Any recommendations that I should be shopping for if the Apple cinemas are a favorite? I'm not sure if I love gloss or just hate grainy coating that much more, but I do love the resolution and the colors (whites are white). The only thing I don't like about them is the thick bezel. Must...

I've tried a couple different graphics cards now and can't seem to get this done. It's 1 step forward, 2 steps back. The displays are Dell U2414H. Graphics cards I've tried: Diamond HD 7770, currently Asus 290X. I'm going in endless circles enabling and disabling Display port 1.2 in order to...

Can any of the high end nvidia cards run 6 displays (Dell U2414H)? Would the EVGA displayport hub do the trick if physical ports is the issue?

What are the best candidates worthy of photo editing AND low-lag gaming? I'm not a pro at either, just an enthusiast. Dell 3007WFP-HC (what's the img delay? really 11ms??! or is it as bad as 3008wfp?) any others?

alright, i just got this new dell 3008wfp and played some cod4 today. every 45 min or so it would freeze my screen for 1 sec, then go black like it does when it's changing the input source (2-3 sec), then my screen comes back with 1 sec of lag.. then it's normal again. wtf is causing this...

NEC LCD3090WUXi Dell 3008WFP Dell 3007WFP HC Samsung 305T Gateway XHD3000 i was stuck between the NEC and the Samsung, but the Samsung is so much less expensive. Now I'm stuck between the 3008WFP and the NEC because I found a new 3008WFP for $1450... is that the way to go? LCD3090 is my...

I've got 2 RAID volumes on one array setup like this: 3 x 1TB HD103UJ volume00 = 100GB RAID0 volume01 ~ 2TB RAID5 now, let's say a drive fails & I replace it. What happens? everything back to as it was, or is it complicated by having two volumes with different RAID levels?

edit, I think the things that I'm hung up on are - some P35 limit the second PCIe slot to x4, and I want my RAID card to run at x8. - if P45, would x8 for the VGA hinder my graphics card performance? in either case, it isn't clear to me if the second PCIe slot would be x8 for a non VGA...

I already have a server, but i'm trying to figure out if i should either build a dedicated HTPC w/BD player buy a BD player - eg PS3, Panasonic BD50 or Sony S550 buy an xbox 360 as a media center extender option 1 is expensive for the way I would do it ~ $1000 option 2 would mean...

What are the best options to support a pci-e x16 graphics card and a pci-e x8 RAID controller? eSATA would be nice, but not mandatory. This mobo is going to be for my media server / HTPC. Eventually, I plan to separate these functions into two boxes, but not for about 6 months. Ideally...

yeah, i don't know what's up with cpu-z (1.45) and core temp (0.99). i'm overclocking now at 380 x 10 = 3800 in BIOS. yet cpu-z is reporting my multiplier as 9 (380 x 9 = 3420). and core temp is reporting my fsb is 422 (422 x 9 = 3800). both are wrong. and fwiw coretemp 0.97 reported my VID as...

I just got an Areca Arc-1231ML card for a media server I'm building. It came with a 256MB DIMM, but I was wondering if I should upgrade the cache to 2GB. Actually, I've already made up my mind to upgrade it, so I'm really wondering which DIMM to get. Looks like I can get just about any 2GB...

Alright, what do you guys think? The main reason I'm trying 2 machines is because I want performance, but I want it quiet since the HTPC will be in the living room. Seemed like too many HDDs, and I want to work in a 2 generation hot swap somehow. Plus, I definitely want to OC both of these to...
