    Dell U2312HM

    I currently have a U2711H and I was thinking of picking up a second monitor to use in portrait (coding, etc). Should I go for a U2311H or this model?

    PCI-E/GPU slot question

    Yeah, I'm thinking maybe it's solely for SLI since it still boots into windows. If not, then I guess it's a dead pci-e slot.

    PCI-E/GPU slot question

    Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth P67 GPU: Gigabyte GTX 460 Hey, I'm having a small issue with my motherboard and I'm not sure if it's just a design configuration or if a pci-e slot is dead. If I install my GPU into the first 16x pci-e slot my computer boots fine and I can obviously go...

    Title says it, can anyone recommend a monitor that works well (about the same size) as a u2711 when in portrait? I'm not sure if the u2211 would be good or not.

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    New guy here. I tried. The Antec 900 is pretty rough with cable management so when I got a new Seasonic PSU (old had cable whine) I drilled some holes and it helps a bunch. It will all be irrelevant soon though, as I'm hoping to get a corsair case and a new mobo + psu with Sandy Bridge...

    Is this coil whine?

    I installed a new PSU / SSD yesterday, and ever since the first boot this PSU has had a high-pitched whine that sounds like what you would expect a dog whistle to sound like. It's constant from power-on to power-off, and is hard to notice if you aren't listening for it. Once you hear it...

    Wiping question

    I just got a new Intel 120gb SSD to be used a primary boot/application drive while my old drive will be storage; and I was thinking that I would just start fresh over since I need to reinstall Windows anyway. My question is: Should I use DBAN on my old 1TB HDD or is there a more preferred...

    Choice of 120GB SSD's

    How dramatic is the performance difference between the C300 and Intel? Does that performance make a 64gig C300 more valuable than a 120gig Intel?
