I would rather get a Samsung. Whenever I look at a Vizio next to a Samsung, the Samsung has a better picture. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They had a Toshiba at sears next to a Vizio, Toshiba looked better. But then i noticed that the Toshiba was directly connected to a BluRay pl...

Vizio baby - ive got a 42inch as well. had it over a year now. Side by side vs. all the other big brands - it beats them handsdown.

TOR_LordRaven

[ohh man that looks cool]

why thank you.

TOR_LordRaven

Just thought id give you an update. Took a broken Fan, and clipped the wires leading to it. Stripped the ends and spliced them with the LED Bar: http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu18/romeonate/04-28-09_0808.jpg Two wires leading to the fan, one was already on the Yellow/12V, the other was ground. ...

TOR_LordRaven

then.. DO NOT combine the yellow and reds. Cause that would make it... +17 V

Only use 1 yellow and 1 black then - yes?

TOR_LordRaven

fliptw wrote:for 12v you need all 4 wires.

black is ground, obviously; Yellow is 5v and red is 7v IIRC.

Ohh, okay.

So to power the 12v light, I will need to run the Yellow and Red together to the LED., and run both of the black cables together to the LED's other cable.

TOR_LordRaven

Actually, I think i may have figured it out - see what you think: Got a broken Fan, it is attached to one of those Pass-Thru power cables. Power in on one side, power out to another device on the other. With two wires already split out to the Fan. Clipped the two cables leading to the fan, and will ...

TOR_LordRaven

So.. I would need to tie all 4 of these wires into the two wires coming off the LED Bar ?

Any idea on how I should pair them up?

(Yellow/Black from PSU to Black LED, then Red Black from PSU to White LED) ?

So, doing a little Case Modding - I pickedup a Neon Light bar from the Auto Section at WalMart. Requires a 12v connection. Didn't realize it at the time (Mostly because the box was sealed and I couldn't tell) but the wire that comes with it has just two exposed ends. No plugs or anything. Well - doi...

Buying shares in Interplay was never a wise thing to do, even before the economy tanked. As I said in April last year, they had a lot to redeem themselves for. Depends on how much you spend and how much you can afford to lose. A friend of mine bought some last year at 5 cents per share, then sold t...

TOR_LordRaven

yeah - I got both actually, nTune and RivaTuner.. Riva seems a bit eaiser to use. At any rate, my system Memory came with heat-spreaders, but I am thinking about getting an active cooling solution for them, something like this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Edp...

Portal was awesome - I too just recently got into it. I beat it last week, then turned a friend on it and let him play. The game changes the way you think about linear movement*, and its very interesting to see how other people would solve the problem. Like on one level - he did it a way I didn't th...

TOR_LordRaven

Funny you mentioned that about the PSU. I had a 350watt in my system when I bought this card. That was plenty to run the old one (GeForce 7900GT). But the new one required at least 680watt to run in SLI mode which I plan on doing in the next couple of months. So I had this card on my desk for a week...

TOR_LordRaven

Well - I know its not dust, the card is about 2 weeks old.

Maybe the memory itself got too hot. The side-case fan has plenty of air-flow right onto the memory itself - so maybe cranking that one up cooled them down enough.

Thanks for the Input Krom

The up-coverters work. I had a Standard DVD Player/Up-Converter to 1080p, and it works great on my 42-inch LCD... The one I got was a WalMart special for $40 and it did the job nicely... until the CD Tray broke.. then I went out and got a Blu-Ray player that also up-converts. And I have to tell you ...

TOR_LordRaven

To answer your question Flip - The best way to go is to stop the access at the Router. That way you don't have to configure each individual machine, and there is no software that they can figure out how to disable. And yes, I believe that router you listed does support the \"Blocked Sites\"...

TOR_LordRaven

So I was playing Half-life 2 the other day... and the game itself had been running for like.. i dunno, 8 hours. I played some, ran to the store to get some snacks, while I was gone a friend played some, got back, we kept playing... Then, we noticed that some of the textures started looking funky, a ...

TOR_LordRaven

Blasted! okay - i know the tracker goes down from time to time - guess i'll just have to wait :-/

TOR_LordRaven

No dice - cannot find server.

Seems if it were the tracker then I wouldn't get any servers listed? i dunno.

any other ideas?

Why not compare them head to head? Get an ATI system and play Mirrors Edge, then play it on a nVidia system with PhysX - see which actaully looks more real. as for RedFaction - their \"GeoMod\" engine was pretty cool, but it wasn't real physics. in fact, if you noticed, you could shoot a w...

TOR_LordRaven

BTW.. Mine is with DirecTV, and the HD-DVR has an ESATA port on the back to plug up an external Hard Drive to save shows/movies on. Its pretty sweet.

TOR_LordRaven

I have the same thing capm - that is a HD DVR that allows you to download \"On Demand\" content off the internet. (its not TRUE onDemand, cause you have to download it first, but it does not take long). Spidey - The switch may be your best option. I didn't have ANY network ports running to...

TOR_LordRaven

Yeah - but then again, I don't want to spend more than $200 on this system in total.

The CPU I have should still be able to play most of the new games out there. Sure - not as fast as a Multi-Core system, but its still pretty quick considering I won't have to pay anything extra for it.

TOR_LordRaven

Gotcha - yeah the price was an over-estimate. Should include shipping and stuff like that.

Im thinking I am going to go ahead and build the system with a new MoBo. Should be pretty stout - at least the \"weakest\" part of the system will be the CPU, which in itself is pretty fast still.

I am building a Budgest system out of spare parts, but of course - I want to get the best product out of spending the least amount of money. Important to note, this will *not* be my primary system.

Thats kindof the idea. In this situation, having an SQL backend is not possible at the moment. This is for a local intranet, and they don't want to deal with a database. I figured having individual htm files to hold the content and a single php file to call them would be simple enough - but looks li...

i will move it to a database sooner or later...

but for now, id like to try this with htm files first.

Interesting, thanks for the info Krom. Still not sure why it worked fine before the firmware update. Mabye because the router was passing my public IP before, but after the update, its changed to an internal one. Who knows - as long as it works (under \"active\") then im fine! Thanks again!

TOR_LordRaven

Actually, now that you mention it, i have not had this problem in the past until I did a Firmware Update on the router.

It wasn't an ElCheapO router, got it off TigerDirect for about $250 a year ago... Linksys WRVS4400N

Could have been something screwry with the firmware...
