    3 HTPC builds. Need Advice.

    Yeah, those PC's aren't particularly small, but the last time I bought something small, it wasn't powerful enough and I felt incredibly disappointed. I also don't know how to build my own PC, so that's not something I'd want to do, and anyone else at a PC store would probably charge $80-100 to...

    3 HTPC builds. Need Advice.

    Looking for a new HTPC. So far these 3 are in my price range. Will these be fast enough to power Kodi running 4x 4TB HD's? Preferably, I'd like to find a computer with at least 4x USB 3.0 Ports on the back, but that seems to be difficult to find in this price range. Is there a big difference...

    Good Gaming Monitor - Need Help

    What's better - Connecting a monitor to your video card via HDMI, or DVI-D or D-Sub? Any other suggestions? I might need a bunch of opinions because of availability in my area. I rather not have a monitor shipped. Prefer to go into a store locally and buy.

    Gaming Monitors & Resolutions

    Hmm that doesn't really help me much. For example - My monitor is 24" it does 1920x1200 natively. Yet it can't even do 1920x1080p

    Gaming Monitors & Resolutions

    I must admit I'm very confused when it comes to computer monitors and their resolutions. 1.) Are there gaming monitors that can do both 1920x1080p and 1280x720p? 2.) If the monitor has a native resolution was 1920x1080p and I lowered the resolution to 1280x720p would it look poor and perform...
