That would be sweet. That A-Tech case is going to get my vote. :)

I use an AViC CV3000 in my system with outstanding results, especially with HDTV.

This might be a fun project for some of you to get involved in. Also a good way to get info on the latest gear. HTPC Forums is building a project HTPC, but they're reviewing each component they use in addition to the finished HTPC itself. Plus, I think they'll be giving it away after the reviews...

Yes, PAT-like it is, but it is not actually PAT as is found on 875 chipsets.

Best video cards currently available are no doubt the Radeon 9700 or 9800 series. NVIDIA's GeForceFX runs hotter (read noisier) and performs worse than the ATI counterparts.

Basically, you just change the speed of the FSB (front side bus). Default for Pentium 4 is 200, which is "quad pumped" to 800. So if you have a 2.6 CPU, your multiplier is 2600 / 200 = 13, so you would probably want to start with 230 and see if your system will post. It can be a lot of trial and...

Check out AViC cables at holomaxx.com/avic for some great cables at reasonable prices. Compare Avic to Bettercables, if you want a point of reference for the prices.

VGA is the way to go, and you will probably want nothing less than an AViC VGA Cable to do the job. Check them out at holomaxx.com/avic

I currently have a Pentium 4 2.4C running at 3.0 GHz in an Asus P4P800. Stock voltages, stock cooling. My CPU temp is around 39 degrees C, my case is about 37 degrees C. My CPU does not creep past 45 degrees under load. Current Intel systems feature very fast dual-channel DDR memory, which is...

The truth is, the Asus P4P800 Deluxe features some kind of enhancement that actually allows it to OUTPERFORM current Canterwood chipsets. It is not supposed to be faster, but it is, and it is much cheaper. I use this board and I love it. I recommend picking up a 2.4C, which has no troubles...

Just look on the box, or go to the product manufacturer's site and check the specs. IT will specify USB 1.x or 2.0. There are hardly any USB 1.0 deviced floating around anymore. In any case, most flash memory these days could not keep up with USB 2.0 speeds, so the extra speed would go...

It does not matter whether the network uses fiber connections, or copper. What you need to know is how much bandwidth will be available to you, both to and from the net. When they say fiber optic, they most likely mean that they are having an OC-x line installed. OC stands for "optical...

CHeck the link in my sig. The site is dedicated to HTPCs and the memebers are helpful. It's where i live. :)

No, the computer is grounded via the power supply, not the chassis. Consider that if you powdercoat the inside, you may run into fitment issues when you go to reassemble your case.

I own an AViC ONyX GRAViTON. It has been on sale for $500 for the past week or so. Regular price is $600. Once you break it in, it is an excellent subwoofer with zero compromises. You also get a 5 year warranty, 6 years if you buy it with a subwoofer cable.
