  1. Since these will be a DIY Belle, I'm open for options on the top end.  I'm thinking I'll scrap this idea.  It was one of those later in the night ideas that I should have kept to myself.  haha.  Still deliberating on doing a 2 versus 3 way and would like to go 2-way but seems like the Fatial HF140 or HF200 is the main best options for them.  Kind of out of my reach at the moment. 

  2. I have two more of the Dell D630's for sale....still $90 shipped CONUS.  Also have a Bytespeed laptop but need to get more specs on it and post if anyone is interested.  

     

    The Bytespeed is a 15.6", Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz with 2GB of RAM but I'm going to bump it to 3 or 4GB.  With 4GB installed, it will see about 3.5GB of it but that's still better.  Runs quite good overall.  Does have a DVD drive, too.  Has VGA & S-video out plus a 1394 port.  It will be set up the same as the others.  I'm asking $100 for this one.

  3. I have two of them that are in my kids' rooms but they only use them for Netflix and PlexTV to be able to watch the DVD's on my server.  I have a Roku3 in the master bedroom and an Amazon Fire Stick (running Kodi) that can both access Sling TV where the Apple TV can't. I just have them becasue we had leftover Apple TV 2's after the school I'm at quit using them because they had issues when they were too close and they just didn't really work great for education.

  4. Thanks avguytx ... those links were just what I was looking. Sounds like you were happy with the results changing your crossover from a Ver. 3 to a Ver. 1. I thinking I am going to do the same.

     

    A few questions if you don't mind. Where did you the longer port tubes? How would you describe the change to the low end with the different port tubes? Did you leave all the driver the same?

    I found thick cardboard tube from a carpet supply store locally that was outside by the trash. It's 1/4" thick and very solid. Lowes has some that they let me have but I found the other stuff later. The low end is much more solid and very well extended. I have no complaints at all. The drivers are all stock...I'm not really worried about "upgrading" them.

  5. Before I turned off Satellite, we were paying $125 a month to Dish and $55 for 6mb DSL internet.  Now, I'm paying $55 for 18mb cable internet, $8 for Netflix and $22 for SlingTV.  So about $85 for everything, including internet, versus $180 before.  If I drop SlingTV off till football season, I'd be back at $63.

  6. We used OTA, Netflilx, and Sling TV at home.  Internet speed is 18mb up and 2 down.  I wish I had our school internet speed at home...550mb down and 200 up.  :D  I really only have SlingTV for ESPN so I may cut it off as I don't think any others in the house watch it.  Well, maybe my son on his iPad.  In the living room, I use an Amazon Fire Stick running KODI and have all sorts of other add ons for other channels, movies, etc.

  7. Yes. The workgroup has to be the same for them to share files. The network connection is just what's assigned to the ethernet or wireless adapter. Just like they have to be in the same subnet for access to each other but I'm sure you don't have to worry about access across multiple Vlans like I do at the school where I'm the network administrator. Home stuff is easy.
