    Good deal on these computers?

    On Craigslist two computers - Lenovo Thinkstation workstation PCs with Intel Xeon E3-1230 processor, 150 GB raptor drive, 16 GB DDR3 ECC RAM, and an Nvidia Quadro 600 graphics card. Both for $400.

    Dell T7500 workstation with Xeon E5645 and Quadro 4000

    Used computer I might buy locally. Older Xeon chip and chipset, but it is 6-core and can take two CPUs (although only one is installed). Also has NVidia Quadro 4000 card in it. All for $450. Good deal? Oh, and it has 20 GB RAM. Is this a pretty powerful setup? I will be using it for CAD and...

    Macbook Pro 13-inch Retina for $350?

    Well I bought it anyway. Been checking it out this morning. Everything seems fine. Not even a blemish or nick on it. Has 10.11 El Capitan. Granted I could never afford a Mac, until now. Love the screen.

    Macbook Pro 13-inch Retina for $350?

    Found one at the pawn shop yesterday. It was a late 2013 Macbook Pro, 13-inch screen, 2560 x 1600 display, Iris graphics, Intel Core i5 4th gen processor, 128 GB SSD. All for $350. I asked the guy if it was stolen. He said no they run the serial number through a database, and the local police...

    Question on the Dell M4600 temperatures

    Thank you for all the responses. I had a professional computer repair guy tell me the thermal paste needs to be refreshed. I did all I could do otherwise.

    Question on the Dell M4600 temperatures

    Yeah I think the temps are a little on the warm side as well. With the specs the M4600 has, such as the quad-core 2860QM and the 16 GB of RAM, I expect the performance to be screaming, not the fan. The lag is still there, but not as severe as before I changed the C-states. Still, too sluggish...

    1080p for a 32" monitor?

    I could definitely tell the 1440p 27" monitor that I just bought was better. Not in that I was looking for pixelation, but the image quality was much smoother over all. 1080p on a 32" was okay, not bad, can live with it, etc. But 1440p on a 27" - very sharp. I wouldn't mind 1440p on a 32" but...

    1080p for a 32" monitor?

    I sold the TV and bought an Acer K272HUL 27" 1440p IPS monitor from Microcenter. Much better.

    1080p for a 32" monitor?

    I'm using a 32" TV as a PC monitor. Is 1920 x 1080 too low a resolution for a monitor for you? I find it is barely acceptable, the pixel density is quite low. I have to sit further to get a decent image, otherwise sitting close gets me a bleh picture. But anyone here have this setup?

    Lenovo LT2452p 24" IPS monitor found at pawn shop

    Got it last night for $65 out the door. So far it looks pretty good. 1920 X 1200 resolution. How does it compare to the HP ZR2440w or Dell 1920 x 1200 monitors?

    How to access backlight hours usage on HP ZR30W

    So far this is a pretty awesome monitor. It's not slim like the new LED monitors, but I kinda like the older LCD panels. No PWM to worry about and good color reproduction.
