    Thoughts on proposed HTPC setup?

    Why bother with RAID? You're not going to see any performance extras from movies. If you're worried about back-up then buy an extra drive and copy over the stuff. It's not that tedious. RAID setups suck also because if you lose one drive, you lose both. Happened to me before a couple times...

    Webcam with software other than IM applications?

    No it would be done by whoever your network manager is. The port fowarding is in the router settings which is controlled by someone in networking.

    EVGA 8800GTS and HDCP with DVI

    Well if you do purchase a new one I would be interested in your 8800gts card. Let me know if you are interested to sell it if you do go down that route.

    Webcam with software other than IM applications?

    heh i'm sorry I didn't read it clearly. Anyways that just means the port on your network is blocked. Best bet is try google and see if you can find out if the webcam playback can be fowarded to another port that is open on your works network.

    Webcam with software other than IM applications?

    Try this: How to have a video conversation with MSN Messenger It's a detailed installation guide to setup video conversation using MSN. Also, if you are using two monitors, it will only work on one monitor, so the other will have to be disabled.

    Media Bridge

    Make sure they are definantly both detecting each other. I've never used any kind of media bridge so I wouldn't know how it works exactly. Ultimately I would try contacting both linksys and the software vendor with the program you are using to try and resolve the issue, more than likely they...

    EVGA 8800GTS and HDCP with DVI

    First what is the model of your player? Sony has alot of know issues with Blu-Ray as well as alot of others. HD-DVD seems to be a bit better with not having these problems apparently. First, make sure your monitor is running at it's native resolution. If that doesn't work, try every other...

    Hich of these 3 would you choose and why?

    I love my sony. I used to work at an Audio/Video store, and I used to stare at these things all day long. One day I just happened to be sitting watching the Sony I currently own, which is a 42" LCD Rear Projection, and it looked better than everything out there. Mind you I didn't work for...

    DELL 37" LCD TV

    I used to work for DELL. There TV's are made by panasonic or something. The panels flat out suck. I used to have to stare at them during work. They are somewhat competitive in their price, but everytime I sold one I knew I was just selling a terrible product. I have heard horror stories. Some...

    Made my decision for IRiver H10 over IPod Mini and IRiver H320 for audio device.

    Well I made my final decision. I've got the IRiver H10 and it is the best player in my opinion although the software issues are still being worked out, but a new firmware should be out within 2 weeks to fix the known bugs. Here is a linkie to the product: IRiver H10 Linkie The H10 is the...

    two recievers to 1 set of speakers?

    Unfortunatly I have noticed that many Panasonic HTIB's seem to lack this. For whatever reason who the hell knows... I have also seen that some of the units do not features Dolby 5.1, and just do PLII instead. It's kind of interesting... Can you still return it? Or maybe pack it up and try to...

    Question on rear centre speakers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had the AVR-230 for a while and added in a temporary center back speaker for a center channel and didn't seem all that impressed. Although true it does give a fly-over effect when a ship or something is going by, I find very little use in any other application..
