All I can say is that I'm glad there is no AGP version available, yet. It keeps my itchy finger from clicking that place order button. :D

I used my own rechargeable batteries when I had a MX700. I was a tad disappointed when I learned that you can't change the battery of MX1000. After actually using it, however, I couldn't care less about it. Either Logitech improved the power consumption or the bettery of the MX1000 is really...

Another thing to add, Elite and MX1000 cost about $99 while MX3100 sets you back about $114. For $15 more you get a wireless keyboard which looks subjectively better (the color match too).

I have a MX3100 wireless combo. Works and looks great. I used to have a MX1000 and an Elite but I gave them to my girlfriend since she pretty much uses her laptop as a desktop now. If you want wireless control of your computer, MX3100 is great. Otherwise, Elite and MX1000 should make a...

This is not a review or anything, just some screenshots of the tempurature on my GT. Some initial thoughts on VF700-AlCu, this is one hell of a cooler! A 10C drop in temp is pretty impressive, not to mention I have it on silent mode (5V). Idle (66.93 w/ stock fan) Load (66.93 w/ stock...

Thanks for the suggestion. Did a quick google on VF700-AlCu and found several reviews. hardCOREware Overclockers Online Neoseeker techPowerUp! Over all this seems to be quite a performer! I like the fact that it has a Quiet mode in which the unit can still cool the gpu quite well...

Are they compatible? The stock fan is so noisy it's driving me crazy and this seems to be the only option I can find for a 6800GT.

Does IC7-G uses the same fan as IC7 does? I would assume so but I need to make sure. That piece of crap fan died on me :mad:

It took me a while to figure it out. Don't going into the main menu, instead, when OSD is not showing press "-" (the third button from the right) and the brightness/contrast menu will come up. Contrast in grayed out when hooked up with DVI though.

When using those SUN workstations with 21" or above monitors in the labs, I always feel that my sight is restriced and can't wait to get back to use my 2005FPW. Granted it's more screen real estate. But wild aspect is more "natural" and I would never go back to a 4:3 monitor.

Yep, I need an extra one since I have two optical drives. Thanks for the replies, folks!

Will this fit in a V1000? There is no indication that this cover will fit in a V1000. But to me it looks very much the same as the one that comes with the V1000. I just ordered a silver V1000 but my optical drive covers are black and I'd like them to match.

LOL, did that already. Those are monsters! I had to move my head up and down to see the whole screen. But being a gready bastard, MAYBE I'll still want more if I do get my hands on one :D

Dammit, now that I have 2005 I want a 2405! When I first ordered my 2005 I thought since I'm really happy with my 19" CRT, a 20" wide aspect could be more than enough. Now after about 1 and a half week I am used to this resolution and actually want more! Bad thing about using a wide screen...

I've had mine for almost a week and the backlight bleeding seems to be getting better. And since there is no dead pixel this is definitely a keeper.

Mine just arrived yesterday. No dead pixel but has some back light bleeding. It's not noticeable unless the whole screen turns black, which seldom occurs. So I have no gripe. If it starts to bother me later, I'll just try the leave-it-on-face-down trick somebody mentioned before. No dead...

Hi all, I recently bought a 2005FPW and am thinking about getting a Soundbar to go with it. The reason being that I will move out of dorm in a couple months and don't want to carry lots of sh!t with me. As much as I hate to part with my Planar Media 9 speaks, the subwoofer takes too much...

Ordered mine few hours ago. Woohoo! Finally I can get rid of this heavy 19" brick. BTW, does it come with a DVI cable or I have to get my own?

I leave my eVGA 6800GT running at stock speed. Unless I OC the shit out of it, the extra few fps are neglectable therefore it's not worth it at the risk of damaging my card.

Holy moly, Cat. 4.8 with the new control panel weighs 41.5MB. A whopping 15.5MB increase in size compare to the old control panel. Bloatware I call it.

I beat the game with a FX5200 :D At 640 x 480 Medium the game still looks fantastic. What a great engine D3 has. It's gonna be a whole new era when games based on D3 engine come out.

Make sure in Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages -> Supplement language support, check Install files for East Asian languages.

I just put my MX700 in the cradle every night when I go to bed. Never have to worry about battery dying. The upcoming MX1000 uses a lithium ion battery, so it should last longer.

I placed my order at BuyXtremeGear few days ago for $409. I bought it there because it was the only one with GT's in stock that bundle Doom3. The next day after I placed the order they jacked up the price for 10 bucks though. But it's still a better deal than ZipZoomFly's which charges you 30...

I was scared and mama wasn't there so I sent it. Seriously, I heard it doesn't make a difference. I beat it today with sending the message. I'm gonna play it again and see what happens if I don't send no shit.

It's $66.99 with free shipping on Amazon. Still a lot for a mouse though.

Thanks for the heads-up. Preordered at Amazon! FYI, Newegg release date: 8/27 Amazon release date: 9/1

How do you know the capability of a game that's not even out. Since you said that the VST and CS:S don't represent what HL2 will be like. Can you give us something to back up your statement?

Try ImageShack.

Indeed! This is usually how I play. Save like there's no tomorrow. One of my friends always bitches about this and says that he couldn't stand watching me play games. So I save even more just to drive him nuts.

I just got a Prolink FX5200 PCI from the egg few days ago. This is a back up card so I want it as cheap as possible. This is a entry-level card (or even below that), paying more the same reference design is just a waste of money.

They sent you a new replacement before you sent in the broken one? Holy crap! I didn't know ATi has such a good customer service!

Hi folks, Can anyone recommend a good PCI video card? My uncle has a 9800 or a 9600(I don't remember) installed and he hooks it up with two monitors. Now he wants to add a LCD display to the list. I'm thinking about either a G450 PCI or a FX5200 PCI. I've heard that G450 has great...

I know it's not meant to be a gaming card in today's standard, but what level is Matrox G450 at? I mean, is it on par with a GF2 or even lower?

Heh, a new AvP with Doom3 engine will defenitely boost diaper sales. Actually, they should bundle the game with some.

Turn on vsync?

I always think that Stalker looks too bright and unrealistic in outdoor daytime environment. And the weapons lack the metal polish look. But, as long as it has great gameplay, I don't give a sh*t!

How about BitComet?

No I can't imagine nor do I want that to happen. It would be like the sound card industry. Creative does privode good products, but they're definitely not pushing the envelop.That's why after Aureal died computer audio is literally still water.

IIRC, there was an article on the net saying that dust is toxic. So you might want to stay away from it.
