Alright. If I weren't going for linux, which would be the best for me in my price range? And if so, what windows alternatives (free, preferably) are there for mythtv?

I looked on the MythTV wiki and didn't see that supported. How are the Hauppauge PVR-150s? Anybody have one?

I would go for that, but it's a little over my price limit :( I've gotta keep expenses down so I have enough spending money to last me through this year

I had a quick question regarding TV tuners. I'm moving into colelge, and I want to be able to record my shows on my computer. I need a tv tuner for it, and that's where i've run into problems. I don't know whether to get a USB or PCI card. I know I want it to do onboard encoding, so either...

I heard somewhere though that the manufacturer has to prove an aftermarket part (that increases cooling power?) caused the card to fail. It's funny really, that it kept it cooler and probably made it last longer, and out goes my warranty. I'll still try, though. I'm the one that bought...

NooOoOOoOO That's what i was worried about. I decided to install an aftermarket cooler so I'm guessing my warranty is shot?

First of all, thank you all for taking the time to read this thread and help me out in advance. My problem is that when playing games, my computer crashes, leaving a multi colored mess on the screen for about 10 seconds, and then the screen goes blank (computer is still on) and nothing works...

Hey All. I'm going off to college soon, and the dorms there are REALLLLLY tiny. I wanted to take my consoles with me (PS2, also getting a Wii this summer) and hook them up to my computer monitor. If I understand, I have to get some sort of a component to VGA adapter such as this one to make...

It seems like Sony is reaching too far by trying to release "entertainment" consoles not "gaming" consoles. I don't have any real beef with the PS3, although I wouldn't buy one personally. The Wii is such a lower price it makes it far more available. Not everyone has 600$ to blow on an...

Alright guys, I'm starting a new thread since my last is dead and buried. I'm going to college next year and i'm beginning my search for a laptop. I've decided on ~ a 15 inch screen. I was going to go for a tablet as suggested, but changed my mind. I've talked to quite a few people...

I would like either Hdbits or oink if anyone has any to spare. I have demonoid I can trade, as long as you are sure to keep a good ratio. PM me for e-mail and such.

well, nothing fancy, a 3500+, 6800 GT, 2gigs of ram. Runs all the games I play well enough,s till fast. I might be upgrading (ie: new system) with summer money if I have extra. All in all though, I doubt i'll need much more than this for games. It wont play any of the brand new ones, but I'm...

I was just looking through the harbor freight site, and saw a different air compressor. It's 1 and 3/4 HP with a 5 gallon tank for a little less than 100$. I know harbor freight stuff sucks, but its even oiled, so maybe you'd have some luck. Here ya go: linky

Wow. Just took a look at that Asus R1. I thought tablet PC's were those little handheld PDA's! Now the tablets look realllly enticing. The more I think about it, I can use my PC to game whenever I need, I need the laptop/tablet for hauling around, when I wont really need to be gaming. The...

Well, I'm more shopping around and seeing what would be good. I might be getting the laptop as a graduation present, so I wouldnt be able to pick the deal I got. I MIGHT be able to swing it to where I can wait till nearer to school, but that's iffy. So I was getting suggestions now, and if...
