I need to get ambitious and hook my main computer up to my big screen again. Just a pain to game sitting on a couch with m&kb. Sound is pretty good though

You can buy signal repeaters and run cables through the wall if your pc is in another room. Not sure if its worth it if only occasional.

 

Thinking about an HTPC again.

 

Have a TIVO premiere for an OTA DVR after my first HTPC failed, and the new roamio have 4 tuners on their OTA version. Maybe Ill upgrade. Supposedly since I have lifetime subscription I could get 70% of my money back selling on ebay.

Yeah, they showed it today on TV. It was pretty insane alright. I have a friend that did the same thing back in 78, or 79, with a ProStock car, Shelby was a little short on brain power before he totaled that car but after it he just had no fear of anything. :jester:

Hmm lets see.....my wife told me to keep the 69 camaro 6 years ago, I told her I would just replace it later on with a new one. I bring it up last year and she wants to put it toward a house years down the line (my bought new in 05 house will be paid off in a year and I swore never to get a mortgage again, I dont care if Im in my 20s).

 

 

Few years ago I get her to agree to an AR. I find a local place that is in a firearms network linked to hundreds of shops and can get anything. I find what I want and bring it up. Pretty good price, a M&P 15OR for 960.

 

Her response was "Why? What would we need one for?" This from a woman with a CCL and liked going to the range before the ammo shortage.

 

I was speechless.

 

 

On another note, Im baffled that S&W doesn't make their special editions like the MAGPUL edition with the OR model upgrades, like chromed inner barrel. Itd be better to buy the very cheap sport model and the accessories separately

Yeah I could, I already did that with the cat6 cable because at the time I was using my ps3 as a media PC and the wireless would be close to being overloaded with transcoded 720 movies and 1080 would be unplayable. I don't know if I'd want to run a 50ft hdmi cable through the attic, the cat6 was a pain in itself and not something I'd want to repeat. With a "media" pc built out of spare parts and some bought parts I can't justify hooking my main pc up just to play games on a bigger screen and 7.1 audio. Thankfully the klipsch 2.1 speakers on main pc sound good enough to keep me satisfied.
