Got the solution.
The new generation of Philips LCD TV's have lots of picture and input signal enhancements (HD Motion, Active Controll, 100Hz, and so on...). This causes an input lag (100mms- 200ms delay until the picture can be seen on the screen) and this is the reason for the "laggy" mouse movement!!!
It is possible to...

The fusion case isn't an option here, can't set a desktopcase, otherwise I would've gone for an Antec one allready.
Have to use a mini-tower, but I've found a new one from gigabyte yesterday. Now I only have to check the shop if they can deliver it...
[edit]
Should be here somewhere mid january :D...

I'm just tired of my SA 8300HD from Cox. So, maybe I can build something better.
I just picked up a sweet MB the GA-MA78GM-S2HP. I tossed in an older AMD 64 FX-62 Dual Core. I also tossed in 1GB of older 800 DDR2 ram. It then got 500GB of SATA 3.0 disk and 2 128GB Raptor drives which are in a RAID. Yes, its overkill...but in a good...

Hey guys, new here. Just sharing my build with you guys...originally i built this PC with the intent of using it primarily for work and occasional browsing but things change haha eventually I'll probably convert this setup into a server (seeing as the case is rather large) but since this is my first HTPC build i figure I'd learn...

Thanks for the welcome. as for the TV card, I really don't watch TV shows, that much. I basically built this to watch DVD's. I don't know how many times we rented DVD's and never watched them. Also, my youngest son has a collection of about 500 dvd's, that he has ripped over time.
As for the wlan, I'm already looking at a possible...

I have recently purchased a Club 3D HD4650 (passive cooling). I purchased this card because I would like to have 5.1 sound over my HDMI connection. This card is supposed to be able to do that according to the specs and tests I have seen.
However, after installing it, I can't get it to output anything besides the stereo configuration...

True, although I never said it was the most important factor, merely something to watch out for during the initial case cooling tests. It's interesting the confirm the long held belief in some circles that thermal expansion / contraction stress from 'excessive cooling' is bad. Still, with anything your mileage will vary, I like to...

Also part of the problems seem to have stemmed from the fact that I was trying to load this XP Micro version that I had. I may have been doing things right, but the micro version may have been lacking some support for Raid.

someone mentioned that in hardforums too. I think i'll give it a shot this week. I'd give anything to get the machine to go quieter. i'll fill you in. Besides, it'll be a waste of a cooler not to have it.
