    I agree, if anything hide them with a flip down door.

    If I followed correctly (e6V and e7T), they already do cover them with a door.  I think the question was whether they should offer another model without the door.

    I love my Antec and think it would be pretty plain on the front without the ports, even if they were concealed by a door.  Plus, if there was a door, then my keyboard receiver would require that the door be permanently open.  What do others do with their kb receivers?  Does anyone run a USB extension cable from the back to the front and hide the receiver at the front edge?

    As a sociologist, I love the politics and character development.  The show is really well written from an academic standpoint.

    LOL!  There’s where they went wrong then.  Americans don’t like intelligent, thought provoking shows.  They want their Jersey Shore*, dammit!

    * God, I hate that they film that in my home state.  As far as I know, none of the people on that show are actually from NJ (most are from NY) and most aren’t even Italian.  Jerseyans are nothing like this group.[/size]

    Are you sure that Creative cards, like the X-fi series, can’t output EAX over spdif/coax?  As I’m reading more and more, it seems like they do.

    Yep.  I’ve actually been playing it with regular (stereo) sound without any issues.  In fact, with my receiver simulating surround sound, it even has some birds chirping in the background, which I was pretty impressed with by itself.  Now, I’m interested in finding out if there’s any way to get the EAX functioning, as well.  I’m okay with having to buy a sound card and have separate connections in order to get it working, but I’m not sure if it’s even possible.  I was reading about Creative’s “Alchemy”, but I’m not clear on how it might fit into this scenario.

    Are we talking semantics here?  HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface.  This particular product just happens to be a wireless interface.  There’s also nothing that says an interface needs to be a physical connection.

    I loved BSG and was digging Caprica.  I think Syfy killed it w/ the extra commercial breaks and by splitting up the season.  Also the fact that those guys would fund a movie like Sharktapuss tells me that they don’t have a clue as to what good Sci-fi is.

    The feeling I was getting from people online was that the story was moving slowly to tell an intelligent story.  In other words, it wasn’t reality TV you could watch while leaving your brain on snooze.

    Hope I didn’t ruin it for anyone.

    Fire up some Miami Vice, a bikini is still a bikini whether it is 480i or 1080p.

    LOL!  Well, if we’re going there, then it’s the sun glistening on every drop of water, gently rolling over each subtle curve that makes it hot, though.  It just doesn’t work at 480i.  😉  BTW…  that stands the test for both male and female, so nobody should be insulted.  ;D
