Have had this monitor for two days now as well, and can definitely notice the gamma shift as well as the hum. The hum is easily drowned out by other ambient noise, but the gamma shift definitely is annoying. The shifting colors on my Asus TN are much easier to tolerate. Still, given the fact...

Couldn't you have just given him your old PS3?

Well they did give me a $10 credit as compensation for one of my preorders, only a $2 difference from my BCB savings so I guess it's not too bad. I did place two separate preorders at two separate Best Buys though, and haven't received an email about my second cancellation...

I jumped on the 20% BCB at bbuy a couple of weeks back and preordered starcraft 2, but just received an email saying my preorders were canceled. No reason was given either; anyone else have this happen to them?

Sorry for the shameless bump, just want to get some affirmation before my friend starts shopping. Does anyone have input on the mobo I picked out, and does anyone know if the case I chose will have any issues with the length of a 5850?

Just tried my hand at making a build: $79.99 Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-SGC-2000-KKN1-GP-Storm-Scout/dp/B00243HHNY/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I15DQOIGN14XQP&colid=2K7IJUE2VUT0V $209.99 Mobo: Gigabyte UD3R...

Sorry, I was being a bit vague. By spacing it out over time I meant over the course of several weeks, nothing longer than that. So in that sense, if there was anything on sale now or within the next few days, he could easily jump on it, and hold onto it until his next paycheck so that he can...

Alright I just talked to him, and there's some changes: He's actually willing to spring for a lot more for this build - new budget of $1500 after tax/shipping, but now he may have to space out his purchases over time rather than all at once. He wants the intel 80gb g2 drive (doesn't think...

Ah yeah you're right, I went back and checked my settings and I'm running 1920x1080 at low. I'll let him know about the drive tomorrow after I wake up.

enginurd: He lives in west LA, and as far as I know the only microcenter in socal is in Orange? He could drive to Frys if need be. dannybui: I was afraid of that too given to lowish budget. I myself play at 1920x1080 medium settings with only an oc'd 4850, so maybe if we went with a less...

Hello all, I convinced my friend to jump on the $20 BC2 deal the other day, but his rig definitely cannot run it, so he's looking to upgrade. I've been out of the loop since building my own rig a year ago, so I'm not too confident in specifying a system for him. 1) What will you be doing...

Hello.

buriza from diablo 2...during patch 1.08 or 1.09, don't remember

Worth a shot

When I received my x25-m g2 it came from their RMA warehouse in New Jersey.
