i thought you need a converter set like those plasma tv that comes with a separate component.

i got a spare DVI to HDMI adaptor. ideal for those who want to connect your DVI gfx port to your HDMI TV via DVI cable. RM60 anyone??

Pretty sure i'm the only ignoramus who doesn't know yet, but...

Why does it seem that Silverstone cases are so easy to find (for relatively cheap too) in Singapore?

As opposed to their rarity and highly bloated prices we're seeing here.

Just stumbled on it while reading something else. Sorry if this has been asked before.

Guys this thermaltake casing seems promising to make HTPC....im kinda intrest to build HTPC also !!

Thermaltake Mozart:

This casing i think can easily found around LYN

RM690

HTPC casing is quite a rare item in Malaysia and hence the price. what to do?? we need more HTPC kakis to make these more affordable.

if i'm not wrong, the price come with IMON VFD and Remote like my Cooler Master Media 260.
i've compare side-by-side with Silverstone LC14M and what i can say is Silverstone is 1 class higher in term of material and finishing. with the price of thermaltake, it's the best bang of your bucks. if you have deep pocket, Silverstone is the way to go.

Hi Guys,,
Currently setting up my HTPC but am now stumped with a problem with my Hauppage 150 MCE:

I've connected the I/R receiver to my Astro set top box decoder. The problem i'm facing now is that although MCE was able to 'learn' all of the channels via my astro remote, I still can't change the channels with my Hauppage remote control.
Example : Channel 40 keyed in but ill get Channel 4 on my Astro.
Any idea where i went wrong or wat's the solution?

ryansia, may I ask where you get the all in one internal 3.5" card reader... trying hard to get it in lowyat but many shop say no stock etc... sigh! is yours black? I want black..

VGA cannot convert to component (just by tapping the VGA 15pin Dsub signal) .. you need a transcoder box for that... different type of analog signal, further more VGA is uncompressed "RGB+timing" analog, component is compressed type.. so component video signal is inherently inferior to VGA... even though both are analog..

regarding getting EPG to ur MCE there is a program .. it is called Tvxb read the manual and u can learn how to use it... i hav a htpc by bluedot

oh the hdmi in a card exist but not sure in m'sia .... gc by saphirre an power color 1600 pro and 1 more 7600gt or gs duno by wat brand

hdmi in graphics cards are coming out as we speak, cos they need to address the HDCP issues..

I have an Enlight 3.5" USB internal/external card reader (can fit in a floppy slot) that I bought in LY a couple years back. It's dark grey (almost black) in colour. I'll be looking for more in the future, so I hope they show up in LY again.

can give me the settings needed for astro?

u need to do the learning thingy , let it learn to recognize your remote..btw the response is a bit slow for mine, but i am able to change channel succesfully after doing the 'training' mode

erm the configarations is on the website

i bought at the same shop where i bought my CM media 260 casing. Just PC @ Imbi

it's black in colour, match my black media 260......

not sure if the HDMI gfx is useful for the time veing coz most of the LCD TV is 1366x768 panel and not likely you will get 1:1 pixel mapping. unless u get a 1920x1080 panel.

anyway i saw the saphire 1600 HDMI in HK forgot the price though

Just been to LYP...try to look for some HTPC casing...sadly very dissapointed. Can't find anything like Thermaltake Mozart etc.

Anyone knows which shop got good selection of HTPC casing??

btw, just to share, saw some very interesting in a shop next to O/C paradise.

It's a mini-pc that's really mini. It makes mini-Mac looks like Big Mac. Heck it's just the size of a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, plus minus a little. But it dun come cheap...RM2xxx!!! The CPU is some CPU used in notebook, not AMD/Intel, hence i believe it's slower but doesn't runs very hot, thus making the small size possible as no extra cooling is needed.
