Yep, I use a DVI -> HDMI cable for my PS3 to a computer monitor, output is beautiful. (no fuzziness and crap like my original component cables)Freezer7Pro wrote:

I'mnot ready to throw down cash for an HDTV, but I have all these computer monitors lying around, so I thought I'd put one to good use.

My PSU I ordered from Newegg was DOA (had to take an old, shitty 250W out from an old computer to figure that out, which was a bitch). Went to Micro Center and bought an Antec Basiq 350W and a DVI-VGA adaptor. Put it in the computer to realize that it only had 1 SATA connector. Went and got a Cooler Master 500W, and finally got the computer on to realize that the DVI-VGA adapter didn't work. What a shitty day.

How does a DVI->VGA adapter... not work?

Does anyone know the exact release date of the evga x58 classified?
nope... but why would you want that? Gigabyte, Asus or even the X58 EVGA would do just fine... only difference is the gay NF200 chip that really doesn't make differenceBell wrote:

That's quite handy then, instead of getting an HDMI output like I have and then having to buy a HDMI cable which costs shitloads for the amount of cable you get you can get a free one. Win idea is pretty win.Freezer7Pro wrote:

HDMI isn't that expensive. I have an HDMI to DVI cable and an HDMI cable, and I got each for less than $10.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable no matter how much it costs. A 5$ cable is EXACTLY the same as a 60$ cable. The only difference is that one is a realistic price, the other is a mad rip off.
Also, HDMI carries sound and DVI does not.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
I, per sae, don't buy them. I have no HD tech. My brother bought a HDMI to HDMI cable, cost him better part of £45.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Nah, Cammy would probably think he could get HD through an anolog monitor cable.CrazeD wrote:
