    In wall wiring options.

    Makes sense for a theater room. But its a family room and we are going for a no wires, no device, no "what is that door in the wall for" look. All wires including AC should come out of the recessed mount and travel thru the mount's cable management in the extension arms to the back of the TV. So...

    In wall wiring options.

    I don't think I want a wireless extender for the IR remotes, if that's what you mean. I read stories about problems with interference with other wireless. Since the walls are open and I'm stinging either HDMI or cat6/7, I'd like to hard wire the extenders. I have found what I think is a...

    In wall wiring options.

    Hi, I'm a complete amateur at this so have some questions about running wires in walls and relocating sources to another room. For years we have had a 67" Samsung LED DLP on a console that contained a full tower HTPC, a Blu-Ray player, a DISH satellite box and two large UPSs, one for the...

    Samsung F4 2TB HD204UI firmware?

    Thanks sempur. I think I better update mine. I subsequently read on another forum that Dec 2010 drives will need it. That same forum had a link to the US firmware on the Seagate site that worked. That thread also said the Japanese version of the firmware does update the version number. I'm not...

    Samsung F4 2TB HD204UI firmware?

    Sorry to resurrect. I just found out about this issue. I have a Samsung HD204UI rev A drive dated 2010.12. The links to firmware in this thread are dead so I went to the Seagate site. It has a page to download files based on a drive model and serial number. It says my serial number doesn't...

    New build won't stay powered up

    I took a 6400 out of a Dell I have and stuck it in this build. It fired right up. So the problem with the E7200 is definitely a combination of BIOS and/or CPU. With the 6400 in it, I flashed the latest ASUS BIOS that says it supports the E7200 and stuck the E7200 back in. Now I...

    New build won't stay powered up

    Thanks MTDEW and KGBMAN I reseated the CPU. Still keeps turning on and off. While out, I carefully looked for any bent pins on the MB (although I don't know why they are called pins in a 775). All looked good. I removed the MB from the case completely and sat it on the ant-static bag it...

    New build won't stay powered up

    New build. When powered up for the 1st time all fans spun up for about a second then shut off. Four or five seconds later, they spin again for a second and the cycle keeps repeating. Here's the components (all new) and what I've done to troubleshoot: ASUS P5B MB E7200 retail CORSAIR...

    XMS2 memory in a Dell 9200

    Didn't think you were bad mouthing but were getting off topic. Since you asked, Dell doesn't make it practical to add memory to the system. If you specify any extra memory, you lose the "free" upgrade to 1GB and end hence up paying close to $300/GBG for cr@p ram. And their memory is no bargain...

    XMS2 memory in a Dell 9200

    Okayyyyy. But does anyone have any idea if the XMS memory will work? o1die, you can PM me if you want to know why I bought a Dell and why I didn't order it with more memory or why I won't be buying memory upgrades from them.

    XMS2 memory in a Dell 9200

    I have a Dell 9200 on the way and need to add memory to the MB. I've heard that their are lots of problems between different DDR2 DIMMs and MB chipsets but can't seem to find if a particular memory will work. I want to use this memory: Link but not if it won't work (duh). I've asked at...

    [DEAD - OOS] Frys.com: Corsair DDR2 2GB XMS2-5400 $159.99 +S&H ($199.99-$40MIR)

    I have a Dell 9200 on the way. I've heard there are lots of compatibility issues with DDR2 and different chip sets. Does anyone know if this will/should work with the Dell 9200? I know I can't overclock the Dell but this is the cheapest DDR2 I'm aware of and it seems silly to buy Corsair's...

    48-Hour Sale @ Amazon -- September 18 and 19 only

    The Dyson 14 arrived today. Pretty quick. Not complaining, but from all the reviews I expected something almost indistinguishable from new. Not even close. The hose was semi crimped in several places. There were numerous scuffs and scrapes. The attachments still had dust bunnies in them! It...

    Windows OneCare Security Suite

    I bought 3 when they were $9 each. Don't intend to use them for nearly a year when the Trend Micro expires on our 3 PCs. Why did I buy 3 and why so in advance? Yes, I know one copy covers 3 PCs. But unlike Norton, McAfee, Trend, et al, you aren't buying programs that get replaced every year...

    Dell 9200 Core 2 Duo Desktop 19in LCD $799

    I ordered the 9200 and will just use the PC I'm using now for DVD work until there are cheap, verifiably good SATA DVD burners. I can live with the Dell price but if it turns out its not a good burner it changes a good deal into a bad one 'cause I'd be out $57 PLUS the cost of whatever drive I...

