[QUOTE="Daveoxo, post: 102002, member: 27941"] I’ve finally built my HTPC and got it running, just a couple of bugs to iron out, I could do with a little from you guys out there 1) Connection to my CRT TV This is proving to be difficult. Firstly may I explain, I selected the motherboard mainly because of the mobile CPU and the HDMI facility But I can’t afford a new TV yet so I’m trying to connect it to my CRT TV Because of the limited connections on the PC I‘ve bought one of these [url]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VGA-PC-to-TV-Converter-Ultimate-XP-Pro-works-on-HDTV_W0QQitemZ160064375598QQihZ006QQcategoryZ72401QQcmdZViewItem[/url] I get a picture but its not sharp enough for normal PC use (I am using it set on RGB connected to RGB scart on the TV so all should be fine) my problem is fuzzy picture So what’s the fix Just out of interest if I connected the computer to a HDMI enabled TV would I get really sharp image? 2) The USB card The front of the LC16M case needs no less than 6 USB connections 4 front USB, 1 for the front control button and switches and one for the vfd/ir module. The motherboard has 4 connections so I bought the USB card detailed below as it has 4 USB ports externally and 1 internal +1 USB header (even though the package box says 4+1 USB) Problem if I make the connections on the inside of the card the not all the features work on the control knob if I plug the connections externally they are recognized as plug and play and work.
