Hey Kaos does that overscan bother you? I am thinking of hooking mine up to my 27" HDTV via the ATI dongle. Thanks.

I find this weird, how on earth can you put a computer near to audio equipment? It must really kill the sound quality. Even switching one on that's on a different ring main is bad enough for me.

Sorry, couldn't help myself....
My HTPC (which will be coming home soon - acting as my workstation right now) is a P4@3GHz with 2G Corsair XMS, dual SATA 80G Barracudas, ATI AIW 9700 vid, Terratec Space sound and NEC DVD burner. On the other end of the ethernet cable (which will be coming home at the same time) is a terrabyte server with 2.53GHz P4, 512M 1066 RDRAM.....

I do have my own plans of building a terabyte server on the other end, as soon as i sort a few things out.

I GOTTA know how you're gaming @ that res. I've been wanting to, but it only allows me to do it @ 1024x768, 1280x960.....bleh!
You using Powerstrip? What're the clipboard settings? We're both using Hitachi widescreen RPs, so your settings will work fine on my TV. :)

Sorry for the large images, took them with my minidv cam didn't realize they were so large (just got it) thats why the pics look a little grainy also (frame from a video pretty much). I use the Sony GDM900 monitor driver just to enable windows support of ALOT of resolutions, but powerstrip is a MUST own for anyone running a HTPC. Also unless you are running through a DVI port and have the same 2003 57S500 I doubt my settings would work. All I did was add custom resolution in powerstrip, move the desktop over to the left and saved it to a hotkey.

You're ultimate source to HDTV PC Gaming in widescreen. It explains how to run any resolution with UT2K3 and 2K4 just remember to change your FOV (field of vision) to 100 or 110 when playing in widescreen. WOW the FOV helps alot in deathmatch.
