    PCPn 750w length of 8pin for EVGA X58

    I have that psu in an Antec 900 case (psu on bottom) with an Asus Rampage formula mb. The 8 pin is at the top of the Rampage too, and the cable wouldn't fit. It seemed a little thick to run it up to the connecter under the motherboard. If i recall correctly the length seemed iffy that way, so I...

    Which 2.0 Speakers to Choose?

    I have the Audioengine A5's and I love em. A bit more expensive than the highest you have listed at 349.00, but I'm pretty sure I paid 399.00 for mine, maybe that was with shipping. Anyway, they're nice )

    NEC LCD2690

    Just don't make my mistake and order from Provantage. I've been waiting one month now for my "special order" SV-II kit. They haven't answered my e-mails yet either (

    Just ordered the NEC 2490

    I ordered my 2690 from a place I had never heard of before, The Nerds.net. Silly ass name, but great service. Florida to Calif in one day with regular Fedex ground. I have one stuck or dead pixel, but I decided to just live with it, I rarely see it. I do love this monitor so )

    Just ordered the NEC 2490

    Well, I hope your special order from Provantage works out better than mine has. I was a little short on cash when I bought my 2690 from another vendor so I bought it without the SV-II kit. A couple weeks later I looked around and found the best price for the kit at Provantage. I ordered it on...

    NEC 2690 - Panel loose at the top two corners?

    Well, my 2690 does run a little warm, so it makes sense that there would be a bit of room for expansion. I just checked my panel and it has the same amount of looseness fully warmed up. Thanks for your imput 10e.

    NEC 2690 - Panel loose at the top two corners?

    Very strange, I hadn't touched the panel on my 2690, but I notice the same thing now. Both top corners push in a tiny bit, and also the entire top edge does the same thing. Both sides will push in starting from about 2 or 3 inches below the top. Like you I really love this monitor, even though...

    Is this a dead or stuck pixel? NEC 2490

    I'm trying to ignore it.........I really am. Don't think I realy know the difference between stuck and dead pixels, but I just noticed that mine looks greenish on a white background, black on darker backgrounds, and I can't see it at all when the background is black, like this forum page. Oh well.

    Is this a dead or stuck pixel? NEC 2490

    Well, I just got my 2690 today, hooked it up, and it has one dead pixel in the lower right corner about two inches in from bottom and right edge. Under a magnifying glass it looks like the whole pixel, and it's always black. I've had two other lcd monitors before,and this is the first time I've...

    Quick update: Gotta love newegg, ordered mine at 9:10 am on 8/12. Tracking said it would arrive on fri. 8/15 got home today (8/13) and saw a fedex note on my front door, so I ran up to the local office and picked it up )

    Ok,so.....who bit??? I got one.

    I checked Newegg this morning at about 8:30 (pst) and none showed. Decided to check one more time before leaving for work at 9:00. They were up, so I grabbed an HIS version. As someone else said earlier, I don't know what came over me, just couldn't help it. Checked newegg a few minutes ago...

    Clean install with Vista Upgrade - The foolproof approach

    Well, I think I screwed up. I haven't done much OS installing, or reformating, and I must have read the guide at least five times before I started. I got almost to the end of the initial install when the computer restarted to finish. It did and then I was prompted to hit any key to boot from CD...

    What are the best Speakers for under 400

    I have the Audioengine A5's and the Z-5500's. They are both very good for what they do. I use the 5500's for movies and gaming, and for listening to music I use the Audioengines. The A5's really surprised me with how good they sound even after reading all the reviews I could find.

    Auzentech X-Fi Prelude issue

    I'm having the same low volume issue with my prelude. Was just wondering if that's mainly a bug with the Auzentech drivers and Vista, or does it affect XP also. I'm running XP.
