So, a refurbished FP241VW for $445 in the Clearance Shop. I always wish I knew what they mean by "refurbished" - anyhow, that's a pretty damn good price for that monitor from what I gather.
The new ones are backordered at the moment with no available date listed.
I guess I'd like some...
So I just got one of these famed DS-263N panels directly from Doublesight.
The Good:
Bright, clear, and large workspace. The panel can be tilted to an acceptable range of use. I actually like the little menu "nub" and find it easy to use.
The Bad:
There's some sort of horizontal, wavy...
So, I'm out of options for overclocking this XPS 420, because the BIOS quite simply doesn't allow for it.
However, I *can* physically alter the CPU.
There's a guy who overclocked his Q6600:

So...
1. Does anybody here think this trick...
Hello, I've never run CCC on this new machine (32-bit Vista with .NET Framework installed).
When I click on CCC, the hour glass spins momentarily, but nothing shows up on my desktop or elsewhere for that matter.
Am I missing something blatantly obvious?
So, I'm running a Q9300 but not OC'd. It's inside a Dell XPS 420.
I am adding a HD 4870 to the mix.
The recommended wattage for PSU with the 4870 is 500 watts, so I have to upgrade.
PC Power&Cooling makes a "Dell-compatible" power supply (Silencer 500) that's exactly 500 watts.
I...
So, I won't belabor any statistical evidence to support my opinion. After all, everybody has personal preferences, but the V2400W was very disappointing on a couple levels.
Mine had zero stuck pixels.
Out of the box, I was worried about the stability of the bezel. The touch-sensitive menu...
Does anybody know whether or not I'll have trouble using a Radeon HD 4870 with a Dell XPS 420 rig? (Don't hate me for it, I didn't buy the thing.)
I bought a Dell compatible PC Power & Cooling 500 Watt power supply so I should be good to go on that front.
Now I'm just worried about space...
I have a buddy who just warned me that his 20" Apple Cinema Display won't work with Vista. He was told it wasn't Vista compliant and therefore it wasn't *supposed* to work.
That all sounded flaky to me, but I'm not really shocked by anything anymore when it comes to content protection...
1. How big are these things? Assuming the various manufacturers are making them in similar dimensions, does anybody have any info about the length of these cards?
I recently picked up a machine from Dell that was configured with the 8800 GT, so I figure as long as the 8800 GT will fit, the...
So, I'd like to thank 10e, GTOViper, Jim Robbins, gtg465x, et al. for their oft long-winded but ultimately informative reviews.
Of course, if I get my display and think it's awful, I'll be writing you all nastygrams. j/k :D
The following monitors were considered in my process:
HP 2408H...
