    Seagate Archive drives

    I was considering picking up a few of the 8tb drives last week when they were 235 each. I wanted to use one in my machine to store all the video and backups, and run one externally once a month to run a backup of that drive. Reviews are minimal so far and it looks like most of the complaints...

    ASUS VG278H - The weirdest backlight bleeding I ever saw

    The VESA issue had me going because of Newegg. I still don't get why they would bundle a useless monitor mount with a monitor you can't remove the base of :rolleyes: I had not even considered the matte finish. That's actually more important to me than the 3D right now. Short of putting up...

    ASUS VG278H - The weirdest backlight bleeding I ever saw

    I was looking at the Samsung as well... I was drawn to the ASUS because of the brightness for 3D viewing and how sweet the 120 in 2D was according to the reviews. Everyone seemed to be very impressed with the performance up until the 3rd-4th day when the oval of doom shows up. Honestly I...

    ASUS VG278H - The weirdest backlight bleeding I ever saw

    Well it has been a few weeks now since ASUS started taking monitors to check into this problem. Has anyone who had this issue gotten a new working one? Should I assume by the lack of new posts that this is a dead issue now? Forum posts have all but died out most everywhere I check, which...

    ASUS VG278H - The weirdest backlight bleeding I ever saw

    Well it looks like ASUS has finally started to address the fact that there is an issue... I noticed in the reviews on newegg ASUS is actually leaving the following reply: Manufacturer Response: Dear Valued Customer, We sincerely apologize for the issue you are experiencing with this...

    ASUS VG278H - The weirdest backlight bleeding I ever saw

    Anyone with the bleeding issue had any contact with Asus on this? I checked the forums on their website and nobody there has gotten any answers on this yet... I saw that newegg had gotten them back in, and I had the cash set aside for this as of last week. I definitely don't want to pull the...

    Good Monitor for 1080p for xbox / PC games / multi-use? 24-27"

    The Planar monitor is pretty sweet. It also has great reviews at most places. I didnt see it on the deals page, but I saw it posted on bens that you can buy it at Dell for 210, so if you can pull the trigger right now I would jump on it. Someone should also consider posting it on the deals...

    Looking for an external drive that would survive being shipped all over the world

    I was looking to buy 2 external drives that would be 'rugged' enough to handle being shipped to my brother (army base in Afganistan) and back while he is deployed. Speed isnt really a factor, and his lappy has USB3/2 and eSATA. I need to keep him up to date on his TV shows. If I can get...

    Another build thread

    So I put off the final decision on this build until today. Not so bright, but due to issues at work I just didnt have the time to settle on anything. I took a look at everything again this morning and I am ready to pull the trigger tonight. I did have a few little changes and a question to...

    Another build thread

    Cool beans, thanks! The information about the GPU is interesting as well. I was hesitant to stay with a DX10 part when I have the cash now to grab a DX11 part. I am not normally one to buy new cards every other year and I want to make sure whatever I use for this build is it for the next 2-3...

    Another build thread

    I know I overbudgeted. I wanted to make sure there was enough to make sure that I would be able to cover any oddball ideas people might have :p I also figured I would use the overflow to get the things I know I am forgetting, such as an H50 cooler. I wanted to leave the possibility open for...

    Having a hard time pulling the trigger

    Well hell... That kills my day all together. No way am I going to downsize my display past a 30 inch. I just checked the glasses site and there are some TVs that do it now, but they start at 60 inch and the price tags are a definite kill switch. Thats what I get for not reading up on them...

    Having a hard time pulling the trigger

    I have a Westinghouse 42 inch LCD I have been using for a few years now for my main display. I have been reading up on the NVIDIA 3d goggles and after seeing a demo I am pretty well hooked on them. I was looking at some of the new LCD TVs out there and the only real requirement is 120Hz. The...
