Just received my Achieva Shimian QH270-Lite from green-sum. Incredibly fast shipping via DHL. The monitor is *beautiful*. What an amazing display. I did end up getting 3 dead pixels within a 3 inch area at the lower right corner of my display. But, the only reason I found them is because I...

Thanks for the input, guys. I pulled the trigger on the Silverstone FT01B-W and Corsair 1000HX. Finally, after about 2-3 weeks of indecisiveness and going back and forth on all the various parts of my build, all the parts are on their way. What do you think, slight improvement from my...

Hehe, sounds like a pretty overwhelming response. Is the Corsair really that good? I was siding with the OCZ simply because of its single-rail as opposed to Corsair's two rails.

Well, I've pulled the trigger on my next build. All of the parts are purchased and currently in transit via UPS *except* for a psu and a case. The reason I held off on those two and purchased the rest beforehand is due to NewEgg instant savings. I was planning on an OCZ EliteXStream 1000W...

I've been hung up on what case/psu I should get for like a week now. haha. I think I've finally decided on what I posted above. My main problem is that I want a Mid-Tower, but most of the mid-towers I like will not comfortably fit some of the huge 1000w+ PSUs that I would be pairing up with it...

I'm preparing to drop quite a decent amount of cash on a full system here. Moving up from an AMD 64 X2 4800+; w/2GB DDR 400; GeForce 8800 GTX. $3k is about what I'm looking to spend here but I'm flexible since I tend to go "all out" every 3-4 years as opposed to steady upgrades. -This...

I'm putting together a build for my a completely new machine. Last time I upgraded parts/ would have had to have been at least 3 years ago. I run an AMD X2 4800+ right now with 8800GTX. Anyway, part of my concern with the new build is that PSUs these days seem to be approaching mammoth...

How easy is it to remove one of those hdd cages from the lian-li?

Well, here I am again. As usual, I'm able to swiftly decide what items I want (for the most part) for an entire computer build EXCEPT for the case. I'm pretty particular about my case in terms of physical appearance. I don't really like too much flashy stuff like windows and excess lights...

Well, I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on a new system from the ground up. My current box is old enough that with everything I'd *have* to replace, it makes reasonable sense to just buy a few more parts to complete a full new build from the ground up so that I have two functional...

Over the past few weeks I've been looking around and planning on investing in a home lab to work on my CCNA (and upon completion, work on my CCNP). The first thing I've found out is that there's simply not a breakdown that says "This is the ideal lab, hands down, bar none". Reason being is...

Contrast/Brightness cannot be modified on the display's menus when you are using a DVI connection. You must modify brightness/contrast from your video card settings if you use DVI. Using VGA, you can modify contrast/brightness.

Also, from my Service Menu: V1B15 :: SAM WUXGA LTM240L2

Added a screenshot of World of Warcraft to my picture listing post. The text is purposely obscured. Also, I know LCD haters will jump on the bandwagon and yell "GHOSTING" at Vario the tauren in that picture. However it's just because of the slow shutter on this camera. I have yet to see...
