    Upgrade from 4850

    Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading my video card for BF3, but I'm not sure what's the latest and greatest. I am currently doing research on the issue, and I thought I'd ask you guys for opinions while I find out what Newegg and Amazon are carrying :) My budget is about $220, and the rest...

    Ratpadz XT

    Oh, one more thing, Logitech sells mouse feet replacements for $2 a piece. I bought 10 packs and split them with a friend to save on shipping.

    Ratpadz XT

    That's the first thing I did. It helped a little bit, but not enough. The new pad I got actually made a huge difference, but now the mouse pad wearing out again as well :/

    Ratpadz XT

    I'm also interested in this. I talked to the company and they gave me a discount for a new one, so I bought another mouse pad. I'd love to fix my old one, though!

    Why is my hard drive smaller than the advertised capacity?

    That's not entirely true. The SI system existed long before this was an issue. Then memory started getting measured with powers of 2. It later became an issue as having different definitions for a prefix led to confusion. This was dealt with in 1995 when the IEC decided that SI prefixes should...

    Why is my hard drive smaller than the advertised capacity?

    They're not stealing anything from you because you KNOW that 1 GB != 1 GiB. The only people at fault are the ones who decided early in OS development that 1 KB ~= 1 KiB, and stuck with it as it's easier to code.

    Why is my hard drive smaller than the advertised capacity?

    As annoying as it is, it's not false advertisement and it shouldn't be illegal. Hard drive manufacturers are using SI/metric prefixes, while operating system designers are using the binary equivalents.

    Wavey picture (advanced issue?)

    Sorry I couldn't reply earlier. I was too busy USING MY FIXED MONITOR! :) Took me about an hour to take it apart, but after that, it took me 15 minutes to replace a few capacitors and now the thing is working great. Too bad the fix didn't turn it into a 30" panel, but oh well :)

    Wavey picture (advanced issue?)

    It's definitely an LCD. I won't be able to take pictures right now, though, because I'm half-way through taking it apart :) On the other hand, I got lucky after searching for "LCD monitor repair" and finding some guy with the exact SAME issue on the exact SAME monitor. Turns out the capacitors...

    Wavey picture (advanced issue?)

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for someone with some experience fixing monitors. I have this old 19" monitor that started displaying horizontal waves on the image. It does it with both DVI and VGA, so it's not an analog cable interference issue (but it sure looks like one). I eliminated any...

    Monitor dying on me :(

    Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I completely forgot I had posted here :( I took apart my monitor, and I noticed that a whole bunch of 1000mF capacitors were bad. I already ordered new ones from digikey and I'm waiting for them to arrive. I will post here once I attempt the fix just so that we can...

    Asus VE278Q

    Just got this monitor and I love how big it is compared to my old 22" monitor! What kind of settings are you guys using for brightness/contrast and color temp? Right now I'm using 60/80 and normal. Also, what's the best way to calibrate a monitor without spending money on calibrating...

    Monitor dying on me :(

    Hi guys, I've an LG L226WT monitor that seems to be dying on me. During the past few days, every time the monitor goes into standby or is turned off, when it's turned back on, it's filled with a white screen. I already made sure it wasn't my computer. So far, the only way to fix it is by...
