thanks for the comments...fat32 is the D drive named Acerdata...and its empty. OS is in C drive named Acer....strange indeed....114gb partition and 13.9Mb used which is probably the format...I dont...

Thanks for the info....No...they didnt provide any disks which I found strange too that I forgot to mention...but I guess a lot of vendors are doing that now to save that extra $1. Upon boot, they...

Yes...I also noticed this...there were very few programs loaded on the system which I consider to be a positive...I think I only need to unload about 2 programs...PC friendly and Norton...

Well gents, presuming I will NOT be upgrading the CPU, I went and bought an Acer desk top. Important specs are: X2 4200+, 1gig 3200 RAM, 250 SATA, Dual layer DVD, XP media w/Vista Premium mail in...

Not exactly...as I personally dont wnat to spend the time building if I can help it....you got a good deal on that Dell....something like that would be nice!

Thanks for your opinions....I will have to think a bit harder but I will take the advice of not going in with "upgrade" mentality for the preconfigured systems...that sux.

I am not an expert but...

Hmmm...not sure what you mean by power supplies...I would think this only becomes an issue if I need to swap out the motherboard which is what I am trying to avoid.

Thanks though...I snooped...

Hey buds. I want a new pretty basic computer and am thinking of getting a Compaq AMD 64 3500+. This system has an AM2 socket mobo. I am thinking that in a couple of years, when I need a faster...

I was looking at the Zune but I wanted a bigger drive. I bought the 80 gig Ipod this weekend from Costco so I can return it any time if it gives me issues. I dont like expensive portable electronics...

I guess I can see the merit in that logic...I guess it really depends on his financials....people report a slight, but noticeably better music reproduction with the 1080...and with the exception of...

why dont you do the 1057 and a 1080 amp instead? save you about $800...

HK5800 is a pretty respectable amp with a very large toroidal power supply and high current capacity...sounded better than my previous Rotel RMB 1075.....I still have one...sitting in its box for the...

LSi15s on Rotel 1080....350w @4ohms...
LSi7 on HK230 receiver...65w @8ohms...? @4ohms.

Sounds good Joey....I saw the pictures of the piano black Minis and it got me wondering exactly how good they are in comparison to LSis...especially the likes of LSi 15 and 25s...

Joey and Unbridled, can you guys chime in on what you thought about the av123 Minis compared to your LSi9s? I am ver curious. Joey, you did an excellent job on your review comparing to your MLs but...

As an owner of a 8400, I will say that the receiver sounds pretty darn good....but be forewarned that it is rather deep. Copper chassis and toroid TF are pretty impressive. Sound quality is excellent...

Also, be forewarned that 15s can sometimes sound strange on some recordings (many classical recordings)...as if the sound is coming from the back of the speakers. This effect is increased if you...

Note: Your Rotel is not enough power for the 15s, even when biamped. You will probably have some bass boominess with the 15s. (I previously had 1075).

Joey, you mean Mark is sending it to you for a demo for free, not to keep (as in yours) right?

Anyways, I look forward to your review. I have 750sigs which I enjoy...I had 250 MK1s as well but...

Thx for the heads up madmax....good read. I have a frankenstein sonic T (amp module embedded in a passive pre from Cliff) mated to RTi100 using an Onkyo AVR as a pre and I love it. It makes the...

Sounds like a plan....get it from Costco...they had them couple weeks ago..I have read that the JVCs may have bulb issues...and customer service is rather bad...(I am snooping around for a TV my...

Hi Mark...I know you are an AV guy...so what are you getting?

I know that people here seem to like Denons for preamp duty. Another forum seem to favor Yamahas. I used to have a Rotel 1068. I only noticed a small difference when I went to Marantz SR8400 for...

radoboy...I suggest doing a different brand of receiver/preamp than the HK if you are going to mate it to the LSi15. HK preamp sections are pretty laid back and sound great with conventional or...

that doesnt even qualify as a "refurb".....:rolleyes:
