You should also note that the US is a pretty big place what state and school you will be going to will be very different from others. I know some people think the US in genera is New York city

And don't forget that the power adapter is set to not only power the laptop at 100% usage but also charge the battery quickly at the same time. The atom powered htpc will probably be comparable to the power of your laptop in a year. Unless you can think of anything else get some use out of that old laptop while you…

If your adviser keeps blowing you off and never meets with you get a new one

WD or Seagate is what I buy

make sure your school will allow you to set up a router before you try the airplay. Some schools won't let one on the network and some won't let you have one period.

False although I haven't tried it I imagine the only think worse than a zombie trying to eat your brains is a zombie trying to eat your brains that is on fire.

one of the worst starts is the speaker up there unable to get things working and everyone thinking he is just about to start and he has to wait for help

I think some time should be taken to familiarize yourself with the presenting area primarily any equipment you will be using. ex microphones, presentation machines, projectors.

I doubt you get hd audio it just doesn't seem to be a priority to people I wish you got better but think about it how many people do you know with a huge lcd tv that still uses the stock speakers... Its just not that big a deal to them. Me, I would rather sacrifice some screen for some better sound.

What do you tune a system besides stuff like RTAs, I have a sweep from 20k to 20 for balancing volumes and eq a little (mainly just get the amps set to reasonable levels subs + mains)

I can turn off my motherboard LEDs in the BIOS but on other things I cover them up either with gaffers tape to completely cut off any light or painters tape to dim it down. Specifically I have a brother laser printer somewhat under my bed and the large power buttone lights up the room pop the lid open and the led…

I believe the issue is with drm and can't really remember how to get around it there may be a transfer purchases somewhere in the ipod part of itunes that may work

What laptop specs are you currently running it may be best to fix your current one and save up until something else starts wearing out for a proper replacement

If the time comes I will probably stick with remote once…

I'm not an expert but besides being quiet I don't see to much advantage to running a ssd on a server except for maybe noise and power consumption (unless you already own it). Also if you are going to be streaming everything I think I personally would take out the GTX as it would just be a drain/heat machine. Sounds…
