    FS: Audio-Technica ATH M50X Headphones + Slappa Hardbody Case

    It's that time to pay the bills and get rid of some toys. I recently (within 2 months) purchased these headphones and have decided to let them go. I love the sound, but can't justify keeping them as some unexpected expenses have come up. They are in perfect condition and only worn a few...

    I keep my Steam library on a dedicated 1TB WD Caviar Black drive and it's quickly filling up. I have a choice of either paying around $200 for a 500GB Samsung Evo SSD, or around $115 for a 2TB Caviar Black, or $145 for a 3TB Caviar Black. Which would be a wiser investment? Are there any...

    Astro A40, or better options for $150?

    I'm looking for a new headset. By headset, I mean something with an integrated microphone, as I don't want to deal with clip-on mics or desktop mics. I recently tried my friend's Astro A40 and was impressed with how comfortable it was. My only gripes about it were: -While the sound was...

    Mainframes still relevant? Career question.

    The CS department at the state university I attend has a strong relationship with IBM and some other large companies, to whom they send quite a few graduates. A lot of the work they end up doing has to do with mainframe programming and maintenance. The CS department's selling point is that the...

    Favorite glossy monitor?

    After trying out an IPS monitor, the Asus PB238Q, and putting it next to my HP w2207 (see my thread about it here), I've decided that no matte monitor out there will ever match the color quality of a glossy screen. I suppose I am willing to live with the occasional glare for that feature...

    FarCry 3 Mouse Sensitivity?

Setting the sensitivity bar to its lowest setting only helps a little but it's still overly sensitive and aiming is near impossible...

    Do LED monitors generally have more backlight bleed than LCD?

    I've been shopping around and it seems that all the LED monitors I've tried (sub-$250) have awful backlight bleeding at the edges. Is this because LED is not as refined in the lower-end models to save cost, or is LED generally more prone to this? Or do I have it all backwards? I just picked...

    Notification when being quoted?

    If this is already a feature, I'm not finding it, but I thought it would be useful if there was a Notification rule where you're only notified when someone quotes your post, so that you can respond if you choose to. I find that signing up for all replies in a thread gets cluttersome.
