    30 inch + LED ?

    I half-seriously thinking about getting a 30" (2560x1600) monitor. Does anyone know if there are any models that are LED backlit? It seems like there are not. If not, does anyone know why not? Seems odd.

    Windows Server DNS Question

    I have a question about Windows DNS Server on Server 2003/2008. (DNS servers are domain members.) I want to add entrys for a zone (lets say zone.com) like: sub.zone.com. However, I want the DNS server to forward queries to an external DNS server (forwarder) for any entries in zone.com that...

    HP ProCurve Switch 4208vl

    I recently acquired a used HP ProCurve Switch 4208vl with four 16port gigabit modules in it. (48 gigabit ports total) From what I understand, this switch is quite expensive. Also, it is really overkill for any applications that I have. Does anyone know of any good place to sell something...

    MS Ebay Cashback Scheme

    I just discovered the MS cashback on ebay purchases recently (20%) and I did some thinking about it. I came up with this idea and I wanted to bounce it off some other people, but it seems too good to be true. BTW: Even if it would work I don't think it would be ethical and I don't think I...

    I put my computer into sleep mode (hybrid S3 + S4) while not in use. However, Vista likes to wake itself up sporadically. I have Ultimate 32-bit with SP1. The computer wakes up from sleep randomly and I do not want it to do this. I have my USB keyboard set as the only device capable of...

    I stopped at my local best buy and they have one LG L246 LCD monitor (display model) left on sale for $389 (about $200 off the retail price). I've been thinking about getting a 24" for a while and have been looking for a good non-TN panel. Does this seem like a good deal?
