Hello all, As the title says, I'm in the market for a new amp, as my old Samson S700 is clicking frequently (as if the power to one of the amps is cycling maybe?), though there's no interruption in sound (only using one channel, set to parallel). I contacted SVS and was recommended the Crown...

Thanks for the advice, all, but I decided Michael was right and I should upgrade. So, after some minor woodwork reconfiguring my old 6ft. flexi-rack into a 3ft. TV stand, I managed to make a 50" set fit. Hence, I went with my long term solution and bought a Panasonic TH-50PZ85U. Ironically...

Well, my plans didn't work out so well. I went with your idea of buying a pre-built PC, except I went with the Compaq SR5550f, which was on sale at Fry's. I got home and began working on it, first by replacing the power supply(the 250W PS included didn't even have a PCIe connector). Luckily, I...

You're right, that's a pretty good deal. I think the best thing to do would be to buy the PC as is(plus the $10 DDR2-800 upgrade) and add the BD player/8800GT myself for around $300. I'll drop by Fry's in the next couple days to see if they have a better deal, but if not I'll probably go with...

Right, that's why I'm asking here first. :D I'm not sure what you mean by "extension", but your post inspired me to try a search that I hadn't tried in my hours of browsing last night, and I came up with this thread from avsforum. It only mentions the usage of PCs in passing a couple times...

Hi all, I'm stuck choosing between these two sets and I could use some advice. The Panny seems to be getting slightly better reviews overall, but it has one drawback: no PC input. The Samsung has the PC input, but, after reading some posts elsewhere, I'm wondering what the 1024x768 native...

Greetings all, In preparation for finally upgrading to an HD set, I'm building this PC so I can take full advantage of it. However, I have the bulk of it done, but I need a second(or third) pair of eyes to confirm if I've missed anything. Here's the configuration: Power Supply: PC Power &...

Thanks for the reply, Allan. Actually, I'll be using it for dubbing VHS tapes, so component video doesn't really apply. When it comes to converting DVDs, I'd go with one of the software solutions I listed, so as to keep it in the digital domain...

I could really use some opinions regarding conversion equipment. Specifically, I'm looking at the TenLab TR21 and the Hi-Tek CMD-2000. Which would you recommend in terms of picture quality and format support? Also, for software based solutions, is Cleaner XL or ProCoder preferred(haven't...

Crap, that was my first thought... :frowning:

Though I can use all the help I can get, I didn't send in a guess for Round 58...

Round 62: Do I see a record for most correct answers coming? :D Round 63: Think I got it, but it's been a few years, so I'm not sure... Round 64: Very clever... Round 65: I remember parts of this sequence, but I don't recall where it's from. I know I'll be kicking myself for this because I...

1 & 2. How many DVDs do you own? 203 3. How many TV shows on DVD (single or multi-disc) do you own? 12 4. About how many DVD items (single and multi-disc) do you buy a month? Not many, unfortunately. Maybe one or two if I'm lucky. 5b. Where (online) do you buy most of your DVDs? Amazon...

I don't find many films to be depressing, but In The Bedroom got to me...

41: CRAP! That's what I get for not sending in my guess. I was sure that church was from ITMOM, but I can't for the life of me remember a shot of it tinted red... 42: New it had to be one of the F13s, but I'd no clue which one... 43: That's amazing! I started taking screenshots recently...

Because I'd like to play them at least once and the CD-i and (these) games aren't exactly easy to find. Add to that the fact that there's only one CD-i emulator and I've no idea whether or not the games were even ripped and my reasons should be pretty obvious. :D

This is almost enough to get me to buy a Gamecube. What would be enough? The inclusion of Link's Awakening and the three games that were released on the CD-i...

Awww, CRAP! There goes my chance of winning...

AHHH! Round 11 is killing me! I know I've seen that image before. :angry:

Pretty clever with #8. I wonder how many people will get it...

Without a doubt, They're Creeping Up On You. Absolutely horrid! Of course, The Crate is the best of them... :D

My favorites... Siouxsie Sioux Regina Sosinski (Mira) Loreena McKennitt Candice Night (Blackmore's Night)

Add in one more vote for Ladyhawke. It's in my Top 10, but the music just doesn't fit...

Actually, they could also encode the two commentaries at 96kbps. That's how they fit four commentaries on Fight Club.

Finally! A contest in which I can truly compete. :D #1's easy, but no idea on #2(I think I'd remember it had I seen the film)...

I loved it, but it's definitely not for everybody. The few people I've introduced it to have gotten a kick out of it, though. This is one of those rare films that doesn't fit into any genre. It'd be next to impossible to determine whether a person would like it without actually showing it to...

Oh, no! People being rewarded for performance! Ahh! We can't have people feeling inferior! Everybody's equal... Sorry, couldn't resist! :D

The argument may as well end there. People like Jeff and Lew will never be convinced because their ethics are in agreement with the law, while people like me have to choose one over the other. I'm sure I don't speak for all file-sharers out there, but if I thought what I'm doing is hurting the...

Public backlash. Not many people like what the industry is doing now. Do you honestly believe that if they step up their assault their sales will rise?

You know, I stick around here to interject a unique viewpoint, but I'm becoming more and more convinced that 95% of this forum are lost causes who wouldn't be able to grasp that viewpoint even if I could convey it successfully. :rolleyes I'd never have guessed that a film forum existed in...
