Very clean setup. Which speakers did you get?

If you aren't seeing any problems, just go with whichever you prefer. The thinner cable would be easier to route I'd assume. If you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase your XL2711T?

Thanks CrabJuice Looks good, although it's still higher than the S2740L http://www.prad.de/new/monitore/test/2012/test-dell-s2740l-teil6.html#Reaktionsverhalten

I've read that ghosting is an issue with the S2740L. If you're sensitive to ghosting, you should probably check out the YouTube videos and reviews first.

Would you happen to know the input lag measurements on the LG IPS277L?

Another vote for Head First Java. But even the best books can be difficult to follow sometimes if you're a beginner. So just to get started, I'd recommend you watch some tutorials on YouTube. For example, this one appears to be pretty easy to follow, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIaCURrxU00...

It's been a while since my last water cooled rig (used Koolance EXOS system on a AMD 2500+), I recall failing leak testing several times before eventually giving up. Now I'm at again and I was hoping you guys could help me out with my part selection. :) I'm trying to hit 5.0 GHz (currently...

Having owned both the H100 and D14, I prefer the D14. The H100 pump has a consistent high pitched noise that I find quite irritating. I chose the D14 over the Silver Arrow because of Noctua's better mounting system.

Thanks Evochuck! I was thinking I could use an external DVD drive instead since I don't load up discs very often. From the picture I can't tell if the backside of the DVD drive cage sits flush with the motherboard tray. After some thought, my other concern was the effectiveness of cooling when...

I am using the 4th expansion slot so that I get a slot in between for air. I just came across a post on another forum where a member removed the drive cage to fit a pump. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1355425

I am considering getting this case as well but I don't think my pair of triple-slot Matrix 580GTX will fit. I am thinking of permanently removing the drive cage in order to get the video cards to fit (and get better airflow to the cards as well). Has anyone tried this?

Yesterday I was able to get 4.7 GHz @ 1.375v stable in Prime95 small FFTs for 14 hours, but it is too high for my liking. Right now I'm running 4.6 GHz at 1.35v, I think the voltage can go lower at this speed but I haven't tried yet.

I recently purchased a Noctua D14 to replace my Corsair H100 because I couldn't bear the noise produced by the H100 fans on high speed. On low fan speed, the D14 provides much better temperatures on my 2600K. However, I am not enjoying the appearance of the brown fans. I've searched around...

Thank you all for taking the time to respond to my post! I think I will pass on the warranties considering the motherboard and graphics cards all come with a 3 year manufacturer warranty already.

I recently purchased a bunch of parts and built myself a new rig. My friend working at the store recommended a extended warranty for both the motherboard, graphics cards and speakers. In the product dies within the warranty period, a new replacement (non-refurbished) is given. They also provide...

Haven't built a custom PC for about 6-7 years now, recently I've decided to put one together. I've read that memory is not as important as they were back in the day. I recall scrounging all over the internet for BH5 ram modules for use with my AMD 2500+ CPU. :) I'm looking to achieve a 5.0 GHz...

I don't believe it's possible using software to control how much voltage is output through the USB port. Would hooking up a variable resistor to a fan powered by an external battery do the trick? Otherwise if it must be automatic, you could try building something using an Arduino...

Nearly identical to my upcoming rig, except I will be cramming it all inside an Antec Three Hundred case.

The Q9650 looks tempting. Where did you find this table? When will the price drops take effect?

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping that thermal paste stuck on a mirror shine would be easier to clean than a dull surface. I just purchased a lapping kit from easypckits.com and I'll see how it goes.

I've heard that using compound worsens thermal transfer, is this what your are suggesting?

Is it possible to obtain a mirror shine when lapping an aluminium heatsink? I've only seen mirror shines on copper from the guides and posts I've read. Any advice or suggestions on how this could be possible?

Thanks Danny, I think I will go with that approach. I'm thinking about using the hardware listed below, from your experience, do you think it will be fast enough? Intel D201GLY2 mATX DDR2 SATA Video Motherboard W/ Passive Celeron 220 1.2GHZ Processor Apex MI-008 MINI-ITX Case I plan on...

I'm shopping for a NAS that encrypts the contents of the disk so even if an intruder was to steal the drive, data would still be encrypted. I'm have only been able to find NAS units capable of encryption during data transfer. Any suggestions?

Managed to find some of the parts on Digikey if anyone else is looking. 4x blue 0805 SMD SideLED http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=475-1394-1-ND These probably aren't as bright as the ones used on the German site, since they're rated at 113 mcd instead of 180...

I was looking on Digikey for blue PLCC2 3528 SMD LED's but couldn't find any. PLCC2 brings up results, but what does the 3528 mean?

With VGA input?

I've seen case mods with small full color LCD monitors, does anyone know where I can find one of these with VGA input?

I am trying to unlock a Seagate Momentus notebook 2.5" drive. http://hdd-tools.com/products/rrs/howto/ The program I am using to unlock the drive requires the drive to be hooked up directly to the motherboard, so enclosures will not work. Does anyone know where I can find a 2.5" to 3.5"...

But isn't "Core Duo" and "Core 2 Duo" different? Perhaps a chipset designed for "Core Duo" will not work with "Core 2 Duo"?

I am planning to upgrade a Dell XPS M1210 notebook CPU from a Core Duo 1.8 GHz to a Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, is this possible?

Very nice desk, where did you get it?

I've owned a 2407FPW for over half a year now, just a few minutes ago I noticed a buzzing noise. I did some searches on google and found this thread. A gentleman on that thread posted a question asking if anyone experienced a "buzzing noise" when brightness was lower than 85. Simply put...

switched the molex pins with a small flat head screwdriver and now it works just fine! will post pics in a little bit.

I like the PC-G7B, very nice. Just remember to buy a box of latex gloves, so you don't get fingerprints on them. I've had 2 Lian-Li's, a black and a silver, they stain very easily with grease. I don't have moist hands either.

thanks guys! if the switch doesn't work, I'll try a cell phone charger :)

I bought a cold cathode kit long ago which came with molex connector that connects to a wall outlet. For some odd reason though, this power cable won't power my fan. The LED indicates on, but the fan doesn't spin. I created a ghetto notebook cooler out of a video card box, but I need means to...

wow, thanks!

It's nice to be back, haven't posted here in a while. I've been looking for a device that could copy picture files from a compact flash card to a hard drive directly without aid of a computer. Any suggestions?
