    My New Ultimate HTPC

    Your right. I had not really looked into it, i just remember seeing the option. I just checked again and it DOES allow uncompressed audio via the HDMI connection on the back. Sorry for the confusion. -John

    My New Ultimate HTPC

    I am currently running win7 on it. Seems to be working fine, as much as I am not a fan of windows. lol. Yes, this motherboard supports wake over USB, I am able to bring the machine back to life using the bluetooth keyboard/trackpad. Everything works really nicely. -John

    New Bedroom HT System.

    THanks for the comment and the link. i appreciate it.. the only reason i stuck to this player was because of the huge capacity. i wanted to be able to keep all my cd's in one place. For dvd/bluray/hd dvd, i now have an LG multi drive that works great! John

    Yeah, those Paradigms were a real rip-off. why pay so much for something that sounds so bad when you could go with DIGITAL speakers for a fraction of the price!!!

    New here and need advice about what to do with speakers

    even if they are PA speakers, they could still be white van. If you go on the theater research website, you will see that they also sell rip off PA speakers.
