RE: Help me downsize my PC system

Thanks for the quick reply.
I will not fit all drives in the new system. Just the DVD burner and 1 or 2 hard drives.
I was searching for small cases on scan ebay etc, and kept coming up with matx, or iatx which I don`t want.
I don`t really want to spend more than 200 if can be helped. - do you think that this shuttle would be suitable ?
Shuttle SG41J1or Shuttle SX48P2E Barebone
would an i3 be up to the job of editing video?

Help me downsize my PC system

I have a full sized pc tower, and need the space it is taking up, along with the desk and everything.

Any suggestions on a smaller case which will take an ATX mobo.
want to keep.

Current system comprises:
2GB DDR2 ram
Intel core 2 dup E6600 cpu
AGP NVIDIA graphics card - 256 MB and VIVO - needed as use for capturing video cam video`s
DVD writer
DVD ROM
2 SATA Drives
2 IDE Drives
a few pci cards - inc pci wifi and firewire card
Motherboard is an ASROCK DUAL 775 VSTA - onboard 7.1 audio
PSU is a good 600 watt jobbie as before it was too low and couldn`t handle all the drives etc

Basically I want to rebuild all these into a smaller system, and be able to edit and capture video via the AGP and firewire.

Any suggestions ?

I don`t really want a laptop as all this hardware - which is still fairly capable will go to waste.

Oh , I am running win Xp SP3, But will be upgrading to Win 7 soon [i hope]

Want to spend money on a case and reuse as much of the stuff as poss

Would like maybe a shuttle style system, to put next to TV in bedroom, and use on that. So HDMI or VGA port needed.
I know I will prob need to get a PCI graphics card but which one?

Thanks for any suggestions.

RE: Converting HD files to play on a DVD player

I`ve just got a HTC Desire HD mobile, and was looking for an answer to this same problem.
I have a sumvision cyclone media player [which doesnt support mp4 or 3gp] and was looking at home I could view my videos on my NON DNLA HDTV.
I did convert in Super which produces a blocky video - I always use avi - xvid for max compatibility.
Maybe I need to play with the settings

The mobile records and saves in the 3gp format. I have tried Handbrake and as the cyclones does not support MP4 its output has been a waste of time. [I think think this is geared more towards iphone and itouch users]

RE: Heroes Volume 3: Villains Official Thread

I`m actually liking this, but just waiting for

RE: Anyone know how to stop a persistant MMS from sky ?

Hi Ogster
A quick search on google send s me here

and a reply from vodaphone for a similar problem was either:
[*] If you dont want to receive these message then send a text message to 80275 with the words STOP ALL.
[*] The short code you have stated 80275, is operated by a company WIN PLC and their contact details are 0845 1309911. If you give them a call they can remove you from their data base. It is a short code which is FREE to receive messages from.

Alternatively there is indeed a premium rate text messaging bar which we could place on your account as a simple addition called `PREMESBAR`. This will stop sending and receiving of premium rate texts from you mobile and so any charging would stop.

also further info at that site.

Seen the last one its awesome.

But Katz...

SPOILER:
Peter only took one power from Sylar in the fight - hence why he said "bet you didn`t think i`d choose that one" when he stabbed him in the throat in the car...

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i`m dying are the best i`ve ever had.

yeah u are right.
Peter can only absorb one power at a time.
its a shame though because Peter would be the best hero!!

RE: Heroes Volume 3: Villains Official Thread

At last.
End of season 4

SPOILER:
nathan is dead - but sylar is brainwashed to think he is nathan. what an ending - and peter has all of sylars powers - and is the president [i didnt see that coming - really]
The company is gonna reform too. Hiros powers make him have nose bleeds - in true manga style.lol
And who is this water girl thing that looks like the ice maiden in the preview for season 5

RE: Google Earth problem :s

RE: Heroes Volume 3: Villains Official Thread

Was there any need for this weeks episode
SPOILER:
it showed how the Company formed, and at the end sylar shape shifting into Nathan as senator - another step close to that episode where sylar becomes president.
I thought this was just a filler episode. and alice is like storm - controlling the weather.
just gonna persist tho - can only get better.

RE: Heroes Volume 3: Villains Official Thread

this week was a bit slowed down again but reavealed a bit more

we need hero to get all his powers back so he can do his SPOILER:
time travel thing and kick some butt!!! 8)

RE: Heroes Volume 3: Villains Official Thread

i think its finally getting back on track.
a great episode this week. :)
SPOILER:
Yeah rebel was Micah last week, with him looking a lot older than before. Also tracey is now dead.
The bonding between nathan and claire seems a little soppy to me.
The best bits have to be the collaboration between Danko and Sylar to get the result they want. And I was waiting for a show down between them both after the ending of the episode 2 weeks ago.
just want to wait for peter to get all his powers back

this is warming up...
