    27 or 30 for Photoshop

    I ultimately decided on a QNIX 2710. It seems to match my requirements and doesn't have any obvious showstopping problems (save Mac incompatibility without a dual-link DVI converter), though I've no illusions it's better than 'name' screens based on the same panel. I've had some color and...

    27 or 30 for Photoshop

    I'm looking to replace a Dell 2408WFP (PVA, aRGB) with a 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 screen for photo editing. Maybe two of them, though I'd ideally like one screen in sRGB and another in Adobe RGB. I've got that now with a 32" 1080p TV, but after a few months with a rMBP, the pixel density is...

    Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro worth it?

    Chaos, when you're acclimated to the Mac interface after a few days or a week, install BetterTouchTool. It'll let you create your own touch shortcuts. It also includes Windows Snap functionality. Eminence, coming from the graphics side, the non-Retina was never in contention for me. The...

    Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro worth it?

    I think it is. On a desktop with a mechanical keyboard and a decent mouse, you can make a strong argument for Windows. That's less true with mobile. The best Windows touchpad is just decent. The MBP touchpad is a revelation, particularly once you start adding your own custom gestures. It's...

    Nevermind, I pulled the model number from another post. It was the the PA249Q.

    24" for reading and work matte $200 max

    That Asus screen is literally over twice the price of the Dell. Almost every review of the later revisions of U2410 is complimentary, along with most professional reviews. I'm not sure what to make of it. Do all of those people have bad eyes? On gamut: my 2408 is wide-gamut and I have a...

    24" for reading and work matte $200 max

    With similar requirements, I've decided on a Dell U2410. They're about $200 refurbished with 30-day return and about as good as a 24" screen can be, save for contrast ratio. I've had a 2408WFP that's just now showing some age (a line of vertical yellow pixels that appears every blue moon for...

    Force spindown with ICH10R?

    I've got four 2TB drives in a RAID-0 on an Ivy Bridge system with an ICH10R controller. There's no trouble with drive detection on boot or in the Matrix Storage Manager. For whatever reason, the drives refuse to spin down. Windows 7 is set to turn them off after 30 minutes. They're holding...

    New Server: WHS 2011 or Server 2012 Essentials?

    Another downvote for Storage Spaces. I tried to break it in Windows 8 RTM. Within ten minutes, the OS was reporting results that didn't match the documentation. The parity modes also have terribly slow write performance. You can pick up last-gen RAID-5/6 controllers for under $150. That's...

    Adaptec OCE problem

    Rebooted again. Now the controller reports the 8th drive (the one that just had 2TB of 0s written to it) as failed. The array is now larger, so I guess I've got a regular degraded array. Re-adding the 8th drive will probably fix it. EDIT: And did fix it. Rebuild took 6 hours. TL;DR...
