    Dell U2311H

    So I also just got one of these... I'm not really happy with it. It's definitely blue compared to my Westinghouse l2410nm. Should I send this one back or is this how they all are? I don't see any yellow tint, its just all blue.. that's notepad spanning across both monitors

    It's sped up 50x so 30 minutes each. :(

    Many of the girls are forced or tricked into this. That is why we should care.

    mouse acceleration?

    It's personal preference. I personally can't stand mouse acceleration but many good players use it. It does take a few days to get used to. You could try turning the mouse speed down a little, 1800DPI can be quite fast.

    mouse acceleration?

    You could change it with some other software but doesn't make any difference on a diamondback anyways. It's probably more precise because of the way acceleration works. When you move a small amount with acceleration on, the mouse moves very very slowly. However, when you move that same amount...

    Verizon Tests Sending RIAA Copyright Notices

    Anyone downloading or uploading the same torrent as you can see your IP even if you encrypt it. The RIAA will see you, tell Verizon and then Verizon will send you the letter.

    TxtnG Ur FrNdz Makes U the 5mar+3r

    The article is talking about technology in general, not just texting. Either way, most people don't talk in "text speak" anymore since it's impractical with T9.

    Gigabyte rebate scam through status-now

    I've never heard of a rebate where you don't have to send in the UPC... or a RMA that needs the packaging. If you've already tried contacting gigabyte then file a complaint with the BBB. I had trouble with an Antec rebate earlier this year and got the rebate a week after I notified the BBB.

    Student Ordered to Pay RIAA $675,000

    He admitted to downloading and sharing them in 2004 and I think kazaa was still pretty popular back then.

    Good 775 LGA cooler for budget?

    That freezer 7 pro used to go for around $20 thats probably why it got so much attention. I have one in my p180 mini right now but for $30 you could do much better. I'd go with a Xigmatek or this sunbeam because it's on sale right now...

    Did your Asus P5Q-E board come sealed or stained?

    My P5Q-Pro didn't come sealed at all, and I had an EVGA board with that white stuff on it. I don't know what it is but it works fine. Sucks though, it sounds like you have a faulty motherboard. :(

    Why Lenovo???

    I think it's mainly just the IBM designed lenovos that use trackpoints since the Ideapad line doesn't have one. Having no trackpoint was a dealkiller on the S10 for me also, I can't stand using a touch pad after having a X61.

    Should I dust of the old 8400GS just for PhysX??

    You just enable it in the Nvidia control panel. With a modded .inf the 180.48 drivers will support any 8 series card so the OP could use his 8400.

    9800GT for Physx-Still need monitor attached with latest drivers?

    With the 180.48 drivers I don't need a second monitor attached for my 9800GX2 and 8600GT for physx. I think it may have made my physx worse though...

    Putting a 2.5" hdd into a shuttle SFF

    I would use the 3.5" to 2.5" bay bracket you mentioned.

    Antec 180p mini, how do you install hard drives if the hard drive cages are removed?

    AFAIK you can't. I noticed that this morning when I was putting together my P180 mini. You could use 5.25 to 3.5 adapters but the drives would get no airflow.

    [?] cooler performance?

    I'd say the DuOrb is the best out of those but I can't really rank them. The Gemini II is more of a motherboard cooler than a CPU cooler. IIRC according to maximumpc the DuOrb was the best they have reviewed but they haven't reviewed any of the real top coolers...

    EVGA Step up / down

    You have to send them you're invoice and so they go off the price you bought it for. Edit: I type too slow.

    Do I need thermal paste on...

    I would get Artic Cooling MX-2 from yesbuy for $7 shipped unless you can get the AC7 for $20 shipped. Newegg shipping for TIM is a rippoff. Yesbuy just has slow shipping... http://www.yesbuy.net/arctic-cooling-mx-2-thermal-compound.html They also have AS5 but MX-2 generally performs better...

    Laptop Coolers

    I'd go with either the zalman NC1000 or the NC2000 depending on the size of your laptop but the NZXT is good also. Heres a good thread about laptop coolers. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=252773

    Mosfet cooling for evga 790i FTW? Pics inside!

    I used MC14 ramsinks on my 650i and it worked fine. You may have to cut a few of them in half though. Heres some pics of what someone else did to a 680i. http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=91698&mpage=1&key=&#91698
