Recommendation for speakers

ferdelance — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:37:40 +0800

I'm planning to get a speaker for gaming/movie/music purpose which will be good enough for my Asus Xonar Essence soundcard. A 5.1 or 7.1 speaker is what I'm looking at but its a tough job trying to find one that is good and not over-priced. Any advice?

I'm thinking of getting a sound card though I have no idea if its actually worth getting it or not. If I do get it what would you recommend? Currently I'm looking at creative sound blaster x-fi titanium.

Home theater system to pc

ferdelance — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 14:56:36 +0800

I manage to get my cousin old 5.1 home theater system and tried connecting it to my pc cos I'm using a useless speaker that has problems. The thing is the the speaker cables are the old type with the wires coming out. I'm stuck with one cable for the audio and when I try connecting it to my pc only the front two speakers have sound which is quite obvious as I can only plug it into the green audio port. Is there a way for me to get all the speakers working? I've also tried using the digital output but there's no sound.

Hey guys, I'm currently in Singapore working and am planning to get a desktop for gaming and etc since my laptop can't handle games on max reso. I might come back to Malaysia to buy some stuff if its considerably cheaper though if its the same price or not much diff I might as well just buy it here in Singapore. Currently my budget is around 2k~2.5k SGD(3k is max). Planning to get it somewhere in May or June.

I'm having my eyes on gtx580 and i7-2600. Any advice?

Not sure where to post this because apple bytes section is for mac and I'm using windows7 version of iTunes. I have quite a lot of albums that is in FLAC format and it sucks when I can't put it into my iTunes and play it in my iPod. Anyone knows a way to let me play them on iTunes or maybe convert them into ALAC? Thanks in advance.

Space taken but nothing in there

I've found trojan horse agent2.atxc in my external and i did a scan with trend micro. I've remove the trojan which have infected all the folders. After exploring my external theres nothing inside but it says that there's 229gb free of 931gb. Whats going on? should i restore the trojan and try other anti-virus that might heal it instead of removing it? Because those files in the infected folders are all my songs,movie,anime,manga,game ISO and "ahem".
