Basically I want a backlit cordless keyboard with built in trackpad/mouse type doohicky, so I think the only other option is really the Dinovo mini.
It's a pity the G15 doesn't come in a cordless version Or the edge in a backlit version.

IR keyboards...are they any good?
Hi,
I'm after a cordless keyboard and have seen a few of the older MS MCE keyboards that are IR controlled. I have the Antec Fusion case which has the built in IR receiver in the LCD. Will this keyboard work with this receiver?
TIA.

I have read that the PSU in the Antec cases can be noisy, I recently built a system around the Antec case and I found the PSU to be nice and quiet. The case fans though even on low were too loud for me. I replaced them with 2 Akasa amber series fans and plugged them into the motherboard fan headers,...

The 780G motherboards do supprt Hybrid crossfire. If you want to run Hybrid then you will need to buy a ATI 3450, these are very cheap (£24 from Ebuyer). The thing with Hybrid Crossfire is that it will indeed combine the power of both the on-board GPU and the 3450 to get a boost in performance, but...

My current favourite motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G This would negate the need for a graphics card as the on-board GPU will supply 2 monitors. It will though use upto 512MB of the system ram so out of 2 gig you'll only have 1.5gig available. If I were to build another system based on...

If your current system is working as you need it to and are upgrading to get more upto date components then the 780G platform and AMD CPU's will work fine for you. If on the other hand you feel the need to have more processing power to enable you to do the work you need then hell yeah get the Intel ...

Unless the applications that you are going to be using can specifically utilise all 4 cores, then a dual core CPU should be just about right. You could get away with one of the 45nm Intel E8xx CPU's. These don't use that much power compared to the older 65nm Quad core CPU's. They overclock quite wel...

Yes you can use 2 graphics cards to hook up 4 monitors. I would say the P5E looks suitable for your needs. I don't understand this from you.... I actually still have one IDE drive, and it's looking like the P5E doesn't support ATX The P5E does support IDE drives 1 xUltraDMA 133/100/66/ up to 2 PATA ...

Firstly I wouldn't bother with DDR3, it is far too expensive compared to DDr2 and the cost of a DDR3 capable motherboard is also too much compared to a DDR2 one. As for a motherboard with energy saving, try the ASUS P5E As for a CPU cooler, there are a few to chose, bigger is better. Try the Scyth N...

Does it have to be INTEL? You could get the Gigabyte 780G motherboard, the on-board graphics will handle H264 decoding perfectly. It also has the ability to provide 2 outputs for your monitors. If you add another graphics card you can then output to 4. it also has a full HDMI connector. And why Nvid...

The new HTPC biased chipsets from AMD/ATI and Nvidia will handle the decoding on HD content on-board without the use of an add-in graphics card. You don't even have to use a high end CPU. There are numerous reviews of the 780G chipset from AMD/ATI. I have recently built one and it's very good. I use...

If the pipes are empty then yes they would be pretty fragile. I have always been under the assumption that heatpipes have some sort of liquid in them and that they are sealed at both ends. That gives the heatpipes some pretty good structural integrity due to the internal pressure and the fact that p...

You can use both cards to provide a 4 monitor setup. Tom's hardware actually showed this, looked pretty impressive. What I was doing when I built my system up was to have the LCD TV hooked up to the HDMI from the mobo and a monitor hooked up to the VGA output of the 3450. The crossfire application s...
