ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

No problems. I posted the stuff above before I received this monitor, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to play games in the monitors native resolution and that it wouldn't look very good. I play Nam in 1280x960, which isn't native for the monitor, but it still looks awesome...

NOT HOT. netflix delays shipping on purpose

Blockbuster does the same thing. I live in Minneapolis, there is a distribution center here and it takes them 4 days to get me the next movie AFTER they say it has shipped. Funny, all other mailings in the metro area take one day!

ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

Received mine yesterday. I was worried about the 6 bit color and dithering. Why? I don't know. This monitor blows away my 8 bit Viewsonic in color, brightness and sharpness. This is the best LCD I have ever seen in person. Maybe I'm biased because I bought one, but the picture is beautiful...

ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

Battlefield Vietnam primarily. I guess I was generalizing, sorry! BFV has higher resolutions, but not 1280x1024. It has 1280x960 and that is very distorted. Friends that have 17" LCD's play in 1024x768 and 17" LCD's have the same native resolution as 19"s. I don't know anyone with a 19"...

Sony PSP Preorder

If you can buy them locally it is a risk free proposition, you can always return them. I would imagine about 1 month of "impossible to find" and then "hard to find" for a while after that. I also think that you could easily make $100/ea. the first week.

ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

Can anyone describe what it's like playing games on a 19" LCD? Most games have a max resolution of 1024x768, doesn't that look bad if you aren't playing in a native resolution? BTW, I just ordered one of these. Can't wait, sounds awesome.

Definitely. Sony is notoriously bad at volume production and distribution. Get as many as you can on day one and you will make money.

DEAD: Trade in your old (working) PS2 and get $100 towards the new PS2 (B&M only) @ EB

Today is the last day!!! When they scan in the games, they all come up at $10, no matter what it says on their restriction list. They gave me $10 for a Jampack that I paid $5 for over two years ago. I hope they come in next week, already been almost a week without.

I went to Apple Valley, but both Burnsville and the MoA said they were taking preorders. Not sure what part of town you are in, but print the offer from the link and bring it in for insurance. LINK: http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/ads/shops/instoretradein/

DEAD: Trade in your old (working) PS2 and get $100 towards the new PS2 (B&M only) @ EB

MonkeyK and coolred, you have to buy it on the spot, that means your old system has to be traded in which gives you a "Pre-Order" status. I was promised one by today, but it didn't happen. I hope that store was wrong about mid-November. Would also like to be playing GTA right now. The deal...

DEAD: Trade in your old (working) PS2 and get $100 towards the new PS2 (B&M only) @ EB

I was told that if I preordered I would have my new PS2 by today, Friday 10/29. All of the Minneapolis stores that were expecting them today did not get them. One of the stores said they had spoken to the Sony rep and they won't receive them until mid November. Nice, mine is traded in and...

DEAD: Trade in your old (working) PS2 and get $100 towards the new PS2 (B&M only) @ EB

I traded in the whole remote, sensor and remote (never used it). To get the full credit for the PS2 console you need a working console, the power cable, the composite video cable and one controller. Basically everything that came in the box when new. The controller does not have to be the...

Gibson, you could probably get screws at a hardware store, but the serial number is another story. It has to be working properly to trade it in and w/o a serial they could assume it's stolen, so I doubt they would take it. I actually waited in line for mine on the day they came out and have...

I can confirm in Minnesota. Traded in my old PS2, 3 controllers, 4 games, network adapter and DVD remote and got $165 towards the new PS2. Breakdown: PS2 console $100 (normally $70, but you get $30 extra towards new PS2) Controllers $5 ea. Games $10 ea. (any title, including classics...

Need Help w/Static Electricity

I guess I have started quite the discussion. I appreciate all of the advice and education you guys have provided. I now have another new mobo from Abit to install, which I am going to do tomorrow. The shock's that I received occurred by touching the case itself and not the I/O shield or...

Need Help w/Static Electricity

Thanks for the suggestions! Big Lar makes a good point, even if I had plastic standoffs, the I/O shield touches the metal parts of the mobo where the cables get plugged in. So there is still metal contact between the mobo and the case, right? Or is the I/O shield there for that reason, to...

Need Help w/Static Electricity

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a very good surge protector that actually has an audible alarm if the outlet is not grounded, so I am pretty sure it is. Could the power supply be bad? It works fine as far as power is concerned, but maybe the ground lead(s) to the motherboard are bad...

Serillel2 Converter performance

I am planning on using the Serillel2 Converter with my WD Special Edition IDE hard drive when I set up my system. What, if any, performance gains can I expect by doing so? Or is it just a way of using SATA with an IDE drive? I believe the only gain could be a faster transfer rate, but since...

Please help, display corrupted when booting up

I had something similar once. Do you have an LCD flat screen monitor? If so, the native resolution is 1024x768 (15 inch) and Windows boots in 800x600 or 640x480. Therefore, if your LCD monitor needs to be reset, it may not display those resolutions properly. If you do have an LCD, there...
