I admit, I keep a whs with at the moment 10tb of storage. I put all of my dvds and movies on it. That way all the xboxes and ps3 see them. (I use ps3mediaserver for my upnp w/transcoder). It makes life easier to have all my media everywhere in the house without hauling around discs that get

It archives dvd/bd, for those that don't have or come with a digital copy or predate the agreement for that purpose. While it will -eventually- be paid software, right now its beta, and you can't buy it even if you tried. So as of right now the 60 day is just code, and they have promised to

Re: [H] Best board and chip going right now?

Problem veech has is the 680i will support almost no shipping chips, and nvidia basically bailed on the chipset market. Sent via BlackBerry -Original Message- From: DSinc Date: Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:58:30 To: Subject: Re: [H] Best board and chip going right now? Veech, I do not know f

I'll be honest: in a comparison between antec and even pos generic supplies, my luck has been about the same. I have no love for antec psus. If you want a no-name with surprisingly good quality, check Nspire. Sent via BlackBerry -Original Message- From: "Greg Sevart" Date: Thu, 28 J
