how come this is a story? I am more sick of PC Racing games coming out that don't support Logitech G25/G27 wheels very well (Like Dirt2).

argh, I messed up my bold tags and I cant edit them!

This means that playback of multichannel audio streams found in DVDs, HD DVDs, Blu-ray Discs It would be better if they had native bluray support! I plan on running Windows 7 on my windows media center server. What bluray playing software have people been using on windows 7 RC?

I am using 4 dell 3007WFP 30", 5120x3200 pixels.

I don't know about "touch" screen, but it would be nice to have an auxiliary screen because my projector takes time to power cycle, and you have to turn the lights off, and its wear and tear on the bulb. You can't beat a projector for a home theater setup, but for simple administrative...

This would be great if I had a Lego® themed home theater. I use a quite small but conventional ATX tower computer in my home theater. The HTPC, projector and soundsystem are really the center of my home theater, I don't have any game consoles or cable/DVR boxes, or any other clutter really...

was I the only one who zoomed in on the thumbnail?

these computers are for simple business applications. Have you ever been in a library where they have the computers that only run IE and just show the library catalog search webpage? Its for stuff like that. BTW, I have used a 9400GT 512m and it was pretty slow. The fan never seemed to...

So netbooks break the lock-step of software and hardware progression from generation to generation, growing in size and power and footprint. Higher resolutions, more horsepower, fancier software, etc. I get it, netbooks are counter cultural from that aspect. Software designers can not just...

I find it confusing that they are using the apogee GT name for memory kits, when they are already using it for a watercooling block. probably swiftech and chaintech are related, but still this is annoying.

I have the logitech 890 I think. I bought some z-wave light switches and it works great with them. There were some issues with z-wave compatibility with other products, for instance I wanted to get a wireless thermostat and a motorized shades for the room, and the logitech didn't support those...

I still think the length of the displayport would mean more wasted space, even though its small. The longer rectangular shape makes sense when you have USB and you may want to stack 2 on top of each other, making a more of a "golden rectangle" profile. My problem with displayport is what does...

good info chjade, makes for a decent comparison. I built a computer recently around the 780G and 45w X2 processor which is a bit more powerful than your setup but similar. power consumption is a killer feature of NAS though, and I would bet this system uses twice the power while active at...

yeah, did a google search, you are right, it was released about a year ago. I feel like i just wasted my time reading this. Tomshardware has become disturbing in the last couple years. wasn't there a dedicated small home networking subsite on toms a while back? Where did that go?

Geez malveaux. I don't disagree that these are kinda expensive, thats the listed retail price, they are consumer products and get marked down quickly. But its not like its only market is stupid and ignorant people. having a plug-in simple way to add basic storage to a network has value...
