Hey folks, I need 3 PCI (NOT PCI-E) video cards that have functional Win 7 64 bit drivers. Looking to drop 'em into workstations to add extra monitors. Heat under the same as my forum name, pm me with what ya got; emphasis on dirt cheap

ah, thanks for the tip, wasn't aware of that. I almost wonder if you could use something like dry silicone spray to reduce resistance. Or a counter-top resurfacer (probably too expensive unless you had a lot of them to do). I've heard of some people using a high grade ceramic tile instead of a...

new teflon mouse feet would be my first suggestion. <$5 on ebay That's what I did with my g500 - made a huge difference. It won't fix your pad, but it may compensate by letting your mouse move more fluidly over the existing surfance for example: RantoPad Teflon Mousefeet for Razer Mamba /...

Hey folks, I'm attempting to install a new storage array (non primary/non windows) for media purposes on the JMB363 controller for the EVGA X58 SLI board. I set mode to raid in bios, and created the raid1 array in the controller interface prior to windows booting. However, Windows 7 x64 does...

props for the zip tied exhaust fan. haha. that's awesome p.s. - bump

coupon code was good for black friday only i take it? didn't seem to work for me. looks like a great chair for the price even at $150 tho.

that 25" is a good monitor if it's the re-branded hanns model I think it is. (someone else can confirm, but I'm 99% sure it's a clone of this: newegg link)

There actually is a model with DVI for $10 more. And the one with just the HDMI ports comes with a DVI -> HDMI cable so you can use it as you would a normal DVI connection. Here's the model with the DVI connector: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254052 It really is a...

by switching the aspect ratio, you end up with something more akin to a 25" - the difference isn't worth it. For example, I have that exact same samsung monitor, and I bought a hannspree 25.5 in 16:9, and it's the loss in screen real-estate compared to my samsung was dramatic. I personally...

best advice I can give you is pay for insurance. It's worth the extra few bucks it costs for that peace of mind against the random disgruntled hourly employee that just had a fight with his boss and decides to go ape on some packages. hehe But yah, short of that, best bet is something like...

I know this thread's a bit old, but in case the OP is still fishing for info, software dev is one of the things I use my setup for, and 1200 is the minimum I would consider "usable" for my left & right portrait units. In fact, I have a 1080 model that's about to go back to the store because of...

I'll add my plug for the fight against large monitors in 1920x1080. I didn't think those extra lines of resolution would really make that big of a difference, but when I stacked a hannspree hf255 25.5" (1920x1080) up against my samsung 2443bwt 24" (1920x1200), the loss of screen real-estate was...

not sure how [H]ot it is, but I just grabbed an EVGA e758-A1 from tigerdirect/circuitcity for $222. $279.99 minus $30.00 rebate through EVGA + 10% bcb + free ship = $221.99 rebate details are here: http://static.tigerdirect.com/rebates/EGA-7286.pdf hopefully they're good at honoring them...

Yeah, I'm looking at that one now as well, though the pcie slot speed is a marginal concern, even tho I know benchmark wise, the difference from 16x to 8x isn't all that much, I figure if I'm setting up sli/xfire period, I may as well go whole hog. 'course that's looking like it means a price...
