    Apple 27" LED Cinema Display

    Just hooked up a 27" Cinema LED to my PC with MSI GTX 460 Hawk SLI. I'm using the Atlona DP-400 and everything works great in Windows at 2560x1440. But I am getting nothing on the display during post, i.e. I cannot see the bootup text or get into the BIOS or boot device override menu. The...

    Tessellation Hero Challenge (NV OR AMD)!! Bring it!!

    I'll give this a try and report back. I did see at a thread on another site that someone who got a 30+ score with a SLI 460 repeated the test with the proper settings and the score dropped to the 23-24 range which is consistent with what I found. I was pretty sure my scores weren't low...

    Tessellation Hero Challenge (NV OR AMD)!! Bring it!!

    GF104 does scale great, my scores come close to doubling when comparing single GPU to SLI. But the highest score I can get with 2 x 460 overclocked 900/1800/2000 with a 980X and PCIe @ 110MHz is 24.9 without reducing the Nvidia control panel settings from default. My score did go up about 10%...

    Tessellation Hero Challenge (NV OR AMD)!! Bring it!!

    The results for 2 x 460 in the 30-31 range are suspect; they were likely run without having all three tesselation sliders at 2.0 before starting the benchmark or at a lower resolution, or with some other quality setting turned down. With my overclocked 460 Hawks in SLI (900/1800/2000 @...

    3007WFP-HC arrives, first impressions and picture

    Actually I went to Slickdeals.net, registered for their forum, and used one of the 20% off flat panel display coupons in the Dell coupon forum. You can also buy them off Ebay for $10 or so, which would have been my next option. Somewhere here sent me one via email, but it was no longer valid...

    3007WFP-HC arrives, first impressions and picture

    Although Dell specificed shipping time at 1-2 weeks, mine went out the day after I ordered. This is my first Dell monitor. I'm impressed with the stand and sheer size. Quality seems good. Previously I used a Sony SDM-P234/B and Apple Cinema HD, before that a 17" Samsung 170T. Revision...

    Which monitor to get ? Dell 2707 or 3007 ?

    Well I just placed the order for the 3007WFP-HC. It was a tough decision, but bottom line is size won out. And the major criticisms of the 3007 (single input, lack of scaling, absent OSD) were not deterrents, as it will be used solely as a computer monitor and the Nvidia GPU drivers can do all...

    Which monitor to get ? Dell 2707 or 3007 ?

    Thanks for all the good info. I still cannot make up my mind but am leaning towards the 2707 to avoid having to mess with DPI scaling. Since the 3007's lack of inputs (most frequently mentioned fault) doesn't matter to me, it is tempting. The 2007 just went on a 10% sale, while the 10% sale...

    Which monitor to get ? Dell 2707 or 3007 ?

    I was planning on getting a 3007-HC but am starting to think the 2707 may be a better choice for me. I have enough space to accomodate either, but not enough space for a 32" 1080p HDTV as my credenza has a 30" wide space for a display and all the 1080p HDTVs are at least 31" wide. Right...

    HOT: Dell 20% off Monitors, check your email/mail for the coupons

    I'm planning to buy a a 3007-HC as soon as I can get a 20% coupon. If you have one and will not be using it please send it to me via PM. I signed up for Dell emails but nothing has come yet... Thanks

    Just got a Samsung 305T

    Have you tried to fix the dead pixels ? I've successfully used a program for this on several monitors and it usually worked. It would let you draw a little square around the dead pixel(s) and then switch between red, green, and blue color within the square(s) as fast as possible. I would...

    ATI X1900 series with Vista 5308

    Cannot get any drivers to work with my X1900XT (flashed to XTX) with Vista 5308, either 32bit or 64bit. I've tried various drivers supplied with Vista -- none of which are written for the X1900 series -- and also the ATI 5270 beta drivers. Anyone have success with this combination ?

    silverstone tj-07 release date??

    I've been waiting for the TJ-07 for quite a while now. No news on release date, but a few new pictures (10/26/2005) have surfaced. Looks very nice! Same arrangement as the Lian-Li V series without the mainboard inversion, which is good for the heatpipe coolers in boards like the A8N32-SLI and...

    Opteron S939 1xx series on ASUS A8N-SLi Premium

    Just read about the Opteron 180 -- s939, 1MB cache, 2.4 ghz Basically the equivalent of the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ But price is lower at $799 ! May be a better overclocker too. http://www.itjungle.com/breaking/bn092705-story01.html

    Thermalright XP120 + Aluminum fan = modding (pics)

    Nice job. Any noise problems from fan vibration on the heatsink ? It may be worth putting some small rubber or felt spacers between the heatsink and corners of the fan to keep the two aluminum pieces from directly touching.

    Teh Uber L33t Aqua-Computer Thread :)

    About two weeks a year I work nighthawk shifts and yes, I get pestered all night long! Mostly trauma (one hosp is a Level I center) but also calls from the ICU like "can we use Mr. Smith's feeding tube?" or "Ms. Johnson cannot breathe and is turning purple, could you look at her chest x-ray?"...

    I'm going to start my new AC PC soon, now that there seems to be a reliable source within the USA. This is the case I'm thinking of using. Opinions (particularly TN and others familiar with the case) ? Custom Lian-Li V2000B...

    Koolance - DIY Hybrid

    TopNurse, you can get a nice bolt-on-window side panel for the PC-V1200B here I was planning on buying one of his pre-modded Lian-Li cases to use with an Exos II or Aqua Computer setup. Or maybe I'll just go for the PC3-725BK. It should be about as good as the Exos II with the fans...

    Smokin' Sony SDM-P234

    This morning my ten week old Sony SDM-P234 starting making a high frequency whining noise. Shortly thereafter smoke started rising from the vents on the top, accompanied by the smell of burnt electronics. Image, controls, everything still worked fine. I called Sony and got the great advice...

    Teh Uber L33t Aqua-Computer Thread :)

    Great job, BlueAqua. Your case looks amazing. It looks like you have the Aquastream pump mounted to the rear of the Aquabay. I thought this setup would block the three inlets on the back of the Aquatube but it looks like you have an Aquajet installed. Are you using those three rear inlets...

    Teh Uber L33t Aqua-Computer Thread :)

    Anyone know when the hipersys external cooling kit will be available for order? I'm probably going to end up getting all the individual parts and mod my PC-V1200B case, but the hipersys has most of when I was going to purchase (AquaTube, AquaStream, Evo240, Aquaero) in a neat looking package.

    Teh Uber L33t Aqua-Computer Thread :)

    Dan (or anyone else) know if the AquagraFX 6800 will work on the QuadraFX 3400/4400 boards? Plans are for a SLI pair driving a 2560x1600 LCD monitor via dual-DVI.

    for those planning to SLI with PCP&C 510

    I think the 700ETX is designed specifically for single CPU with SLI setup, with two PCIx 6-pin connectors and a single 4-pin 12v motherboard connector. The 850ETX will have the 8-pin motherboard connector along with the the two PCIx connectors. No need for this for a single CPU setup...
