Just this week I have been experiencing a problem logging in to AIM. - While logging in, my connection window hangs at step 2. Verifying name & password. - After a minute or so I get the error message "Connection lost. Check your internet connection." - My internet connection seems to be...

I just moved into a new place with a Linksys BEFW11S4 (standard wireless B router) which is about 20-25 feet away from my room. I have a laptop with a Netgear WG511 (notebook wireless G adapter) that can connect to this router with (almost) no problems. It usually takes about 2 minutes to...

I also would like to know what owners of this monitor think comparatively. From the reviews I've read so far, it seems like a great deal for the size and response time. No DVI, but for ~ $300.00 one can't be too picky...

Not that hard or sad really... I spend an average 8-10 hours a day in front of a computer every weekday for work. That's not counting the other 2-3 hours I may spend gaming/filesharing/e-mailing/etc. Although I'm sure this is meant to be taken with a hint of sarcasm coming from someone with...

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I'll be there!! I'll be the guy wearing clothes! ^_________________________________________________^

The 2001FP is AMAZING! Great for gaming and movies and worth every penny of the $674 IMO. Bought mine new for $700 a few months ago and I am very happy with it. - curtyv

Once you get used to 1600x1200 it's hard to go back, especially if you appreciate the benefit of extra desktop "real estate" like myself. I've been using the 2001FP analog (d-sub/vga) input at this resolution for about a month now and I love it. However, the small fonts took a little getting...

Anyone know of the quality / comfort level of this Basy X Fabric task chair? I'm tempted...

I'm planning on buying an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro All-In-Wonder. I read some reviews that say this card is a real power hog. I'll be running it off a 350w power supply with 2 optical drives, 2 hard drives and about 5 fans total (including cpu and power supply fan.) I will also be hooking up a VGA...

yah it's safe

True, very true. the Z2200's seem really nice, but mail in rebates are kind of annoying IMO. As far as performance is concerned, the only factor backing me off the Logitech speakers is some accounts of the subwoofer being very overpowering, which is no big deal knowing that I can control the...

So I want a THX certified 2.1 speaker system, which would you recommend? 1.) Logitech Z2200 2.) Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 3.) Creative Labs Megaworks 250D Right now I'm leaning mostly toward Klipsch, but I'd like to save some cash. This will be an apartment setup with downstairs neighbors, mostly...

Test it out at night with the lights out and get an all black display. Dead pixel test black screen, or even your BIOS/CMOS post screen will let you see it for a second or so. Look near the edges of the screen, mostly in the corners, you shouldn't have to look too closely if the room is dark...

You sure about that? 2001FP on Dell Home It's currently showing me $899. If anyone was successful getting a pricematch, have any pointers? Dealing with Dell when I ordered this monitor was a nightmare and a half.

This is simply amazing! I'm definitely going to call, but please tell me which department you spoke with. My experience with Dell customer service and support has been HORRIBLE. Once I've explained my situation to them they pass me off to another person and I get thrown in the proverbial...
