    Just got my GTX580 -- Purchasing triple monitor setup please advise

    Purchased a PC Power & Cooling 1kw power supply for my last rig. Pretty sure that would still be up to the task if I were to swap it out into the dell case.

    Just got my GTX580 -- Purchasing triple monitor setup please advise

    The issue with dual card setups is that I'm not sure if the motherboard is going to support SLI or Crossfire. The system DOES have two PCI X16 slots however, but it does me little good if it doesn't support what I need. To simplify my setup it I've been trying to stick to a single card...

    Just got my GTX580 -- Purchasing triple monitor setup please advise

    Okay cool guys thanks for the advice I was under the impression my 580 would be able to run three 24" displays. I will likely either return towards purchase of a 590 which should be able to do this or purchase an ATI equivalent to use eyefinity. Either way, as far as monitor recommendations...

    Just got my GTX580 -- Purchasing triple monitor setup please advise

    Okay guys, I was lucky enough to be gifted a new workstation (Dell Precision T7500 style) recently so I promptly went out and purchased a GTX580 to replace the terrible Quadro FX card it came with. Everything so far is running GREAT! Long story short I recently moved into a one bedroom...

    Comfy Computing

    Okay I wasn't quite sure which section to put this in.. So please move it if need be. I was wondering if anyone has or has ever had the urge to move a computer to a non-standard location in order to achieve maximum comfort, or if anyone has modded anything or replaced certain pieces of...

    Crashes, no signal, sound loop, manually reboot

    I have a radeon X1900XTX and Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme music. I had the SAME exact problem as well, i'd be playing any game (usually Anarchy Online) then all of the sudden the sound would loop and the screen would go black. It did it for months but I dident bother to care enough to fix it (was...

    how do you create a folder in terminal? Or, how do I hide my porn from others?

    You could also create a PGP archive, just remember to secure erase the extracted directory after you've uncompressed it to view its contents. My honest opinion is to go into disk utility and create a disk image and enable encryption, mount the image when you need it then unmount it when your done.

    Anyone try the MBP fan speed mod thing?

    I tried the fan speed mod on my 2.0ghz MacBook Pro. I remember falling asleep with it on the couch and litereally waking up sweating just because it was laying next to me. I use it now very comfortably. It doesnt seem to so much as cut down the surface temp right over the proc (above the...

    New 5.5G Video iPod, now including Viruses!

    That isn't quite true either. I'm sure its popularity has *somthing* to do with the fact that nearly every virus is programmed for it. But without every application running with administrative priveleges, such as the case with Unix and OS X, it tends to make things MORE difficult for malware...

    Special Apple event scheduled for September 12

    I really hope its a new iPod. I've been dying to update from my mini but I dislike the 5G video ones.. I dont want black.. or white.. or a 4:3 screen for watching video. I hope whatever new iPods they release they have available in multiple colors like the mini.. or at least... silver.. for...

    You could always move it somewhere else and set it up.. Kind of like a computer away from your main one. Thats what my MacBook Pro is doing right now.. sitting on my coffee table with an external display. Works good for when i'm tired and come home from work and dont feel like sitting at a...

    Question about Widescreen enabled video cards

    I ran my Dell 2405FPW on a Radeon 9800 Pro for awhile and it worked fine for anything desktop/movie wise on an AthlonXP 3200+ w/1GB Corsair XMS. I even did some gaming in CS:S with it (although not at native resolution.. it still really dident look bad). It was however able to play some...

    Mac Laptop gaming capabilities.

    I have an X1900XTX in my desktop but often find myself sitting on my couch with my MacBook Pro dual 2.0. I play Everquest 2, Guild Wars, Anarchy Online, and Dungeons and Dragons online. Its been working GREAT. I also have played CS:S, BloodRayne 2 (and one) as well as Hitman BloodMoney with...

    Art school notebook recommendation.

    Hrmm.. technically its both. With bootcamp your running windows 100% native. Its not emulation or anything. It really is both a PC and a Mac : - )
