If you think that I made your point with my last post, then you don't understand what you just read. Perhaps if I repeat it in more simple terms you will understand. 1. Any keyboard that has cherry keyswitches but does not have a rubber membrane layer to cover the switches will be susceptible...

Your 60 dollar eclipse is a piece of shit. It's laughable to claim that piece of garbage is a 'backlit' keyboard with it's pathetic attempt at backlighting that lights between the keys instead of through them, and comparing it to a deck is comical since all your shitty fucking keys lettering...

Saw this thread today, thought i'd chime into an obviously ancient thread. My Deck Legend Fire is now at least 10 years old; i'm not sure exactly when I bought it, but it was some time over 9 years ago. And I've used it every single day since I bought it. It's still running great, with no...

UnkleVito, if you could provide some insight, I would appreciate it. I have an A7217A that has started acting a little strange when it is cold. When the monitor has just been turned on, there are two things: 1. The monitor's convergence seems off - items are blurry. It takes 2-3 minutes...

Just noticed your post. FYI, NVidia had to basically re-write nView entirely for Windows 7; when they did this, they also made it a Quadro only feature. I run a Quadro video card at work for this very reason; nView is a HUGE (i can't stress it enough) productivity booster. While this news...

House wiring is A/C - that is not the same as DC current and heats differently due to the cycling. There is a very good reason why we use A/C for transmission of power across long distances, but D/C for short power runs. Wire ratings are quite arbitrary anyway; the length of the wire has as...

It's important to remember that just about all fw900's you find these days are going in unknown condition :( Most will be heavily used and all are very old by now :( The luminance bleeding is an unforunate reality to some extent on crt's :(

I have 2 FW900; one of mine was horribly scratched up. It was only the coating on the screen too. It is VERY tough and quite thick - unless someone tried to stab through the glass with a knife or something equally sharp, the glass will be OK and the coating will be the problem. I pelled the...

LOL, yes, you should mention I drove 3 hours 1 direction for my first one - 3 hours totally out of town. Then 6.5 hours 1 direction for my second. Now this time 11-12 hours 1 direction if I can pick up two more. ;) I'm blessed - I mentioned I found a source for 2 more FW900 but that they...

For TF2, right click on the game in your steam library listing, and choose properties', then click ''set launch options" and enter: -refresh 100 Then set your res to 1680x1050 in game - you'll be at 1680x1050 @ 100hz. You can also do 1280x800 @ 130hz, just enter in -refresh 130 instead and...

Sitting in your closet? How sad :(

I've got A hacked edid and monitor .inf that will work with latest nvidia drivers to allow you higher resolutions/refresh frequencies - at least, I am running 260.99 and it works for these... PM me your e-mail address and I will e-mail them over. Some games still ignore these refresh rates and...

I'm skeptical that the ZR24W is a replacement for an FW900 running @ 140hz. Reviews show 30+ms of input lag on that panel.

What vid card are you using, jdof? I had to use a hacked EDID (it's in one of my posts above) and add custom resolutions to the nvidia control panel. Then some games I also had to add force-refresh options to in-game. I'm using a GTX260. Here's a link to my post containing my hacked EDID...

Ahhhh, I understand. Damn :( I don't have the WinDAS cable, or i'd make you a file right now. Sorry mang - somebody else here's gotta be along to help at some point though, several people here use winDAS, and the HP branded fw900 is the most popular one i've seen around.
