    Help with HDTV Tuners

    I currently have DirecTV with an HD-DVR and a plain HD receiver. I would like to use my PC as an occasional DVR for the few times there are 3 things on at the same time that I'd like to watch since the set-top box can only handle 2. The things I record are usually network TV since cable programs...

    Ripped CPU out

    Well, to my defense, I've never used a stock heatsink before with its own thermal paste. I've always used a third-party heatsink and some form of Arctic Silver (3 until 5 was released) and never, ever had the problem of the CPU fusing itself to the heatsink. I remember back in the day if you...

    Small, quiet heatsink/fan combo?

    I picked up the BTF-90 and it fit perfectly. My motherboard tray just slides out with it installed. Thanks for the recommendation...

    I feel the lesson learned here is to never use the stock heatsink or at the very least use your own thermal paste... ;)

    Ripped CPU out

    This is my first build that I actually used the stock AMD heatsink. Because its a little too loud for my taste, I replaced it this morning with a ZEROtherm BTF-90 . I went to remove the heatsink and the CPU came along for the ride. <expletives removed>. I cleaned up the CPU and reinstalled it...

    Small, quiet heatsink/fan combo?

    I'm looking to upgrade my stock AMD heatsink to something a little more quiet. I was very close to picking up a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme but then I realized it probably won't fit in my case (Coolermaster Praetorian atc-201). Any suggestions? Most of the reviews I've cruised are of these...

    Input on an Upgrade

    Thanks for the responce. The integrated graphics was an important aspect due to the fact I don't game, at all. The ram I posted was $7 or $8 less than the Corsair so it was pretty much in line. I don't really want to over-clock, hence the reason I went with the AMD. I believe stock to stock, the...

    cat5e or cat6?

    Is Cat6 completely backwards compliant with Cat5/5e? I need to do a ~30ft run and my buddy gave me a spool of Cat6 cable that he had. Am I going to run into problems if I use this cable?

    Sharing the same conduit

    I've got a conduit that currently houses a single CAT5 cable. I want to run a coaxial cable in the same conduit but I'm unsure if I will get any interference or not. Any ideas?

    Aside from Google, if given the chance, which internet company would you like to own?

    I'd choose eBay over Yahoo and Amazon. They have more cash on hand and look to be running debt free for the most part.

    Best Buy has 0% financing through January 2010 on HDTV and home theater

    Sorry for a bumping an old thread as the current promotion is currently 18 months but free financing deals are a great way to leverage your money. Financing normally appeals to those that cannot afford to lay out the initial purchase price but for those that can, its sometimes wise to take...

    My dad's company sucked the money outta his 401k?! Is this legal?

    401(k) are sheltered from creditors, pension plans are not though pensions are usually insured. Find out if he does indeed have a 401(k). If he does, they could have changed the plan provider resulting in a $0.00 account balance statement.

    The dumbest thing you can do is make statements with no basis. The housing market may be slowing but there's more to real estate than just housing. Commercial real estate has been doing quite well for example. I believe someone said earlier that if you know what you are doing then you'll be...

    Senate opens flag-burning debate

    I'm not admitting I'm wrong, I just don't want to debate you all night so I will leave you with this: The Declaration of Independance was signed in 1776 and the US Constitution was completed in 1787. However a flag existed before these 2 very important documents were ever created hence the...

    Senate opens flag-burning debate

    Your thinking is too narrow. If 2 nations are at war and one is conquered, the "winning" nation flies their flag over the defeated land and the citizens are subject to the "winning" nation's law. The presence (or absence) of a flag is what grants (or forbids) freedoms. A USA flag flying over...

    Senate opens flag-burning debate

    Nice post but what you fail to realize is in reality the flag is what gives us the bill of rights, it is the precursor to our entire nation. If the flag was not flying, we'd have nothing. The flag symbolizes everything that is America - both the good and the bad. Something that important and...

    Open box deal at Newegg

    It all really depends on how sizeable the price difference is. One time apples to apples (refurb shipped vs. retail shipped) the difference was closer to $50. IIRC Asus charges around $20 shipped for their accessory pack so my savings were somewhat substantial. Mostly everything in the accessory...

    POLL: Which do you prefer in your bedroom? Carpet or hardwood?

    I have carpet in my bedroom but would much rather have hardwood floors. (Ironically I there is hardwood flooring underneat the carpet but the old lady won't hear any of it.) My thinking is once the carpet is down, its down for good whereas if you were to get an area rug, you can use it at will.

    Would you pay off your bill early or let your money sit and earn interest?

    As long as the $5k isn't taking up the majority of your credit line, I would invest the $5k. If you think you don't have enough discipline and don't care about liquidity, put your money in a CD. You won't lose your principal and the maturity date should coincide with your due date depending on...

    UTP vs. STP

    The basement is 2 floors down. Below this room is the kitchen. If it was on the first floor I would have just followed an air vent but this room is basically impossible to get to from anywhere in the house. Wouldn't the surge protector avoid that? (My UPS has ports for RJ45)

    UTP vs. STP

    Wireless is lossy. When I had cable it wasn't noticeable but with Fios you really feel the burn. A licensed electrician did the electrical install. I just followed what he put and ran the cat5.

    Finally got the 30mbps Upgrade from my ISP!

    FIOS 15Mbps: Download Speed: 15137 kbps (1892.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 1787 kbps (223.4 KB/sec transfer rate) We pay $39.95 a month for it. Cheaper and faster than the only other alternative, RoadRunner.

    UTP vs. STP

    There's no other route. In another room I was able to follow the central air straight to the basement but in this room the central air doesn't go straight down so there is no way to route the wire.

    UTP vs. STP

    LOL. I want a window A/C for the summer since the central air isn't cutting it. The room gets very hot in the summer, especially when I have my PC and Laptop running.

    UTP vs. STP

    I needed a dedicated electrical outlet in my bedroom and there was no easy or feasible way to get it snaking through the house so we ran piping on the side of the house from the basement to the second floor. Since I don't have a cat5 hookup in my room I figured I'd run a cable in that pipe as...
