    Upgrade time. Time to go SFF or stay ATX for gaming rig?

    Well, I consider Shuttle XPCs to be SFF. I understand you're talking more along the lines of Mini-ITX style SFF. And that's definitely not what I mean, nice as they may be. It would be the Shuttle SN25P if I get one.

    Upgrade time. Time to go SFF or stay ATX for gaming rig?

    Well I'm at loss on this one. I have one Shuttle XPC that I use as a media center and I love the thing - quiet, small, works like a charm. But I'm a little wary of going the SFF route for a gaming system. So basically I'm deciding between a Lian-Li /DFI nF4 Ultra combo or an SN25P...

    9800 Pro dying... I think. Temporary replacement ideas?

    9800 Pro dying... I think. Temporary replacement ideas?

    Seems my 9800 Pro has decided it's time to slowly drift off into the here-after. I'm starting to get artifacts and distortions all over the screen and my system won't even reboot unless I hold F8 and use a previous configuration (graphics are still corrupted even then). Problem is I wasn't...

    cannot connect to 1 website

    It's not one website. Try to connect to www.penny-arcade.com and some other sites and you'll have the same problem. It has to do with a dispute between Level 3 and Cogent, which for many internet users has pretty much split off a section of the Internet and made it inaccessable. You can...

    Where can I buy a Zippy EL-720 keyboard?

    That sounds perfect! I liked that keyboard since I first saw it, but was turned off by edge lighting. I want something that highlights letters. And with as much typing as I do, and the way the letters always wear off my keyboards, etching would be ideal.

    Where can I buy a Zippy EL-720 keyboard?

    The room this system is in has very poor lighting. Glowing keys would be a godsend.

    Where can I buy a Zippy EL-720 keyboard?

    Thanks for all the help. There are certain features unique to the EL-720 that were the reasons for my choosing it. Among them were: * Real aluminum upper casing. * White, as opposed to clear keys. (I think the white gives the letters more definition as opposed to seeing all the...

    Where can I buy a Zippy EL-720 keyboard?

    That's in New Zealand. I'll pay an arm and a leg in shipping. Something a little closer to home would be nice. :D

    Where can I buy a Zippy EL-720 keyboard?

    Text I'm interested in buying one of these keyboards, and they appear on the Zippy website, but I can't find a place that sells them. Does anyone know where I can get one? Edit: Oh, and I'm in the US. :D

    Mac Mini $494

    I think a lot of you are really being overcritical and have your expectations too high. I'm a PC user - never owned a Mac - but for a secondary system to be hooked up to a flat panel TV or the like for email, web browsing, movies, MP3s, etc this is a great little clutter-free device. Instead...

    In STOCK Philips DVP642 Progessive Scan DVD w/ DivX Playback $62.94 shipped

    I actually picked this up on Amazon a week ago and got it in Wednesday. I couldn't be more pleased with the thing - it plays all DivX formats (3,4,5), XVid, MPEG4, MP3 - really, you name it, it plays it. One lesser known feature is that it has a data CD/DVD browser menu system built in, so...

    AMMO!

    The one time I shot this type of Winchester it jammed the shotgun. It was an Ithaca Model 37. I don't know if it was the ammo or if it just didn't agree with that shotgun in particular, but it's the only shotgun ammo I've had trouble with like that.

    Linux is a long way from mainstream. (Suse 9.1/nVidia/codecs problems)

    Well that's easier said than done for a noob because I don't know enough to know. :D But what I can say is that on further inspection Suse seems to recognize all aspects of my sound device, including the existence of the S/PDIF port judging by the inclusion of various "IEC958" options in the...

    Linux is a long way from mainstream. (Suse 9.1/nVidia/codecs problems)

    Suse actually comes with Xine. In fact, that seems to be the default program for video under it. It just doesn't have the codecs that I need installed. I tried the ALSA website but didn't have much luck finding what I needed. The Soundstorm is a Realtek ALC650 which I don't see listed on...

    Nero & Windows writing 24x CDs at 40x.

    I have a TDK 52X CDRW drive. Over the past few days, I've been backing up files on Fuji 700 meg CD-Rs. On the packaging, it says the disks are compatible up to 24x. But Nero defaults to 40x on these disks, and judging by the write speed so does XP's built in writing utility. I didn't even...

    Indiana Jones Box Set - $29.99 at Best Buy

    I don't know if this was a fluke or what, but this was the deal I got yesterday. It said $56.99 on the package, but apparently it's selling now for $49.99, with a mail in rebate for a $20 Best Buy gift card (if you shop at BB as much as I do, then it's as good as money, anyway. :D ) effectively...

    Building an RCA & stereo jack bus.

    So that's what they're called! Thank you, I didn't know what I needed to be searching for. Although, none of the ones I'm seeing have standard RCA outs on the back of the plug - and I'm not certain how to connect the cables to the back without them. :( I opened up an RCA cable I had laying...

    Building an RCA & stereo jack bus.

    I need a little bit of help or advice with a panel I'm about to build. I intend to play console games in a window on my new Shuttle XPC, but for convenience I want to turn the 3.5 inch bay into a "plug bus" and run the cables through the box internally, and then out the back to plug into the...

    Playing X-Box/PS2 in a window - need delay-less video adapter.

    I still need a good suggestion here. Some device, preferably a USB or firewire device of some sort (or PCI if necessary), that will allow me to play PS2/GC/X-Box games in a window on my PC monitor without a delay.

    Playing X-Box/PS2 in a window - need delay-less video adapter.

    Considering I already have a Hauppauge PVR 250 to record TV and only need a real time video viewer device (without delay), would something like this: http://www.usbdiscount.com/avermdvdezusb.html work? I've seen similar devices at CompUSA but I don't know if there's any lag time with them.

    Playing X-Box/PS2 in a window - need delay-less video adapter.

    Well I've run into an unexpected snag in my attempt to run everything through my HTPC box. And it's an ugly one. I didn't realize that the Hauppauge PVR 250 had a 1-1.5 second delay for the video decoding to take effect, and as you can imagine it's impossible to play a game with such a...

    Networking two computers with a BEFW11S4?

    Help with widescreen resolution under SuSE/KDE

    All right, I was looking at the wrong area in the config file. I put the "1280@768@60Hz" under the 24 bit depth section, but not being familiar with the lingo I wasn't fully aware of the modeline section. I've now found it. New problem: I used the modeline generator URL supplied above...

    Help with widescreen resolution under SuSE/KDE

    I tried that and still no go. I really think the problem is that, under LCD's, I only get standard 4:3 resolution choices. There is no 1280x768@60Hz under the LCD displays section, so I can't set my desktop to it. -J
