    Canon XTi/400D

    QFT; I also "splurged" on the 17-55mm and it is a fantastic lens. Granted, it took me two copies to get a good one (first one backfocused and had inconsistent focusing on my XTi). It's worth the $1000 you pay for and as drifter said, these lens retain value very well. I know I'll be using mine...

    Laptop for college

    I'm about to make a decision on purchasing a laptop (Dell Inspriron E1505 w/ WSXGA+ panel). However, Anandtech's recent article on various laptop screens' quality has me worried as I intend to use my laptop for an extensive amount image editing and I will not have space next year to buy a...

    Best Gaming Head-Set?

    Sealed headphones are usually the way to go; good ones include the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro or the Audio-Technica ATH-A55 or ATH-A700. Also, a lapel mic may be more convenient than a desktop or monitor one.

    Medusa 5.1's?

    According to this thread, most people recommended the Audio-Technicas above as they were supposedly some of the best sealed gaming headphones. However, I find my HD 280s quite suitable for gaming and I know that the Beyerdynamic DT 770/800 are fantastic headphones, although I have no idea...

    Battlefield 2 or battlefield 2142?

    Besides, getting kicked every 9 out of 10 servers in the demo (due to Punkbuster or some other stupid glitch), was enough for me to stick with BF2 and stay far, far away from BF2142.

    Battlefield 2 infinite supply boxes

    I am SO confused about headphones...

    I second this choice. The only concern I have with mine is whether the plastic adjustible part will eventually break as I've read a few owners who have had that problem happen to them. Sure, they may not have the highest of highs or the lowest of lows, but considering what you pay for them, they...

    WXGA vs. WSXGA+

    Hmmm, I don't know if this helps, but I know with newer Dell laptops, there's this resolution key that switches from native res (ie. 1680x1050), to an extrapolated setting for a non-native res (ie. 1280x800 stretched to fill the entire screen), and to a non-native res (ie. 1280x800 centered)...

    Even sony isn't this bad

    I still enjoy playing BF2 and have put up with the various problems from 1.00-1.41, however, I am definately not buying 2142. Why? Although I know its not indicative of the final product, being disconnected 9 out of 10 times within the first 5 minutes or so in the 2142 demo can't be a good omen...

    Need help in deciding video cards for the next 6 months

    The HIS has a better cooler which is quieter and cooler than the Sapphire, however, I've heard Sapphire is the better company. The X1950XT is faster than the 7950GT KO in nearly all situations (barring some OpenGL games like Quake 4, Prey, etc.); even though the 7950GT KO has 512mb of ram, the...

    Need help in deciding video cards for the next 6 months

    It's slower than the all of the cards you listed except for maybe the 7800 GTX. Go with either the X1950XT BassBomb mentioned or if you can fork out the cash, the 8800GTS.

    just got my 8800 gtx water cooled

    Vr-zone volt mods for 8800GTX. They did them on two EVGA 8800GTX ACS3s, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on the watercooled BFG.

    1950XTX Crossfire vs. 8800GTX

    Even then, with settings cranked to the max (and by max, I mean 16AA and 16AF), the 8800GTX annihilates even 2 X1950XTXs. The only exception is FEAR I believe.

    Samsung 205BW Resolution Problems...

    Well, it's not really a matter of it scaling, I'll deal with that when it'll actually display a 16:10 resolution besides 1680x1050. I've tried running the resolutions with (through monitor and video card) and without scaling and so far I have not been able to display anything like 1440x900 or...

    Samsung 205BW Resolution Problems...

    xtknight: Did everything in your post, still no success. I am pretty sure that the video card is wrongly identifying the 205BW as a CRT (Properties still shows a CRT icon and the Nvidia Control Panel displays 4:3 resolutions except for 1680x1050). I did some searching on my computer after...

    Samsung 205BW Resolution Problems...

    Okay, for some reason, 640x400 works in both games, however, as you can imagine, it looks horrible. Unfortunately, still no success with 1280x800 or 1440x900.

    Battlefield 2 v. Battlefield 2142?

    I'm sticking to BF2 as I didn't find 2142 nearly as immersive or interesting as the former. Not to mention it feels too much like a mod.

    Samsung 205BW Resolution Problems...

    I made the switch from my old Samsung 955DF CRT that I've had for the past 7 years to a Samsung 205BW LCD. While I'm enjoying it quite a bit, I am frustrated by its inability to run widescreen resolutions (with AND without scaling through either the monitor or video card) which are below the...
