Monitor on the right and a 6FT HDMI cable I got today.  I have speakers that sit on top of the monitor, heatsink and fan for my PC, and Microsoft Points coming tomorrow.

Thats my stream/recording setup.
what the deal with HDMI cable prices? Seriously.

You either buy them online or not at all.
What do you mean "Whats the deal".  I paid $5.99 shipped from newegg for the 6FT cable.  Its works great for my stream stuff.

Why would you ever remove them, other than to replace the battery?
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

Pft, fans. Who needs those? My new (well, demo ex) POS (point-of-sale) terminal doesn't need even one.

There's a whole computer with 1GHz of raw 5,5W, 90nm Celeron ULV power in there, as well as 160GB of storage space and 1GB of RAM! It's also touch enabled via a Fujitsu resistive touch controller with its net above the 15" XGA display, which is encased in a 5mm thick aluminium case.

That's actually very doable, and the manufacturer (FEC) have models for applications just like that. However, the downside is the price; you can get an Imac for cheaper than most of'em.

That's Swedish, actually. I just tried to start from my USB CD-ROM drive, and this is the CD that was inside, heh.

Just purchased a set of 5.1 speakers... has three 3.5mm inputs for surround sound. Was planning on using a y-splitter so that I could also use the audio out on my monitor but splitting the green cable (for 2.1 channels) causes the audio from my PC to become distorted... am I screwed and I just need to use the built in speakers on my monitor? I really don't want to go behind my PC to unplug it and plug it back in to my 360 and so forth every time...

Oh, shit.  Backorders for two HD6950 1GB are now shipping.  Got them for $180 each, but don't need them now since I recently got the 580...

I can crossfire them, but how much worse would it be versus a single 580?

I could always put my 580 on an i5 build that I have been putting off for ages.

.  Yeah, just read some articles.  But Witcher 2 currently has some issues with crossfire, so I'll probably hold off until I've had my fill of that game.

You can also buy audio splitter boxes. Sort of like KVM switches. Not sure on their price.

I got myself a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and a single chip today.

https://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac7/FF_CCSa1F/ps2adapterochip.jpg

This USB-to-PS/2 adapter (Device ID 0x0020, manufacturer ID 0x0e8f) is lovely. It supports KB/M, KB/KB or M/M, hot-plugging of them, and it's even compatible with my PPC Mac, something which wasn't quite the case with my old one, which required me to plug it into a computer running Windows in order to initialise, and then, without breaking the power, moving it to the Mac. That was rather cumbersome. And the <> key didn't work.

I've always hated the extra weight of adapters like that. Prefer ones with some wire to space the bulk away from the port.
