  1. Also your mobo would have come with drivers for the SATA. I know my ic7 did, and they had to be installed when installing windows XP, originally I couldn't find a way to get them working correctly without a reinstall. Now i just have to get it overclocking correctly and everything will be all good...

    HTPC ?

    This is the predicament I am in, do i take the guts from my old computer which was just upgraded and build my sister a computer, or do I build a HTPC for myself, I'm leaning towards sister, I could use the good karma.
  3. That first one was to the husband from the wife and mistress. They were none to pleased with his actions. The guy who carved it was looking and thinking something looked strange and then it hit him. Funny but true.
  4. You do have enough friends to put butts in these seats right actually I'm guessing friends won't be a problem, you'll be the Lebron James of your town's home theater market... don't forget who your true friends are.
  5. I'll recommend the (i believe self titled, either way its their only one) album by Denali. The lead singer can really sing, plus she's super hot.
  6. depending on where he gets them from he would have the option to trade them in towards the newer speakers for a certain period of time. He could look into that.
  7. Don't shoot the messenger! The speakers are designed to reveal every part of the recording. Whatever you had previously probably added distortion to everything you listened to, so you didn't hear the differences in the CD's. Now that you have speakers which are free of distortion themselves you are now able to hear the imperfections in the CD's. Of course if you don't like the Klipsch sound take them back. Its not for everyone and you shouldn't feel compelled to use something that is unpleasant for you.
  8. Go, its definitely worth the money. "FREEBIRD!"
  9. No, I'm pretty sure the last time he was knock down-sloppy drunk he promised to give it to me...
  10. The above is solid advice. I have the Infocus X1 its solid, I see the rainbows, but its something I've been able to ignore, they don't bother me at all. And with the higher speed color wheels I hear they are becoming even less of a problem. I still can't get over how great projectors are. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back... its sad really.
  11. I am interested in an RC-3 if any of you are still offering.
  12. Hmm, that thing would pump air around a room like a ceiling fan... that's bolted to the floor.
  13. Hmm... maybe I missed the point...
  14. Oh man, where were you 8 years ago! I coulda really used that back then!
  15. .wav's have to be enormous. but mp3's would probably mangle the singnals unless you went with loss-less compression, but then you'd be getting back up into .wav file size again. There's probably no good way to do that, too bad, it sounds like a killer CD.
  16. Turns out one of the wires had come off. Tweeter put it back on then crimped them since the other wire came off when they tried to put the first one back on. So a simple solution after all.
  17. I always prefered the stiff shafts for greater control, I'd much rather hit it straight than long. I always found it too easy to over swing the club when using a flexible shaft and really putting the ball in some bad spots. With my steel shaft driver I would always get a good 260 right down the middle. I need to get golfing again, working at a country club, golfing for free really gives one a lot of practice.
  18. has anyone with a 5.1 setup ever put all the speakers on the same wall? That wouldn't work for DSOTM since it is designed to envelop you, but for some others it would probably give a very unique experience. I fully expect noone to ever do this, but I do think it would be neat to hear.
  19. I have the Infocus X1 its light (under 7 lbs), moderately bright in presentation mode and has a 2000:1 contrast ratio. It also looks superb, yes rainbows are noticable, but that's because I knew what to look for, as of yet not a single person I've shown it to has mentioned them. And they don't bother me, they very well could bother you. B&H photo video usually has good prices and a good return policy, plus they carry the Z1 which is basically the LCD version of the X1, but by Sanyo I believe. They are in comparable price ranges, but there is a 100 dollar rebate on the X1 plus there was a free extended warranty.
  20. I hate to say it, but you aren't making any sense.
  21. I have it, looks and sounds good to me. I have it running through an infocus x1 through the s-video connection. It seems to have fairly good bass management, which is a good thing for sacd. I use an outlaw 1050 with klipsch rf3II mains and the sound is good when run through the 5.1 pass through. Edit: I have the same sub also.
  22. Before I ever bought that I would hope that I donated a whole bunch of money to charity, otherwise I just don't think I would feel right.
  23. Being in chicago I'd have to say the best pizza is from "The Art of Pizza." Its like Giordano's with superior sauce and crust. Connies, Uno and Due have sauces that don't really do it for me. If only I wasn't 1 block outside of Art's delivery radius.
  24. Not to butt-in, but I got the sense that his toungue was planted firmly in his cheek as he typed out that post.
