    Building Something New after 5 years

    I was thinking about getting the AC pro 7 but I guess I'll wait on that. I was planning to get that case too. I failed to mention a case because it was more of a personal preference for looks than anything else. Should I get that or the G. Skill DDR2 1000 version...

    Building Something New after 5 years

    I have done some research and browse the forums long enough. I need a new computer for gaming and been out of the loop for awhile. RTS are not available on my xbox360 and COH was owning my P4 2.6. I digress. My alpha build. NOTE: I want to go for the most bang for the buck! Processor: Intel...

    Using Computer Speakers for consoles

    Thanks for your help and clarifying what the montego would be limited to. I'll guess I'll wait till a/v reciever with HDMI go down in price. The only problem for me I guess is once I get an a/v receiver I won't be able to use my sub woofer?

    Using Computer Speakers for consoles

    I have an xbox 360 and Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1. I want to output sound from my xbox 360 to my promedia but it has no optical inputs but I can purchase a sound card that has optical inputs like the Turtle Beach Montego. Will that work or is there another better solution to this?

    Broken Power Connector?

    One night my computer was working fine and the next day when I tried to start it up, it would not post. I tried resseting the cmos but it didn't work. So i tried swapping parts. Long story short, everything was work fine but my video card. I plug in the 4pin molex and it would not boot up...

    Do I have acid reflux?

    Might want to see a doctor about that. I had the weird/burning sensation in my chest and also adominal pains. My doctor prescribe me something, can't remember what it was since it was six years ago, but it never came back.

    Games still on cd's!?

    I love how these multi pack cds games come with a spindle. I have plenty of empty spindle cases lying around my room. I think I need to throw them out now or build a pyramid. Do they still use muti-cd jewel cases? The last one I got was from Farcry. I also got cd sleeves from WoW like my...

    Games still on cd's!?

    Ok, they still make put games on CDs and DVDs but stop making next generation AGP cards... What's the rational behind this? I know that that dual layer DVD are pretty expensive retail but what does it cost the publisher to put games on DVDs vs CDs? I got lucky getting a DVD copy for BF2 on...

    WAS HOT! Gateway has a 21" Widescreen Monitor for $599.99

    Which is why I bought a 2005fpw. Don't have too much money to spend on on a superior display and card. There was just no jusitification of buying a 2405fpw using an a modded x850pro. Gaming at 1920x1200 would just be a impossible dream (for me at least). I sure wish I can though :(

    Screen splitting or PIP on dell 2005fpw

    I lack a tv in my den and there is no room for one. I'm curious if I can get a tv tuner card and have it output to my monitor. Has anybody tried this? I just want to watch some tv while I mindlessly grind for hours.

    Connect3D GTO also moddable to X850 XT PE

    Those are some nice overclocks. Wish they found out about that sooner, I could of saved myself 60 bucks. Oh well, I got a x850pro vivo for 245 instead and unlock it got about 530/590. I got rid of stock fan since it was annoying it got really hot with the x850xtpe mod and replaced with a...

    I haven't tried that sub-pixel program but through cleartype tuning, it tells me that i'm using RGB and when I switch it to BGR, it got worst!

    Transition from CRT to LCD

    Yeah, but the text still has the weird look. I got my RMA number and I need to find time to ship it back. I just ordered a dell 2005fpw for like 430ish something... stupid environmental fee and tax. I'm gonna leave my crt on our governator's lawn. I just hope I don't run into issue such as...

    Is the X800 any good?

    Check out x800 preformance here. I think the x800gto will preform just as good x800pro or even better.

    Transition from CRT to LCD

    i want to get a 2005fpw now but I'm afraid of my luck with stuck pixels. I need to find out how much I can ship it back to them. Is $28.18 expensive for shipping for a 15 lb package (cause that's how much tigerdirect charged me)? If that is the case to ship it back, I basically lost 60 dollars.

    6800nu vs. x800pro refurb

    Or for 90 dollars more you can get this and unlock the 16 pipes and potentially achieve x800xt pe speeds. Instructions here and I was gonna buy this card but I decided on a x850 pro vivo instead and it worked.

    Oh, makes sense, because my brother's 17"LCD fonts were alot easier to read then mine. Thanks a bunch. I might get into looking into the 2005fpw.

    Transition from CRT to LCD

    My lcd is on its native resolution 1280x1024 and connected through dvi. The problem for me is that when I turn cleartype on, there is like a greenish tinge surrounding letters. When I turn cleartype off, its no longer a problem but these letters right now are really jagged at 96dpi, looks a...

    Transition from CRT to LCD

    I'm @ 1280x1024, no good. How can dead pixel be fixed? Aren't dead pixel dead? And stuck pixels can be possibly fixed. I tried that program with the flash colors already today. I'll try it again tonight before I head to bed. I'll probably just RMA it if I can and should I stick with this...

    My first stuck pixel was on my Sony's PSP which is near dead in the center. My second LCD purchase was on a Hyundai L90D+. I'm plagued with stuck pixels! I tried the video to fix for eight hours after work, I got home and its still there. I'm probably going to RMA it soon if it doesn't go...
