Snakehn Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Nice guide but... what's the point? getting all that hardware takes more than a day and now, actually having all that components in your hands, you can build it in..... 1. getting all the pieces together...35-40 mins 2. configuring bios...5-10 mins. 3. installing Windows...30-35 mins 4. installing drivers and setting up everything however you want...40-45 mins total : 2 hours Having your machine now alive!! working with no conflict... Priceless my friend! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger.Girl Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 This guide covers everything that is possible to be no use to someone having problems setting up a HTPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnmnky Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 What? Hardly a guide. but ok. What about suggesting alternative to spending $4000 on something that is possible with spending $50 on a video capture enabled card. "multimedia pc" doesn't necessarily mean "a pc that can record live tv" btw. I have a $80 Pc that I class as "multimedia" it plays movies, and it plays music. therefore _MULTI_ media.

lnmnky Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Aren't you going to respond? 585450927[/snapback] WTF Do you want us to say? want a cookie or something? My opinion : 1. Hardly a guide. It doesn't guide me through the process. It just tells me to do slap some hardware together. Which to a noob they wouldn't have a ****ing clue. 2. make it a web page 3. Add some graphics 4. Add some proper definitions, and back info on terminology. 5. Need a FAQ section, like : What does IDE mean? What does RAID mean? What does Video out do? Can I have two monitors? Can I have a stereo attached? How do I configure my surround sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random_user_uk_1234 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Shouldn't this guide (poorly written I might add) be renamed to 'How I built my computer in one day'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Yeah...the Media part was pretty vague, all it tells you is how to follow the setup for windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveblueoval Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I want to see all of You do a better job at making a guide, we should be patting him on the back for doing a decent job instead of cutting him down, Your all so superior aren't ya.
