    Ultra X-Finity 500W PSU (Titanium) $19.99 after $35 MIR + free shipping @ radioshack.com

    Back in stock. I ordered 1. For the price, the supply can't be beat. I will admit to having one and the fan seemed to not work correctly. Ultra shipped a new one out very quickly in advance. This also seemed to have a fan that did not work correctly. The supply itself seemed good, just the...

    Sparkle 400w PSU, 37.42 shipped @ Ewiz.com

    I used one of these in a build for my buddy. It seemed pretty quiet. I don't even think I could hear it over the few other fans in the rig. I actually like it enough that I also purchased one from the same link.

    Panasonic 50" Plasma hdtv (TH-50PX60U) $2699.98 Today Only CircuitCity.com

    Nice price. I play games on my 42" plasma that I got almost 3 years ago. No worries with burn in. You do need to take care of them though. After playing a game for long hours, I use the screen wipe feature for ~ 20 minutes and everything is fine. It may sound like a hassle, but I feel that...

    gt or xt?

    I just got in on the MSI X1800XT 512MB deal from newegg for $243 A/R. Even at $300 it is a deal. The 7900GT is very comparable to the 7800GTX's I have and would take the X1800XT over them any day. It seems that the X1800XT is more consistent with FPS with the min being higher than the min for...

    ewiz has 1GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive for 25.95

    I've had the Super Talent 512MB version for a year now and no troubles. It is very fast and it even went through the washing machine about a half year ago and kept all the data. Good thing it didn't make it into the dryer though.

    Monster cables

    Monster cables look soooooo good though! If you have loads of money to spend, Monster cable is something to help get rid of it, although there are more expensive alternatives. Me, I just bought some GE Ultra (or something similar) component cables and audio cables from Target for pretty cheap...

    Akai 42" HD-Ready Plasma Display TV @ Micro Center $1199 AR

    Sony is nothing like it used to be IMHO. True, I do own a Digital Handycam, PS2, and will buy a PS3, but as far as audio/video equipment, I stay away from them.

    Akai 42" HD-Ready Plasma Display TV @ Micro Center $1199 AR

    I've really enjoyed it for 2+ years I have owned it. I don't think you could go wrong, especially if it is Fujitsu/Hitachi and for that price.

    Akai 42" HD-Ready Plasma Display TV @ Micro Center $1199 AR

    Wow, nice price on an HD plasma. My Hitachi plasma is 1024*1024. Just the pixels are rectangular to give a 16:9 ratio. It is great for gaming (BF2, CS:S, etc...), but for stuff with a lot of text, the rectangular pixels are not great.

    ATI X800XL PCI-E Refurb $136 Shipped

    Nice price. They also have a sapphire crossfire edition refurb for 150. Cheap and powerful crossfire. I get ~ 9600 on 3DMark05 on my x800xl crossfire setup. No PS 3.0, but it is still a great setup.

    Now isn't this ironic?

    What's amazing that much of our current technology is based on 18th century mathematics and earlier.

    Gigabyte 7800GTX $472 Shipped! - Never mind, now GT

    Sorry guys. I am almost positive when I posted this it was the GTX, but it is now definately a GT. The price has also changed.

    Gigabyte 7800GTX $472 Shipped! - Never mind, now GT

    Here... http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=GA-P7800GT&c=pw&show=r Too bad I just ordered an MSI 7800GTX for $484 from Newegg, could have saved $12 towards the second 7800GTX and $24 for the pair!

    BFG 7800 GTX $491 shipped free!

    This is very tempting. Although I think I may have talked myself out of it. My X800XL and 6800GT can already feed my 2405 fine, and I am waiting for Crossfire next month so I can use 3+ monitors for 3D gaming. I believe SLi is only able to do 1 or 2 monitors, but correct me if I am wrong...

    ECS RS480-M

    I decided to try out the ECS RS480-M since it was only $83 shipped and I had an extra 3000+ Winny laying around after ordering a venice for my DFI Ultra D. The board does have overclocking ability, but not too much. I also had trouble with my Winbond BH-5 memory. My Mushkin Level II PC3500...

    *Uber HOT* Syntax Olevia 27" LCD TV for $699 ARs!!!!

    I picked one of these up today. Pretty impressive for the price. It will serve as my main monitor, replacing my 19 inch Hyundai L90D+'s until I can do triple monitor gaming. In addition to it only being $699.99 + tax on $999.99, it also has 21 months interest free financing when purchased w/...

