    Plastic joystick / controller rant

    A while back, I had decided to dig out my Saitek X45 joystick from the closet with the intent of using it, but then decided to try and sell it and upgrade instead. I discovered, however, that the joystick was coated with a tacky layer all over the handle, like there was something spilled on it...

    HTPC onboard LAN issues

    So I was having issues with the OS drive in my HTPC acting up. The occasional blue screen out of nowhere, stuff randomly stopped working. Ran CrystalDiskInfo and sure enough there were warnings and errors. Ordered a replacement drive to prepare for the inevitable, and then it failed...

    Haven't seen this posted here yet, but there's a kickstarter for an HD remake of Outcast. Not looking good though, as there's only a week left and it's not quite at 50% yet. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/outcast-reboot-hd/outcast-reboot-hd

    Blurry text over HDMI

    Helped my BIL setup an HTPC on his HDTV. It's a 60" Panasonic, with the HTPC connected through HDMI. Video looks fine, along with the desktop, but text is slightly pixelated around the edges. I've made sure it's running at 1080p resolution, and the TV is setup for game mode (there doesn't...

    Castun's massive moving sale thread - Everything must go!

    Win 7 & problems pushing large files over LAN

    I've been moving over some large files ( >1 GB each usually) by pushing them from my desktop to the HTPC over the network, both of which are wired. Occasionally, when copying a block of said files, it will just give me an error partway through. Can't remember the specific error right now, but...

    Dying OS drive, folder permissions, and HD pooling software

    HTPC started acting funny about a week ago, just random crashes & errors about Win7 x64 unable to startup, even though rebooting again worked. Nothing that pointed to memory or CPU problems, so I did a deep HD scan with Window's built-in scanner on the 300GB OS drive, took several hours, but no...

    Recommend me a high-capacity HTPC storage drive

    What drive would you go with for an HTPC media storage drive? My current 2GB is getting rather full, so was looking to expand it with one or maybe even a couple 3TB drives. Not sure what brand or speeds are best.

    Win7 Homegroup woes

    Two problems here related to my homegroup. Suddenly, both my desktop and HTPC are unable to access network shares on each other, except for the standard "public" folders such as Music, Videos, etc. Any others that I've had shared just give me a "Windows cannot access \\HTPC\Custom Shared...

    Is there a FF plugin to override background & table cell colors?

    We've all been there; gone to a website or forum that has some terrible color scheme that hurts your eyes trying to read it because the text and background colors clash. Or even worse, they have a static background image, although at least in this case Adblock lets you selectively block the...

    User CP Subscribed Threads take forever to be marked off as read

    As the title says, viewing subscribed threads in your CP, it takes forever for them to be marked as read. This is something that seems to have started recently, within the past few weeks or so. Also, even when new posts are made, clicking the 'go to first unread' arrow still takes you to an...

    Want a clock display for my HTPC!

    OK, so now that the HTPC has been up and running smoothly for a little while, the biggest annoyance that my wife has voiced is that there is now no clock ANYWHERE in our living room. No more cable box and no more DVD player. The clock in WMC of course is only visible when you’re at the menu or...

    Software solution to stream Live TV?

    I finally got my HTPC setup with a TV Tuner Card - The Ceton InfiniTV4 CableCard quad tuner. The next hurdle of course is being able to stream a live TV channel to other PCs and devices in the household. After much searching, it seems that many other people have run into the same hurdle, and...

    Windows 7: How to permanently remove mapped network drive?

    So I know that when you first setup a mapped network drive, there is the checkbox to automatically reconnect at login. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable that option or permanently remove the mapped location. Manually disconnecting just results in the mapped locations showing up after a...

    I finished building a budget gaming/HTPC for the living room big screen a few weeks ago. It has an AMD X3 3.2Ghz, 4GB of Gskill Ripjaws DDR3, and a Sapphire 6850. I didn't put it through any Memtest or CPU stress tests at all, because everything ran perfectly the first couple weeks without...

    HTPC w/ BluRay - Thoughts?

    So, I was looking into the idea of building an HTPC out of my old parts. How are BluRay drives these days for the PC? Will it be able to play BD movies right out of the box? Or would it be better to just get a set-top player? Was talking this over with my one buddy and he said he looked...

    Building new rig, need advice

    So, I'm toying with the idea of overhauling my current system, and could use some advice. It's been 4 years since I've last upgraded, with the exception of my video card, and I'm thinking it may be about time to pull the trigger on some new stuff. What I currently have that I plan on / would...
