    Corsair HX520W - $79.99 AR @ Buy.com

    Upgraded from a Seasonic 330 to this in an Antec p180b. Works great and is indeed very quiet.

    Seasonic 380w+8800gts 320mb?

    could you be a little more specific, please, SolMiester. I am in a similar situation and uh there are a lot of GTS threads and no other relevant threads popped up when I searched for Seasonic on this or the General Hardware forums.

    Which is faster, Ti4200 or Radeon 7200

    The 4200 is a LOT faster. IIRC the 7200 was abt at the level of a GeForce 2. Believe it or not the 4200 can do things like run Source and Doom3 engine games at a playable level!

    Forget John Romero - XBox360 and PS3 ARE *Doomed*

    You're thinking of George Romero. John Romero is famous for working at id during their heyday when they made games that lived up to the engines...

    Need Input on LCD Monitor

    It differs game to game, but if the game only supports 4:3 resolutions there will be black bars on the sides, otherwise it can run in a 16:9 or 16:10 resolution and have bars at the top/bottom or fill the screen. Also, if you can go a little higher, you can get a 24" BenQ fp241w from...

    Buy 8600GTS

    As stated above, at $200, I would rather spend $50 more and get an 8800GTS. Passive cooling and a $125 price point could make me think twice. Waiting a month until ATI's new cards drive Nvidia's prices down. Too bad ATI's linux drivers are bad so I don't really have a choice of videocards.

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    people like it on HardOCP. I'll be receiving one on Friday and will report (well, it's the W model but it's the same stuff -BFI). Anyhow, BenQShopper has it for $378 refurbished. Will also report what the refurb quality is...

    Full GeForce 8500 and 8600 scores are here

    That's the point! The numbers are probably fudged a bit and this prevents direct comparison.

    theInq: R600 a soundcard too?

    If it's bit-perfect low-latency audio output and ATI gets their linux drivers in shape, I'll bite.

    G84 and G86 would be consumers.

    Need a new monitor

    the HardForum thread on the monitor states that ones with the newest firmware work fine with the ps3 in 1:1 mode

    mini keyboard advice

    oh that was me. the bottom row of keys is shorter than the other rows, so the thumb is in a slightly less natural position to rest on the spacebar.

    mini keyboard advice

    well, i tried a bunch out. the zippy wk-620 fit my description the best- it feels just like my laptop's keyboard and it looks pretty cool too. the spacebar is a little weird but i still like it quite a bit. also of note is that it has the tilde in the correct place- the upper right. fellow *nix...

    mini keyboard advice

    I'm looking for a mini keyboard that is as close as possible to the keyboard in my dell laptop (i8600). You know, about a foot long with soft yet clicky keys. Any recommendations as to a model? Thanks.
