i'm bumping this thread; i think valuable information can yet be shared on this matter

almost sounds like a spam-ad for that HD fury gimmick..

Lots of praise for this thing, still. I have to question how discerning, keen, and aware many of these people are. I have a strong feeling most of these people don't even realize their CRTs are withering with age. My HP version from an online retailer has never had perfect focus and has...

yeah.. get a tuniq tower with that saved money, and there you go, perfectly ready for stable OC'ing

Here's my problem: A) I have a password entry box that does not allow pasting and B) I have an enormously long line (64 chars) of obfuscated ASCII characters that is difficult to enter. I'm looking for a very simple (read: freeware) program that lets me enter, via paste, a string of text...

Mine "works" too, but in the way you described it. It doesn't work well at all. It seems RedOctate has acknowledged it, here's what they said to the bloggers at kotaku: http://kotaku.com/gaming/red-octane/red-octane-responds-to-defective-360-guitars-250451.php I have a 065 BTW.

HP too eh? Maybe there's some reason AccurateIT sells the HP for $500 and the Sony for $700 then... are these things inferior or what?

Thank you so much for the reply -- I have no fear of opening the boy up; only a fear of adequate tutorials for someone with zero WinDAS/CRT-tweaking experience. I'm gonna soak up all this info.

Just lower the refresh rate; that did it for me and many other users. Sometimes you only need to lower it by 2 or 3 Hz to stop the "vertical scan line" thing.

It is highly noticable on black text/white background, literally looks like I need glasses as I read text that goes from the center and gets blurrier towards the right. It's not really make-or-break, but it's extremely annoying. The center is crystal though. I'll see if I can get some monitor...

I know what you mean, but some gamers don't want the inherent acceleration that those mice make you use. The only way to turn off their acceleration is to install SetPoint, tell SetPoint to leave mouse movement "OS Controlled", and install the cpl fix or any other winxp mouse acceleration fix.

I don't think it's convergence. Go to 1940x1200 or 2304x1440 and see if you have the same issue as me. I can still see it at any widescreen resolution, even 1600x1000, but much less. Well I just bought the one linked in the first post...

If you aren't going SLI there's really no need to even think about it.. get the bad axe.

You can remove the knob, install it in one of the expansion slots in the back, and then put the knob back on.

Go ahead with the Tuniq, check any temp benchmark, you'll see it win out over the Zalman. And yes, I have a BX2 and a Tuniq, both installed without a hitch. Just make sure you direct the Tuniq's fan towards your case's rear outtake so it creates an outward-going windtunnel.

So my monitor is blurry on both sides.. think of a vertical gradient of blurriness, startging from the left and right edges of the monitor, that gets progressively less pronounced (more crisp) as it gets toward the center. The center region of my monitor is crystal, but the sides aren't --...

mx518 hands down.. the laser technology is all marketing hype (read the aforementioned ESR article on the subject), and the G5 scrollwheel is just an abomination; couple the G5's clunky scrollwheel with the lack of mouse4/mouse5 buttons and you have a losing combination for a gaming mouse. I...

lol

Replace 3 pixels with more like 5 pixels. And it is HARDLY irrelevant if you use photoshop, in fact it's crucial, and because this flaw is more apparent in logitech mice than other optical/laser based mouse (my MSIE 3.0 does not have this problem at all), it can be said that logitech mice are...

Smart one.. I can already feel the guilt from buying a rig this Christmas, knowing I should wait til mid 07 and the DX10 hoopla to make a splash.

I'd have to say so.. this is one man's opinion, but if you take a walk through any CPL match in 2006--a time when LCD tech was widely accepted and no longer considered on the fringe--all you'll see are CRTs. LCD/wireless users are 2nd rate enthusiasts. Anyway, my MSIE 3.0 came and the...

I think I regret shelling out 500 for mine at this point... I use it for PC only. I was able to adjust the focus POTs without removing the case, and when combined with convergence tweaks, the monitor is still blurry in all 4 corners. Every time I look at the time in the bottom right, or the...

The images in Mighty Joe's focus pot tutorial are down. Does anyone have them saved? Could you mirror them??

I just got mine from accurateit.com http://www.accurateit.com/details.asp?iid=156 It's great so far, with one annoying exception: The far-left side of the screen blurs text. My icon fonts all along the entire vertical range of the monitor--on the farthest left side--are blurred, and it...

dump

Same here -- that mouse is hideous. The side-tilting scrollwheel makes pressing mouse3 some kind of dexterity test. I returned mine after 2 days. People who use wireless mouses aren't serious and can't be taken serious as PC gamers -- they're closer to the stereotypical "modern...

Just for the record, I got this thing with the giant 250mm side fan. My CPU runes 3-5C cooler with the side fan ON. I'm fairly pleased with this case. I also took off the little armor hinges, which is easy to do, total of 8 screws and they come right off. Note: I'm running the Tuniq...

I second this recommendation, only I highly recommend you get a BX2 if you get an e6600.

I really shouldn't've indicated that it was limited, cause in reality it isn't when stacked up to some of the most hardcore enthusiast boards. You can see some of the complaints on this thread here (no CPU multiplier editor, as if that even mattered with an e6600, disfunctional HD LED light...

I'm glad, I really think you would be happy with it. (Hence my bothering to come back and check the post :) )

All I can say is you will not be disappointed by the BX2. I myself was asking the same question just a few weeks ago, and was considering both of these boards with an open mind. The P5W charges all sorts of extra money for gizmos like a remote control and other completely useless shelf-space...

I love my so far; had it for 2 days. e6600 with a tuniq tower 120 (and arctic silver 5)... CPU is at 1.4v, 3.5GHz, and runs 28-30C idle,55C load (orthos 1 hour). POSTed on first attmept, not a single problem, the latest bios even lets you go back and fix your settings if your OC...

Interesting example sn3ak3rp1mp, but I don't think it was truly "apples to apples"

Thanks for the interesting response drizzt81 I feel it would help if my games/OS/programs are separated from my documents and scratch files that would quickly lead to lots of fragmentation, so this fragmentation won't affect core system performance. If I were doing a small video or other...

"Decreased fragmentation, or faster access (due to data being stored on the inner most cylinders and thus easiera for the head to access)" These are some advantages I've read/heard over the years about partitioning big drives. I'm not too sure about them, though, which is why I'm asking...

I wouldn't install OS and programs/games on different partitions. I realize the futility. I'm interested in this possible setup strictly for performance reasons.

Would there be any benefits of partitioning one of the new 150g raptors drives, such as decreased fragmentation, or faster access (due to data being stored on the inner most cylinders and thus easiera for the head to access)? e.g. one 60 gig partition for installing the OS, games, and...

lol

I just got a used, open box Xtreme Music X-Fi from ZZF, after paying full price... I used to trust them after having a lot of good experiences with googlegear, but this will leave a sour taste in my mouth New Egg always has preference though.

NONE?!?!?
