Just this week I have been experiencing a problem logging in to AIM. - While logging in, my connection window hangs at step 2. Verifying name & password. - After a minute or so I get the error message "Connection lost. Check your internet connection." - My internet connection seems to be...

wireless internet troubles

I just moved into a new place with a Linksys BEFW11S4 (standard wireless B router) which is about 20-25 feet away from my room. I have a laptop with a Netgear WG511 (notebook wireless G adapter) that can connect to this router with (almost) no problems. It usually takes about 2 minutes to...

Any commments on owners of the ACER 1912B LCD?

I also would like to know what owners of this monitor think comparatively. From the reviews I've read so far, it seems like a great deal for the size and response time. No DVI, but for ~ $300.00 one can't be too picky...

So who's playing World of Warcraft?

Not that hard or sad really... I spend an average 8-10 hours a day in front of a computer every weekday for work. That's not counting the other 2-3 hours I may spend gaming/filesharing/e-mailing/etc. Although I'm sure this is meant to be taken with a hint of sarcasm coming from someone with...

HOT Dell LCD deals 2001fp $679, 1901fp $495 w/free shipping

The 2001FP is AMAZING! Great for gaming and movies and worth every penny of the $674 IMO. Bought mine new for $700 a few months ago and I am very happy with it. - curtyv

HOT! Dell 2001FP 20.1" LCD w/16ms Response for $689.20 Shipped, 8/25

Once you get used to 1600x1200 it's hard to go back, especially if you appreciate the benefit of extra desktop "real estate" like myself. I've been using the 2001FP analog (d-sub/vga) input at this resolution for about a month now and I love it. However, the small fonts took a little getting...

Radeon 9800 Pro AIW

I'm planning on buying an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro All-In-Wonder. I read some reviews that say this card is a real power hog. I'll be running it off a 350w power supply with 2 optical drives, 2 hard drives and about 5 fans total (including cpu and power supply fan.) I will also be hooking up a VGA...

Logitech z2200 speakers $62 AR

True, very true. the Z2200's seem really nice, but mail in rebates are kind of annoying IMO. As far as performance is concerned, the only factor backing me off the Logitech speakers is some accounts of the subwoofer being very overpowering, which is no big deal knowing that I can control the...

Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" LCD - $719.25 Shipped at Dell

Test it out at night with the lights out and get an all black display. Dead pixel test black screen, or even your BIOS/CMOS post screen will let you see it for a second or so. Look near the edges of the screen, mostly in the corners, you shouldn't have to look too closely if the room is dark...

You sure about that? 2001FP on Dell Home It's currently showing me $899. If anyone was successful getting a pricematch, have any pointers? Dealing with Dell when I ordered this monitor was a nightmare and a half.

Why exactly do you suggest this? I'm curious because I'll be using analog at first, but DVI once I have enough budgeted for a new video card.

Dell 2001FP $599 with purchase of Dimension 8400

update on the 2001FP. Someone else convinced my boss that a computer through Cyberpowerpc.com would be a better purchase. Their reviews on epinions and even in the BBB are fairly negative, any thoughts? Dude! he cancelled the Dell! doh!

Dell 2001FP (20.1 LCD) - $769.20 shipped

Further proving the 2001fp may only have a 25ms response time? Have we all been duped? Or is it just a typo? I'm just playing devil's advocate here, I'm surely hoping for the latter.

ok, so this may seem like a stupid question, but I'm a bit confused... Originally, I saw the 2001FP has a 16ms response time, I read this in reviews, and remember it particularly being cited in this forum. However, when I look here the tech specs say the response time is 25ms wtf?? Anyway...
