    Warm.. New in box Gateway 10" netbook $129.99

    I thought the Atom in that netbook was a 32bit processor anyway. *edit* Apparently it is 64bit. http://ark.intel.com/products/58916/Intel-Atom-Processor-N2600-%281M-Cache-1_6-GHz%29

    HP L2201x 21.5" 1080p $80

    Are you sure you're even reading what I'm saying. When did I even remotely confuse the two metrics? Input lag and pixel response time for most MVA monitors ARE closely linked. To have low pixel response time with a VA monitor you typically need high pixel overdrive. To have high pixel...

    What the hell is wrong with you?

    HP L2201x 21.5" 1080p $80

    Ok you didn't even read what I stated. Most monitors now days are rated as "gaming" monitors if they have low input lag. Under 20ms is a pretty good starting place. MVA monitors almost never have low input lag because they require image processing for pixel overdrive. WIthout overdrive...

    HP L2201x 21.5" 1080p $80

    Psycho... He was asking a simple question, not demanding that it be the end all best gaming monitor ever conceived. These are MVA panels xellos, they're going to have higher input lag than compared with a TN panel. But you get better color accuracy, lower black levels and better viewing...

    Yamaha 5.1 Surround Speaker system $88 @ Fry's

    I highly doubt you ever listen to your receiver with it blasting 100W per channel. 100W in a house is RIDICULOUSLY loud, let alone 100W per speaker. Regardless of whether or not you do subject yourself to ear damaging levels of sound, your receiver doesn't output more than 75W at 8 ohm speaker...

    Worth replacing stock Q6600 heatsink?

    I would replace it simply because of how AWFUL Intel's heatsink mounting system is. Those plastic clips will fail eventually, they simply rot away.

    i7 930 Gold Pads not so Gold (underside of the cpu)

    It's just a little oxidation, Alcohol won't remove it. I would just leave the pads alone.

    [Hot] Dell 14z Ultrabook: i5-3317U + 6GB Ram + 500GB HD (+ SSD Cache) 4.2 lbs: $456

    1366x768 TN panel. This is NOT the XPS 14 Ultrabook. This is an older, cheaper model. Even then, the XPS 14 Ultrabook also does not have an IPS panel. It does not have a unibody construction.

    Pre-Order StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm $29.99

    It's an expansion, why would you even want to play this if you haven't played SC 2.

    Laptops and Notebooks with Panels not using PWM Flicker

    I honestly can't imagine not using PWM for dimming, especially in a laptop. PWM isn't the problem anyway, it's low frequency PWM that can cause flickering.

    No Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook with Discrete GPU?

    Aesthetics matter, you have to carry the thing around in public.

    Business class laptop suggestions?

    The only downside is the absolute garbage screens Lenovo is putting in those laptops. They're great if you like only seeing blacks as shades of grey.

    No Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook with Discrete GPU?

    I'm not talking about the lid closing, I'm talking about the edge of the laptop. http://cukimages.com/ebayproductpics/Sager_NP9150_front_angled.jpg Look in that picture you linked earlier along the edge of the laptop, see that line that runs all along the side where the palmrest panel and the...

    No Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook with Discrete GPU?

    Panel gaps, as in you can see a space between where two panels meet. Try looking for panel gaps on a Samsung Series 9 or a Macbook or Lenovo Thinkpad. Yes, I am suggesting that about a big laptop. They're no longer laptops at that point, so they do not serve any useful purpose to me. You...
