    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I have REV A01. Ah, didn't realize they were capacitive. It seems they are VERY sensitive to change of light. If I just hover my hand over the button (not even touching), it will light up. So basically, any movement in light/shadow causes the button to light... Quite annoying.

    Gamer Build (Please help!)

    Thanks for the helpful comments, guys! I will be holding out for the Sandy Bridge. I don't play many games (when I do, it's at medium quality), so the machine will be used primarily for Photoshop/VM/Excel, etc. I'll be putting the Hyper 212 on the build list as well-- Doesn't hurt that...

    G31M + e5200 newbie OC help

    I've tried the 220 FSB and lower FSB frequencies as well as the PCI setting to 100Mhz... Still doesn't work. The Corsair 400W PSU is supposed to more than enough to power a E5200. No idea why it's not working.
