    My mom's XP computer died (power supply gave up the ghost and killed the motherboard too). I got the old hard drive out and hooked it up to my computer (win7) to get the data off. It was only a 200ish gigabyte drive so I just copied the whole drive to a folder on my 1TB external and gave...

    CRT HDTVs

    Touchscreen mods (L90D)

    New home theater setup

    I'm in the process of researching parts for setting up my home theater. I plan to buy everything in the next two weeks or so (unless there's some crazy-hot-deal/new-thing right around the corner). As far as receivers goes I'm planning on going with the Harman/Kardon AVR-254 because I think...
