    X58 luddite : Hot rodded Dell 730x owners, looking for the A11b bios! Reward offered.

    It's a romantic thing. Otherwise I'd just go with something a lot more stout and VFIO since its atx. Which reminds me I should probably post this on Vogons as well. Way too new for most of those guys, but a lot of hard core hardware guys.

    X58 luddite : Hot rodded Dell 730x owners, looking for the A11b bios! Reward offered.

    The Area 51 ALX, bios A11. Basically so far as I understand it's that bios, swapping the alienhead at boot with an XPS logo and then swapping back to Dell's 1.0.0.6 in the portion for power control management, since the Area 51 had a custom power button routine to let it "pulse" when in...

    Technically just to edeepthroat. So you get your epeen out, and I'll go all the way down. Once. Up to you to edge yourself before hand. But again, bios also required, won't take payment after.

    X58 luddite : Hot rodded Dell 730x owners, looking for the A11b bios! Reward offered.

    So ALL of the sites I've seen with this bios are GONE. For those that aren't in the know, it's a cross flash of the Alienware bios for a Dell board (same board, two feature sets from Dell, classy). The bios includes the microcode for increasing ram from 6-24gb and allowing the use of Xeons and...

    Question for the CRT gods

    What do I use for that? I saw mentions of WinDAS, but that seams to be a trinitron thing.

    Question for the CRT gods

    So I have two beautiful large LCDs but I got all nostalgic when I saw a Lacie Blue IV 22" pop up. I snagged it and finally got it running and the whites are just insanely dull. The screen looks dull. I'm not sure if I forgot how CRTs where or what. But my LG\Korean LCDs have blindingly clear...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Question for the CRT gods. Just picked up a Lacie Blue IV 22" and the colors seem dull, I can't get the intense white that I can get with my LG34 or Korean 27. Not sure if this is a limitation of the fact that the CRT has 110-150nit vs my LCD's 300nit. Whites look very dull. On my LCD they...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    Also reading back a couple pages there might be some interest in GFX cards. I'm running a GTX660. I've got the LG on DP and the Korean on DVI. I will be connecting the 39 to HDMI. Nvidia has some really nice support info on this stuff for each card on their webpage. This was one of the more...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    Just picked this up as my new daily monitor. It's a very nice monitor and to be honest my first though was "I've made a very large... and wide... mistake." When you open up firefox or facebook the first time on this thing. It is LAUGHABLE how large it is. I bought this as a productivity...

    Supporting 3 dual link DVI-D monitors, two for gaming.

    What about this bad boy? http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-Dual-Link-Graphics-04G-P4-2673-KR/dp/B007Z3HZLM/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1358822377&sr=1-1&keywords=gtx680

    Supporting 3 dual link DVI-D monitors, two for gaming.

    So now that I've got my office multimonitor setup taken care of, I'm still trying to get home taken care of. I've got 2 ZR30Ws coming and have a VG278H here already. The VG278H is absolutely terrible as a desktop monitor. However I'm a twitch shooter kind of guy and want to on occasion take...

    7680x1440 - Cheapest way to do it? Not for gaming.

    I'm seeing the PowerGo 5450 for $28.99. Can I run 3 of these since they have dual link support up to 1600P? Then software controls the rest?

    7680x1440 - Cheapest way to do it? Not for gaming.

    The monitor I'm looking at is DVI-D only (most of them are), so for 1440P I think I would need that $130 adapter unless I'm looking at this wrong. Should I just be looking at one dual monitor DVI-D and a single DVI-D card and having software handle the rest? Or 3 DVI-D cards? I guess I don't...

    7680x1440 - Cheapest way to do it? Not for gaming.

    I have not been able to find the solution to this question. I have a power user machine I'm putting together that will mostly be a productivity desktop machine. I'm wondering the cheapest way to drive 3 of the korean special 27s. It will see 0% game or movie time since its my office pc. It...

    First storage venture FAILED... wondering which is the best option for raid

    OK, let me see if I got this right, which if I am I think its a pretty slick idea. The virtual device would be the eSata enclosure attached to the WHS. So USE it as an eSata device with my laptop, and then at night hook it up to the WHS for nightly backups? That's a great idea. In the mean...

    First storage venture FAILED... wondering which is the best option for raid

    Also this is a n00b question for sure, but is it possible to connect TO a WHS with esata? Meaning can I connect to it by eSata from my laptop? I'm looking through piles of reviews here and it just seems like there is no such thing as a reliable raid enclosure... the only way to do it is to...

    First storage venture FAILED... wondering which is the best option for raid

    Hi guys, I've done a fair amount of searching and already made one purchase that has ended in failure. My initial desire was to get a consumer grade NAS to host backups of my laptop and also provide some spillover storage for my expanding need of sample based VSTs (virtual instruments). I...
