MATRIXSHARK, ygpm.
ekuest, could you test 1080p mkv for me and confirm if it's able to handle a 1080p mkv in VLC? Also, please take a picture of the motherboard and tell me its form factor.
Thanks.
I'm looking to build a computer for the television for playing hulu, and 720p/1080i/1080p video files. Nothing else, just an HTPC I guess.
So looking for something relatively cheap, not sure how low I can go spec-wise before videos start lagging/skipping frames.

Alrighty, ordered that sound card. I won't be getting the Receiver until the end of the month, so how would I set it up to my old Pioneer receiver. It doesn't have a digital-in for the fiber optic cable.

That looks pretty good. I think I might get that, is it compatible with Linux though?
I won't be playing video games, just playing: Music and Videos. DVD's will be our DVD Player, but for stuff I rent I might just rip it to the...
How would I connect that card to the receiver using the analog/rca things?
It has front, rear, center, subwoofer? How would I connect these to the Pioneer receiver? The Pioneer Receiver doesn't have a multichannel in to do left&right for front and rear, but center and subwoofer should be fine...

Is that a good Receiver? Also, for a soundcard how would I connect it to a receiver to get the 5.1? Thanks.
What's some good air filter material stuff? Stuff you can buy in a sheet or something and cut yourself. I want to make my computer almost dust free on the inside. I'm only having 2 fans in the PC. Side fan blowing in, back fan blowing out and the PSu will be blowing out.
I'd like to maintain...
Yeah, I'm going to get a 20 or 40 GB hard drive for the main system, and then 250 or 300 GB Hard Drives for the storage stuff.
Nice, and with this Raid... If I get an error or a corruption or something, how well does it deal with that? I hear that like Raid-1 or Raid-0 (I'm a newbie to raid)...
Well, I'm going to build a media PC that will host a number of songs, movies, videos and such. A lot of media.
I'm thinking about putting 2, 250 GB hard drives into my media PC for the living room. Do you think that's enough for: movies, music, pictures and television capturing?
I want it...
Well, I'm building a HTPC and a web-server. I don't need a super-amazing graphics card, but I need one that will be compatible with Linux. Will this card work with Linux?
Thanks!
Would you recommend something better for video playback or something?

I was thinking of getting a 1.2 GHz CPU for my dads PC so he can run this game (Silent Hunter III) a little bit faster than on his 850 MHz Duron.
I'm not sure if it will work.
At first I was planning to get an ATi Radeon 9000 for my Linux setup. But I heard ATi and Linux suck, and that nVidia is better.
How well are the drivers? I don't plan to use it for gaming, mostly for Home Theatre PC and as a web-server.
So there won't be any gaming. I was curious if...

ATi Radeon 9000 or ATi Radeon 9600. What should I get?
I was planning to build an ATi Linux system. I was going to go with Mandriva 2006 PowerPack, with an ATi Radeon 9000 or 9600 video card.
Going to be using this as a web-server, and as a home theatre PC. I will not use this PC for...
