Since you haven't had any responses from the "gurus" yet, I'll pass on a few thoughts. My requirements have been almost exactly the same as yours, very few movies, some TV, but mainly music. I opted for some good speakers ($1500) and a good integrated amp ($1000). I haven't felt the need to...

Eric, I haven't heard the 2003A, so can't comment there. But it will have to be one h*** of an amp to keep up with the 2200. Until about two years ago I was driving my vintage Infinity RSIIIa speakers with a vintage 150W Luxman amp (I bought them new). I was perfectly happy since I'm no...

Eric, There is one on Audiogon; http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.p...ran&1059694219 :)

Eric: Good luck finding one! I bought mine last month, a demo unit from a high-end audio store in Kentucky (Audiogon ad). VERY happy with it. Now I know what people mean in reviews when they talk about hearing things that they've never heard before from a recording, it's true. I've been...

The All-In-Wonders have a TV tuner and PVR capabilities, consequently they are more expensive than the comparable non-AIW. As far as using the Revolution with any All-In-Wonder, there is a known problem where the video and audio are seriously out of sync. M-Audio acknowledges that there is a...

Here are a couple of other good review sites: http://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/COMPS01.HTM http://www.imaging-resource.com/ http://www.megapixel.net/html/issueindex.php?lang=en The first link was really helpful when I was deciding on which 3 megapixel camera to buy. It shows and...

Check out these reviews and recommendations: http://pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,109123,00.asp http://reviews.cnet.com/techtrends/0...8.html?tag=nav Just be aware that some printers may be priced attractively low, but eat you up buying the ink cartridges. Just check out the cost of...

I would second the suggestion to watch for the exceptional deals that Dell has been offering. Far better computer for your friend than the TigerDirect. Well worth the extra @$150. Unfortunately, the deal mentioned above has expired but new ones keep coming up. Keep watching the HTP Deals area...

You didn't mention which version of Windows you are running. USB 2.0 is supported under WindowsXP with Service Pack 1. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;329632 In WindowsXP, when you install a new USB 2.0 device, if it is not supported Windows will pop up a message that you have...

Some details on the upcoming AIW 9700Pro due for release in Oct/Nov timeframe: Link Removed

You might want to read the reviews of the Sony sub at AudioReview. It has a lot of ideas about tweaking that would also apply to your KLH. http://www.audioreview.com/Subwoofer...7_2741crx.aspx Here is a link to the Rockford Fosgate site. I couldn't find the RFZ3810 (8 ohm version of the...

Here are four articles that describe installing a hard drive. I would read all four since each one may clear up a question that another has raised for you. http://www.futurelooks.com/features/...age1_frame.htm http://pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,47370,00.asp...

Mark, This review may be of some help: Link Removed :)

Casper XP is a new program that works really well in your situation. Also not as complicated for those of us who rarely do this type of thing. Having had to reinstall XP and all the related programs, drivers, etc. a couple of times, the investment was a lot less expensive than psychiatric...

Power supplies are often the most underappreciated parts of the computer. No glamour or bragging power, but nothing else works when it can't keep a steady source of power output. (Sermon over.) I would suggest looking at the new Antec TruPower power supplies. I have the earlier version and...

Kami, You might want to check out the new TruePower Antec power supplies. http://www.antec-inc.com/p_truehome.html :)

SteveK, If I understand you right, you really aren't interested in a lot of "image editing" but more along the line of e-mailing decent quality snapshops/photos to other family members? If this is the case then, as Max said, you'll be scanning at 300dpi. Any higher resolution scan will only...

These two sites give some helpful information about scanners and photos: http://www.scantips.com/ http://www.pctechguide.com/18scanners.htm I second the recommendation for the Epson scanner, reviews have rated it better than comparable HP scanners. It seems Epson really has top notch...

MichaelG, Glad the post helped. :) Mark, Since you list yourself as "stereophile", you may want to take a look at all the parts that you are planning for your set-up. A 21' monitor certainly would be great, especially if this is also your TV. But there may be other things that would...

Mark, You can check out the PCWorld review link that lists the Viewsonic 19" GS790 as their top Best Buy. Its been there several times. The best web price I could find is $330. shipped. BUT Viewsonic is discontinuing it. If you go to the Viewsonic Outlet Store link they have brand new...

Sam, Going from the W2000 drivers list of supported cards you shouldn't be having any problem even if it were only a Rage 128 Pro. Link Removed Just to be sure, did you read the Release Notes for the drivers? Link Removed Just out of curiosity, what motherboard do you have? If all...

Jeff, Good suggestion. It didn't occur to me that there might have been onboard video. Just goes to show that it helps to think "outside the box" once in awhile. :b

You should check out a new article at ExtremeTech on building a HTPC, http://www.extremetech.com/article/0...a=27620,00.asp Really good.:)

Samuel Des, Have you run across the new Terratec card, DMX 6fireLT? Supposedly to be released soon: http://www.terratec.com/ttus/default.htm Will be interested to see how the reviews will treat it. I've looked at the M-Audio cards but no real gaming support. :)

Sam, The drivers are not "universal", you need to download the drivers specific to your card. I checked the ATi site. In the link below you will need to select your OS in the first box, then select your card in the second box (scroll down to "ALL IN WONDER 128 PRO"). Be sure to read ALL...

I just recently bought Paint Shop Pro, unless you really want to get into editing it can be intimidating. Microsoft Picture It and Adobe Photoshop Elements aren't as comprehensive but offer more "hand-holding" aspects. If you want the best of both worlds you can buy Paint Shop and Picture...

Two good programs are: Ulead DVD Picture Show Imaging Suite (burns to CD also, I'm cosidering this one for myself) http://www.ulead.com/dps/runme.htm Flip Album has the advantage of great album format http://www.flipalbum.com A number of other programs are listed in this Tucows search...
