    Which monitor is best for viewing text

    If you just need larger text, then just increase the dpi on your screen. I set mines to 135% of normal and everything shows up in bold ~12 pt font - very easy on the eyes. Alternatively, you can increase the font size on your program or use your zoom controls. Also, get a monitor with good...

    The Ultimate Monitor

    Crazy setup. Useless unless you're in the broadcasting business. My perfect monitor: - 22" widescreen (anything bigger and you'll have to sit > 5ft away. Desks at most are 3ft deep.) - flat monitor <2" thick. - ~100% of the adobe color gamut. - full HD (1920x1200) resolution. -...

    new Samsung 2253BW! check it out!

    When are these manufacturers going to deliver a 22" monitor that actually performs better like full HD resolution, increased color gamut, or better viewing angles rather than throw on these worthless bells and whistles. *sigh*

    Converting an External to an Internal Drive

    So nobody knows for sure if the the external drives are the same as the internal ones being sold? Right now, there are a ton of deals on 500 gb external drives for ~$100, but none on internal. I would like to pick one up and convert it to internal if there are no differences/performance...

    Converting an External to an Internal Drive

    Does anyone have any experience with this. Reason I ask is because I can get a 750 GB external drive way cheaper than an internal. Do the hard drive makers use the same drives in both products? If not, what are the performance differences? Thanks.

    ErgoHuman Chair $509 shipped.

    Called Human solutions yesterday. Asked if they would price match OD because I wanted a fabric chair. The sales lady said it was impossible because $350 is below cost. Are you kidding me? Unless it is made of 24K solid gold, how could it possibly cost >$350 to make any chair??? I'm calling BS.

    ErgoHuman Chair $509 shipped.

    The 35% off only applies to OD branded chairs :( Also, coupon discounts cannot be stacked. Otherwise, I'd jump all over this.

    XG Vortec 600w ATX 12V AC Power Supply $9.99 Free Shipping

    Aw, that's messed up!. I bought this PSU 4 months ago for $50! And now your telling me the price has dropped 80%? Anyways, this PSU isn't all that great. The construction of the connectors (esp the SATA connectors) is very flimsy. The cables are too long for my liking. The fans are temp...

    8800 GTS OC ?

    Hi. I just purchased a EVGA 8800 640 mb GTS -- first Nvidia card ever. I would like to OC it but don't know if I need to get a different cooler/fan first. For those of you that OC'd your card, how far were you able to push it with the stock cooler? Please let me know. Thanks.

    [H]OT!! EVGA 8800 GTS 640 $309 AR ZZF

    Still, the SD card brings the price closer to $300, which is the lowest it has ever been. In my book, that's a relatively good price for a top tier card. I say 'relatively' because I know high end cards are generally overpiced (for example, I could buy a whole system for $300). But thats...

    Cleaning your LCD

    Hey, I just discovered a great way to clean your LCD. Thought I'd share with you guys here. If you have a small basketball pump, you can use it to blow the dust off your monitor and then wipe off your desk after your done. No dripping, no water stains, no scratches, no mess. Works just as...

    Beyond TV

    That sucks. I don't want to re-install XP just to get BTV to work properly. There must be some other way. Btw, the problem is definitely not CPU or hardware related because I have no issues watching & recording TV with the bundled Catalyst Media Center. Also, I've noticed that BTV...

    Beyond TV

    OK...I found the problem -- I have to manually enable the hardware de-interlacing in the BTV settings. When I did that, CPU usage dropped to 40% but the video was stuttering on all channels. Could this be the result of BTV simultaneously recording and displaying live video? If that is case...
