Hi Everyone I had an accident with my Eizo Foris FS2333. LCD is cracked. Details are far, far too embarssing to repeat. I really liked this monitor. Great in desktop use and great for PC and PS3 games. Colors/gama were very accurate and I could see all of the details of whatever I was...

First, yes, my case is an antec sonata, with one exhaust fan. I'm working on changing that this week. My overclocked gtx 460, at 65% fan speed. never gets over 68c. 99% gpu load sustained. My refurb reference nvidia gtx 560 ti will get to 88c, with 65% fan. With my case open it will get...

Hi. My current system is in my sig. Now onto the questions 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Games of all kinds, web use, movies, tv (I have a tv tuner), basically my center hub for work, entertainment and communication. 2) What's your budget? Are...

Hey guys and gals, I ve finally decided to do it. I m packing up and moving on. It was a long term relationship of 6 1/2 years, filled with tons of awesome memories. However, it just isn't the same anymore.. something broke between us... In this case it was the front panel. The buttons to my...

So, my fellow left [h]anders, which hand is your "mouse hand". Have you succumbed to the tyranny of living left in a right world, or have you gone against the grain and proudly mouse with your left? I do both. At work I find it easier to use my left hand as I m often using the number pad. At...

My first ever mod/worklog. I have zero experience and I m sponsored by my bank account, Google search and friends/family. My Rig has served me very very well and it still has plenty of life remaining. Specs: Intel Q9950 Asus P5Q Deluxe Corsiar DDR2 1066 (4gb) Segate 1tb drive GTX...

I brought a used dell p991 19 crt about a month ago. I used it for a week. No problems. All was great. Then I decided to fool around with another of my monitors, so I stored it for about two weeks. Kinda near a subwoofer.. Yeah I know, not too bright me of. Well, a week ago I plug it back in...

We ve all been using computers for a long time. For a lot of us our window into the digital world changes yearly. Yet,for some, there is that one monitor that you wish you never got rid of. The screen that you wish had worked for just a few more years. The monitor that we have a soft spot for...

I ve been considering a new keyboard and mouse for a few weeks now and I've narrowed my choices down. I just grabbed a cheap but decent computer desk locally. Everything went great until my I realized that my microsoft comfort curve keyboard was too large for the sliding keyboard shelf. There...

Hey all. So I picked up my ati theater pro 650. And a tv antenna. I had this thing working for a little bit, and now... nothing. I've downloaded the ati catalyst drivers 10.4 to reinstall, but nothing is installing into the ati technologies folder. I use windows media center and it can detect...

Hey. I would like to use a tv tuner so I can use my computer as my tv at my dorm. This is totally out of my area of expertise. My budget it max 75. Would like to watch hdtv and sdtv, but sdtv is most important, will be using coaxial cable.

First, my current monitor has 15,000 hours on it. How much longer can I expect to have this thing running for? How does the 2007wfp stack up against the new ips screens, like the 2209wa? Is the black/purple shift gone yet?

Hey gurus whats happening Anyway, I was fooling around with my 2007wfp (IPS) in portrait mode today and it got me thinking, LCD for web, text, (comic viewing) and CRT for games/movies. Sounds like the best of both worlds right on my desk. Problem is the way that a dual monitor setup often...

My parents computer's version of windows is all screwed up, so before I wipe the harddrive on that computer I installed the harddisk from their comuter into mine. I have access to all of the folders except one, which is my mothers folder. All of the account on the computer have admin access and...

Currently have 8800GTS 640 2 gigs ddr2 amd x2 4600 So, I found a deal on a q6700 and motherboard oem for $300. Going to switch to vista and grab 2 more gigs of ram. I have a killer aftermarket heatsink with the 775 brackets so oc to 3 will be the first order of business. I'll wait to...

So I'm running an 8800GTS 640, x2 4600 and 2 gigs of ram Games like crysis, stalker clear sky (kind unplayable all around) and i know GTA 4 are gonna give me trouble. My question Would shelling out $325 for an amd x2 @3.1 and a nvidia 260 worth it? Or should I try to limp along? Or...

After another experience with crappy crysis performance, I've decided that an upgrade is in order. currently I have an amd x2 4600 as my cpu 2gigs of ram (which i believe is fine, 95% sure this will not change) Nvidia geforce 8800GTS 640 as my GPU. My budget is $500 and I will be doing...

I didn't know where to put this so if this is in the wrong place feel free to move it. Anyway, a few of my older games have been having some weird graphical issues. I found out that the problem may be something called "direct draw" in windows xp. First, what is it, and secondly, how can I...

I am looking to sell my 2007wfp monitor and put the money toward a larger, t.v sized LCD. I would use this lcd at college as an all in one type of set up, t.v, computer, game systems ect. I am looking for anything under $1000, and preferably 1368x768 resoultion. I know that a number of you here...

I noticed that my monitor (21 inch new crt) has been giving my mouse pointer a tail when compared against a black background. Yes, I googled it ahead of time and I know the problem, crappy vga cable cause signal echo. (or something like that) I was thinking about going to best buy to pick up one...

Should I? Its new in the box and can be had for less than $50.

I had to send in my 8800 gts so for the next week I need to go back to my 6800, which can play all my games at lower settings. No big deal. So I put into the p.c, install into p.c and this hidious fan noise begins. The card runs at 100% fan at all times with an idle load temp of 50c going up to...

Right now its really humid where I live (nj, united states) and it has me worried about my rig. How much humidity can it take? It has only been bad for a few days but it is the summer so it could stay bad for awhile.

This game is strange. I have max settings and dynamic lighting on and get an average of maybe 25 fps in the outdoors part right at the begining. I change the res from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 to 1600x1200 and besides a few fps more or less nothing changes. Even down to 800x600. AA and AF do...

I cannot stand noisy or buzzy computer parts. Infact, I am buying a new case with all new fans just so my computer will be more quiet. How much noise does this card make? I was thinking about a silent pipe 3 one from gigabyte but its takes up two spots and since my computer has only one pci e...

My creaky old 6800gt needs to go. A 8800 will not fit in my case and I want the possilbilty of some direct x 10 in the future. I used to have a 360 and I played oblivion with that but I lost interest in console gaming and sold it. Now I have about $200 and I am looking at a 8600 gts. A few...

I have had this monitor for about almost a year and for the whole time I have had it whenever I watch a movie there is this video noise. I use dvi connection and I have a geforce 6800. I use windvd 7 to watch movies. In short, what gives? Is there anyway I can get rid of this. Is this a problem...

Hi, this is a my first post on these forums and I come seeking your wisdom. I currently own a pair of sennheiser hd 595, a govibe amp for use with my p.c and sony SACD player. My current speakers are just plain cheap and sound awful. I am looking to have respectable 2.0/2.1 desktop/bookshelf...
