    Very large monitor for gaming

    The delay is probably my biggest concern with a TV instead of a monitor. Anyone know any TVs with a notably low latency? Sound is a non-issue, I much prefer separate speakers (z2300s w/ z5500 satellites) straight out of an x-fi. The current monitor is 1680x1050, which I'm very comfortable...

    Very large monitor for gaming

    27" seems like it might be on the small side, and a waste of resolution (resolution = $). But I suppose there's a decent chance I'll end up with something like that if I can't figure out something better. I had thought about a projector, but there are too many windows in the room...

    Very large monitor for gaming

    I am wanting a really big size, but not too high-res monitor for some medium/light gaming (Diablo, TF2, maybe some BF3, and actually considering picking up something else too). This is the setup (but 8 gigs of ram now): http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=509314 Basically, a GTX 260, SSD...

    Need new PC speakers

    might I suggest the z-2300s? if you can play the waiting and looking around game, they can be found in your budget. and they're solid and ridiculously powerful. overly bassy if anything.

    My HOA has gone off the deep end... Apparently I can't let my grill cool down anymore.

    I just got a notice from my HOA of a new rule that says that no "immobile vehicles" are allowed to be parked here, including vehicles with "one or more flat tires." what the hell, that means that if I have a flat tire, i can't park it at my house? these people are out of control. they asked for...

    it was ~1.538. accurate voltages come in jumps for some reason.

    Overclocking 939 FX-55

    Ok thanks guys. I'm leaving it at 14x210, 1.7V. i know it's not really faster than 2.9 in real life, but it'll suffice to make me feel like i've not wasted my time switching motherboards and all that. Interestingly, i corrupted the hell out of my windows installation in ways i never realized...

    Overclocking 939 FX-55

    Ram's solid, it passed memtest at up to 220 mhz. 2.8 volts. could it still fail one of the other tests? mrsheik, http://picasaweb.google.com/icingdeath88/Xigmathingy# http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=37&threadid=2237115 there's my cooling setup and the forum where I wrote it up.

    Overclocking 939 FX-55

    The release notes of intelburntest say that it's good for amd cpus. and under the previous overclock of 14.5x200, it showed as stable.

    Overclocking 939 FX-55

    Hello all, I'm trying to get the absolute max overclock out of the fx-55 that i'm still running as my main comp. as you all know i'm sure the fx's are like black editions or extreme editions in that they have unlocked multipliers for "easy" overclocking. Also, just so we're clear, this is a san...
