACEMENT-MOTHERBOARD-DPN-0M863N-M863N-LGA775-WARRANTY-/331191915436?pt=Motherboards&hash=item4d1c9393ac.
It has a PCI for my X800gt and it has a PCI Express x16 for my hd 5450. is it worth it.
Here are the rest of the...
ok. also is it safe to just build my own case from wood and add fans. or are store bought ones necessary. im a cheap ass money whore and would rather get things for free. also, does anyone know if there is a windows 8/8.1 app for Netflix designed for big screen. or a win7 program
ok thanks. I don't really need a case. I have a wooden box of the exact size required for me to fit the components and to fit in my tv console. It wont overheat because ill make sure to get a bunch of fans.
So here is my mobo:(I changed my mind the OptiPlex 210l mobo is cheaper.)THe dell...
Thanks for the quick reply! I am pretty sure that my cpu is 775 but even if not I could probable pick one up for cheap.
I also forgot to tell you that I have a Radeon hd 5450 1gb with HDMI.
Basically all I have is OTA, but all the shows that I watch are there in HD(most in 1080 some in...
hello,
I am making a cheap HTPC. Here are the parts I want to buy:
-gx520 or maybe gx 280 mobo(they are trash I know but its good enough for me, $15) you tell me which is better
-P4 2.8 or 3 ghz(from my old pcs that I upgraded to e7500s)free
-unbranded fans and heatsinks(my house is cold so...
