    For the record, everything fit perfectly! I got the BenQ G2400W monitor for this system, and I love it. Thanks for the replies.

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    All I meant is that the closer you sit to it, the bigger the angle of view at which you're looking at the borders of the screen. Maybe my question was not so clear because I never even owned an LCD! Anyway, everything is good now, the G2400W is sitting in the other room. I bought it 6-7...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Isn't the viewing angle the same as "angle of view"? The closer you are to the monitor, the bigger the angle becomes. Are we talking about the same thing here? I decided to buy the G2400W because I need a 24'' and it was recommended by you, 10e, and I rarely saw bad reviews of it. I just...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Hi, I read every single post containing the word G2400W in this thread. About 11 very informative pages. Thank you xtknight, 10e and others, you really helped! I only have one question: -I've already decided to buy the G2400W, and I want to know if I will be sitting 2-3 feet away from the...

    {Solved} New system, advice needed!

    I just ordered the ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP , as there's no p5k-e "vanilla" to be found anywhere... I hope it's not a mistake... what do you think? I can still remove it from the order!

    {Solved} New system, advice needed!

    Ok what really is the difference between the P5K PRO and the P5K-E?!! PRO has EPU, which is useless when overclocking. What else? I already have some parts being shipped; the case and the HSF are already here. Thanks.

    {Solved} New system, advice needed!

    Hi, I am posting this because I want to make sure everything is compatible (dimension-wise), especially the case, HSF, video card, mobo, and PSU. I don't want to buy a component then return it after realizing it's too large and won't fit... I've done a lot of research and decided to buy...

    Jastech and Tephras I have a Sony F520, and I had those lines for months, 2 years ago. Then one day I started clicking/trying everything in the monitor's OSD! The Image Restoration did it!!! And I haven't seen any lines since then. I just didn't use it for a very very long time before that...

    PSU powerful enough for X1900 XT 256MB?

    LOL @ cr2250 :laugh: What do you mean by all this? Posted in the wrong thread, I guess? Anyway thanks again everyone. I'm going to try the x1900xt with the fortron. Anyway I can see how much power it's using? And I'd like to detect how stable it'll be running. Any way to do that using a...

    PSU powerful enough for X1900 XT 256MB?

    Thank you for the replies! I guess I'll just ask in the cases/cooling forum about the dual PSU thingy if I don't find anything about it with google/forum search. Tony.

    PSU powerful enough for X1900 XT 256MB?

    So there's no chance the card is going to run on a 15A+14A (12V1+12V2)? (I don't know if the 2 rails here can just be added, I couldn't find anything about that in the specs) And what about that dual PSU I asked about earlier? I'm willing to do it if the system will be stable and there'll be...

    PSU powerful enough for X1900 XT 256MB?

    Hi all, I want to buy the Sapphire X1900 XT 256MB. But I am concerned about my PSU, especially the amps on the 12V rails. I have a Fortron Blue Storm 400W. Link to Specs If not, can I just plug in a 2nd PSU? Or will a more powerful one be better? And the last question I have: The card...

    Video card problem...

    I tested the video card on another system today, and the same thing happened. So since it's under warranty, I'll go tomorrow to the store I bought it from and see what they'll recommend. Thanks for the help, Tony.

    Thanks for the replies! Funny. I never had to uncheck that thing before and I always got to see those BSOD and the PC never restarted... Anyway since I unchecked that I haven't gotten the BSOD anymore, although the problem is still here. I always open the case in the summerand the temps...

    Mysterious noise coming from vid card.

    Hi carmichael, If you hadn't written that you fished around with that tube, I would have thought that maybe it's the HDD that is making those noises. Any chance of that? Or maybe you are hearing noises because you forgot that tube in your ear? :D

    NFS Most Wanted for free

    Hi everyone, There's a giveaway of nfs:MW on one site that I know. There's a contest there and they're giving away a copy a day for nearly all of December (PC, 2 or 3 PS2 and 1 xbox copies I think). I'll post the link only if a mod or admin says it's ok, since I don't want to be labelled as...

    Venice core BP or BW?

    That's great. Unleaded CPU's! :D I guess I'm asking too much. Maybe AMD only knows what they did on the revision of the cpu's and how it affects everyday performance. I'll buy a BP Venice tomorrow I guess and hope it will overclock well. ;)

    Venice core BP or BW?

    Thx John for the info. I read them already, and I just wanted to know if there will be any difference in real life. Generally the BP OC better. But are the BW more stable because they fixed the bugs in them?

    Venice core BP or BW?

    Hi! I can buy a BP venice A64 right now. I will have to search really well to find a BW Venice. I wanted to know what you all think. Should I purchase the "Older" BP or look for a BW? Is there anything important in the BW that the BP doesn't have? thx!

    FRAPS Now Supports the G15 **PICS**

    Maybe FRAPS was monitoring the keystrokes in case you hit F9, F10, etc. to take a screenshot or record a video while playing? EDIT: WOW! 100,000?!! :shocked: It's been installed on my PC for months and it says 2015 intrusions. And I have a 2 Mbps cable connection...

    Hi Phillip, I have the MOMO Force (the first one, leather). And I've never had any comp. problems with it. Just be sure to check the wingman team's website for utilities and updates. You can go here and ask. Some people there know more than I do about different wheels, and also might give...

    About that Sapphire X800GTO2... Is it the "X800GTO FireBlade Edition[/b]"?! or GTO2 FireBlade Edition?! How can I be really sure it's the GTO2 I'll buy, not the GTO? Maybe stupid questions, but I couldn't find anything to be sure... Tony.

    Thx again for the input! :-) I'll post the results of the upgrade and the overclocking. I'll start buying everything tomorrow. Oh and about the retail A64... It's about $40 more than the OEM, which is the price of the Zalman cooler. Better buy a better cooler than the standard one that comes...

    Oh I know about Corsair, but it's rather hard to find... I have 2 sticks of Crucial RAM in my PC that I ordered directly from Cucial's website 5 years ago. What do you mean by "run a divider for overclocking. A64's built in memory controller makes the peformance hit of a divider null."...

    ribbon13: about the opteron, I don't think I'll be able to find it. And about the RAM...after searching extensively these forums, and also some other sites, I was under the impression that the brand of the memory isn't as important for the A64. Of course it should be stable and reliable, I won't...

    What's the best scanner I can buy for around $200?
