It's now been out over a week, and sufice to say I'm now as high of a level as I was in the beta... 25 WHM / 11 BLM (need to get BLM up.. doh!) So anyone else get sucked in? The launch was smooth sailing, servers been great and I've been learning some japanese :)

Ok we all know about that thread concerning the Hard Drive and $100 and ranting :) Well I decided thanks to that thread that what the heck, I'd load up my good old Beta. After about 2 months the games quite a different place. WAY WAY more people online, now 700+ instead of the measly 150-200...

I'm running a set of Polk LSi speakers off of a Sony ES-TA9000N amplifier which I believe is rated at either 110 or 120 watts per channel with VERY low THD. The speakers are rated at a max wattage of 200, and are considered 4 ohms. I'm considering upgrading to the Outlaw 7 channel...

I'm looking to upgrade my pre-amp so I want to find a buyer for the old one :) This is the top of the line Sony ES preamp, if the warranty is transferable it's still got over 3 years left on it. It works perfectly and is in mint condition. Key Features: multiple 32-bit processors: 1 for...

I've got an SVS 20-39PC from back in 2001 which I've upgraded with the improved driver so I guess it's more or less a PCi now :) Well I've got the chance to upgrade to a bigger sub if I so desire and the one I'm looking at is the 16-46PC+ So it's tuned 4 hz lower and it's got a bigger amp...

http://www.msnbc.com/news/826011.asp I don't know how many of you live in Minnesota, but this is a huge blow :frowning: I feel sorry for his sons when they find out about this. (His Wife and Daughter were on the plane) Brian

I don't know how many of you remember all my posts about what type of car to get, sport suspension or not, and much more from a while ago.... Well I finally picked up my new baby this Saturday and took some pictures this afternoon. It's cloudy out so the car looks black, though it's actually...

Ok Nintendo has always says not to use rechargable battaries int anything they make that uses batteries. I realize it can damage the screen on a GBA (not sure why though... since you can buy rechargable packs). But why not on a Wavebird, it can't be because it needs 3.0 volts since a batter...

Well I just ordered it online, the price was listed as 19.99 but after I submitted the order I noticed it changed to 15.99, thanks to the fact they have free shipping right now, and the $10 coupon usable toward another purchase in Aug. It's quite a good deal. Who knows when I'll get the disc...

I've got the Component cable, and the game is set to 16:9 but my TV (Sony 57" XBR) still says its 480i. It works great with the Xbox, that has a switch for progressive. Any ideas? Brian

Here at work we run Linux, so I'm stuck with Mozilla 1.0 (which is a fine browser with a few limits). One this this and some other browsers don't seem to like is links to articles like the birtday one where you have to click on the flash animation. Is there any place else on the site links...

Well this is my 500th recorded post (lost a bunch back when the DB crashed :frowning:) Its kinda funny, if you look at a # of posts in a week since I joined a long time ago you'd see it increasing. So who knows perhaps I'll make it to 1000 in only a year instead of 3 :) This place is so much...

I haven't seen this so I dunno if its been posted here before, but its uber funny! (for the record I'm a die hard PC user....) http://www.macboy.com/switch/

Well it took me long enough, but this Saturday I finally confirmed the car I'm buying. I filled out all the paper work so that this fall (They have to make the car ;)) I'll be driving away in a brand new 2003 Audi A4 3.0 Quattro. I'm getting the Premium Package (which is a HUGE package: Xenon...

Theres a new article up over at MSNBC.com (link) about low low power and speakers and just how good they sound. Its by Gary Krakow whose written quite a few articles I've found to be interesting reading. And it made me stop and think about all the more watts = better amps. And just how...

Well it's official, no going back ;-) I've got the ring and am about turn off my computer and in a few hours we leave for our honeymoon.... I'll be on the board when I return ;) Brian

Well in about 29 hours I'll be a married man, doesn't seem too crazy, just tons of friends and family showing up in town today and tomorrow. As far as I can tell the only major differences will be I get to wear a ring on my finger and my insurance rates will go down :) Should be fun ;-) Brian

Legal in europe at least: And it holds 2 people! http://www.vwvortex.com/news/04_02/04_16/index.shtml Brian

Well I'm ordering my 2002 A4 this weekend, I've decided to get the '02 because they are butchering the '03 :frowning: But I'm down to sport suspension / performance tires. Cost wise its a dang good deal. So do I get 17" Performance tires and sport suspension with some 15" steal rims / winter...

Well it looks like I'll get the chance to order one in the next month or so. But I think my Sony N9000ES will be fine for the time being and I'm going to use that money towards an '03 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro :) So unless someone REALLY far down in line wants me to buy it and ship to someone else...

As some of you know I've been trying to figure out which car I'm going to get: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...=&pagenumber=1 But now that I've decided on getting an A4 I've got a new problem. On the A4 1.8T I can get Leatherette or Cloth and on the A4 3.0 which costs ~5k more...

I'm going to buy a new car this fall... and have basically narrowed it down to these two cars... I like the 1.8 Turbo 4 cyl engine (which they both have) and I want a manual tranny... The break splits there.... VW won't sell me a Passat with a stick and AWD... but I can get just that in...

Check it out... with sound! Enjoy, Brian

As much as they tried my cats couldn't handle the boxes :frowning: So I had to bring them in. Anyway a little over a week ago I was able to bring home a full set of seakers including the LSi9, LSiC, & LSiFX. They replaced the set of RT25i's and CS245i which now reside in the bedroom. I...

I'm getting a set of Polk LSi's for my main theater, and have decided to set up the old set (Polk RT25i's+245i) in our Bedroom. I'm planning on getting the Denon 3802 or 3801 to power them. Here's my question :) My local dealer will sell me the floor model 3801 for $200 less then the 3802...

I'm planning on buying a house this year (no more rent!). I currently have a 57" 16:9 RPTV that will be the basis for my HT until I can buy a Projector (soon... soon...) and have the space for it. I'm planning on looking for a space (basement?) in whicn I could build a room that would serve as...

I'm researching what speakers I should get next (damn addiction)... Why would I want floor staning speakers when I can get wall mountable bookshelfs (like the polk RT25is I have) for far cheaper and I already own a SVS 20-39PC which seems to kick out plenty of bass. Am I right in figureing...

This is for all you separate lovers out there :) My local HT Store has a floor model Sony TA-E9000ES pre/pro and TA-N9000ES amplifier that the sales guy said he'd give me a good deal on. My question to you guys is is it worth it? I notice the combo is 3 years old, and new stuff is coming...

I just bought a Sony KP-57XBR10W, what kind of things do I need to do to it to make it look really good? :) I have avia and intend to do all the configs I can. I've heard that these sony RPTVs don't have problems with screen burn in, does this mean I can hook my PS2 up to it and not have...
