    Ratpadz XT

    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...

    Ratpadz XT

    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 /...

    Raid1 on EVGA X58 SLI Problem

    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...

    MicroCtr 1920x1080 monitor 21=$99.99,23=129.99,25=149.99. 2x2GB DDR3=$40. NO MIRS

    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)

    24" 16:10, wanna change with 27" 16:9

    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...

    24" 16:10, wanna change with 27" 16:9

    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...

    Advice on shipping a NIB LCD TV

    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...

    Much difference between 1920x1200 and 1920x1080?

    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...

    Advice: 3 Asus 27" LED or 1 HP ZR30W?

    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...

    sli/crossfire support on x58

    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...
