Re: Almost 20 years

My best memory is having a fun group of people to talk about life and tech with. I started reading TR about year out of high school and joined the forum like 6 months later. This website is part of an amazing time I had in my 20's. I didn't hate anyone but I had a few spats. It's good to see a bunch...

Re: HTPC case problem...

I would like for it to fit in with everything else, but I am not going to trade good looks for all the options I want (Low noise and power to play games from cpu and gpu) so if I have to use a regular case so be it. Price is not really a issue. That tv put a nice hole in my wallet but might as well ...

HTPC case problem...

Hello all, I just bought this TV and I am building a HTPC for it. The problem I am having is the video card I picked out is big and needs pretty good ventilation. So that limits what cases I can use right off the bat. Most of the cases I find are just plain ugly or don't meet my needs. Other parts g...

Re: 11-year-old with a cell phone

It has been a long time since I felt a need to post. Almost all problems or questions in general are answered pretty fast these days. But thought maybe my input might be useful here. Children and cell phones are a pretty common thing these days. The fact is that they are just growing up a lot faster...

Re: UnitedGerbilNation's drive to the Top

I know it seems like it's little when you look at the gpu's but don't forget why this is done in the first place. If anything part out all that kit from the farm you have and buy some 8xxx or 9xxx cards.

Re: Thoughts on PC gaming in the living room on TV?

When I made my htpc it replaced my desktop computer. You get a good wireless keyboard (with built in track ball) that feels ok when sitting down. As for shooters get a tv tray (or build yourself something like it that works), wireless number pad, and wireless mouse and you are set. Throw in a 360 ga...

Pre-owned Toyota around $3,000 - $5,000 [us] will last you as long as you want it to with regularly scheduled maintenance. Can't go wrong with either a corolla or camry.

You know I never liked comcast but since we are paying for 8.0mb internet and getting 24.0mb internet (by far the fasted I have ever had). I don't really have a lot of problems with them at the moment.

I have been a console gamer from day one. Don't buy a 360 unless you have a hi-def TV. Having said that.... Build a htpc (or use you current one) and hook it up to said TV and enjoy the best of both worlds. I game on the TV for both console and pc games.
