I tried a couple of these data recovery software. GetDataBack for NTFS was the most successful in managing to find and recover most of the files on my corrupted Seagate 7200.8 400GB IDE drives.
There is a free (but crippled) demo version that can be...
I use Photoshop often so a calibrated display and color accuracy are more important to me than using digital vibrance to artificially enhance the display image. Some people prefer TVs which appear "brighter' and more "vivid" because those TVs color temp were set at cool blue 9300K instead of the...
One test: Use Windows's Display Properties > Settings > Advanced to adjust the DPI setting to LARGER fonts and use your PC like you usually do. See if you have less eyestrain (longer duration of monitor use without tiring your eyes). If larger fonts is more comfortable, then you should stay...

Can't wait for the release of the 8 display versions using 24", 30", 56" LCD panels :D
Imagine 8 of these 56" displays (each is QuadHD resolution):

Hey screwmesa,
Why did you reinstall XP? If it was due to bloatware, what bloatware was it? I was hoping that by getting a system thru Small Business instead of Home, I would avoid dealing with the bloatware...
The main requirements is to have an OS and videocards that can handle TWO Dell 3007s (or TWO Apple 30s)
Graphics boards based on the ATI x1800 series and the x1900 series are the only CONSUMER-level graphics cards that have the requisite TWO dual-link DVI ports to drive 2 Dell 3007s (or 2...
Hey curtisfong,
Is your Sceptre the X37SV? When did you buy your Sceptre? Are you familiar with the AVSForum discussion of the X37SV - do you have similar issues with your Sceptre? Any pros/cons after using your Sceptre? Was the Westy 37 a contender for you?
The Dell 2405 (1200p) and...
Monoprice.com is recommended by users of AVSForum.com for the good quality and low-cost of its cables.
DVI cables (look carefully to choose the version you want)

Then you shouldn't be confused about getting the Dell 3007 vs. Westy 37.
I think the 42" 1080p (1920 x 1080) is about equivalent DPI as a 30" 720p (1366 x 768) display
Sceptre is releasing its 42 " 1080p LCD TV by early March 2006 (if not in Feb)
There are webchats about the discounted price possibly being $1699 at Costco during the first week of March...
Hmmm, a 42" 1080p LCDTV possibly for $1699, confusing you even more? :p :D ;)

If the laptop is going to have to have a preinstalled AV, which one should I go for? (ie: Norton (resourse hog???), McAfee (never head a good word of them), PcCillin.. (who are they?))

If you can wait, the Intel Core Duo notebooks (next-gen Pentium M) are just starting to be sold. Anandtech compared the Core Duo CPU to the Athlon X2 3800+ and says that you'll get desktop performance from a mobile CPU. Dell's sole Core Duo laptop is the new Inspiron 9400 and has a $2000 base...

Hey, mell1n,
Deutsch420 is eager to buy a Westy at that price (Think he'll have a heart attack if he hears about the $1079 price :D) He posted that he'll pay $100+ to hire a "personal shopper" who will buy and ship the Westy to him...
So mell1n or anyone else who has a BestBuy selling at...

Supposedly that $1199 sale price ends TODAY 1/17/06 (of course there might be another sale in the future). Find someone who's willing to go and buy the TV if a nearby BB has the Westy in stock for that sale price. Then have the Westy shipped to you. Probably have to compensate them for their...
Well at the time the Anandtech article was written, the INTERNAL tuner reference design version was ready, but the EXTERNAL tuner version wasn't ready yet. Yet both are supposed to be identical in functionality and both send the display output to your PC via USB!

Ask yourself: what screen size do you enjoy viewing movies from 8-10 feet away? That's personal taste. Some people want a 27", 42", 60", 103" display. You may enjoy watching 8-10 feet away from a 10" display.
+ Use air conditioner
+ Use ducting (e.g. flexible plastic dryer vent ducting). One end is taped to the hot air exhausts from each of the PCs, the other end is taped to the back of a window fan that sucks up the hot air and blows it out the window. Use tape to cover up any air leaks at either...