    Why is it easier to climb Everest than add a DVD burner to a new PC? ;-)

    I'm gonna order the SATA only PC anyway and keep doing my DVD work on the PC I'm using now until there are some cheap verrifiably good SATA DVD burners. Thanks to all posters.

    Why is it easier to climb Everest than add a DVD burner to a new PC? ;-)

    I find that hard to believe! Next you'll be telling me the reason characters in movies with hooks for lost hands sometimes stick out far beyond the natural hand is because the actor didn't REALLY have the hand cut off for the sake of realism.

    Why is it easier to climb Everest than add a DVD burner to a new PC? ;-)

    And thanks Zepper! I was in a hurry and first thought you were referencing a different thread. Thanks for posting who made the Dell drive and a better source for Plextors. So now my worst case scenario is $85 for a Plextor. That's better than $100+ but still enough to turn this good 9200 deal...

    Dell 9200 Core 2 Duo Desktop 19in LCD $799

    Hey thanks! I've been going in circles trying to find out who made the Dell DVD burner. Combined with the concensus that ALL currently available SATA DVD burners are PATA models with a bridge built in, my best choice seems to be add an external bridge to one of my BENQs that has been...

    Why is it easier to climb Everest than add a DVD burner to a new PC? ;-)

    I'm on my way as soon as I have a minute (going out the door now). That's very usefull as far as taking out some variables. Do you or anybody know of any published tests of PATA burners using one of the extrnal bridges? Obviously an extra translation/conversion in the chain is a chance to...

    Why is it easier to climb Everest than add a DVD burner to a new PC? ;-)

    Yeah, Dell sells the same drive (via Sony) for the same price. Wish I could also find out who makes Dell's DVD burner. Arrrgh! If its also made by Lite-on, I'd take a chance on it (unless I find out its just one of their PATA drives with a built-in PATA to SATA adapter). FWIW: The manufacture...

    Why is it easier to climb Everest than add a DVD burner to a new PC? ;-)

    I mentioned them in my post. What's missing is credible evidence they work well with burners. Even the tiny number of reviews at places like Newegg are almost exclusively by people using them for HDs. You probably wouldn't even notice (or care) about a few retrys on a HD but the same problem...

    Why is it easier to climb Everest than add a DVD burner to a new PC? ;-)

    Am aware of them but not available in the US. Plus I've read speculation they are just a PATA drive with a PATA-to-SATA adapter built in. IF that's true (don't know), I'd rather just add an adapter to the flawlessly performing PATA burners I alrerady own.

    Why is it easier to climb Everest than add a DVD burner to a new PC? ;-)

    I was/am almost ready to buy a new PC when I noticed it didn't have ANY PATA onboard. At first I liked that. Yeah, I'd have to buy a new DVD burner but that shouldn't be a big deal, right? I spent hours trying to find a reasonably priced, indepenndently reviewed SATA DVD burner. They don't...

    Dell 9200 Core 2 Duo Desktop 19in LCD $799

    Want to pull the trigger but not until I find a deal on a SATA DVD burner, since the 9200 has NO PATA on board. I could keep using my existing PATA burners if I can figure out a clean/reliable/cheap solution. The problem with SATA DVD burners is: WTH are they? Only ones I can find in the US...

    NOT HOT: newegg now ships UPS by default

    Just another datapoint: I have received hundreds of packages at home. All major shipping companies, but most were via UPS. No damaged items via UPS but a few via Fed-Ex. In addition, I have received other people's packages from Fed-Ex which is why I will NOT pre-authorize Fed-Ex to just leave...

    2 Kingston Elite Pro SD 1 GB for $79.18 AR & Coupon

    A great deal. A question about memory speed in general: This is listed as High Speed and 50x. The 50x is useful information but the High speed part isn't. Maybe 50x was "high speed" when this was manufactured, but I've seen 150x SD memory. So high speed could be sort of misleading. I've seen...

    Cheap Prescription Glasses Thread (as low as $19)

    Years ago I read an article comparing various sources for glasses and it considered the alignment of the eye and the "sweetspot" (my term) of the lenses to be very important. This was not related to bifocals or progressive lenses, but single prescription lenses. My recollection was that most...

    Logitech MOMO RED Wheel New and refurb! This is the aluminum one with leather!

    This is the most popular mass produced wheel used by professional and serious amateur sim-racers. Aside from look and feel, the materials and components are higher quality with these. You can go nearly as fast with the current model but it is MUCH less reliable.
