Hey, very nice photo and congratulations on a nice center channel speaker! What the hell is that huge black box under the table with the two big black donuts? ;D C'mon Chuckie, You know what that is. I showed it to you guys first. Maybe you didn't recognize it because it is laying down instead of standing up.  Nice handles on those nice drawers of that nice dresser.  |

^ Nice! I bet it shakes the foundations with the 1300W ICE amps! Careful.. it may rock your center channel speaker onto the floor ;D Hemster, this was my cement driveway after a few hours of testing my eD A7s-650................. pulverized!!  Nice cement driveway. Pulverized!? ...Who cares? Still nice though. |

Just finish my HTPC upgrade, Actually I'm using from my previous computer not too many parts: old HTPC case, WD SCSI hard drive and LG DVD burner. So I bought those components:  When I've turned it on first time Win 7 was so fast that it reminds me a bit MS DOS times ;D For interconnection I planned to use flat HDMI cable from Monoprice but it looks like I should wait a little bit with my purchase  Now My HTPC: cpu - AMD Phenom II X4 (955) motherboard - ASUS M4A89GTD PRO memory - Kingston Hyper X 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz graphic card - ASUS EAH5770 CuCore (support HDMI 1.3, Dolby True HD/dts-HD MA) primary HD - Corsair Solid State 64GB secondary HD - Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 1.5TB and my old Western Digital SCSI 75GB DVD-burner - LG GH24LS50 Light scribe power supply - Corsair TX750W OS - Windows 7 64bit |

That HTPC looks like it would be a ton of fun to build. I wish that I had the know-how to do that. Looks like fun and looks like you've got yourself some nice parts.

Fun project, don't get my gears turning on a PC build. I need to save for retirement. I do need to upgrade to 7 though.

Thank you guys for your response and for the link! It's really lots of fun even considering I didn't play with overclocking yet. This motherboard has interesting OS feature (among quiet impressive overclocking potential) It's Hybrid OS (Express Gate) which allow you to access Internet BEFORE entering Windows, just in few seconds after you turn on computer. For HTPC I've got Windows 7, 64bit version (I'm using 4 GB memory). Combined with solid state hard drive, faster CPU, etc., it's way, way faster than my previous (Windows XP based) system. As I've wrote before Windows loading time almost as fast as MS DOS used to be |

Fun project, don't get my gears turning on a PC build. I need to save for retirement. I do need to upgrade to 7 though. Come on.......I know you wanna do it. Here's some inspiration: I'm sure it will be added within the next couple of years. Being in the middle of nowhere makes it easier to avoid. I'm waiting for 100TB drives so i can do it right when I do it. I have to get more use out of the ERC-1 before I make it obsolete. I do want that new DAC though. I had that coffee table back in the old country. I loved that thing, it was heavy and huge and looked good. Now it would take up half the room.  After looking closer that looks like the smaller square one...Still won't fit.  |

How do you guys post online when all your computers are in pieces on display? LOL. That post made me think and count. I have nine computers in the house between my fiance' and kids and enough spare parts lying around to build a few more. I only have eight TV's though. Don't ask about stereo gear.  I'm kind of a gadget/technology freak. Animo- Looks like the last shipment got delivered to my house today for the subwoofer kit. I'm surprised the kit was delivered in three different shipments on three different days. |
