If your just into general usage I'd say pick the screen size that you want and go with the best price. If your considering a brand you havent heard about before, make sure you spend some time researching it. Othwerise just about any established brand like Samsung, Viewsonic, Dell, Acer etc etc...

The My Book is one their newer set of external drives. Its shaped like a book. =) I think the problem is probably what rebatemonger mentioned with loose power supply connectors. Im just hoping this is fixable inhouse because I cant enforce a WD warranty overseas..gonna have to start a post to...

Hey I have one of the My Books as well and mine seems to go off randomly too. It started just like it did with you with the drive sometimes being off randomly but has since escalated significantly. I ignored the problem when it started and its with me now on a trip and its giving me alot of...

Hey guys I just hooked up a 2407wfp to my PC. I currently have a 1900XT Im seeing wierd disturbance on the screen at the monitors native resolution. Everything is fine if the desktop is a plain color but if i put an image as a wallpaper I see wierd flickering lines on the screen. Also...

heres where you conveniently package nonsense as a fact heres where you either lie or more likely prove that sony has retards as principle engineers in their QA department which actually does explain alot about their products. Finally heres where its clear that you've barely hit...

I intentionally add the arrogance to my statements when rebutting those made by people who give advice by claiming to know things in areas in whcih they have absolutely no clue. Frankly, I am surprised that Sony was your brand of choice even though you supposedly have all this computer...

I dont have any clients as such but I am the person my friends and family and people they know come to for advice on computers and computer components. Ive owned alot of brands in my life and used even more. Heres my experience with computers. HP/Compaq - 2 desktops, 2 laptops - Neither...

Ok so heres the problem. I have a Intel 975XBX mobo and Im trying to setup a RAID 0 array on 2 36gb raptors. On boot it allows me to go into the Silicon Image Inc RAID utility through which I initially setup the array. Was very easy. Then I installed XP and all was good. Then I tried...

Thanks guys. I will be removing the HSF and packing it separately. Ill also remove the HD's or just the HD cage itself and pack it separately. The GFX card is also pretty big and heavy and so will need to be separately packed. All cables will be disconnected and ted together and then...

Alright guys so I have my entire system assembled and working pretty much. Now I have to take it back home with me on a plane and im wondering what precautions I should take to ensure that everything arrives safely. I know there was a similar post a while ago and I browsed through it then but...

Over the course of 2 years in boarding school and 4 in university Ive seen alot of students buying HP laptops. I cant think of a single one that was any good at all. Ive seen tons of problems with these laptops including screens failing, hds dying, mobo's being replaced, battery problems...

So does anyone know what the best option would be to power 3 monitors and a TV and 2 sets of speakers?

Ok so Im finalized at least on the major components that will go into my system but there are some where I am still undecided. Initally I was only building this for home/business use and gaming but am now considering having it as the center of my home theater also. Current spec list...
