    i think my video card died...

    I usually leave my pc on 24/7, but recently I've been turning it on/off daily. After a few days of doing this, I recently started to get artifacts immediately after boot. I run 2x 30" monitors at 5120x1600 and this card has been great for doing that for the last year or so. The card works fine...

    a new case for quiet, unintrusive computing

    thanks for the replies... still haven't decided tho. I'm not really sure how quiet an H2O system is since I've never lived with one. And yeah, my psu is loud >_< so I'll definitely look into that. but i'm shootin for 300~400$, don't care about the size, should hold atx though.

    a new case for quiet, unintrusive computing

    I am building a new performance machine since my current one is getting old. The one quirk I have with my current case is that it's LOUD, I can hear it from another room. It may because of my fans on it (Thermaltake Armor w/ 250mm and 2x 120mm (110CFM)), but it's ridiculous. Oh, and it weighs a...

    Dual Monitors and Full Screen issues

    sigh, windowing games wouldn't be a problem, but if i try to play at my max resolution + windowed, it'll stretch over to the other monitor and the fps won't just take a hit, it'll go from 60fps to 10fps because it's on the second monitor. Also, youtube video's don't have windowed mode :( lol

    Dual Monitors and Full Screen issues

    I've recently got dual monitors, and it's great! But, whenever I full screen an application (which uses only one of the monitors), I cannot access any other application on the second screen unless I alt-tab out, such as counter-strike. If I'm watching youtube or something of the sort, the full...

    Dual 30" Monitors

    k, thanks, thought so but I was reading and I noticed the max resolution of 2560x1600 on the box of the vid card so got worried. I used to game a ton on my 24" but getting bored of games, and lots of work to be done coding =\ the joys of dual monitors <3

    Dual 30" Monitors

    I currently have an 8800 Ultra and I was wondering if I could split screen two 30" monitors at max resolution, if not, what kind of graphics card would I need to do so. Thanks in advance.

    "This brings me to the Airlink101, which bears the distinction of being the only product that I can't recommend because of its bottom total throughput ranking, low WQS and especially its inability to establish a connection in both difficult test locations 4 and 5."...
