    Is a $600 2005fpw (20.1" Widescreen LCD) really worth it?

    I can never give up my crap ass KB. I love the crispness and crackaly sound of the keys. Its about a 15 year old IBM KB with NO WINDOWS KEYS (big point here to, hate them things)

    RAM running @ 1T

    I use 1T on my Mushkin value ram 2x512MB. I have fairly loose timings otherwise though (at work, dont recall offhand what they are)

    BFG GeFoce 6800

    I have the BGF 6800GT OC model. WoW and HL2 both run at 1680x1050 widescreen with all visual settings maxed. Everything is flawless. I've yet to see a stutter.

    Why am I STUCK AT WORK?

    10 more minutes and I'm headed home. Hopefully I'll be on the boards tonight from my new PC. And so begins my quest of OC'ing....

    Why am I STUCK AT WORK?

    Well I went home for lunch and low and behold, fedex arrives. I got it half installed right now. I am amazed at my self restraint. I actually came back to work!!! (though I plan on sneaking out an hour early hehehe). Man my nerves are fried, I just want to get up and go! 2 more hours...

    Why am I STUCK AT WORK?

    I know exactly how you freaking feel. I have my motherboard CPU combo on the truck for delivery right now. I have been without a PC for over a week now due to it frying and I am about to go crazy. My apartment complex office however can sign for it when you leave a note at the door. 5 more...

    My brand new 160GB SATA drive only shows 131GB!

    Not sure, but nearly positive that you will have to repartition your drive (then reformat)

    Monarch order taking forever - slight rant

    New Rig I am building

    As most people will probably tell you here, ditch the SLI mother board and get a single 6800GT. By the time your video card needs to be upgraded, you'll probably want a new CPU(possibly MB) as well.

    See the entry underneath the forum categories to the left? SEARCH Seriously, it's been discussed many times.

    Is the MSI "K8N Neo2 Platinum" the board to get for AMD 64 overclocking???

    Its a very nice board I hear (mine is arriving middle of next week) for OC'ing. That is if it works. MSI's quality control is crap. I'm getting a combo from monarch(where they assemble and test it before shipping). So hopefully that will spare me some RMA's (Watcha bet they just assemble it and...
