Display Decisions

Ran the search, read threads available, looking for a little more specific help before spending dollars. Viewsonic 17PS is crapping out. 19" FS A/Gs are cheap now (250.00 shipped for P95f+ or DP930SB). I'm open to doubling the cost for LCD but have not yet been able to see (vs read about)...

ears ringing

Able to sit in the same room with the new rig now without earplugs....ended up going with a TT silent boost. The extra 10 bucks makes a world of difference. 80mm fan at ~2450rpm moving around 27cfm. Idle & Load temps up 1 or 2 C, but dbs down from 43 to 21 (box specs, my highly cal'd ear...

appreciate the assist, hadn't thought to pull the fan and keep the HS. The combo is efficient but way too loud. Idle is at 34C, loading around 49. Will leave the copper HS on, pull the fan and look this weekend for a replacement (1/2 cfm/db), then compare temps. thx, TB2

Thanks. It's a 60x60x25 fan, 2BB, 12vdc, came with the ATT KCP-30. CPU temps have been nice and cool. Heat sink is 67x60x27. HS cut-out diameter nearly matches fan diameter.

new build, ECS K7-nf2-U400/2600+ stock, grabbed a copper HS/fan combo off the shelf (sure 'looked' good!). Haven't been able to hear right for two days now.....sucker moves ~40.1cfm, ~6800rpm, at *43*dbs. Caught it closing the door to the room twice. I see (now) it pays to pay check the...

XP Home - New Install Hang?

Quit last night, regroup today. New build (ECS N2U400-A, 2600+ Barton, 1GB DDR PC2700, 9800Pro128, WD120GB). POST, BIOS, mem, video, device-detect all good. BIOS checks show CPU temp good, cooling fan ok. VMI Pool data ver ok, first msg is "Boot from CD:" Enter gets: "setup is determining...

1st build. best vid card?

hey carterarce, same boat....It's a PITA trying to decide which $$ gate to stop at. Have checked the reviews/roundups, read the posts on the forums. Consensus seems to be to spend the extra for the 9800 pro. Though I'll probably go ahead and make the jump, providing this just in case it's...

T&L DX9 Video Card

Sheesh, it's like cracking code, but anandtech site (reviews, roundups, forums) are an immense help. So, Ti 4200 or 9600/128, or is it a wash? (i'm convinced to stay away from 9200, 5200, et al). Like a lot of other folks, trying to stay ~100 and milk 2-3 yrs to nextgen. 4200s are getting...
