Just another thought on this subject before I head off to bed. Can someone tell me how on earth Apple makes it's flat panel displays so uniform? (and no, you can't say magic, even though its probably the truth ;) ) Wow. I'm seriously impressed by this. If you look at most other display...

Absolutely! It's time for that too. :cool:

I've noticed more and more lately, at places like my local best buy and circuit city, that the pc speaker selection is shrinking quite a bit, especially at the best buys I patronize. Off the top of my head though, I've noticed the Klipsch Promedia 2.1's selling, Altec Lansing (can't remember...

Thanks again. I think Apple spoiled me with their good looking LCD's on the front and back, but I since 99% of my time will be spent looking at the front of this LCD, it probably won't be much of an issue. Say Tamlin....I've noticed you've been super active in this thread. As an owner of...

I'm with you on that one. Although, to be fair, I think I remember reading on Wikipedia a while back that human vision is actually more akin to 4:3 rather than 16:9/16:10 aspect ratios. I'm not sure either way (not that it makes much a of difference anyway;) ) Anyone care to weigh in on that...

For internals, definitely. For aesthetics, like a custom Falcon paint job on top of a cutting edge rig, you could easily rack up the cost to $10,000 + in the span of few minutes using their online customizer. Try it, you'll like it. ;) http://www.falcon-nw.com/config/build.asp

BTW - all of this talk reminds me of that "Prove IT!" challenge from the makers of Starforce that went out last year. http://www.star-force.com/protection.phtml?c=261&id=707 They claim very few people entered. What do you guys think? Just more misinformation being blasted out?

Sounds great, glad to hear that you're happy with the 30". It's definitely a beauty. :) Do you play any games on that monster? Right now i'm considering an upgrade to the NEC LCD2690wuxi 25.5" LCD, or it's 24" little brother. I almost feel like I should hold off for a while though, to see what...

Just a one-time (promise:) ) bump. I'm pretty sure the answer is a simple one. Are there any other good COD related sites that might be able to answer my question? Thanks again.

Wow, amazing stuff. I had no idea the world of computer audio was so varied. Now that i've had time to go back and peruse some of the suggestions in this thread, i'm thinking that it might be a good idea to upgrade my ibuds (rock!;) ) to something a little bit better, along with purchasing a...

Thank you very much for your response, travbomb. That really helps to set me at ease. I wish there was a knowledgeable company rep for each and every major manufacturer in these forums. :) I've got one more question for you. I've noticed that many NEC displays, particularly high-end models...

I'm curious, how many units are actually suffering from this problem. Are all of them affected, and it is only a matter of degree to which they manifest the high pitched whine, or are only a certain number displaying this oddity? I'm very interested in the 2690 right now. This is the only...

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check that one out. BTW - another related question. Since my Ipod earbuds can't reach all the way to my sound card's audio-out jack, i'm using a regular 3.5mm extension cord. Are these things all created equal? I'm using one I purchased at office depot, and it...

I'm on board with you on that one. My most recent ophthalmologist appointment put me at 20/20, but I still have to turn up the fonts and dpi on my 23" display to surf comfortably. To each his own I suppose. Anyway - Thank you for this review Juardis, it's very much appreciated. Right now I'm...

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about this one, though I now remember seeing advertisements for it in PC gamer a long time ago. So now it's free huh? Cool. Could you explain the game in a nutshell for me? Is it played completely online, or is there support for LAN?
