After spending 2 months with the U2713HM, I decided to publish my thoughts on this monitor. Green to indicate aspects which I want Dell monitors to continue to have. Yellow to indicate aspects which I want to see improvements in. Pros: PWM flicker is indeed non-existent, even at 0%...

I've been hearing of people wanting monitors to have multiple inputs, like 5 DVI-I, 3 HDMI, 3 display ports etc. Of course, these numbers are made up but I'm sure I've made my point. The main reason is to switch between PS3,2,1, xbox360, tv tuner and multiple computers they own. And, there are...

Hi, I have to admit I did not do much research so please be gentle with me. I want colour reproductions as good, if not better than the 226bw "S" and lag times as low as the 226bw. From my limited research, the 2493HM and G2400W seems to be good. The V2400W has a yellow tinge if I'm not wrong...

Thinking of buying a PA120.3 + MCW655 + GTZ + MCW60. These parts are mostly copper or bronze from what I've heard. Just want to confirm with you guys if this is the case. I do not wish to have no anti-corogent agents when the parts have a mixture of metals. Thanks!

Is that the case? Heard it has same restriction as fuzion v2 but performs slightly better than ek-supreme (by .5 C). It also has a practical and easy mounting mechanism. Is that true?

I inserted the driver disk and all went well until it reached "plug in your USB cable". I remembered canceling "windows found a new hardware" so it may have stopped the installation from proceeding. Is this the cause? If so, could you give some advise please? Quite short isn't it? :D

I read the recent (H)ardlOCP thread and the wall power was around 680watts, meaning about 600watts being drawn by the components. So, with this PSU, is it a go or no go? Btw, I only have 3 70cfm, 1600rpm fans + 1 HDD + 2 sticks of RAM at 2.2volts.

It is unable to install office 2003 nor is it able to read some formats. How can I correct the problem? Is there any software updates which I can find? Because in LG's site, I can't find this model. OS: XP

I have heard about "Turobo-Cool Silencer 750 Quad (Crossfire Edition)" boasting about their 99 Active PFC, Rock-Solid Super-Clean DC Output (0.01 Load Regulation). Is it that good? Any other recommendations? It runs on 110Volts AC input but my input is 230Volts. What do I do? I'm looking for...

So what case do you recommend me which would keep the internal temperatures at the minimum? Budge is no constrain neither is the size though a large case is preferred. Another question, is it true that a single blow hole is extremely important in keeping the temperatures down? Edit: I'm...

I'm looking for a mouse with approximately 2000dpi, with a short respond time and registers fast movement (distance/time). As for the pad, I have read good reviews about icemat and Razer eXactMat but unsure which to use. I will be putting it on a smooth flat surface so there is no real need...

I know similar types of threads have been posted but none of which is what I'm finding. Edit: I am finding the highest air pressure fan now. I have realized that CFM is not all that matters. Btw, a 120mm/92mm fan with any thickness is preferred.

I was wondering if these 2 components are compatible. The heat sinks does not seam to be compatible with the ASUS Blitz Extreme. I have checked the motherboard compatiblity list but this particlular motherboard is not there. Please help me out.

Noise does not matter for me and now, I'm looking at the TD9238H Vantec Tornado (http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1169). It definately has a high CFM but how reliable and how long does it last? Running at 4800RPM, the wear and tear should be high... Is it possible to become...

The intel QX6850 has came out but its definately expensive. It should go down when the Penryn family comes out. The question is, by how much will it go down, and is there a BIG difference between the Penryn family and QX6850? I'm going to overclock here and the 6850 seams excellent for now...

I plan to overclock a Intel QX6850 and use this fan but unsure what heat sink is compatable. It looks pretty impressive, with 56.8 CFM. I'm not sure how good it is so please post your experience here. Link: http://www.casecooler.com/pa80hywabefa1.html I would also appriciate if you could...
