Why didn't you just build it yourself? It's not hard, at all... :rolleyes:

I blame vista drivers:D

Correct, she can by the phone outright, aka retail price. The phones at retail price are pretty expensive though.

WTF

Nope, the article clearly states that it's the "Penrym"...

The thing that's jumping out to me is that 8800GTS > 2 7900GS for the same price.

Nice setup bone, I like it a lot :)

Snapped a pic :) I'll edit with a before and after when I get my new desk set up. And yeah I know I need to get some stuff for the walls. It's like that through my whole house >_>

That's generous, but really I wouldnt expect anybody to do anything like that.

Hmm, unless you can find me a different site then I'll eat the mark up. There's no Wal*mart within like a few hundred miles of me, and they don't sell it on their site. Also I looked at about 10 different major sites that sell office furniture, and I couldnt find it. I don't feel like looking...

Weird, I've been using that same folding table for my desk for the last few years. I got it at Walgreens :D I am currently looking for a new desk, but I'm being really picky about it. When I get my new desk I'll take a pic and post it. Also I love these workstation pic threads :) EDIT: After...

I know it's hard, but personally I'm gonna be patient and see what's up with CES. January can't come soon enough.

Dibs.

The w1 isn't that bad. It was likely a bad source, and the monitor was not calibrated.

Doubtful it supports high resolution over component. Try, VGA, DVI, HDMI...

1.2

Actually it does have a 6ms response time GtG. The FP241W has a 16ms MPRT though. 12 > 16 (lower is better)

Well said. I know about the BenQ, but I wanted 1:1 pixel mapping, which the BenQ doesn't do sadly. I will wait for a monitor with a few HDMI inputs, DVI, Component, and 1:1 pixel mapping. I think a westy 37w3 will keep me occupied until then.

It looks nice, but I think I'll get a Westy 37 and wait for a ~24" monitor with HDMI.

To me it doesn't seem like the PSU is powerful enough to power a 8800 GTS. Sometimes mine has trouble powering my 6800 GS when I have a flash drive plugged in and I'm gaming. Gives me a not enough power warning. /shrug

Ok, good luck to you then.

I'm assuming he means Best Buy and Circuit City.

Yeah, scew computers. I'm taking up knitting.

Boooooo! MX518 is good.

She doesn't like widescreen? :eek: Maybe it's time to get a new one. I wonder if you can get a new one at Newegg. :confused:

a little research goes a long way... ;)

Ordered my XPS2 the other day... Intel® Pentium® M 760 Processor (2GHz/533MHz FSB) 17 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen UXGA Display with TrueLife 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz 2 Dimm 256MB NVIDA® GeForce™ Go 6800 Ultra 60GB Hard Drive (have my own 60GB 7200RPM to swap) 8x CD/DVD...

I actually have one of those sitting around that i'm waiting on putting in my laptop. I get my mini on Saturday so I'm thinking of testing it in the mini.

that looks pretty damn easy... now i just need a putty knife. My Mac Mini just shipped today from Shenzen, China... :D Oh and I played that video in VLC (VideoLan)

This is my first Mac BTW... I went with 1.25GHz 256MB RAM 40GB HDD Combo Drive Bluetooth + Airport

damn, well it was worth a try. thanks anyway.

$50 shipped is just what i was looking for coincidentally

Well, there would be the stance of the average Apple fan. Buy something because it's more appealing to the eye, not because it has more features or is more cost effective.

Well you could just overclock by small increments and run benchmarks on loops while looking for artifacts and snow. If you really care about the temp. then buy a temp probe.

Hmm, you could have bought a monitor with the same panel and more features for less money. It's called the HP L2335...

I have the Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks Kind of a wierd name, but it's a good mouse!

Last December when I built my computer I bought Logitech z5300's for my computer audio. I eventually hooked them up to my Xbox to use them as a HT setup to play games and watch movies on my modded Xbox with a TOSLink cable via the S/PDIF input on my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum. That was my first HT...

676x451... what kind of messed up AR is that? Did you change your display to 16:9 in the Xbox dash, and check the settings in the game options as well?

Is it sold? I'm interested in purchasing it.

Exactly... One of the worst things about plasma is that the brightness is only 50% of what is was out of the box after approx. 20k-30k hours of use.
