    Good Selling Price For Dell U2410?

    I'm curious what a good selling price for a Dell U2410 24" 6ms Widescreen LCD 400 cd/m2 60Hz 1920x1200 would be? I've had it for about 3 years and it's been in storage for about a year, and have never had any issues with it. There are no dead pixels or any other problems whatsoever. Thank you guys.

    Cooling System Design Questions

    Yes, mine would be all air cooled, i think an air cooler or closed loop would help pull more heat off the cpu, but not sure, might as well they're pretty cheap. Yea ill give it a try. Sounds promising. I cant see any reason it wouldnt work. I know im not gonna get 5C or anything ludicrous, but i...

    Need Advice On Setting Up Home Audio System

    I actually think I found the best solution, which is to not use the 3.5 mm jacks at all, but instead just send the audio out the Digital Optical output port of the sound card into AV 1 on the receiver in the digital optical port and then just hook up the speakers like normal front to front, rear...

    Need Advice On Setting Up Home Audio System

    This still might be possible if I were to use a 1-female to 2-male RCA Y-Splitter on each of the RCA plugs from the 3.5 mm jack to RCA cable adapter, effectively giving me 4 male RCA plugs coming from the green 3.5 mm jack output. 2 of these could go into the Audio input ports, supplying signal...

    Need Advice On Setting Up Home Audio System

    Upon further review, I've ran into yet another brick wall. I believe plugging the 3.5 mm jack output into the RCA Audio input would play that audio to the transducers ONLY, NOT to the AV OUT as well. But...even plugging the 3.5 mm jack output into AV 4 or AV 5 would play audio ONLY to the AV...

    Need Advice On Setting Up Home Audio System

    I think the only way I could think for this to truly work is if I used two of these receivers, sending the green 3.5 mm jack and front transducers to one, and sending the orange 3.5 mm jack and rear transducers to the other, this would give me dual RCA inputs and dual RCA outputs while keeping...

    Need Advice On Setting Up Home Audio System

    On second thought, I'd need both inputs and both outputs on the same input and output (both as Video 1, for example), which I'm guessing is rare or non-existent. Would it be possible to mix the two signals together using a pre-amp/mixer? I've read that simply using a Y-splitter creates horrible...

    Need Advice On Setting Up Home Audio System

    Ok, so I'm trying to send an audio signal from my computer's sound card through a Yamaha RX-V377 5.1 Channel Receiver, which claims to support 100 watts per channel, to 4, 50-watt 4-ohm tactile transducers (basically just a type of speaker) and also a set of Logitech Z506 75 watts RMS with the...

    Looking For Decent Amp(s)

    Well, I think I've figured it out finally after several days of searching and research. I think my setup will be sending the audio signal from the PC's USB Bluetooth USB adapter to a Bluetooth receiver, which then sends the signal via a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable (which has a left and right obviously)...

    Looking For Decent Amp(s)

    Would the SMSL SA-98E 2 * 160W TDA7498E stereo digital amplifier be able to handle at least 2 of the 50-watt 4-ohm bass shakers? Or would the SMSL SA-160 160WPC Digital Amplifier do a better job of this? And, would purchasing a larger power supply have any added benefit for either amplifier? I...

    Looking For Decent Amp(s)

    Ok, so I'm attempting to hook up 4, 50-watt bass shakers to my office/gaming chair via a bluetooth receiver and an amplifier for feedback while gaming the way a controller for a playstation or xbox shakes, but much stronger. The only problem I'm having so far is finding a good amp for this...
