Go with a Slingbox instead of the TV Tuner card. Then you can watch TV on your PC and at work!
I don't think mine is the loveable kind, so I'm siding towards the word's destruction option.
Yeah, looking into the slingbox or the visiontek HD Wonder 650 external one. I'm trying to figure out which gives the best quality. figured I might just do the USB option. either way, my hauppauge 1600 HVR is worthless now.
Got XP until Vista cleans its act up a little.... got a $200 gift card with purchase, so will eventually use it on Vista Ultimate.
The IDE slot is already being taken up (two output connectors to the one motherboard slot) but I havent exactly figured out for what yet. Could only find the spare PCI-e slot and the couple SATA ones that were left unused.
Found a pioneer SATA DVD-burner at Tigerdirect that I will probably get as the second optical drive. Just threw the other one back into the old system.
All I know are the graphics are phat, using the dual Geforce 8800 ultra 768MB's with the Ageia graphics accelerator. Having tried the games yet (need to still install). It just has to smoke though!! Crysis demo watch out!!!
Now I might just see if how to potentially hook up both computers. Only challenge is the audio/speaker setup. Everything else is simple, but the speaker control module only has coax audio connection left on it to use.
