Another vote for Microsoft Security Essentials!

Concur 100%! I used My Movies for a while too and while it worked, due to my Satellite Internet connection, there were times when I couldn't connect to their server. 7MC, Media Browser and your choice of Blu-ray software (I use TMT5), Peal and Coverart and I'm done. Everything works splendidly.

The AMD recommendation is a great one... For HTPC, I don't think you need to even bother with an i5...the i3 should do all you need (and more), and will keep the cost down a bit...especially if you don't need a dedicated video card. There were some issues with the initial run of the i3 but...

Cool thread Matt... I jumped on the HTPC bandwagon about 18 months ago and use it more than any other single piece of gear in my rack. Couple months ago, I added an nVidia GT-450 to the case and now I'm all Hi-Res audio goodness. Very interested in the AMD Zacate builds and I'm just...

Richard, I'm not sure you touched on this or not but you may have something in your "Options" blocking the pictures. I have my browser (Firefox 1.0.4) set to Load Images from the orginating website only. Not sure if this helps or not but I wanted to give it a shot.

Parker, Thanks for the info on MCE/XP. Since I've not given a lot of serious thought to an HTPC/Media Server, I've not investigated MCE much but I guess I should have. Your TV...RPTV right? CRT or one of the Futuristic DLP, LCD, Plasma jobs? I'm not that serious about gaming but I do...

Meaning that if I want to use WinXP on another box, I would have to have another copy of WinXP on that box OR there are applications that won's run properly on any box that wold then need to other thing, like Playing gave, buying songs from he various places around the 'Net At any rate, thats...

Parker, Let me just say that accepting a promotion at work isn't always the best way to get "more out of life" if you know what I mean. I was really interested in an HTPC way back in the day but then I started thinking about it and I really couldn't justify a "need" at the time. That...

Well now, I haven't posted here in...FOREVER but Parker's review has me all bothered. Over the last two years or so, I really become a big fan of having my CD collection available at the click of a mouse. While my MP3 collection is fairly small, I'm quite happy to be able to search for say...

One thing you may want to do is make sure you PC is up to the task. I just put an Multi-Format DVD Burner into a friend's PC and it is JUST BARELY inside the limit of the "minimum requirements" for the Burner to do all the things it can do. While I don't mean to cloud the issue further or...

Just thought I'd chime in here again to give my opinion on this:

I'll have in my hot hands tomorrow...I can't wait for the ride (65 minutes from work) home now:):)!

Thanks guys...much appreciated!

A budding new Home Theater Nut, and a very good friend of mine, just bought himself a cool new Sony Multi-Channel Receiver and a shiny new 57" Sony 16:9 Television. He's become very serious about his hobby and really likes DTS too! He ordered the DTS version of Jurassic Park and of course...

Thanks all for the replies. Now, let's narrow the playing field a little. Armed with the knowledget that there are two Marillion's (Fish and Hogarth), here's my next question. Give me the ONE album with each singer that will best exemplify what Marillion was then and is now. How's that for a...

Ok...thanks largely in part to the people in this forum, I've fallen in love with Dream Theater and really dig Spock's Beard. Now I'm ready for more. You guys had mentioned a band called Marillion I believe. I was able to find one called Misplaced Childhood over at Amazon but is that the one...

You think this show is bad...you shoulda seen "The Grubbs"! BLECH!

I'm gonna have to side COMPLETELY with Jodee here. If I even buy this disc at all, this will be the first time I will opt to buy the Single Disc "Collector's Edition" over the 2-Disc "Director's Edition".

Yeah...I'm interested in what Extended Scenes will be in there as well!

No Freezing on my Toshiba SD-3109, but the Flickering is MADDENING! It appears to be on every live action scene where animated characters were added so could it be attributed to the process used to merge the two together?

Double Post!

I'm just the opposite...I bought it and while there's a few cool things on there, I just don't think it's enough to justify the amount I paid for it. If you can get it REALLY cheap...I'd be inclined to say "Go For It", but only if it's really cheap.

We keep talking about Stargate: Atlantis....could someone give me a little information or link me to a site that will give me some background? Is this gonna be as lame as the Stargate: Infinity cartoon (Dreadful:frowning:)? Is it gonna be a live action show, where will it air...etc..

Will...my wife and I both said EXACTLY the same thing IMMEDIATELY when that happened! I'm telling you what, I also had Tony's little girlfriend picked as a Mole until tonight...now I'm confused. They did the same thing with Nina last year. I was CONVINCED she was bad...then I changed my mind...

Ok...I give up:)... I interpreted that line differently...as in "a Go'ould now named Anubis, who died as some completely different Go'ould (whose name we didn't know or wasn't told) figured out how to ascend." As I said, I defer to the SciFi knowledge of the All Powerful High Priest 'o Joss:)

Jeff, Not that I'm arguing the point, but I swear he didn't say "Anubis" in that line. Haven't they said previously that they didn't know who Anubis really was...meaning he could be a Go'ould from nowhere? Obviously, I bow down before your superior knowledge of all things SciFi:D and...

Yep...I went to Target today also...there was no SALT what-so-ever on my copy of the Rabbit:D ! HEHEHEHE

One thing though...it could be either Ra or Apothis as Daniel said "One of the Go'ould figured out how to ascend." He didn't say which one! My wife and I both thought it was going to be Apothis and still may well be:)!

Thanks David...I don't much like salt anyway:D!

David, You mentioned Targets Low Price for the Vista Series Roger Rabbit "looking like 15.99". I'm hoping that's confirmed as I'll be visiting the Targe in my area for that puppy if that holds to be true.
