Looks like the Asrock mini ITX FM2+ board (FM2A88X-ITX+) is finally available: https://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=MB-A88XITX

The third-party SATA 6G controllers seem to underperform the native ones by a significant amount also, even if you could find a board with one: http://techgage.com/article/battle_of_the_sata_30_controllers/1

Have any of you guys run a PicoPSU on an ATX power extension cable like that one? I'm currently working on a build in a Wesena ITX2, and the PicoPSU blocks the 2.5" drive mount (on the side of the case) when plugged directly into the motherboard. I'm thinking of using an extension cable, but I'm...

It would replace the case's PSU, so you'd have 120W rather than 90W, assuming you got an AC adapter brick that could supply the picoPSU 120W.

Don't know if anyone's posted this yet, but I found a review of the ASRock A75M-ITX: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4295/asrock_a75m_itx_amd_a75_motherboard_review/index.html Edit: now that I've read it, it's not exactly the greatest review in terms of what they actually look at...

I love AMD for the awesomely supported Socket 754 ;)

Looks like this board is up on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500069 And there's also a version with a discrete GT430 onboard for an extra $50: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500070

Not necessarily. There will be a dual-core version, but the Atom that they'll put in these sub-notebooks will almost definitely be single-core.

I installed a 7900GT into a new PC running Vista Home Premium (first mistake...), and I originally didn't plug in the 6-pin supplemental power connector. I installed the latest nVidia driver, and after awhile in Windows an error message popped up saying that the card wasn't getting enough power...

Yeah, same here. I ordered on the 29th, but it's showing them OOS now and it hasn't shipped yet. I hope their stock was up to date and I don't have to wait a week or two to get it.

If you're going to get a non-HD TV, why not just stick with CRT? It seems like a waste of money to spend extra for an LCD TV when you won't be using it in a few years. CRT TVs are so cheap now, I'd just stick with one of them for SD.

As long as you can tolerate the lower resolution, it should be ok. I don't think I could game at 1366x768 though, too grainy. That's basically one of the biggest reasons why 24-inch monitors cost more than large LCD TVs. You're talking about 1920x1200 vs. 1366x768. That makes a huge difference...

I believe they do, I think they just don't have the same return policy as new ones. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... But this monitor would be my suggestion either way. You can get decent deals on ebay too, but then you have no guarantees wrt dead pixels and such.

I would suggest the Dell 2007wfp. 20", S-IPS panel, and it has HDCP. Or the NEC 20" with the glossy screen, if you're into that.

I don't have experience with both, but I have the 2007. It's awesome, and I'm glad I got it. It's great for games/internet, but I haven't really watched any movies on it. If you're not too concerned about being able to return it you could get it quite a bit cheaper on ebay. That can be a...

From what I gathered, "Tristar" is Samsung.

LOL "Fist Review" "1st, you have the purchase intention to 24 inches? Does not have, to have a look to be alright, the price too was expensive Has, 24 inches are the kingly ways" They are indeed the kingly ways.

I got a JVC on clearance at CompUSA for $525. I guess I was more concerned with getting a good deal than getting the best TV out there, but it's pretty good. At this point, anything was better than my ancient 19".

I had the same ideas bouncing around my head all summer. I was looking at all the 24" monitors and whatnot, but I realized that I'd rather be able to use both my computer and TV at the same time. I got a 2007WFP for the computer and a 26" LCD TV. I'd been hooked on the idea of 1080p for...

Damn, that's sexy. I wish I could afford it!

There's a bunch of different 23" ones besides the Apple that have more adjustment options and lower prices. Sony, HP, Viewsonic, and Philips all have 23 inchers.

The only S-IPS panels in that range that are out now are 23 inchers (Sony, Apple, HP, etc.). There's supposed to be a new NEC 24" coming out in November, I think, but it'll cost a pretty penny. Something like $1400, IIRC. Paging travbomb...

I'm interested in an answer to this too. I just bought a 2007fpw and was wondering if it could do double duty as main monitor and part-time HDTV. I guess in that way I'm interested in results over the analog inputs too.

That's not going to make a difference seeing as TV is broadcast at a maximum framerate of 60 Hz. and that only at 720p. The TV is just going to show the same frame twice.

Where did you see that? From what I saw, there was no mention of it being fixed (and seeing as this is only a firmware upgrade, it most likely is NOT fixed).

What video standard uses BNC connectors? I'm a dumbass.

Yeah, you're not to going to get any higher than 1600x1200 on a 20-inch LCD. The only higher would be 1920x1200 on a 23- or 24-inch, or 2560x1600 on a 30-inch.

He's saying that effectively, a 40ms input lag adds 40ms to whatever delay you're experiencing from ping. I think he just worded it awkwardly. But yes, effectively that is what is happening. And if you have a 100ms ping, you might want to get a new server/internet connection :)

Why would you want to raise the refresh rate anyway? LCDs don't flicker like CRTs, so there's no reason to refresh them at higher rates.

Definitely not. They're only cheaper because they have lower resolutions. They're all 1366x768 while your 20" LCD monitor is 1680x1050 and your 24" is 1920x1200. That makes a huge difference when used as a PC monitor.

I think you're misunderstanding the problem. Input lag and response times are two different things. Input lag is caused by the system the monitor uses to process the input it's getting, it's based on the processing circuitry. Response times are how long the panel itself takes to change colors...

I've got a SATA HD and 2x1GB Patriot PC6400 4-4-4-12 RAM. I've got it up to 360-365 too with the same settings you showed up above.

I wouldn't buy one personally, as it would seem like a downgrade from the 1280x1024 that I'm used to. I'm looking into buying a widescreen LCD, but only 20" and up to be at least comparable to what I have now (17" LCD). I think people at least want some space tacked onto the sides of their...

Dude, don't do it. Especially if it involves bank transfers and whatnot. No one would sell a 3007 for $600, you're just setting yourself up. I'd give someone half price on something that didn't exist too. It's not like he's losing money when he's getting you to pay something for nothing.

I'd say closer to 100%, maybe more.

Yeah, I wish! I tried that going to 333 and it wouldn't POST so I decided to slow it down a tad. Tonight I'll see what happens with the settings you're at, see if I get similar results.

I got to 333 MHz FSB last night at stock voltage and with Vdimm at 1.9V. I could get up to around 345, but it wasn't very stable even with upping Vdimm to 2.1V and upping the CPU a little. I'm hoping to get a little further tonight after work.

I got my E6300 today and I'm installing windows right now. As soon as I get some real results I'll be posting them here.

Yeah, not bad, but you might want to organize them a little when you get a chance (by Brand/Chipset maybe).

You might want to check out the Acer AL2423Wdr. You can get it for $700 at Newegg, but it doesn't have all the input options of the Dell.
