    BitFenix new Mini ITX Lan-Party Case

    I've got mine (white) on pre-order in the UK - it was estimated to be in stock today but it's slipped back to next week now. This is very unlike me but I've recently bought a new Samsung tv with a white bezel and the rig (which is used mainly for LAN gaming) will now also do media duties...

    Using a Keyboard/Mouse from a HTPC?

    Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 for me. I tend to just rest it on my lap, I don't really game with it though. In earlier times, I did have an HTPC/gaming rig on a tv and I had what I called 'the entertainment plank' for that which was a fairly wide plank of wood with a mouse mat glued to...

    MAC OS for PC?

    Do you mean a Hackintosh? InsanelyMac and TonyMacx86 are probably worth a look if that's what you're after..

    BenQ releases XL2410T, their first 120 Hz monitor

    Sanity is overrated anyway! :D I tend to like the brightness pretty high on my tvs but not *that* bright, obviously but certainly in the higher reaches as a rule. Anyway, when I got to the LAN last night I'd set it to Movie mode previously and it was at 100% brightness as default but time was...

    BenQ releases XL2410T, their first 120 Hz monitor

    oqvist & Serzhas: I'm not using 3D with it, I'm afraid and no real plans to do so - I don't have a copy of Resident Evil 5, either, sorry chaps. I am due at a LAN tonight and will be using the monitor so I can report back over the weekend. I'm not a 100% brightness fan, generally. I set the...

    BenQ releases XL2410T, their first 120 Hz monitor

    I got one yesterday (from Scan) and found this thread today! :o I have to say though, all seems pretty good with mine, it reminds me of a (smaller, obviously) version of my HP LP3065 which it's currently sitting next to. I've just gone into the service menu and the firmware would seem to be...

    EVGA Worth $30 more?

    My only experience with EVGA CS has been very negative indeed. So much so, I swore I would never buy another of their products and I've stuck with that since (my experience was 2007ish IIRC.) Maybe I was just unlucky, as most people seem to think they're very good but I certainly wouldn't give...

    H50 & Arctic Silver 5

    Exactly the same experience here: temperatures were pretty much identical with AS5 and the Corsair gunk for me too.

    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    I've got a dead 8800 GTX I may give this a try with.. I'm not hopeful because it seems very dead but hey, worth a shot! Nice one!! :-)

    Using PCI slot between SLI cards

    I use the TT Dual Orb on my GTX cards - it saves a fair bit of space.

    A really extreme case-modding

    Good work fella! :)

    Using PCI slot between SLI cards

    Ditto here - both set-up and case wise. :)

    Thermaltake Lanbox HT VF5001BNS

    I carry my Lanbox in my Sugo bag anyway! :D I find the handle very useful for moving around but I'm a clumsy git so the bag's always the best bet!
