still trying to figure out what operating system to use and what interface to use for the content. i did some poking, and i know hulu provides some online content, but are there other online services that provide tv channels via web?

thanks ken. the 6800 was a fairly fast video card for the time and i am sure it will do fine with the 37" samsung hdtv i will be using it for. i forgot to mention i have a cheapo SB card that may have digital out. i am not planning on backing up my dvd collection on the hdd. my main...

as the title says... looking to build a htpc from some spare pc parts i have laying around... cable prices are pissing me off (with their poor service to boot). what services provide the best viewing experience for the price by the way? i was reading an article in a pc magazine, and i had...

I have had Win 7 on my core 2 setup since approximately Oct-Nov and setup was a breeze. I did have a little trouble with connecting to the internet as I had an older 10/100 card... but all I really needed to do was hop on another pc and download the drivers and I was up and running. Another...

This is a very broad assumption, but lately I havn't been seeing many good products from ACER. Call me biased, but I wouldn't buy anything from them if I had a choice.

thanks for the site, i found some longer ones.

thanks for the help, im not sure about the phillips, there have been a lot of people complaining about the lack of good customer support/service.

btw, the price range is 50-80 dollars US. i read in consumer reports that the panasonic was good, but heard from other people that the pioneer was good... i know that i prolly just had bad luck, but its hard to go back to the same product that went bad on you. edit: wow the phillips looks...

Hi, I just recieved a toshiba dvd player and it died after a disc or two the day after I got it. Taking it back to the store and just thought I should get feedback before looking again. I have heard that a lot of people think the Pioneer low end dvd player is the best, but I have also heard this...

lol, sorry i was reading faster than i could comprehend. i saw 74 dollars, then 1000w plate amp and i got too excited.

where are you seeing these prices?

well, im sure there are plenty of people here that can help you set it up and save some cash in the process. you could easily build a nice set of towers for 2000$. plus, once you learn about how it works, you will be able to take what you know with you for future use. :emoji_thumbsup:

i dont have access to a nice table saw, so i use a circ saw for most of my mdf cuts. it seems i never have too much trouble getting good straight cuts.
