Read my post, I shopped at Causeway Bay.

I did the same thing over the christmas. Upgraded to a 5000+ BE, my cpu temps is reading 10C (yes, 10C). I also bump the speed to 3GHz with 15X. I have another oddity, my computer now does not accept my password after the screensaver is on for a long time (maybe half a day?). If it is a...

I remember it was around HKD$180-HKD$240 for PC games and yes, they are legit. I used to shop in a nice building in Causeway Bay (HMV on the ground floor), not too many people shop there, I shop so much and one of the owner knows me :D But I forgot the name of the building...

I don't know if it is still true, but PC games (legal copies) are actually cheaper in HK, because all the you-know-what copies you can buy there. PC Gaming hardwares are sometimes cheaper in HK also, I once bought a CH Pro Throttle for less than CND$100 in Hong Kong. Camera memory are...

You will need an aftermarket HSF if you choose the 5000+ BE. I use the ninja, it is good, cheap and you can mount fans on any side of the heatsinks.

If you mostly gaming, Samsung 245B(W) is a good choice.

I just got 5000+ BE and I don't overclock too, but if my 5000+ BE wants to run 3Ghz at stock voltage, there is nothing I can do...

Ha, I was mistaking you and Volkum...it's not like you too look alike.... That's not an analogy. That's a misleading statement. People usually use completely different things for analogy... That's like saying driving a honda civic is as slow as pedaling a bike comparing to BMW M3...

Something we can agree on. And it goes both way. People doesn't know about panel type and some people thought they knows, they heard ISP is the best, they heard TN is crap, but that's all they know. As a potential buyer looking for a new LCD, he has to line up his needs to the strengths of...

Sorry, it was not you who commented about 256 colors, it was someone else. However, my point is. There are a lot of exaggerated negative, misleading comments about how much worse TN panel is. It is like comparing Porsche to Honda (or whatever), Yes Porsche is better, no one denying that...

Are you sure it's not the size you notice? I read alright, you said using a TN is as bad as using 256 color...

...it is hard not to notice the 2" different... I am a long time CRT user and finally change to a TN LCD (SM245B) this christmas. There are differences, but it is worse or better? I like the 5" different compare to my 19" CRT and the weight. I am extremely happy with my LCD so far. For most...

No, it is not. It is better than 256 color, heck, it is even better than 16-bit color. You are exaggerating. I just switch to SM245B from my LG CRT, the different in image quality is minimal for an normal user like me. Different type of panels have their strengths and weaknesses. As a user, we...

I have to agree with you guys. I just bought the 245BW over the christmas. So far, I am very happy with the monitor. As for viewing angle, since I am sitting in front of the monitor like most people, I do not have any issue with viewing angle.
