    Confused how to make this idea work!

    S-Video would be the best because the maximum length for it is much higher than say RGB. A RGB (15-Pin) PC connection has a maximum of 75' for a well shielded cable. S-Video can be run with RJ-45 cables. The problem with S-Video is that it won't display high def. If you can place your...

    ***Official THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST Discussion Thread (including THE PASSION RECUT)

    For anyone that has seen this, I heard there is not a lot of dialog and that if there is, it is subtitled? Just wanted to know what to expect when going there.

    My laptop won't boot up - "Operating System Not Found"

    Yep...If the bios doesn't notice your hard drive, then there is definitely a mechanical problem with it and if you wanted to recover any data (which you said you didn't) you would have to pay someone to do it via hardware.

    My laptop won't boot up - "Operating System Not Found"

    Usually a ticking noise indicates a hard drive and the hard drive is usually in a bracket inside one of those compartments. That boot disk will not let you see your hard drive because DOS is FAT16/32 while Windows XP Professional is NTFS so they are incompatible. What you can do is: when...

    New Battery Time

    The battery is used when the alternator can't keep up with the current draw or if the alternator is off. If you didn't have problems before with dimming lights, etc. then I would say just stick with the less expensive battery. A Capacitor is used when there is a large drain for a very...

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    LCD does suffer from "burn-in" but from a different. After an extended period of use, the LCD will exhibit ghosting/etc. What you can do is leave the LCD off for 1-2 days to allow it time to "refresh" itself and then when you turn it back on the image should be improved.

    dual sized wall plates with binding posts

    I purchased some 12-port dual-gang boxes for $2.60 at milestek.com 60-10145 is one of the part numbers for a white colored one. I do like how yours had the label portion which would be easier to label.

    Post Pics of your Car setup

    The Optima Battery fix works for my application, albeit not as good as a higher current alternator. The reason that it works is during highway driving or when the RPM is above 3000, the alternator is putting out the full 90AMPs. When the vehicle is idling or at a stop, then the alternator puts...

    What speaker's should i get?

    I am running Infinity Speakers in my car (albeit the Kappa series) and am extremely happy with them. They produce enough bass but since my car is a piece of crap, they rattle the doors. Definitely recommend Infinity over anything else for a modest budget.

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    I have read most of the replies on this thread and couldn't help wondering if people are messing up the 16:9 and 2.35:1. They are 2 different aspect ratios. 16:9 is really 1.77/1.78:1 and 20:9 is 2.22/2.35:1. They don't make widescreen TVs with 2.35. That is why you see bars on the top and...
