    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    The site in question I visited for the Banding video I captured was http://www.macworld.co.uk/business/news/index.cfm?newsid=17420. You should see some serious banding if you switch back and forth between that webpage and another one.

It also only shows 1/3 of the monitor because it's that 1/3 that has a gradient that displays banding. The other 2/3's is just...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Having recently purchased the Gateway FPD2485W I am promptly returning it today. The banding is horrible. It cannot display a smooth gradient and tries to color correct it which causes a "Color Correction Flicker". What I cannot live with is the horrible ghosting while playing FPS games. I...

    I just purchased a thermaltake armor case, and am wondering how others have mounted a radiator in the front of the case. I dont want to put a dual / single radiator behind the case, but want it all contained within the case. I've seen some screenshots where people have the radiator in the...

    Just froze my water cooled PC

    No anti-freeze. Just distilled water with additives (water wetter, anti-microbial). It thawed out in about 3 minutes of me bringing it into the house, so it wasnt "rock solid" frozen, but frozen well egnough. There were no leaks after the hoses thawed. I will take the advice about...
