So a couple days ago I got a copy of Coraline in 3D, planning to watch it on my computer. I pop the disc into my blu-ray drive, close it, launch AnyDVD to avoid copy-protection problems, and it announces that it can't detect a DVD drive. I think that can't be right, but sure enough I check in...

Yeah, 60" would be close. Of course you'd still have a bit of a problem of fairly extreme angles to the sides if you're looking at it as close as you would a 20" display. You can fix that by turning the outside monitors towards you with a 3 monitor setup. A curved display would fix this too. Of...

There's no reason that shouldn't work. Depending on the specific monitor, the scaler might do different things with different resolutions. But if you tell the GPU to handle scaling it should work just fine regardless, just as it would on any monitor (albeit at a lower resolution). I would...

Well I've read some mixed reports on that, but nothing recent really. What I've read (from 2011 or so) is that sometimes the quadro drivers will detect the GeForce card, and disable the Quadro features, and the only way to get around that was by disabling the GeForce card in the device manager...

I recently got a 3D Vision set up, and I'm really loving it, but I'd like to be able to use it in Cinema 4D as well so I can get a better preview when I'm doing stereoscopic renders. This however, needs a Quadro card to enable 3D Vision Pro, so I was thinking about picking up a cheap one just...

Really? I'm only seeing them at ~$20 more than the comparable internal drives, plus they're mostly 5400 or 5900 RPM drives I honestly haven't been feeling the limits of having a 1GB card until recently, so I'm hoping moving to 2GB will last as long, but I guess it's hard to say right now. I...

Actually it's sort of the other way around. Sure they made more than they asked for, but that just meant they could broaden the scope of the design, which they did. Now they're actually estimating they're over budget on their design and working on reducing the scope (again) on Broken Age, plus...

Never! Hahah actually I'm hoping to replace at least one of the 1TB drives with another 4TB, and the rest of them as 4TBs get cheaper. They're getting pretty old now; I don't want them failing on me, and now that 4TB is less than $200, it doesn't make much sense to get anything less.

Sure... BenQ G2220HD (1080p TN LCD) Windows 8 Pro 64-bit Intel Core i7 2600K (stock, at the moment) ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional (B3) 24GB DDR3 1600 (2x4GB + 2x8GB, not ideal I know) Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 480GB SSD (boot drive) Crucial M4 256GB SSD 3x Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDD...

I don't upgrade very often, usually only when something roughly twice as fast is available for around $350 at most (Hence the 4 year old HD5850 I have now), so I'd like my video card to be relatively future-proof. With 4K monitors coming down in price over the next couple years though, I'm a bit...

I got it from Memory Express. When the card first showed up yesterday they had it listed at $579.99, but they beat competitors' prices by 25% of the difference and BestDirect had it listed for $395.20, so with the price beat it came to $349. Of course now ME has changed their price to $459.99...

I finally decided to upgrade from the Radeon 5850, and wanted to go NVidia since I (eventually) want to get a 3D vision setup. I got a good deal on the Gigabyte GTX 770 OC ($349.00 + it comes with Metro: Last Light), so I went ahead and bought it, but now I'm wondering if I should have waited...

Putting it in a very dry environment (Such as the rice creates) is sort of like putting it in a vacuum for the moisture. Depending on how dry the air actually gets, this should work better than the fan, because it will actually draw the water out as much as possible, which the moving air might...

You're looking for a PSU without active PFC, ideally passive PFC. Frankly, that's going to be very difficult to find in a modern PSU. Older power supplies and crappy generic power supplies are going to be your best bet if you want to go that route, but you might not be able to find a PSU like...

Yeah I tried that just now, still nothing. I've ordered a new motherboard (From a different manufacturer, I'm fed up with Asus), and I'm RMAing this one, then I'll sell it. Anyone interested in a P8P67? :P
