I don't know much about pinball machines but since I haven't seen it mentioned I will throw it out there. What about hyperpin, this is a pinball emulator that allows you to play pinball games much...

I agree that a raid setup will have much better performance but for a media server this is not something that very important to me. Most of the data on a media server doesn’t change very often;...
Yes i'm using hardware pass through. For hardware pass through to work you have to have compatible hardware. The supermicro motherboard supports this. The controller cards that im using had to be...

The purpose of this thread is to detail my Unraid server build. I will discuss what hardware components went into this build and why I chose Unraid as my OS of choice for this server. I hope this...
If you bought a windows 8 laptop there is no need to buy another copy of it to install on the same computer. In your case the computer either came with the windows 8 installation dvd or it has a...
The downloads are pretty much all me. We dont have anything like netflix. I do download a lot of stuff that I dont see myself watching in the near foreseeable future. I dont watch movies often but...
Im not downloading any porn :) Most of the time I use newsgroups and most of my downloads are done overnight outside of peak hours. Im not sure how much of my usage is my grandma's IPTV being on all...
Pretty much all download.
Good to know. Another option i'll have to look into.
My grandma lives with us and she has IPTV. She leaves it on all the time, its easier for her. Im not...
Currently I'm on the most basic Shaw internet package and I frequently exceed my bandwidth usage. I'm currently looking at companies that offer unlimited broadband packages. My needs are to find a...

Very nice home theatre set up eblend. That home theatre set up looks like its coming along nicely cet, looking forward to reading your avs thread and seeing the completed project.
Near the end of the of the episode they show Walt cooking again and when he and his apprentice are finishing up cooking they take a short break to watch tv. There is an infomercial with vince the...
Every episode is so good. I think Skylar will eventually probably die/leave. One thing that they bring up on the show is how she started smoking again. I think she might find Walts laced cigarette,...
I just checked out a few episodes. This show might not be for everybody, but personally I find it funny. Ive only seen a few episodes but, the thing that makes this show funny is its unscripted. The...
Im surprised we made it this far without that pic, and I somehow managed to blindly walk right into it :)
I can understand the need for empirical evidence but I think the level of proof that some people expect is unrealistic. I agree with Sagan that the bigger the statement, so should be the level of...
The drake equation is just an estimation as to how many planets could possibly have some form of intelligent life. New information is constantly pointing to the fact that our planet is not as rare as...

Im a huge KITH fan so Im loving the reference. Some of you made excellent points. I have read The Demon Haunted World (never finished it though) and I disagree with some of what Sagan said....
Here are some crappy pics of my home theatre setup.

I would agree regarding the production value, whats amazing is they've had so many seasons to get it right and they still messed up. I really liked the spiketv format, it looked polished. I can...
Im not up to date on the latest and greatest but I think pretty most projectors made in the last year or two will be 1080p projectors. If your looking to buy under ~3000 and want an LCD projector...
It doesnt have to be super expensive but it will cost you. If you want to get something cheap and useable right now, build a htpc for ~300.
Check out this thread for various htpc builds:...
Handling 8-10TB isnt really an issue in my opinion. There are a lot of htpc cases which will hold 4 drives, so you can easily have that much storage in a htpc. I think the three big issues that you...
There are no networking issues between windows 7 and xp, they both use smb. I dont think hardware acceleration is supported in xp, in your case might not matter much because your cpu is very...
Take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=94199 it has many good cheap barebones buillds for ~300.
If you are looking to do things on the cheap I suggest the doing a...
Are you trying to stream 720p or 1080p?
Wireless will not stream 1080p mkv files. There arnt many options that would make that work, you simply need some sort of wired connection.
In order to...
Just checked the prices, shit prices moved up by about to 20 or 30 bucks, wish I bought last week, need some more storage, but will try to wait it out.
Wow these things continue to get bigger every year. Please post some pics and your impressions when you get that thing set up. Ill also second the projector recommendation earlier in this thread....

I havnt seen any pictures of the interface yet. I think it only scrapes from a usb source at the moment but still cool that they have something like this now. I like how the wireless is built...
I can try to do this next weekend, although there are plenty of pics/ theme trailers online. Is there something particular you want a picture of?
Wow this thing turned into a giant shit fest quick. We all have different needs so there's no need to harp on people that chose the mac, likewise if you believe a windows laptop delivers more...
The RROD happens for different reasons, most are fixable. Avoid the towel trick, you will do more harm then good. Most of the people doing the fix will be doing the xclamp mod. You can do this...
I really liked this season and thought they did a good job with the finale. The series as a whole has been consistently good quality. I also thought the terminator scene was cheesy but I think there...
My sister knows which knives she wants. Her husband is into cooking and likes these sort of things. They paid around a grand for a set of knives. The four steak knives I will be getting will be a bit...
Change of plans. She's trying to convince me to buy her some expensive steak knives instead, she says she doesnt need a laptop but I saw on her browser she was looking at some. I think she just...
Funny enough my sister drives a prius
Agreed, I thought that the mac vs pc argument might stir up some stuff but I wanted to get a balanced opinion from people who actually use this stuff....
Thanks for all the good advice guys. Part of me wants to get the mac because my sister already has never used a mac but has other apple products like the iphone and ipad and love them.
