    Good universal remote?

    I was wondering if you lose all your "learned" information if you have to replace the batteries? or possibly is there a backup battery in the remote so that you don't lose all your info? by "learned" I mean: if you taught the remote a feature by aiming it at the old remote and...

    Scythe NCU-2000 Fanless heatsink

    I saw a review of this fanless heatsink on The Screen Savers and I am thinking it is just what I need for my HTPC. Has anyone using/heard anything about this fanless CPU heatsink?

    How many households have HT sound systems?

    First HTPC potential parts list...

    Thanks for the help with the DVI HTPC to TV connection! No problem, 512Mb of ram is only $10 more. I would definetly be intereseted in a fanless Video Card (since operating noise is something I am trying to keep at a minimum). However I have yet to see any of the "Ultimate" cards in my...
