It's really worth picking up just for the multiplayer. This is one of my most player 360 games at the moment. The sound design is sweet, if you have a 5.1 setup.
I think they are feeling a little pinch from ATT. I made switch over to ATT U-Verse service and love it. Everyone I know that has Comcast hates it and are currently looking for alternative solutions.
wow that sucks about the 606. I was looking to buy that but opted for the Denon 1709. The video upconversion is better but dones't pass audio over HDMI, bummer.
No need to go with speakers that are computer specific. I think it's a big mistake to overlook all these suggested alternatives. You guys have given some great recommendations.
I just setup a Denon 1709 Reciever and Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers. Let me tell you that I'm amazed these speakers sound as good as they do for $600. I did tons of research for months and came to the conclusion that after reading tons of reviews that these speakers were hard to beat at that...
2 - 17" crts that pretty much suck. I'm a graphic designer and my home setup rocks my work setup.
At home I have 2 - 24" NEC's 2490 + 2470. I guess the home setup is like a second job since I do freelance work on my off time.
yeah, I'm thinking of it the same way now. It was just hard to spend twice the amount of cash I did on my 2470wnx. Now, I see why it costs more. Plus, I use it for my graphic design work and I'm glad I got it. Photos and art look so great it makes me excited about my job all over again.

I've played crysis/quake wars/cod4 on it so far. It has been fine for those. I have yet to hook up a 360 since I don't have one just yet. I've heard the 360 looks just fine on it using hdmi to dvi cable. I use my 2490 for 70% digital art and 30% gaming. I do game but not 24/7. It does have...
Well, after one day of use I'm more than impressed with the 2490. It is by far the best lcd I've ever layed my eyes on. I have it right next to my 2470wnx and it blows it away. The text is crisper and color is fantastic. The SV package was a must and made calibration a snap. The difference...
I had the Lachesis and the thing has lots of issues. Razer support is very slow, so I just tossed the mouse. I replaced it with that Ikari Steel Series Lazer and love it. Best mouse I've owned so far. Great for work and gaming. The steel series software is simple and to the point, unlike Razers...
Here you go Coolink Gfxchilla 4 Heatpipe VGA Cooler . I wanted to keep my noise levels down and they fit the bill. Both my cards idle at high 40's to 50c. I know you can do that with the "fan mod" but you also increase the noise level a bit. These GFXchillas are virtually silent.
yea, they do seem well built but I need to find ways to cut noise down where I can. My machine is already a bit on the loud side. My 9800 GTX was much louded than my new crossfire setup.
What are your temps? My cards idle at around 50c so far. I installed GFX chillas on both and love them. This is my first experience with crossfire and so far its looking good.
yeah, I jumped the gun on that one. It runs at the right speed when I'm in a game. I installed those GRF Chillas on both cards and man are those silent. My 3D mark numbers arn't much better than my 9800 GTX and 3Dmark06 crashes everytime.
I Just installed 2 4870's in crossfire. The problem is when I go to the ATI control panel and look at current GPU settings the GPU clock jumps from 770MHZ to 500MHZ. It also does this when just one 4870 is installed. Anyone have any idea why the GPU clock would do that? It does this no matter...
It only makes sense to make games that run well on all types of systems. I upgrade my computer all the time because I enjoy tinkering, but I respect games that are accessible to everyone. It nice to have the option to crank everything up thats for sure. I does come down to gameplay and not...
Yea, I guess it would have if they were going to credit me exactly what I paid for the card a few months ago compared to what the GTX is going for now. Guess I got all excited and jumped the gun.
Thanks for the information. I was just about to finish my EVGA step-up. I canceled that bad boy and I'm selling my GTX on ebay. Eh, I also felt dirty for some reason stepping up to the 280. That would have cost me 300smackers anyway.
