    OK, it took a shit-ton of work but I finally got it working.

    The really short story is, I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate 64 to properly clear out all of the codecs that CCCP installed.

    Installed CoreAVC codecs and checked CUDA hardware acceleration option by going through the loooooong tutorial for setting it up. I couldn't get it to work properly though. It said the taskbar/quick launch icon would be green if being used and blue if not and I never could get it to show green, so....

    I overclocked the processor to 2.0 (1.999 actually) and that seemed to do wonders. Now, movies that were taking 100% CPU and were completely unwatchable are now playing perfectly and only utilizing 7 - 13% CPU.

    Fantastic Skizo! Glad to hear all is well. So it is playing 1080p now or... I ask because i am planning on getting one for my Brother soon. How does it act with general computer stuff? Internet and such.

    Yep. Playing 1080 stuffs just fine.

    I wouldn't try playing games on it or anything but otherwise it seems OK. There's a small lag when opening Firefox or IE. Videos take a couple seconds to open, etc.

    Now that I have everything tweaked, its quite nice.

    On the 46" LCD.

    I'm still shopping for just the right keyboard though. I really want the Logitech diNovo Edge because it's rechargeable, but I refuse to pay that much.

    Actually while browsing around the other day I came across this and thought of you (well me too).
    http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=e...3&lv1=12&no=53

    It's not a rechargeable bluetooth solution like the Di Novo, but it's not an arm & a leg either ($84.99 @ newegg).
