    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    After about 15 years of loyal service, I retired my 21" CRT for a 30" HP LP3096. Before: After: Also built a new PC between pics. Yeah, yeah, I know about the wires.

    Do you think a 3007WFP-HC is my best option?

    Thanks for the info. I just remembered why I discounted the Samsung in the first place--no HDCP. That seemed to have the best picture quality among the reviews. But my LG Blu-ray/HD DVD drive doesn't like it. Too bad they don't have an updated model with that additional feature.

    Do you think a 3007WFP-HC is my best option?

    I'm still deciding between the Dell 3007WFP-HC, HP LP3065, and NEC LCD3090WQXi-BK. I have finally started to see some posts from users who have the NEC. While they seem positive, I haven't seen anything that makes me think I would really benefit from the added features/cost. Since am not a...

    Help with mobo for Q9450 overclock

    Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to go with the DFI. Now I guess I can look for some deals on the other parts while I wait for some Q9450s to become available.

    Help with mobo for Q9450 overclock

    I have read through many posts on similar subjects and I haven't been able to narrow down my mobo choices. I'm planning a new build with a Q9450 and I hope to get a 3.2 - 3.4Ghz. overclock. Plan so far: Intel Q9450 (when I can find one) Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme Scythe Scythe...

    Motherboard for multi-monitor setup

    Thanks for all the good input, folks. I'll probably shoot for a second card rather than onboard video. I'm just glad to know I don't have to look for two full bandwidth x16 slots.

    Motherboard for multi-monitor setup

    Maybe someone with a 3 or more monitor setup can help me. I am shopping for a new mobo and might want to have a 3 monitor setup in the future (large center flanked by smaller sides). I know I will need 2 video cards. Will I need a motherboard that has full x16 bandwidth on both the PCI-e...

    Do you think a 3007WFP-HC is my best option?

    Thanks for the input. I guess I will wait until I can get some input on the LCD3090WQXi-BK and then see if I feel it is worth the extra coin.

    Do you think a 3007WFP-HC is my best option?

    After 13 - 14 years, I am upgrading my Viewsonic 21" CRT. I am looking for a 30" monitor. I am not a gamer. I am a multi tasker so I constantly have many windows open and I am looking for more real estate. I do lots of picture and video stuff and I sometimes like to full screen a movie...

    Can a Western Digital Caviar GP 1TB handle this?

    Justintoxicated, is there a way to find the optimum size? What do you suggest? --Never mind, I realized that the max, 64k, is best for (only/mostly) large video files.

    Can a Western Digital Caviar GP 1TB handle this?

    Thanks for the info, folks. I guess the lower power, lower heat, and lower cost GP seems like a no brainer for my situation then.

    Does vid card performance matter for video only?

    Looking for an Nvidia 8-series video card for my HTPC. I do NO gaming but want to play any/all HD content. Aside from h.264 hardware acceleration, does GPU horsepower play any part in displaying 1080p and below content? I am outputting via DVI to a 60" 1080p plasma. As long as I choose a...

    Can a Western Digital Caviar GP 1TB handle this?

    I am looking to upgrade to a 1TB drive in my HTPC. I would like to use the Western Digital Caviar GP for its low power, heat and sound. I am just not sure if the lower (than other 1TB drives) performance numbers will have an impact. I currently have a Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 SATA drive...

    Network folder sharing problem

    Windows MCE is pretty much the same as XP Pro with some minor differences (ie. cannot join a domain). You can disable simple file sharing. I do have a security tab. It might have something to do with my RAID 0 (two SATA drives) configuration. I created a new folder in the root of my C:\...

    Network folder sharing problem

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I am using a workgroup. I meant I did not have a domain issue because I was not using a domain. Everything with my laptop using XP Pro is just fine. The problem is accessing folders on the C:\ drive of my Win MCE desktop. I can't even go into the...
