    Costco.com: Sceptre 42" 1080p LCD TV - $1999

    Now, the question is, has anyone ever used this for gaming. And if you have, how does it respond?

    New Screen protection idea for PDA

    The thickness of the caulking exiting the tube is purely based on how big of a hole you cut in the nozzle. If you want a very thin bead, cut a very small hole. Just be careful when you are cutting it, because you can always cut more off, but once you go too far you can't undo it...

    New Screen protection idea for PDA

    You could try some clear window caulking. I don't know if it would damage the screen or not, but it does tend to remain plyable after usage.

    Anyone have shots of the 24" Dell LCD vs the 30" Apple LCD?

    I have the Dell 2405FPW. Lovely monitor, and at under a grand, can't be beat. However, little puppies like this 37 Incher are coming out soon. 37" for about $2000, hard to beat.

    Big Typhoon = Big letdown?

    That looks like your problem. The ambient air temperature around your computer is 7C cooler than your CPU, I'd say the cooler is doing a great job.

    Cheap RAID 0, how to?

    Which OS are you using? If you are using a recent windows OS, you should be able to span the drives with the disk management console.

    DFI Lanparty SLI and Dual Monitors?

    This is also something I'm interested in. Although 3 monitors would be better.

    PC on 24/7/365...?

    Think of it like a human (not that this is really applicable) One that runs around all the time, might have occasional complaints like sore muscles (a reboot here and there). One which sits at home all day and does nothing will develop major health problems.

    I usually keep data (My documents, etc) on network shares (RAID 5 array on a Domain Controller)

    PC on 24/7/365...?

    I've historically kept my systems on 24/7/365 with the occasional reboot here and there with no problems. While systems I have kept off for extended periods of time I've had all kinds of problems with.

    Help me choose SCSI vs SATA

    All the SCSI drives are 10K drives. I'll check the prices on Ebay for these things. Thanks

    Help me choose SCSI vs SATA

    Well, it sounds like the logical choice would be to go with the newer SATA drives. Hmmm, now, what do I do with these SCSI drives? Paper weight?

    Help me choose SCSI vs SATA

    The 7200.9 500 gig is faster than the raptors? Do you have any benchmarks? I would also imagine multiple spindles would be faster than a single spindle. Additionally, the 500 gig Seagate is $374.
