It looks like 2023 will be the year HiDPI comes to Windows! I’m excited! It’s taken way too long. As I make this thread, Samsung and Dell have announced HiDPI displays. Let’s use this thread to collect information on what else is coming now that the competition has begun. Dell UltraSharp 32 6K...

For my specific situation, I could really use a monitor with a quality webcam, mic(s), and speakers in the 27-32 inch range with at least 4K resolution. I am unfamiliar with what kind of connection you need to hook up a new Apple Studio Display to a Windows machine. My GPU is a Zotac RTX 2070...

A friend is getting a new PC for gaming and creative work (Photoshop, Zbrush, etc). Her budget is $1,200. She is computer savvy enough to switch out a hard drive or GPU but she is not an enthusiast. She needs this machine to work, no tinkering, and support and warranty would be a big plus...

After 8 years on my 2500K based system, I am finally pulling the trigger on an upgrade. That's the longest I've ever been on the same system. The 2500K sure was a good chip. I need advice on which CPU cooler to use for my new build. I like air cooling for its simplicity and reliability. Here is...

I'm shopping for my next build and need some [H]elp finding the right 120mm case fans. I intend to build in an InWin 101C case and need 6 x 120mm case fans. The case fans should ideally meet the following three requirements, and of course be high quality in general: 1. Ring LED (to match the...

As my SB build approaches, it's time for picking up a new keyboard and mouse. The combination that worked best for me among all my setups was a MS Natural KB and the Intellimouse Explorer. I used those back in 1999, playing mostly Counterstrike and Quake III, where it excelled. So I want to get...

Dear [H] forumers, I need some help with choosing the OS/Game drive for my upcoming Sandy Bridge build. Here's my dilemma: I've always liked speedy primary drives, as a consequence of which I have an unused Velociraptor (10K RPM WD drive) 60GB lying around. I'm trying to make up my mind if...

I want to drop $200ish on a nice upgrade for my B-Day. Current config: E5200 @ 2.5GHz GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L G.SKILL2 x 2GB DDR2 800 Xigmatek 120MM Copper Heatsink Asus Radeon 4830 Antec P100 Full Tower PC Power & Cooling 610W The CPU is a terrible overclocker, failing Prime95 in a few minutes...

Here's my setup: Gigabyte MB toslink (96K) -> Denon AVR-1804 -> 2 x RB51 Klipsch I'm very happy with the sound. And when I get new headphones (Senn 595 broke), Denon assured me that the receiver switches the main amp to the headphone port, properly driving everything up to 800 Ohm. For a...

After 10 years of faithful service, my Linksys BEFSR81 8-port switch/router is finally starting to flake out on me. It needs a hard reset every couple of days. It has a Netgear WPN802 (version 1) hooked up it to provide wireless access. I also have an unused Netgear WPN824. Frankly, both...

So my Velociraptor died Thursday and I took the plunge upgrading from XP to 7 RC. Here's the rub: My Gigabyte G31M has the Intel HD Audio bits, but my older case (Antec P180) has the AC '97 front panel header. I had connected them anyway, however "sensing" headphones never worked. Under XP all...
