anybody care to enlighten the 2 choices for a custom area to project on inside the house? My screen size will be approximately 122" diagonal. 4ft vertical and 9ft 4in horizontal. I just got the projector and havent even messed with settings yet. the projected size just listed is with no video source turned on so aspect ratio may actually change with widescreen video played... haven't tried yet.

Ok, I have a computer allowance for my day job and the budget is right around ~ $1500 USD, but can go a little higher then that. I am just looking for solid choices and reasons why they are the better choice. Main needs: Quad Core CPU (preferably i7) Strong GPU 4 - 6 Gig of ram decent size screen Reliability Uses: Heavy duty modeling and design SSA daily stuff BOINC crunching (very CPU and GPU intensive) Limitations, needs to be from Newegg or Amazon. I have been looking for over a week, and have had my eye on a couple, but wanted to get a few educated opinions. Bromo has been of assistance, and I wanted to see what a few other people thought. I had considered using t…

So guys, I'm having a problem with youtube streaming. I can watch a video and it will stream quite quickly on any website except for Youtube, It takes ages to load. Even Myspace video's stream much more quickly than Youtube. It will take several minutes even for lets say a 00.47 second video to load. Site such a Vimeo, Megaupload Video, College Humor, Etc will load faster. I have a fast Internet connection about a 4Mb connection. Below is my DSL Speed Reports.

Alright I'm starting a topic here because there is a lot of discussion in the H0P and I wanted to keep it all straight My Dad wants a new desktop. Our current one has a Pentium 4 1.5Ghz, 512mb of RAM, 127gb HD (replaced after it crashed), DVD-RW (recently purchased) and a CD-RW all housed in a Dell Inspiron 4300 case. We have a mouse, keyboard, new flatscreen monitor and speakers that can all be carried over to the new comp. The reason he wants a new computer is because this one is getting ridiculously slow. I honestly don't understand considering we do the same thing on it for years (and recently had it reformatted when the HD crashed), but I guess parts just get old? …

I'm wondering if someone has any idea why a website would just stop working for me? Here's what's happened. A little over a month ago I was on a website and for some reason the pages stopped loading. I kept getting a message that said the internet could not connect to the website. I thought maybe the site was having problems, but after a week it still wouldn't work. Started checking with people and found out that the site was not down. I had about a half a dozen different communications with my ISP and they had no answer for why it wasn't working for me. I tried clearing out my cookies, deleting my browsing history, etc. I even went so far as to reinstall my OS. None of t…

So i just got portal, and i have been playing tf2 for Months. what is wrong is that for some reason when i'm in game certin elements keep resizing them selves. i think it is a graphics card problem but i dont know what to do!! for instance. the cube in portal shrinks then grows, same with the doors, and the pointer shoots to the corners. the menu is either too small or to large. ill try and get some pictures up soon. my Graphics is a EVGA GTX 285 stock.
