Kyle-sm: Yep, your right. However, although I control all components through my Philips Pronto NG remote, I do use the receiver most of all. Wayne Ernst, Thanks a lot for the compliment. All in all the rack cost me 400 Euros in materials, which is significantly less than what I...

The glass was 70 Euros/plate (1cm thick hardened glass). Belgarath

I just completed building an hifi-stand, I designed myself. It is made of a welded steel frame, the standalones sit on glass-plates, which in turn rest on 3 spikes on the frame. You can read more about the stand on my website: http://www.busch.nu/busch_hifi-rack.htm Cheers, Belgarath

Chris: Thanks for the compliment! Just started on "Pawn of Prophecy" again, i love this series. Scott L: Thanks man. Check out my article, the cooling setup is explained there. ok,ok, it's a Zalman CNPS-6000CU cooled by 2 70 mm reduced speed case-fans that blow air via a shroud (custom...

Thanks a lot Joe Hsu. That must have been www.HardOCP.com It was very kind of them to mention my design on the site. I don't know about using real names here, I have used "Belgarath" for almost 7 years now. This reminds, me it's high time I read one of David Eddings books again. :-)...

I think it looks absolutely great, now all I have to do is install some more plugins... Check out the "Busch"-logo (my lastname), I machined out of a piece of brass, and the decals, which I made myself, on the frontpanel. I wrote an article about it, which you can read at my website...

This is not the fault of the nForce chipset (or motherboards with Via chipsets). Until today I have not heard of a motherboard that died because the north- or south-bridge burned out. When a motherboard dies it is due to the fact that substandard parts were used, or just a bad design. Belgarath

Your receiver (and in principle all modern receivers) can be seen as a computer. When you switch them on, they boot into their operating system, which is stored in a chip, this software is called firmware. It can be upgraded to a new version via the RS-232C port, but this differs from brand to...

I have a RS-232C port on my Sony STR-VA555ES too. I used it about a month ago to upgrade the firmware from version 1.4 to 1.76 using my computer. Belgarath

I have had similar problems when trying to set up a LAN with XP-machines. In all occasions the build in firewall of XP was the cause. Switch it off and everything should work fine. Belgarath

Common guys, somebody must know... Belgarath

What has happened to this site? I wanted to download this Ecellent HTPC windows-shell, but have been unable to access the website for over a week now. Does anyone know what happened to it? It would be a shame if it died... Belgarath

Cool, thanks for the link and info. About 2 months ago I read in a thread on this forum that someone had had their 5ES upgraded in a shop to version 1.74. So I called Sony Technical Support in Germany and tried to get some info on where and how to get the update for my STR-VA555ES. There...
