    Im a idiot, PSU AC wiring guide.

    So I am building my brand new Antec Aria computer system. As I am trying to jimmy in the motherboard, I See it would be much easer, or possible, if i removed the PSU first. The PSU could only go so far out until it was caugth short by the wires going into teh AC inlet plug. So without thinking I...

    Hi-Res LCDs?

    I think its unlickely that monitters of those specs may ever come out for regular consumrer use. A 17 with 1600x1200 resolution will have an extremely high pixel density, much of the sharpness wil be lost due to being to small for people to see, also tex and other important things will be...

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    The shipping label should be behind the order sheetin in that plastic pouch on the outside of the box. But I still think that 2 stuck pixels is not worth returning for.

    Couldn't stand the stuttering in my games, and tried this!

    Reminds me of experiments ive dont on nvidia drivers. With my ti4600, if i install drivers later then 45.XX then I lose about 1000 3dmarks(3dmark2001se). So for a long time i stayed with those drivers but revently decided to go with the most current ones for better compatibility, but the card...

    FP931 or 172X

    Weird, that is the exact choice I was stuck between 3 weeks ago. I eventually chose the fp931, but when newegg screwed up the order and I had to cancel it, I waited a few more weeks and then went with the 2005fpw from dell. edit: Another thing to think about, the fp937 is for sale at pcmall...

    I have a good idea. Whenever one of us returns their moniter for backlight problems, they should put some kind of subtle but identifiable mark on some part of hte packaging. That way when Dell recieves it and immediatly sends it out as a replacement for someone else who has backlighting probs we...

    2005FPW Fix it yourself?

    I dont see why that it would confuse you people dont like dell pc's but may like thier moniters. The reason I would never buy a Dell PC is because I am now a do-it-yourselfer. I would never give up complete control over what my computer is made out of or who makes it. With dell that is the only...
