This. The cheaper Korean panels are already ones that don't meet the requirements of the T1 vendors(Apple, HP, etc). You are basically getting an "off grade" of an "off grade" and it is going to be shit quality. If you are looking to go cheap then I would pony up the dough for one that...

All I told them was I was trying to buy this monitor after thinking about it and the coupon that said it expired on Febuary 2nd was no longer working. They asked for the coupon number and verified that I was set up the order over chat. I said yes and they gave me the quote. I also asked for...

I talked with their chat and they dropped 190$ off the price of the monitor, free 2 day shipping, and 0% for 9 months. Not the original deal but that one was too good to stay.

It is just me or are both coupons listed a couple pages back for the Dell monitor now dead? Only one worked earlier and I was about to pull the trigger and now I get nothing but the shipping and 60$ EPP.

The game is completely unplayable for me. I've crashed every single game for the last 5-8. Sometimes CTD and other times is the looping sound. I didn't crash a single time until I installed the patch they released.

I only played for an hour last night. I have some flickering textures(wood fences are the worst) with the latest drivers for my 680. I'm surprised how well the game runs. I was getting 35-60FPS at ultra/1440p. 55+ at "High". Sniper class is weird with the "zero" feature. It seems to...

I picked up one of these from a seller on Amazon. Took 5 days to arrive from korea and look just as good as my 1K Apple display.

I'm building another PC to replace my 2500K/GTX680 which doesn't need replacing but I need to retire my kids AMD/4870 blower/furnace. Damn thing heats the room like you wouldn't believe. I haven't touched the water cooling stuff in almost a decade and a couple hours reading has me even more...

Plex seems to be pretty damn good. Thanks for the suggestions. Now if they would stop bumping my closing date back!!

I wanted to stay with XBMC because it is what my wife, son, and wife's daughter are familiar with already. mySQL is to keep all the different installs of XBMC running off the same data. The last thing I want to deal with is some shows showing up on one box but not another because of whatever...

That looks interesting. How does the performance compare to an atom based box from a couple years ago? That thing drove me nuts.

I'm about to set up things in the new house and wanted to get some opinions. All rooms will have 1Gbit wired connections. 6 Rooms - Living, 3 Bedrooms, Dedicated HT, Office. The HT room will have a higher end i5 based shuttle box which I already have running now. The other rooms need a...

Any decent SSD is going to last longer than the PC you put it in.

If you decide to roll your own stuff be sure and have hot spares or r6. The rebuild time on 3TB drives is going to be massive. I don't even think there is an enterpise level 3TB drive so the chances of another failure during rebuild is high. IMHO 70TB is way beyond throwing together a...

Are you just watching movies in 3d? The 680 is about 300$ overkill for that.
