    Problem: NVidia 8800GTS - DVItoHDMI - LCD TV - picture size!

    When you plug you PC into HDMI your TV is mostly in Overscan. This is normal for a TV to use Overscan through HDMI. You can check to see if your TV will allow you to Turn off Overscan but if your like me you will need to try a program called Powerstrip to manually reduce your picture. Good Luck

    I have a couple of questions

    Guys thanks for your input. I do have an old 74gb raptor drive in my current pc. Think that will do the job? I also have a even older 30some gb raptor as well. I guess I could use them both for gaming and grab the 250gb for files. I liked the reviews that people were giving for the PSU but...
