why wouldn't you...? unless you're talking about if it has the necessary ports that a television requires.

yeah that

[Uncle Bengs]

yeah that

well the case doesn't really decide that, all visual stuff (HDMI, DVI) is the GPU and USB ports and stuff like that is on the motherboard. what are you going to connect to the TV with anyways? HDMI?

HDMI yes

[Uncle Bengs]

HDMI yes

then all you need is a GPU with a hdmi port i believe. if you dont feel like getting one of those i think theres a DVI-HDMI adapter you can buy.

[KoopaScooper]

I'll probably get this one.

Dude, USB wireless adapters fail miserably.
If you're trying to do network-intensive tasks like uploading files and such, get a PCI Wireless card.

[Otis Da HousKat]

I wouldn't call any architecture with over a thousand useless instructions for video processing (MULTIMEDIA) from the 90s badass

Overclocked Intel SB-E 6-core, i7-3960X.

It goes from worst to best, i3, i5, i7.
Although i3s quite honestly are on par with the highest Phenoms.

I must admit, I'm not a Mac expert.
It could be video drivers not responding. Do you have the latest video drivers?
Although TBH I'm not even sure if Mac's have video drivers, sorry.

What good video tutorials do you suggest? I've watched the newegg ones and they were really good.
