I've been looking at hooking up my PC to my Samsung DLP. After reading people rave about the PQ they're getting from their HTPC's, I'm just curious how it'd compare to my Samsung HD-931 DVI DVD player. But mostly I'd like to play games on my TV. Anyway, I have no interest in building another...

First off, I've changed nothing on my PC since yesterday. Anyway, this morning I click on my Netscape 7.1 desktop icon and for the first time ever, it asks me to choose a profile. Then I had to supply my screen name and password. So I finally get on and it's like I'm a brand new user and ALL...

Right now I have 25 processes running. And that's that I ended a couple that looked unnecessary. One of them is something related to the game "Dope Wars". My brother was over here and decided to download this game. Now I have this process called "trickler..." that runs every time I start my...

I just bought the Samsung DVDHD931 Progressive Scan DVD Player off of the HTF Deals page. This thing has DVI out, which I'll be hooking up to either a Sony 34" HS510 or an XBR910. Now I emailed Onecall.com and they suggested this DVI cable. Now, I'm no cheap-skate, but there's NO WAY I'm paying...

I'm going to take the leap to an HDTV in the near future. If I do set up an HTPC, it'd be for DVD playback and HD OTA tuning (via a myHD card or something similar). My biggest question, I guess, is how are these things to work with? How are the ergonomics? Do I have to tweak it constantly...

Last night I got to play on a server called XBLServerCom1. I'm pretty sure on the name, but in any case it was something to that effect. It reminded me of the XBLServers they used to have for Unreal Championship. Anyway, it was set up for 16 players but it showed up as a "yellow" server. I...

I finally got my digital camera and website stuff all together. Let me know what you think.

I was all set to buy a Philips 34PW9818 34" CRT HD monitor, but then I came across this Toshiba and now I'm seriously considering buying it. I've never bought anything through eBay and this is a hell of a way to start out, with a $2k purchase.:frowning: I guess I'm looking for feedback on eBay...

If so, are you using the 12v trigger? I can't for the life of me get it to work. The amp seems easy enough to set up, you just set the switch on the back to on. Then I go to the Anthem's set-up menu and enable "All Triggers", then put an asterisk where it says "Power ON" and "Main" for trigger...

First off, my system includes a P4 @2.4GHz with XP Pro and a ATI AIW Radeon 8500. I'm seriously considering getting a Phillips HDTV that has an RGB input. What I'd like to do is install an MIT MyHD card and use that for OTA material via RGB. Now comes the tricky part. I'd also like to use my...

In the Jan. '03 issue of HT magazine, they had a four-way face-off between 34" TV's. The Phillips seems like a good contender. I'm just wondering if anybody has any experience with one. Probably gonna pick it up with my tax return check;), unless someone tells me otherwise.

I'll be on tonight, but I'm going to be playing from my bro's house using his gamertag. His tag is: CAPLATINO If you're gonna be playing send me an invite. Later.

You want an exercise in frustration? Try to play "Not It!" and have a Mad Cat be it! I'm trying to hit it with my lasers or auto-cannons or spitballs but I can't, because it's got it's STUPID target jamming on, meanwhile it's hitting me with level 3 PPC's. I swear, I respawned this one time and...

I'm thinking about getting an LCD or DLP front projector and using a PC as a scaler, STB, DVD player, etc. I guess I'll be running dScaler for "regular" TV and such, but what would I need to receive HDTV on my PC? And if my motherboard has an onboard S/PDIF i/o, do I still need a sound card...

Right now I have a JVC 32" TV (AV32F702) and I'm thinking about getting into an HDTV. I mostly watch DVD's and play XBOX Live (too much:b), but I'm in NYC and I think we receive a good amount of OTA signals, so I want something capable of 1080i. Anyway, I read the January 2003 issue of HT...

I'm looking at getting these speakers and got quoted a price, but I don't know if it's a good price. There's only 2 KEF dealers in NYC and one of them gave me a price of $3800 for the following: 1 TDM 23C, the center; 2 TDM 23F, the fronts and; 2 TDM 34DS', the surrounds. Does this seem like a...

First, my system: an h/k AVR 520 receiver; a Rotel RMB-1075 5-channel amp; Axiom speakers, but I'll probably be replacing them with M&K S-150's. Anyway, the h/k receiver has been acting a little "strange" lately and I have the itch...:b I was close to getting a B&K Ref 50, but I decided to...

Just wondering what you guys think is a good price for this piece. I was quoted a price of $3k. Is that too much? At this point, it's between the B&K and the Anthem AVM-20. If I could get the Anthem for $3k, should I get that instead?

What other speakers would you recommend I consider in this range ($2000-2500)? I've got a pair of Axiom M40's right now, they're good but I'm looking for better. I'm looking to get a really nice center, in the near future, with whatever mains I end up getting, so that'll have a bearing on my...

I'm ready to start down the road to separates. FYI, I'll be using my h/k AVR520 as a pre/pro and I have an Axiom 5.1 speaker set-up. I can get the Sony amp, from an authorized dealer here in NYC, for $900. The Marantz, I'd probably get a refurb from ac4l.com for $700. I'm kinda leaning toward...

I have a bad case of upgraditis, plus my h/k AVR 520 has been giving me a couple of problems, so I'm ready to go down the separates route.;) I'm taking this one step at a time, so I'll be using my receiver as a pre/pro 'til I can get (afford:b) a dedicated pre/pro. So I'm looking at getting one...

I have a brand new, shrink-wrapped copy of Training Day for trade. I'd be willing to trade for a MINT copy of: Cast Away Fifth Element From Dusk Till Dawn Jurassic Park 3 Memento M.I. 2 Pulp Fiction Osmosis Jones Seven Star Wars Ep. 1-TPM Blade Runner DC Dr. Strangelove...

Does anybody own this yet? How about a place to find a review online? Thanks.

Earlier this week my H/K AVR520 gave me a minor scare. Anyway, I started thinking about a replacement if the H/K died on me. Actually, I think it's just a case of upgraditis ;). This is strictly theoretical at this point, but you never know... Here's my list of contenders: Denon AVR-3802...

Right now I have Axiom M3's and a VP100 and a pair of JBL N24's bringing up the rear, so to speak. A little bit down the road, I plan on getting Axiom M60's and moving the M3's to the rear. The JBL's will go bye-bye. Anyway, when I have the speakers in place I want to power them with a nice...
