My extreme LCD gaming monitor

If you feel comfortable removing the motherboard, I think you could handle the rest. It's not too hard.

BTW - if I crank the fan up to full speed (1900RPM) I can run the CPU stable at 3.85GHz with 1.575V. I prefer not to push it that hard (and the fan is a bit noisy at full tilt) in the interest of longevity, at 3.6GHz it only needs 1.45V.

That is a decent wiring job for a P182.

Yeah, but it's an amazing wiring job for the P180b

Is there a CPU fan somewhere under the makeshift ductwork? Or did you rig for passive and are using the rear and top 120mm fans to pull air through cooler?

Don't want to stray from OP topic, but if you've got a Q6600@3.6 passive, I'd be curious what setting your 120mm fans are on.

You are correct, but in that config, I was only at 3.2GHz.

Check out the photos from six posts up, and you'll see my current config which is stable up to 3.85GHz.

Would this cable be the one I would need to hook this up to my computer?

I had a 37" Westy for about a month and found it a little too big. My dad, however, loved it when he came over and saw it, so he paid me for it. I'm pretty sure I gave him the cable too, so I would need a new one.

From everything I have read, this Sharp looks to be absolutely perfect for my needs (where the Westy fell a tad bit short in some areas for me).

That cable is similar to the one I use. I paid about $12 for a Link Depot branded one from newegg. Interesting opinion on the Westy, it seems to me that many people still prefer it...maybe it's just because they are bias? Good luck!

Very nice LCD. Thanks for the post.

Quick question miahallen, when you're playing PC games, do you have to play it at 1920x1080 or can you lower the resolution without the image turning blurry?

It's not gonna damage your eyes. An LCD is dim compared to even diffuse reflection of the sun from concrete or grass or whatever.

This screen does 1:1 right?
