Yup, that's what I used, my old nexus phone which has a wide angle lens. I actually see more w/ my eyes, but only on that black. Normal monitor use nothing is a problem or bothersome.

Mine calibrated to 32 brightness / 73 contrast. Normal room is lights all off except for a low backlight behind monitors, and a fishtank light off to right side of room.

Distance? That's about 1.5 feet away, taken w/ wide-angle. They don't look anything like Dorian7's.

Here are my 3. I'm quite happy with them.

Very likely get replacements w/o working button sound--not a good track record on the sound: 2 out of my 3 the button sound doesn't work. Personally I don't care one bit... the sound is lame anyways. :)

No grainy here, xdanio. (U2415 x 3)

Won't work on me, I have e-mailing turned on on my account... unless they can also stop the bank from sending me e-mails every time a transaction happens.

Still haven't got any emails from them... And I was actually trying to use it during the outtage.

I have a new HP xw8400 workstation (2 x Xeon 5150, 2.66GHz), and the difference of temps between the cores under full load has reached over 25C! The 2nd core on each cpu was always much hotter, and even reached 83C at one point, where the other core was only in the 50s. Most of the time the...

Don't forget the 165 has dual 1MB cache compared to the X2's dual 512K. Depending on what you're doing, that cache may be worth it.

I also scored a CCBBE (but it's 0615EPMW) from Newegg last week. I'm up to 2.8GHz with minimal voltage increase. :D

Hmm, I wonder how new that is? I've seen the Opteron 165 for $150-$160 for a while now (that's why I bought one over a week ago... and btw, it's awesome!). If it's currently supposed to be $255, that's a huge bargain.

Well, my $159 dual core Opteron 165, stock 1.8GHz runs 100% stable at 2.8GHz... that's 1,000MHz overclock, and it is quick compared to my A64 (Venice) 3000+ which was at 2.4GHz. So I'd say these 165's are some of the best OC'ers from what I've seen. :)

...is that the 15.9" spec is (what I was expecting and hoping) the lowest height. I bought 2 of them, and they fit in the desk just fine.
