    posted this on ca.com but i figured this would be a better place to post it since there's more knowledgable people over here guys what im looking for is a coax(rg6) cable connector that i can place on both sides of my window that sends the signal through the window so i can hook up my satellite dish w/out having to drill holes or run rg6 flatwire through my window. not sure what exactly they are called, its a similar device that is on cars that sends a cellular signal through the window. i have seen them before. any help would be appreciated.

    Alright here is my dliemma. I have an office in the room next to my living room. Recently I moved my desktop pc into the office closet (well ventilated) and ran a monitor cable into my living room where a wireless keyboard/mouse and my lcd are. In my office I have a laptop and docking station. Since the computer is now in the office I would like to make the monitor and keyboard in my office be able to control both computers so that I can burn CD's, rip music, and just generally be able to get at the box without running back and forth. My thought was to go to a KVM switch, as there are some cheap ones from Newegg for like $15. The problem that I am having is that my R…

    Well SOE killed SWG (Star Wars Galaxy) and I had stopped playing a month or two before due to not having enough time to play. Well I tried to sell my Jedi Account on Ebay, and soon found out they changed the game so anyone could be a Jedi, making my 2 years of work worthless! lol Anyway, long story short, I traded my SWG account with a guy for a WOW (World of Warcraft) account. I am told I am getting a level 60 Priest thats 300 mining and 190 blacksmith and a level 42-45 Troll Warrior. Since I have never played nor seen this game I am wondering if anyone has any input? Does it sound like a decent account? And is the game fun?

    Dang, wild hair again. I have a 60wx2 chn Adcom amplifier sitting in my closet and think I found a use for it. I am looking at building these near field monitors to be used as cpu speakers. I will probably add a plate amp and an rli8 or something that boxes even smaller to go with them. Should I do it? http://www.zaphaudio.com/audio-speaker20a.html http://www.zaphaudio.com/audio-speaker20b.html I like these for the size, simplicity, and the fact that the crossover is optimized for near field listening. I pulled out an old (real old) Kenwood car audio dual amp balancer that I am stripping apart to use as a volume knob. Just use a potentiometer from the shack and bang,…

    So, what are you listening to these days? I find these threads are always good for me - bring back old favorites (forgotton, or just put aside for a while), discover new music (www.musicplasma.com BTW), etc. I've had some metal blaring for the past little while. "Are You Dead Yet?" by Children of Bodom is a good album (and song) - some nut-shaking double kicks in there. God Forbid and Opeth have been getting some play time. Metallica, especially Enter Sandman, has been put on repeat more than once lately. Classic rock ... always listening to that. Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, The Police, Nirvana, The Who, Tom Petty, Guns N' Roses, Genesis, and BTO have been on heav…

    Well just bought a E-MU 0404 24bit/192kHz Sound Card and some ultra-quiet Nexus fans to turn my cpu into a jukebox. I am going to wire it up to some DIY monitors through an Adcom 60wx2 amplifier, which brings up my question. Would you run an extra volume control in between the cpu and the amplifier. I am having a complex using the computer only control due to the fact that the amp is then "hot" the whole time amplifying anything that comes through the card, but I also don't really want to run the connections to have a volume control What would you do?

    Hey any of you try to compare a FLAC lossless file with a real one? I am just starting to rip my music collection to my PC. My thoughts were to rip it twice. The first time in FLAC to backup to DVD and another in MP3 just to leave on the machine. If the lossless truly is such I would think someone would be coming out with a new HU that plays DVD format FLAC discs, but of course that would be logical. If FLAC sucks is there anything else that might do what I am looking to? The main reason I want to do the FLAC to DVD is in if they change it in the future I don't want to go through the reloading of all the CD's again as it is a serious PITA!

    Anyone have any recommendations on software to turn a VHS video feed into a computer to rip a DVD? I need the software, hardware and it would be a bonus if it would work as a tv tuner as well. I have looked at Newegg and the like, but there are a lot of strange options and I thought someone might have done it already.

    What do you guys use to burn DVDs? I have a couple of scratched dvds, and I want to start backing up my others so I don't have to buy anymore replacements. Nero won't let me around the copyright protection on some of them, so I need something else. My only constraint is it has to be able to make the image, and then be able to swap out the dvd for the dvd-r befor burning it since I only have 1 drive.

    When I first bought my laptop, I was getting about 2.5-3 hours on a single battery. Months later, for some reason I'm only getting <2 hours on a single batt. Startup groups are still the same (as far as I know), program usage is the same, although I'm using more hard drive now than before (possible cause?). Just wondering what yall might think is the problem.
