I have a pretty similar set up (E8500, EP45-UD3R, EVGA 260 core 216, WD Black 1TB drive) and run it with a Corsair 520HX. I'm not familiar with the OCZ PS you have. If for some reason its not up to it though I would recommend the Corsair 520HX. I run a few other hard drives and optical drives...
I've done lots of gaming with it and its always worked great. Typically the receiver sits on my desk only a few feet from the kb/mouse/mediapad. I can take the keyboard into another room 25+feet away and it still works through the walls though. As far as the signal dropping goes its never been...
I've been using a Logitech diNovo since they came out. For the most part I love it. Its nice and compact, and the media control buttons are nice. I don't like keyboards with a ton of extra buttons, and this one has just the right amount. The price is a little steep, but it has come down a bit...
/agree with the others.
I'm using a Corsair 520HX and running a GTX260 core 216. Its running great. Even if it turns out your current PS is not that great and you want/need to replace it you can get something in the 500 watt range as long as its a good quality one.
I always run at native so I never thought to check. By default it does not. I went through all the OSD options and the options in the forte manager (included software that allows you to change settings) and could not find any option to stop it from filling. I am able to do 1:1 by using my NVidia...
I just got a L227WTG a week or so ago. Was able to get it on sale at Best Buy for $260'something including tax. So you might check around and see if you can get one locally. Overall I am very happy with it. Its great for gaming. This is the first TN panel I have purchased and it did take some...
I rented and beat the second one last week on XBox. I will say it was as fun as if not somewhat better then the first one. Which is to say lots of fun.
Yep, you can do that. The adapters I have seen in the past go into either a 3.5" or 5.25" bay and you just stick the PCMCIA card you want to use into the card reader. I can't remember what interface they used though (probably IDE but I can't remember). It shouldn't be very hard to find one at...
They have a number of options to tweak the drive. You can actually increase and decrease the power of the laser among other things. There are options for slowing the speed down for less noise, lots of burning tweaks and info among other things. Having said that, if you don't do much burning (and...
I understand that its perfectly fast for you. But aren't all the 939 chips built to run PC3200 stock? I figure if you are buying new you should get memory that you can run at stock timings as opposed to running below spec.
Yep. The native bus speed of that CPU requires PC3200 to run at stock. So just get some good PC3200 value type RAM (Corsair, Kingston, Mushkin...you get the idea) and you are good to go. No need to get the pricey versions from those (Like the various types of XMS from Corsair).
And don't...
Thats just because they haven't bothered to make ones that do. Has nothing to do with PCI-E boards only supporting NVidia stuff. Its just like back when you could run Vodoo cards in SLI. They ran on PCI. But PCI wasn't specific to them. They just happened to be the people that designed a video...
This could make a big difference depending on what your system bus is at. For instance if you have a P4 with an 800mhz bus, you would want PC3200. That all deals with stock stuff though. If your stock bus just requires PC2700, by all means run that if you don't plan to OC. Assuming everything is...
Not at all, you can run seperate resolutions on each display. For instance I am still working on getting rid of the last of my CRTs but in the meantime my main display (19" LCD) is at 1280x1024 and the 19" CRT secondary monitor is at 1280x960.
Yeah, I don't think I could stand two for games with that dead space. However, when it comes to working and doing desktop stuff two or more are extremely nice! I would hate to have only one at this point.
A good place to start looking is the MS site. They have a bunch of info on them and can direct you to testing centers. For a help desk gig I don't think you would need an MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer). But I think they phased out the MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional).
As...
There is no difference. Both Home and SmallBiz have the same retail price ($799). They both run sales pretty frequently so at any given time one of them usually has it for a little to a lot below retail. Its the exact same monitor though.
I totally understand. With the deals Dell has most of the time they are hard to resist. I almost bought a 2005fpw this week just because it was so cheap (around $580 including tax and shipping with a %30 off coupon). If both are at the full retail price (2001fp and vp201b both at $799 at Dell) I...
While they use the same panel the other components are not identical it seems. I have heard a number of people say they favor the Viewsonic. There was another guy that had both side by side and compared them recently. Search the forums (I am pretty sure it was in video).
I voted Viewsonic.
Well, as I mentioned earlier I just want to tinker abit with this case instead of getting a new one (which I'll be doing in awhile for another system anyways). I'll check into the Zalman video coolers and see if they have one that works with the AIW. Do you think they would be better then the...
Yeah, thats generally a software sort of thing. If you were more specific as to why you want it (details on the program you are trying to apply this to or whatever) then it would probably be easier to point you in the right direction.
I would recommend Canon as well. I looked pretty hard at an Elph (S410) and Powershots (S50 and S60) before I went with Olympus. Based on reviews and what some friends that own them have said they are all great cameras. I ended up going with Olympus because they also had great things said about...
I would get the 74. I got a 36 when they came out and am just now getting ready to get a 74. I only use it for the OS and games for the most part (I have a 200gig sata for storage), but its getting pretty full.
I wouldn't bother with the RAID. For almost all desktop users its not going to...
You and I are typical of all the people that I actually know have owned a nice large CRT and then switched to a nice LCD. Out of the people I know personally every single one thought the LCD was superior. And most of the people I have seen talk about it on the net are the same way. This mainly...
Ouch. While I was sure sub $1000 was never going to happen I was thinking more like $1500-$2200 or so. Of course its pretty new so prices will probably drop some in not too long. Unless it has much better quality (which is possible) its probably going to need to be in the $1600-$2000 range to...
Yeah, thats what I thought. The two loudest things I have right now in order are the CPU fan and the AIW's fan. I figure taming them down is a good start.
Well, we will just have to disagree on that. Having owned multiple nice CRTs (The Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2040u and Sony G520p among them) over the years I can tell you for sure that my 192t looks better. And I have spent lots of time with all of them.
