Seems like a good deal if you are connecting to a PC. The unit is just a monitor. Does not include a tuner. Whereas the Polaroid 42" 1080p (Black Friday $798 special) did include a tuner.

Is there anyone out there using the Marvell SATA connectors on the Intel Bad Axe 2? If so, could you pull up the "Power State Mappings" for a device connected connected to the Marvell controller and tell me if it looks like this: S0 -> Unspecified S1 -> Unspecified S2 ->...

I tried the DVD ROM drive on a different machine with onboard Intel SATA and the S3->D3 power saving mode mapping does appear. Then I attached a HD to the Marvell SATA port on the Intel Bad Axe 2 mobo and it also now shows up as S3->Unspecified. So it appears as though the Marvell chipset...

The SATA does not have an option of AHCI mode because the DVD drive is connected to one of the 4 Marvell SATA ports. I did suspect perhaps it was an incompatibility with the Marvel chipset. Since I can't connect to the Intel SATA ports (because I'm running 4 drives on that with Matrix RAID...

I recently built a Bad Axe 2 system with a QX6700, 2GB of ECC RAM. Everything seemed very stable, however, while the system would enter S3 suspend mode properly, it would not RESUME or wake up from suspend properly. Sometimes applications would not start, sometimes applications that were...

Well, the difference was $172 in memory prices. In the end, I went with the PC2-6400. I checked the Anandtech Review again and it appears the PC2-5300 they used was quite a lot lower latency, so I figured that there probably was a little more difference in performance than what the review...

I have a QX6700 on Intel Bad Axe 2. I'm not running yet because I don't have RAM! (just received the mobo today) What I want to know is specifically on the Quad Core how much of a performance gain will I get going from PC2-5300 (667MHz) to PC2-6400 (800MHz) with (both with 5-5-5-5-15...

FYI, The XFX 6800GT does NOT run dual 1600x1200 LCDs reliably. The 2nd DVI port is quirkey at 1600x1200. Works fine at 1280x1024 though. (see my post on 2cpu.com forums for details)

newegg has the Radeon 9600 Dual DVI now: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-161-115&depa=1 $129.

The XFX FX5700 is shown as "now available" on the xfx website. The pick shows dual DVI. A search of Pricewatch shows that Axiom might have it. I would like to verify that it is indeed dual DVI before I order..
