I enjoy the flexibility of a desktop rather than a dedicated device. WMC and XBMC are awesome, then i just bring up hulu in a webbrowser, as i dont really care for hulu desktop. WMC basically just handles my OTA programming, and sometimes netflix. XBMC takes care of the rest of my media needs.

I threw together a system with a crap Logisys power supply, and it randomly rebooted. I monitored everything, it all seemed good. Checked the windows log and the only thing mentioned was power interruppted unexpectedly. Swapped PSU's and the problem was gone. Bad part was that some damage was...

I recently upgraded from a 8800gts, I should have went with the HD7700 but at the last second bought a Evga 550ti it was 99 after MIR seems like a good card.

Anyone have a working 939 motherboard? is anyone intersted in bad hard drives i have a 500gb wd doest seem to work at all, and a 320gb wd that works sometimes. If someone coudl get some use out of them price is what I'd want.

whats someone going to do with my online bank account information? check my balance? scary stuff. Ok enough of that, sometimes i run av somtimes i forget, I've been infected several times with different crap. I'm pretty careful i know what links not to click, heh for a while everytime i went...

Got some bad caps on my motherboard and am hoping to find a replacement for it. I would also be interested in other boards that OC decently and have 4 dimm slots. Would like to stay with the asrock dual sata 2 though. Let me know what you got wanting to spend around $20, but may spend a...

project-x?

I currently have a 8800gts so it would be a tremendous upgrade

while its true tuner sensitivity or whatever you want to call it will very sometimes greatly. Its really hard to say for sure. I think antennaweb.org can offer at least a little guidance for what type of antenna is needed for your area. I tried 2 different in door antenna, and even made a...

are vista and 7 better yes, is there anything wrong with windows xp no. I have 2 older computers that could run vista/7 but honestly they work just fine with windows xp. If its not broke don't fix it. They make these really cool antivirus programs that are constantly updated to assist with...

Realistically its possible, but you may not like the outcome my most recent build cost about $115 Picked up a 6000+ x2 am2 CPU, motherboard, and 2gb ddr for $40 on eBay (i was looking for a CPU and did an impulse bid didn't think I'd win the auction) Picked up another 2gb stick of ddr2 on eBay...

Honestly the combo doesn't look bad, the only thing i would be hesitant about is the motherboard. You could make the case work. If it wasn't for the motherboard i wouldn't hesitate to buy it and throw in a better, psu, ssd, and video card.

I use Hulu and netflix. They seem to offer a good variety of content if your not afraid to try new things. I think they are both worth the monthly subscription cost. Use an antenna for the OTA programming. have 2 cheapo ati650 tuner cards, and use windows media center. I really don't feel...
