    Checked this by chance, saw the request for pictures. Too lazy to unplug it all out to show the exact casing/inner setup, etc, but here's a picture of the final setup. :)

    Building a HTPC, already got component list, need advice !

    I've had no success doing anything with it, couldnt even get the mobo to recognize dvd drive, so I just took my htpc hdd, inserted it into my main pc, created bootable windows setup on hdd itself and returned drive into htpc. Everything worked our great, cheers guys ! Thread over !

    Building a HTPC, already got component list, need advice !

    Hitting F8 doesn't seem to trigger anything. Storage mode was set to IDE, with IDE combine enabled. I've set it to AHCI, IDE combine disabled, still the same issue.

    Building a HTPC, already got component list, need advice !

    Already bought it, it works - kind of, anyway ! I planned on installing Windows via USB installation, but so far I'm facing this problem. HDD and USB are recognized in BIOS, but regardless of boot order, or whether USB is connected or disconnected, I get this same message over and over again ...

    Wow. How could I have missed that :O Cheers ! So basically, I'll just set up in BIOS that I want APU running with 3 cores, and that's the end of it ?

    Building a HTPC, already got component list, need advice !

    None of the motherboards for AMD in the price range I'm looking at has HDMI output built in on the motherboard, besides, buying a A6/+ CPU makes me spend more money than initially planned - seems to me, better option would be going with a slightly better GFX card, no ? Cards I've used in the...

    Building a HTPC, already got component list, need advice !

    Hiya ! I've started with my long overdue plan of refreshing my apartment ( wall stickers, furniture rearrangement, new couch ), and with my new plan, my main PC remains on the same position while the TV is moved away approximately 6 meters ( sorry US people, I don't work with ft :D ), which...

    Some videos stop showing up

    Here's the deal - I've got a pretty huge archive of various gaming related videos, some of which are no longer available to download from anywhere, and this is a issue that's been bothering me for quite some time. I have a Samsung Green 1TB drive, that's completely free of any faults, so disk...

    Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

    Hi, thanks for replying. No, that's not what I meant. Windows 7 has a built-in ability to create a virtual wifi connection, provided that the PC is equipped with a wifi adapter - basically, the PC acts like a router for all the other devices. You access that particular ability via cmd...

    Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

    Hello. Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi. I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to...

    Wondering if this RAM will work on this mobo.

    I'm looking to upgrade my RAM ( need more multitasking power at the moment ), and I decided that I'll buy 1600 MHZ modules EVEN THOUGH I have a mobo that only supports 1333 MHZ, due to the fact that I'm planning on a motherboard+CPU upgrade a bit later this winter/early spring. Anyway, I'm...