    *Uber HOT* Syntax Olevia 27" LCD TV for $699 ARs!!!!

    How can you run out of consumer electronics to buy? I will definately be checking this out tomorrow. I don't really need it as I already have a 42 inch HD plasma and 2 Hyundai L90D+'s (3rd one is is in the process of RMA), but as far as I know there are no graphics cards that will allow triple...

    ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

    I keep it at the default settings. I think it looks great. Also, I called TigerDirect about my second monitor having 2 lit pixels with the bright green one near the center and they are allowing me to exchange it for yet another one. The guy I spoke with said he could fully understand how a...

    ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

    I hooked up my new L90D+ from TigerDirect (Great service - they shipped my replacement out the same day I called and had it in 2 days!) but unfortunately it has 2 lit pixels. I can live with 2 lit pixels if they are out of the way, but one of them is bright green and just slightly above the...

    How do you span across multiple monitors in games?

    I use 2 Hyundai L90D+'s (Waiting for gaming support for 3) with my 6800GT. The crosshair issue is easily resolved by running in window mode and shifting the screen over so the full crosshair is on one of the screens. It is awesome! I prefer this to playing on my 42" HD Hitachi Plasma.

    ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

    I received my monitor from TigerDirect.com yesterday and was dissapointed, since the other 2 Hyundai L90D+ are great. This one had 4 stuck pixels clustered in the upper center of the screen. I called them and they were very helpful and said I would receive the new one in 3-5 days. Props to...

    ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

    I definately would not call this monitor second rate. Right now it can't be beat for gaming. True, it may not satisfy hardcore graphic artists, but for most of the people looking for an overall quality monitor, this is the best priced monitor out. 3 of them only cost about as much as one...

    ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

    I also received mine today from CompUSA! I also ordered one from TigerDirect and that was shipped today. I will now have 3 and can't decide whether or not to keep them all, send one back, or sell it.

    PNY 6800GT Question

    Got it when CompUSA first got them in for 279.99 after 30% off. Its definately a great card, especially for what I payed. Mine clocks in at 405/1080, so a tiny bit over Ultra speeds on the core, and a bit under for the memory. To tell you the truth, I mostly play HL2 and CS:S and don't notice...

    Hyundai L90D+ LCD $340 no rebate/shipping @COMPUSA

    Video playback looks great. I viewed Matrix - Reloaded and LOTR - Return of the King on it. Too busy playing CS:Source and looking at pR0n (J/K) to watch anything else on it. I can't wait to get my second one in so I can play CS with 2 monitors (Just doesn't look right on a 19" LCD and a 42"...

    Hyundai L90D+ LCD $340 no rebate/shipping @COMPUSA

    Just ordered one of these to go along with my other L90D+. These are really great monitors, especially for the price. Gaming on this monitor is the best I have seen with any LCD and prefer it over my 2 19" inch CRT monitors due to the perfect geometry, brightness, and sharpness. The one I do...

    ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

    This monitor is definately the best for the money if you are a gamer. It has all of the options of the more expensive models and seems to be a quality display. The monitor does not have any dead pixels. It is so great, I may purchase another one for a dual monitor setup.

    19" Gaming LCDs, Which should I get?!!

    I would have to agree with shiznit. It is cheap, has a very nice contrast ratio, DVI, a fast response time, adjustable height, 90 degree pivot, and a BLUE LED on the front. It is a very nice looking display. Mine also did not have dead pixels. I am thinking of getting another!

    ** OFFICIAL DOOM 3 THREAD** - DOOM 3 1.1 PATCH RELEASED!

    I just got back from Best Buy in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota with my copy of Doom 3. I wasn't looking to buy it, but it was right there ready for purchase. There was still a lot of them when I left the store at ~ 7:30 pm.

    [DEAD] 6800, 6800GT, 6800Ultra all 30% off @ CompUSA

    It wasn't a hassle at all. One of the sales people came up to me and asked if I had any questions, which I did. I asked if he knew when the 6800GT would be in, so he looked and couldn't find the date, but it showed it in the system so I asked if I could pre-pay and get the 30% off. He went to...

    [DEAD] 6800, 6800GT, 6800Ultra all 30% off @ CompUSA

    I just got back from the CompUSA in Minnetonka and was able to pre-pay for a 6800GT at the 30% off price, so the total was 279.99 + tax. They didn't know the exact date they would be getting them in.
