How do ya like your Hauppage WinTV 1800?
I have mine hooked up to Dish Network and it works well with WMC but the HD tuner won't so I have to use Win TV for my Local HD. But to tell ya the truth I like WinTV better :)

I honestly like WMC better. And I am loving the PVR 1800 - especially as it is digital ready so I don't have to invest in a converter later on....

That looks really... Messy, how much have you added to it? I usually see Dell systems in a very clean state, that one looks like it was just thrown together ASAP...

Not anymore its not. I had to order a new fan and now its as quiet as can be :)

Just open a ticket with your card's manufacteror and they will most likely send you a new one for free.....or at least that's what mine did. XFX is who I got it from.

Why are you using those old fashioned flat ide cables when you can get rounded ones to help with airflow?

Cheers m8. This is my biggest upgrade to date and the one that will probably last me the longest. Really impressed with the processor performance and going from an nVidia 6800GT to an ATI HD3850 has given me the biggest performance boost I could imagine.

Some great rigs in here. I never realised how popular the Antec 900 was :eek:
