Thanks for the input. I ended up getting the Sammy instead and couldn't be happier.

Ouch, that many views and noone to simply say yay or nay.

Just need some quick input here guys. Just bought a Sharp 46" LC-46D65U yesterday at BB for $899. I use it solely as a computer monitor and have noticed that with the Dot By Dot setting it produces unwanted noise and jagged edges around onscreen graphics, as well as really mauls 720p video (a...

SOLVED : Slave plug on my IDE cable was actually bad, tested it by swapping out cables with my DVD-ROM and CD-ROM. Drive now boots flawlessly and is in use again :D

Nope, no OC, and my pins are set okay. The drive in question is actually a Seagate 80GB Barracuda, worked fine up until now

Anyone think the cable could be bad only on the slave plug? Cause it makes no sense that the drive works fine through USB but not IDE

I'm pretty sure theres a defecit due to formatting

And it gets weirder; I unhooked all the drives, found that the connector running to the mobo was slightly loose, so I hooked only my main drive up, booted up, and it worked perfectly, no NTLDR or anything. But now that my secondary drive is hooked up, i'm getting DISK BOOT FAILURE again, and...

I've run chkdsk and windows error checker, what else is there to check? I thought the harddrive might be dying also, but theres no evidence of that, all files access normally, theres no slowdown, no weird noises, hell I can play games on it right now. And the NTLDR file isn't missing, i'm...

Alright here's the setup : I came home from work, turned on my monitor, the cursor moved around but wouldn't click on anything, so I rebooted. After post I was greeted with DISK BOOT FAILURE - INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER I pressed enter and it popped up again. Then I pressed...

Yeah, i'm not going to get the VAIO. I'm looking at a comp from Tigerdirect right now http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=108707&sku=V133-2390

What methods of payment does newegg accept? I refuse to own a credit card, they are bad news :evil:

Yeah, i've thought about building my own PC before, i've done alot of computer based stuff for about 5 years now, so i'm fairly experienced when it comes to hardware, the only thing I _havent_ done, is the whole process of putting the motherboard into the case and such, so I guess that would be...

Nope cant bench them, im just a normal consumer, cant have that kind of access to them. I want to use them for gaming, but yeah I see your point about the VAIO. I tried to get info on the PSU from Sony themselves but they said they dont have access to that information, and all they could tell me...

Alright heres the deal; I don't feel the need to build my own computer, so I want to buy a prebuilt. I've narrowed it down to two possible models. 1) Sony Vaio RS530G http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?j=1&id=1069301782203&skuId=6244307&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01172 2) Hewlett...
