HTPC built...what's next?

yeah, that's a drawback. But, I felt the added complexity of getting 64-bit to work reliably wasn't worth it. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's done. Anyway 3GB is better than 2GB. I'll be using SageTV and Meedio. I guess I decided MCE wasn't worth it when it first came out and you know how...

HTPC built...what's next?

Hello, I'm about to build a new HD HTPC/gaming rig. Once it's built, what should I do next. I thought I'd use the Ultimate Boot CD to run Memtest and maybe a CPU stress program. And something to test the hard drive (UBCD includes various apps). Is there a better alternative? What are...

DNS Exploit in the Wild

I had some trouble logging into Amex the other day (but not other bank/credit card sites), but didn't think much about it until I found out about this bug. Check my ISP, it said it was vulnerable, so I read about OpenDNS and switched to that. Slightly concerned about it, but a couple of points...

Ghost failed...won't boot

I've used Norton Ghost 2003 numerous times to backup my computer without a problem. This time when the DOS version of Ghost came up, it froze. Rebooting led to the same thing. I tried every way to 'return to windows' and none worked. I then used WinXP to boot to the recovery console. I...

Seagate 250 GB 7200.8 at Monarch Computer

I had an emergency situation, so I went up there and picked one up after work. Actually, I got the 250GB WD drive for $109 (WD2500JD). Tax brought it up to $116 and change, so a little more than Newegg, but I got it today. Newegg is a great shipper, but they can't beat picking it up same day...

6800 Wake from Suspend

Really? I'm searching everywhere not really finding any info. Do you have any links or info on a fix? That really sucks. I got a deal on the card, but I want my computer to sleep. I may have to take it back.

6800 Wake from Suspend

It's a 380W TruPower that came in the Antec Overture case. Other power consumers are 2 HDD, 1 DVD-Rom, PVR250, M-Audio Revolution, P4 3.2 w/ Zalman 7000 HSF, and a case fan.

6800 Wake from Suspend

Hi I just upgraded from a Radeon 9600 to the BFG 6800OC. This PC is in my living room hooked up to a 56" DLP. The problem is that when my computer wakes from suspend (S3), the screen is black and the computer is nonresponsive. This wasn't a problem with the 9600. I downloaded the newest...

(Dead) BFG 6800 OC with Far Cry, add HL2, $220 - $250 AMIR

It rung up at $270 for me in Atlanta (Southlake). If you don't get the $30 off, you should ask like someone else mentioned. When the clerk first rang it up, it showed $300. A screen popped up and she hit a button and it changed to $270. And I don't think returning HL will work. They'll...

New P4 question

Thanks. It looks like the 2.8 is quite a bit cooler than the 3.0 or 3.2, which are about the same (70W to 82W Power Dissipation). 2.8 was my original target, so maybe I'll stick with that if they have it. I just thought the 3.2 price was pretty good. That's also why I wasn't sure if it's a...

New P4 question

I have an HTPC running on a celeron 2.0 and want to upgrade. I want to start playing some games on my HDTV as well as use ffdshow to process dvds/videos. I'm planning on getting at least a 2.8 P4. Since noise is an issue, heat is an issue. Is there a major difference in the heat generated...

pretty hot, samsung 43" DLP projection TV 3299.94$ plus tax shipping at amazon

Maybe. This is in the Atlanta area. The CC with the 3499 price is in Buckhead, but the BB and HHG with the 2950 price are in Fayetteville, if that helps anyone. BTW, the delivery goes should be here in the next hour or so!!!!!

pretty hot, samsung 43" DLP projection TV 3299.94$ plus tax shipping at amazon

I've been wanting to brag about this and maybe it'll help someone else too. I was considering other big screens, because 3499 is just too much. I went to CC to look at other sets, but couldn't stop looking at the DLP. On Monay (11/10) I went to BB to compare picture quality and was amazed to...

HOTTER: $150 for opening a CitiBank Account (IMPROVED from first post)

Well, they are trying to screw me. I signed up with the CGA code ($1500/$150) near the end of March. The signature page I printed and mailed to them states the deal. An email I got from them on April 3rd states the deal. But, they are saying I didn't open the account until April 4th and the...

BIG LIST - XBox Deals

Wow, now I really feel bad about paying $300 for just the system! Oh well, at least my friend will be able to take advantage of this. So is it just the $10 MIR that is valid until 11/20 or this entire deal? Do you know how long the bundle will be offered?

D-link 802.11b AP 59.99 (Possibly Free in CC after PM/MIR !!), PCI wireless card 49.99 - OM 8/4-8/10, 8/11-8/17

Just wanted to say a big THANKS for this deal. I picked up 2 without very little hassle. I think I can use one in 'client AP mode' to act as an ethernet-to-wireless bridge for my Xbox. The hassle I got was that the first CC I went to was out, even though their website and their in-store...

I picked up 2 of these and have a couple questions. Do I have to go to the same store where they were purchased to get the price match, or can I go to any store? When they price match, does that include the tax, too? I pm'ed a Tivo awhile back and kind seems like they did. Thanks
