Awesome find, thanks. The only big question in my mind was input lag. If I read that right, it looks like about 30ms. Not great, but I wouldn't call it bad either. This is not a fast refresh monitor, and not really a top choice for gaming. Under those circumstances, so far it's looking good to me.

That's interesting. Can you explain why you think it's based on the 6500 and not the 7500 panel? You are probably right (I have no specific knowledge of this), I'm just curious about all the details. Unless this monitor tests out poorly, I think I will be getting one soon.

I have a bunch of older stuff I need to get rid of. All prices include shipping. Local pickup means local to 95123. Intel Core2 quad Q9550 SLB8V. Used for several years, never overclocked. $150 Intel Core2 duo E6750 SLA9V. Used for 1 year, never overclocked. $30 DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL LGA775...

If only there were an article to read which would answer this question ...

I'll never forget the bad batches of Ballistix DDR2 back in 2008. It was a large number; somewhere in the thousands I think. I was one unlucky user. That RAM not only went bad, it took out my entire motherboard with it. There was a whole raft of internet users who got burned by this. Fool me...

This was absolutely true as of a year ago. They probably have improved it since then. I know this because all the 3rd party reviewers commented on it as well. Makes sense, since I can't find any old reviews anymore (they have been supplanted by newer ones). Are you this much of an asshole...

Thanks a million times for the review. I saw this advertised on Steam, but I mistakenly skipped over looking at it until this review. Does anyone know if the game is community-enhanceable (mods)?

YUP. That's exactly what I was thinking. One hardware failure, and bam you pay for another account if you want your data.

I thought that licensing issues prevented a native ZFS port to Linux? Is this ZFS on fuse or what? EDIT: dammit should have read the presentation.

If you really want it to be bling, you could also try using a 3M vinyl wrap: http://www.aerotectfilms.com/Scotchprint-1080.html I actually plan on doing this in the future (after I buy a house) by building a custom MDF desk and finishing it with vinyl. :)

I use a program called doro PDF writer. It installs as a printer on your machine, so you can simply click Print on any program and it dumps the print job to a PDF file.

LOL, Activision just pissed of Anonymous. Not a bright long term maneuver methinks. http://www.examiner.com/article/anonymous-targets-activision-ceo-after-call-of-duty-insult Apologies if this was posted elsewhere, I didn't see any references to it here.

Are you set on using CUDA? OpenCL is a standard now, and is portable across many hardware implementations. Furthermore, ATI's hardware is better suited toward integer arithmetic (NVIDIA is horribly slow at integer math), so you might consider this if your application is non-FP. If I were...
