I ended up going with the LG 47CS570. It's similar to the LN5300 series, except that it's an older model with a 47" IPS screen and a CCFL backlight. As linked above.
I'm about to move into my first apartment, and am looking for a TV/monitor to use in the living room. I entertain guests frequently, so it is important to me to have something reasonably nice.
My current plan is to use a TV or monitor connected to my gaming rig (which will be in another room)...
I'm still using my 965... It works.
I would definitely not recommend buying one today, though. Once you're already dropping $250 total on a CPU and motherboard, you might as well spend an extra $50 and get a better processor.
But then again, it works. The 965 BE would probably meet your...
That would be some fast turnaround. At that rate, I'd much rather wait for the 2nd gen Surface.
A Temash Surface would be a pretty cool device too, especially if they manage to keep its dimensions and thermals similar to the Surface RT.
I upgraded from an MX Revo to the G700 about a year ago; it's absolutely stellar.
The G700 is shaped almost exactly like the MX Revolution (in the same ergonomic lineage as the MX1000 and Precision MX), but doesn't have the awkward alt-tab wheel on the side. Instead, it has four...
That would be pretty cool. The only issue is that I'd pretty much need to carry around two phones. Switching my number completely over to Google Voice would mean that my current phone would not work, so there would be no way to contact me whatsoever when I'm somewhere without Wi-Fi coverage...
What I'm looking for is a way to use this already-paid-for phone for $30-40 per month, or as little as possible. Trading it for a Verizon phone or similar would just lock me into a contract for $70+ per month, right?
Hello, I have a question concerning phone plans in the U.S.
One of my family members has offered to give me his HTC Evo 4G, which he uses on the Sprint network. I am currently part of an old Alltel "My Circle" family plan, which was grandfathered in by Verizon.
If I were to accept this...
You're proposing that all modern theories regarding Quantum Physics are part of a conspiracy to keep people in their place? Seriously?
And so the perpetrators of this conspiracy are... All Physicists and greater scientific organizations, unanimously agreeing to support fake Physics? Give...
Cool; at least we're getting somewhere. The next time this happens, I'll try installing my backup video card.
I am torn between hoping it's the video card because diagnosis would be easier, and hoping it's one of the other two components mentioned... Because replacing both the Motherboard...
I have already tested the RAM by doing exactly that; when this happens, it will not boot with any subset of the DIMMs installed.
Do PSU problems really manifest like that?
Sure.
I just now tried changing out the SATA leads; there was already a second cable hooked into the MB which I use for data recovery from time to time. I tried switching to that cable, and then tried switching back to the original cable, but plugged into a different port.
At no point...
Hello, and thanks for taking a minute to help understand this problem!
Incident:
My computer sometimes locks up, and must be powered down and restarted manually. This does not always occur when gaming. It has seemed to happen more on warm weekend afternoons, but that may be a coincidence...
I'm planning to buy one of these after work today:

The rest of the parts are to some extent dependent on one another, but an SSD is something I can purchase immediately and see a big improvement in everyday use. I'm somewhat wary of...
I typically play all or most of the AAA PC releases these days. Starcraft II is just an example. Also, I don't want to switch platforms just to make a sidegrade.
2x4GB + 2x2GB. Operating at 1.5 volts.
I've had my current case (a $30 "In Shin" that I settled on to make a budget work) for 6...
From Newegg:
PCI Express 3.0 x16 --- 2 (x16/0 or x8/x8)
PCI Express 2.0 x16 --- 1 @x4
That's where we were getting this from.
But you're right; PCI Express 2.0 cards work in 3.0 slots, so this is a non-issue.
I'll check on this when I get home, thanks.
Thanks again for...
The motherboard that Smoblikat linked definitely has the issue you mentioned, Durvelle. x8 speed would probably be fine, but at x4 I'd be losing performance.
Could I save money and resolve that issue by going with a Sandy Bridge processor and one of last year's chipsets for the motherboard?
Good work; that would bring the total to $610 plus the cost of a slot-loading DVD drive. I'd like to do better than that, but we'll see...
However, I have two immediate concerns here:
1. That motherboard is not a MicroATX board, so it would not fit in the case.
2. Is there a reason for...
Update: After reading all of the replies here, I have decided not to upgrade right now. It would be a relatively large expense, for little gain. Instead, I will be starting another thread to diagnose my computer's current issues.
My computer's chronic cooling issues are beginning to...
Not a big deal.
If enthusiasts don't buy Ivy Bridge processors this summer, or even if Intel gets few design wins... Everyone will still keep buying Sandy Bridge processors; it's not like the market is saturated yet.
Personally, I was planning to upgrade to Ivy Bridge this summer. If...
Global Foundries. It's not a good option, though... TSMC's issues would probably have to be waaay worse before either company would consider it. And then it would still take years.
Remember that CDProjekt upgraded all previously sold copies of The Witcher to Enhanced Edition for free when it came out. They've hinted at doing the same for The Witcher II. (The Enhanced Edition will be for PC too!) Why not wait and start your new playthrough after the upgrade?
Edit...
From what I understand...
A standard sequence of n bits has 2^n configurations, and can be in only one of those configurations at a time.
A standard sequence of n trits has 3^n configurations, and can be in only one of those configurations at a time.
A standard sequence of n qubits can...
You should definitely consider the FT03, even with its high price. Remember that it can fit full-length video cards, and provide adequate cooling for them.
Is there any way that you could modify your case at all to accomodate an 8.25" card in your PCI-express slot? The GTX 550 Ti is 8.25" long, and the 560 is around 8.5".
Below that point, you'd basically be looking at HTPC video cards.
Edit: The Radeon HD 7750 would fit. It's actually...
This is feasible. This is pretty easy to code by hand, and there are plenty of other tools that might do the work for you:
