    New NEC 20WMGX2!!! (Pics inside 56K)

    Ok, when I ordered yesterday, for some reason the all silver one didn't show up, which is the one that was lower in price. I changed my order today and with 3 day shipping it was 658. I was told I would have it at the lastest by next Tuesday so I will let you know how it goes. As far as their...

    New NEC 20WMGX2!!! (Pics inside 56K)

    The speakers depend on the model you buy; one version comes with speakers, one without, but the screen is the same.

    Looking at gaming laptops

    Well, I'm not sure what you guys do to your laptops that causes them to not play games anymore after a year and a half, but my Hypersonic with 9700pro that I bought two years ago still plays whatever games I want (including Doom 3). Hostile also never said anything about giving up his regular...

    You have to buy the one that comes from Amazon to get the rebate. If you buy from one of the other stores, through Amazon, you won't get the rebate. sarge

    crts what was coming before the end?

    I think we would have just seen prices come down as they improved manufacturing processes. The image quality was about as good as it could get, but for that quality, you had to pay a hefty price for a large screen (on top of the fact it was, literally, hefty). Just my speculations ;) sarge

    LCD for gaming?

    If you go to Froogle and type in "21" crt" I actually found quite a few places that still carry some good monitors (non-aperature grill though). I am returning to Arizona when I get out of here, so I will probably drive up to azatech and check out their refurbs. If I don't find anything I...

    LCD for gaming?

    I was on outpost.com and saw they had a refurb Dell aperature grill trinitron 21" monitor and I got excited for about 7 seconds until I saw that it is "currently unavailable". I have read a few of the horror stories here too, but I figure Fry's should be pretty good for refurbs. sarge

    LCD for gaming?

    Thanks for posting that Fuzzy, it's nice to see an honest response on monitors once in a while. I'm not against LCDs (I'm still deciding what kind of monitor to get for my new system), but I often lament the fact that no one really makes good CRTs anymore; you just can't beat the clarity. It's...

    best gaming laptop for $3,000?

    If your friend is still looking, I would also look at the PowerPro laptops at powernotebook.com and hypersonic-pc.com. PowerPro laptops use the same base as either the Asus or Sager notebooks and have a 3yr warranty, and Hypersonic uses the same base laptops as Sager, and generally offer a...

    Laptop Recommendation (guidlines inside)

    Gentlemen, I currently have a Hypersonic Laptop; it kicks butt, but it's way too big (17"WS desktop replacement). I'm looking for a good, sturdy laptop (it will be traveling) that I can game on in the $1500-$1700 range. I have already configured a pretty nice set-up at Hypersonic to replace...
