    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    Anyone getting a warm hue on the right half of the screen when compared to the left? I just got a replacement from tech support and still seeing the same problem I had with the first one, albeit this panel has slightly less BLB. For those who have the monitor, take a light gray/white window...

    R9 290: $259.99-$20 (VISACHECKOUT)-$30 MIR = $209.99

    Did some of my own digging around and you're pretty spot on. My SLI's are both cooled with closed loop coolers (antec 620's I think) so noise isn't particularly an issue but I'll be glad to get rid of the extra heat dump in the room and it will certainly help when I game on the 1600p monitor...

    R9 290: $259.99-$20 (VISACHECKOUT)-$30 MIR = $209.99

    How would this stack up to my 560ti-448 SLI setup? I'm tempted to just get two of them but I wonder if 1 would be an upgrade by itself?

    Safe way to secure-wipe a RAID0 SSD?

    In my experience it will not work in RAID mode or through USB (it is an ATA feature). In fact, this whole procedure is extremely picky and there have been a lot of motherboards that simply won't allow me to do a secure erase at all, no matter the sata mode. I keep an old eepc netbook around for...

    WD Red 2TB $90 AR

    It may support GPT but WHS2003 won't use anything over 2tb for the shared pool, AFAIK.

    WD Red 2TB $90 AR

    3tb are a better buy but unfortunately they do me no good since I'm still running home server 2003 :(

    Will a second monitor for multitasking effect performance?

    Aye, no offense meant, just thought I might save you some effort in case you weren't aware of the option. It has worked without a hitch for me so far, wasn't aware some people encounter issues with that method. Kudos for finding a workaround though!

    Will a second monitor for multitasking effect performance?

    You can actually just go to the shortcut properties, compatibility tab and check off "Disable Desktop Composition" which will disable aero whenever that program is run ;)
