Just looked again at your first post and the makefile for sipbomber. It looks like you need to specify the path to where QT is installed. The makefile doesn't initialise this and you can see this ithe c++ command: c++ -O -Wall -W -Wno-long-long -Wno-unused -ansi -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT...

I don't know of a solid solution, but having done some gcc compiles on linux (10years ago) maybe some tips that might help: Its evident from the message that the compiler can't find the qtime.h and qvalidator.h header file (which looks like its from the QT library). This is in the...

What I would try to do first is remove all the drives & USB sticks (unless you are installing to USB) that you don't need and do the install. You (1) do not want to accidentally format drives with data on them and (2) want to eliminate any conflicts. This is relatively easy on the microsover...

Baaack in the day as a student, I used to work and administer Unix networks at campus. Mostly FreeBSD. Its my first foray into Ubuntu, but lots of similar concepts so it is not too hard to learn. I do agree, if you aren't linux savvy (and don't have the time or desire to learn a new OS) and you...

With the Asus cards the heatsink protrudes, and will most likely catch onto the rail which guides the motherboard tray on the HP Microserver. (http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=958208&page=60). The author there cut into the heatsink at the bottom to make it fit. I bought an MSI...

Most of the research I have read shows the nVidia cards to be better supported under linux with XBMC. The GT430 works with the XBMC Live distribution apparently. I personally went for the GT520, which has a lower performance than the 430, but has a 29W TDP. It decodes 1080p + DTS (Passthrough)...

I haven't looked at VLC - I used to use XBMC on the Xbox 1 - and after using various media player boxes, (playTime, eUreka, WDTV Plus - admittedly not the very best ones), Xbox 360, PS3, Samsung TV etc - they never gave me what I had on XBMC. On the Xbox 1 however, there wasn't any HD so I was...

I have a DVD in the box. I'll see if I can squeeze in time to test a boot without a DVD drive.

I've done the install to HDD to make sure everything work and I'm really stoked! I'm getting some flash sticks and the Happauge MCE remote today and will attempt the USB install this weekend. The route that I will go however, will be similar to what I did for the HDD install, as I will be using...

XBMC up and running and getting bitstreamed audio to the receiver. 720p DTS/AC3 play without a glitch, I still have to test higher quality 1080p files, but I don't have any. The next step is to get an infra-red receiver and the harmony remote working. Anyone have tips on where to get an infrared...

d0dja is trying the Xonar Slim in the thread Prince mentioned. However he is using Linux. If you are going windows, drivers shouldn't be an issue. I agree with dotVibe that a better solution would be to go with a graphics card, for better decoding/processing of HD video, that outputs HDMI...

I don't know how updated http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Asus is. Not promising - no audio over HDMI.

I've started on a XBMC install last night on Ubuntu. Was a bit tougher than I thought. * Hardware: I installed an MSI GT520, upgraded the RAM to 2GB, installed a LG DVD drive. * Started with XBMC Live but couldn't get anything to display after the XBMC splash screen * Then started a fresh...

I've bought the 51D550. My primary use for the screen is gaming. So due to that the set is always on Gaming mode which disables much of the processing. So far, I've let the set run in, and am just waiting for my setup DVDs from Amazon to do a HCFR calibration on it. I've got the Sammy 3D...

Thanks KenMasters, I never thought of that. I guess I'll just wait and see what my local retailer can organise for me and probably just stick with the PS51D550 for now.

Has anyone here imported a TV set from abroad? It really grinds me the price Audio Vision is charging for the 2010 P50V20 (R20999) when a new 2011 P50GT30 is $1499. My calc for importing is:   (30% on Price for duties) + (14% vat on (Price + 10%)) + shipping costs = 2180 + 444 = $2624 @...

I'll be hitting the same dilemma next year april when the house is done. My current idea for my setup is to have a NAS box (maybe with a DLNA server) sitting in the computer room (aka study). This will be the media server. For my main entertainment room i'll be building a HTPC with XBMC. My...

A wise man once told me ... everything is negotiable ;). But having said that, I've lost out on good deals by not jumping at them :( The buyer could also have a different perspective of worth - and there are as usual risk factors. Both sides just need to be considerate and engage in discussion...

I spoke to sales people who mentioned that Panasonic has pulled local support for TVs. Audio Vision who is punting the Panasonics at the moment, said they import them directly from Japan. Also Tafelberg Furnishers said they don't stock Panasonic as there isn't local support and they don't want...

:( was hoping there would be some AV specials. Ah well I'm still going to homemakers anyway as I also need to do some shopping and research. Renovations are starting in November. Hope there will be some money left for getting some AV stuff. I'm not in the audiophile league as most of the forum...
