    Again thanks for all the info. And as for trusting a bunch of strangers with where I'll spend my hard-earned dollars, any time you read any review it's written by a stranger but my approach to purchase research is the same for how I take my World/local News. From a wide variety of UNRELATED...

    I do realize that this thread has about run its course. But Geez, Poindexter, you really did Hi-Jack this thing. Thanks to the great info by Racer_J who never told me what to do but simply "educated" me I thank you for taking the time! This is obviously a topic you and PoindDexter...

    Well, I'd like a recommendation for a 24-27 inch LED for gaming if any one has one. Viewing angle is not a key concern. viewing distance is 2-3 feet. Response time and quality image are the main concerns. 300 is the budget. Not too sure which is the better interface. HDMI or DVI so I'm...

    So to me it looks like the IPS panel is better viewing angles and more vibrant colors. So far IPS gets my vote. The model you suggested, the VX2770SMH-LED has a 7ms response time. Am I incorrect in thinking that one would want a 2ms response time for fast action gaming? But an IPS panel...

    BF3, which I think is a pretty demanding game. Am I incorrect in thinking that a monitor that can deliver a great experience with this game will just about handle anything I can throw at it? (i5-3570K with an ASUS HD7850-DC2T-2GD5-V2) I think I will forget about the TV for now and go for a...

    Racer_J, I appreciate the response but you have just made the decision more difficult by spouting dense jargon that very few ppl understand at a glance. I'm not looking for a part time job here, just trying to buy a good gaming monitor and have already decided on that and am forgetting about a...

    2 feet. lol So it looks like the TV will be a separate purchase, which I'm OK with. Well I already have a 24 inch ViewSonic. (VA2448VM) Which on ViewSonic's site has a frequency of 50-75Hertz. and at 2-3 feet, a 24 or 27 inch monitor will be just fine. Is response time of 2ms what one...

    In a quandry here...

    I'm torn between a large screen LED or Plasma TV with the proper specs for gaming and use as a monitor or a 27 inch monitor which will be for gaming/productivity. I'd like to kill two birds with one stone and get about a 35-40 inch 1080P TV which is suited for gaming/TV watching and for use...

    My last home build was...

    Tsumi on the board here gave me a bit of a crash course is what to look for in a PSU and directed me to look mainly at the Ripple and Regulation of a PSU and ThermalTake ToughPower Cable Management has very good specs in this area, so I went with it!

    My last home build was...

    Back when AGP 8x was the big deal. :eek: So needless to say, I've been doing a fair bit of homework. I think I have a decent build going based upon my budget. But I also know that incorrect drivers and the other things can rear their ugly heads once one puts the thing together and boots...

    RAID 1 vs external Mirroring?

    I don't see how data can be retrieved/written from one HDD at the same speed as it will take for 2 HDD's. I call BS. With all due respect, prove me wrong.

    RAID 1 vs external Mirroring?

    Probably tons cheaper as well. Noice! External it is. I guess the hands off aspect of RAID was attractive.

    RAID 1 vs external Mirroring?

    I'll be doing productivity/Gaming @ 60/40 respectively. I need data security as my main concern but I don't want to sacrifice the performance for my gaming. I'm thinking about RAID 1 but it's a performance hit on the gaming I may not be willing to take. Is a viable alternative going with...
