    Only 2 24'' 120hz gaming monitors on the market?

    I don't get it. All I hear is how smooth and amazing 120hz is for gaming and even desktop usage. 3d adoption may not be great but I am assuming more than half the purchases of these monitors are from users who don't care about 3d. It seems like my only choices are: BenQ XL2420T -...

    20-22in 2ms monitor?

    Anyone know of any 20-22in monitors in 2ms or less for gaming? I feel like 23in is a little too big. I am currently using a 2007wfp and I like the size. I can easily see everything going on at all times around me on the monitor, and would worry that something larger would make harder to...

    Moisture in monitor? Or old age?

    http://imgur.com/a/xv06f Hi there, for a few years now there has been a "smudge" or what looks like a stain on the top right side of my monitor. It isn't noticeable against white or dark backgrounds, so not when browsing or playing games, so I haven't given it much thought or cared. But it is...

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online - Browser Game!

    Still in beta, but you can play online for free. Seems pretty fun. I haven't played TW in years but it seems pretty similar to what I remember. It does not look like there is controller support but haven't really looked into it. WARNING: This could be bad for work / student productivity...

    Downloaded Ram

    Hey guys, I downloaded some more ram here: ****** So far so good - but I was unable to find where to change the CAS latency. My motherboard, an Abit IP35-e does not seem to recognize the additional 4gb that I got. Will it automatically tune the timings in with my old sticks? Should I...

    Format War

    One of the ignored aspects of the format war that hits most closely to home for me is the release time. Not all products have been available on both formats at the same time. Also, as soon as a product makes the transition it is usually no longer available on the predecessor. The bonuses of...

    CoD 4: Grenade Spam

    Back when Team Fortress Classic was amazing, grenade spam was devastatingly good. Wouldn't have thought that removing them would make the game better, but that was what TF2 did, and it worked. Now in in a similar situation, CoD:4 is all about 3x frags and martyrdom for easy kills. Its pretty...

    The Antec Earthwatts 430 is down to $40, after $30mir, with free shipping at Newegg. I got one for $30 a month ago, so you may want to hold out...who knows :P It runs quiet (imo) and has 34A combined on two rails. I think that this is a much better pick than a Corsair VX450 if anyone is...
