I just checked and Newegg’s still there. Going down the right side of the home page, there’s the QNAP review, an “interests” box, followed by the Amazon search box, then another “interests” box, followed by the Newegg link.
Do you have NoScript of ABP installed? If so, in NS, you need to unblock Newegg and any other ad domains you want to be able to see. In ABP, you’d need to “disable on missingremote.com”.
On a related note, do you not find the front page news interesting? Or, is there another reason you skip to the unread posts, such as a lack of time? It’d be interesting to have this kind of info from our visitors.
I’ve never used MC, in any form, so I can’t offer any opinion. But, I know that when I started looking to build an HTPC, MC never entered the picture, due to what I was reading about it. (At this point, I don’t recall what that was.)
I just read that Starz is [url=http://theclicker.todayshow.com/_news/2010/10/04/5229244-starz-to-recast-for-spartacus]recasting the role[/url] of Spartacus. As the comments over there say, those are some big shoes to fill. I’m willing to give it a chance, though.
I don’t see Fringe going anywhere either. The ratings have been pretty consistently high, if I recall correctly.
I also watched the second episode of $#!& My Dad Says and think it was even funnier in the 2nd episode. But, it’s not a show which I’d be upset if it were canceled. Then again, not too many WOULD upset me.

btw…anyone else amused that 2 of our most avid forum members, Meester and Jennyfur both missed the poll?!?!okok, so no excuses…everyone knows there’s a new Blu-ray poll on the homepage now, right? 🙂

It was only up for a week. I think the results may have gone more toward MC if it had been up for a month or so. I voted in the new poll already, too.

I came back to this thread after how many hours its been since I posted, and so its been on my mind what I said, and just I want to say I don’t think the poll was biased in any way, or was it intended to get a certain outcome. All I’m saying is that a good number of Sage users come to this site, as its one of the few that I know of that continually posts Sage-related news.On the contrary, if this poll was on Engadget, it’d be much different. I’d say XBMC/Plex/Boxee would do much better, probably than 7MC.
In all, I think I could have used better words to get across my meaning. I’m not trying to imply any intended bias.
[/quote]LOL! No harm done by your previous wording (which I still have on my phone’s RSS feed), at least not in my mind. I was planning to respond with the fact that I actually think this site is more heavily trafficked and populated for MC users, which is why the poll results surprised me. As a SageTV user, I generally feel in the minority around here. I definitely didn’t think you were saying anything about bias, either. That said, it’s nice to see someone consider that something they wrote MIGHT have been misconstrued and try to correct it ahead of time.
Oh yeah… welcome to the site!
Same here… MKVs via SageTV.
I like the USB port not being behind a panel since mine are almost always in use by something. I have the wireless keyboard receiver plugged into one at all times and the other one is used for thumb drives pretty regularly.
I have a Pioneer VSX-1015 I’m no longer using. PM me if interested.

I do wish they would remove the (giant) Volume control on these things though…
[/quote]Like many people, I don’t use it, but that would be an awful sparse front if it wasn’t there. I’m not sure what else could be placed in that position, though.
That was my original assessment:
[quote=”Skirge01″]8. No Ordinary Family
It sounds like a live-action version of The Incredibles.[/quote]I think it is currently holding true to that, too. That’s what made the cartoon so enjoyable… the family issues dealing with super powers. I’ll never forget the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOvzCI9n5J8&NR=1]scene at the dinner table[/url]. Same family issues; just more variables.
Great choice! I love my Antec Fusion (silver, no IR receiver), so that one gets my vote. ;D I’d be hard pressed to go with a different case next time. It looks really nice with the rest of the A/V equipment.
I immediately thought of FF in his performance, but I think that character works quite well in this show. If they can continue with the family problems, rather than turning it into a “baddie of the week” storyline, I think it’ll hold up.
If you truly need the half-height, obviously go for it. As you said, you will definitely be limited in the choice of hardware. You may also find that parts may be more expensive. So, if you truly have a choice and a full-height case will work, I would definitely go that route. As you get into these builds, you may not see what other uses you’ll come up with, where you may need more cards or more power. I started out with a full HTPC and quickly realized I needed to break it out into a server/client setup, due to how quickly I was expanding my storage capacity and all the cool things I wanted to run (comskip, FTP, backups, etc.).
We watched the 2nd episode of Outsourced and I’m damn near embarrassed to say that I’m going to watch the 3rd episode. There’s enough going on to make me wonder what’s going to happen next. Quite honestly, I WANTED to hate this show, but I have to admit that it’s holding my interest.
