Thanks a lot for continuing to look, because I am still confused. Links to the laptops are appreciated :)

I'd like to buy my sister a laptop, and was hoping someone had some good ideas on where to get a cheap one. She doesn't play games or anything, so will most likely just use it for school, email, and internet...although id like it to have a dvd burner. I was hoping ~500 and looked on dell's...

ya im powered up. dont know what the deal is

The monitor is beautiful, but I actually have this same exact issue. Anyone come up with what setting I need to tweak?

Just an fyi for anyone that doesn't already know - I had a lot of gift cards, credits, etc at bestbuy who are selling this monitor at $549 so I just took a screenshot of the $499 circuit city price and walked into customer service with it. They price match on the spot as long as there is a...

I really appreciate the info. Although I think I originally had a 8800gtx and someone said to me - why get that? 2 8800gt in sli is the same price and better. Any other information is appreciated.

The last time I think I posted on these forums was when I built my last pc. You guys were all great then, and its been four years so its time for an upgrade and I figured I'd seek help once again. I just don't have the time to build this one myself, but have the following configuration and...
