    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Just got an ASUS VH242H, upgrading form a dying LG 1970HR. It's awesome, games look great and the "splendid" mode selector definitely helps for games and other applications. At 169.99USD from newegg, it was a steal. Definitely recommend this monitor to gamers. Response time is rated at 5ms...

    P55 MB Reviews MIA???

    The blog post on 9/11 mentioned they were forthcoming within the next week or so. EDIT: Also, Guru3D has 2 P55 mobos reviewed. I am waiting for other places to cathc up before I sort between them. I picked a hell of a time for a hardware upgrade.

    Name one major game you didn't enjoy!

    As much as I want to post the dozens of games I bought in the last 10 years that really dissapointed me. But, the OP said one major hit, so I'd have to say... FarCry. That game is the epitome of the [GRAPHICS > GAMEPLAY LOL] trend. The gameplay was so mindblowingly bad, I could not beleive...

    Hellgate London

    It used to be. In all fairness, some things are much better than they were at launch... but my main beef is that not all of the classes can play through the game at an even pace... Blademasters, for example, are like paper vs. the later and harder enemies. All in all, the game is pretty...

    I just ordered an LG L1970HR. $283, with shipping and tax. This monitor better be damn good. >:|

    HD3870, 8800GT, 8800GTS...

    All this price and availability bullshit has got me pretty indecisive about what to buy and who from. I just want a good mid-range card for a mid-range price. Is that so much to ask for? :[

    8800 GT high failure rate?

    I was also wondering about this. My cooling is good enough, I guess. I've read that increasing the fan speed and slightly decreasing the clocks helps, too. I'll keep browsing the net for more info on this problem, as I want to get an 8800GT, but if the heating issues are anything like my...

    Need guidance on upgrading/tweaking PC

    I see. I thought Enermax was a reliable brand, but maybe not. I guess now it is just a question of finding a PSU that will power my system as it is + an 8800.

    Yay Hellgate London beta!

    As it has been said a billion times, the beta is behind the gold version. The release will be much more polished.

    Yay Hellgate London beta!

    The Beta isn't single player. The Beta is Multiplayer. What are you on? And for the naysayers, the beta is one huge build behind the gold (release) version. And they are still adding and tweaking things to patch at release. Flagship is also working on Mythos (http://www.mythos.com/)...

    Storyline or Gameplay?

    It really depends on the genre. I'm not looking for much backstory when I'm blasting the crap out of players in TF2.

    Will the Diablo series continue??

    Mythos is the true sucessor to Diablo. Hellgate: London is a different animal.

    Power Supply might be failing

    So since I put my computer together in late May 2006, everything has been fine with the exception of my power supply. (ENERMAX Whisper II EG465P-VE FMA(24) ATX12V 460W) From the very moment my PC turned on, the power supply emitted a high-pitched whine. It stopped after a minute or two and I...

    Official PLAYSTATION 3? thread

    Yeah, I played Motorstorm, don't own it, though. Twas a terrible game. Pretty graphics, ****** gameplay. Drive over a pebble and you'll crash. Never been banned, but I've been around longer than you. Thankfully I do a lot more lurking than posting.

    I have a feeling a lot of Wii controllers are going to be accidently thrown...

    You have to be a formidable jackass to throw your controller into anything. More than anything, the strap was designed to prevent accidental dropping of the controller, not spastic, unnecessary flailing of the arms. That said... http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/13...

    Kutaragi was fired as president of Sony. Insert whatever synonyms you'd like, but the fact remains. Whether his removal was negative or not, this move puts him in a lesser position. I find it funny that you accuse me of poor reading comprehension when I posted nothing about my own...

    Of course, the truth isn't the truth until it comes in standard issue packaging. Also, you defeat your own argument. The fact that they cited Reuters lends to the credibility of their journalism. Nice try.

    Hello fellow forum-goers. I am in need of assistance. I'm assembling a new rig (my first build). To house the parts, I chose the Centurion RC531 by Cooler Master. It it a good quality case, aside from some minor issues. The largest issue is the inadequacy of the stock 120x25mm blue LED...

    With my case, http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811119090, I want to be able to keep dust out. Now, aside from cleaning weekly with compressed air and a vacuum, I imagine one could place material over the vents that let air in and catch dust. Does anyone know if such a concept...

I am a newbie to custom system building, and I need advice on compatability and performance. I think it is worth noting that I...
