    Yes, for months, these, about 12" from the monitor. No problems whatsoever.

    Sony FW900 acting strangely (video)

    Can you please try a regular power extender with no switches/buttons etc., if you have one? You wouldn't believe it but I had a power extender almost exactly like yours, my FW900 was on it for a few months working normally but then it started getting issues, like screeching and shutting down...

    Sony FW900 acting strangely (video)

    Would those power extenders happen to have any switches or buttons on them of any sorts? Generic, cheap power extenders?

    Not sure why it would come off if all you used is distilled water. You can actually wipe off the anti-glare using some solvents without opening the monitor which is what I did at first. Eventually I opened the monitor and removed the plastic layer of the anti-glare as well because it had some...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    This exact same thing happened to me about a year ago, first the pinging and distortion lines, then the screen started blurring. I finally got it repaired in January, then about 2 weeks ago the same thing started happening. You can say goodbye to your flyback and/or power supply. The first time...

    Cursed thing. Mine's about to die again (repaired it half a year ago). After having this monitor for a year and a half, I can say this. I regret removing the anti-glare, I really do. Right now I'm on a totally crappy Syncmaster 763MB which has a shadow-mask tube with dark coating. Not only...

    Light, small gaming mouse

    So, my Steelseries Xai finally broke (scroll wheel & LMB). Good riddance, Xai, you won't be missed... I am without a mouse atm, and I borrowed my brother's Logitech B110, this is a basic 8$ mouse I think, no side buttons or anything. What can I say, wow. I played Blacklight Retribution and got...

    Yeah, I really never found a need to turn that on on any CRT I've owned so far.

    DRAM Voltage; X48 system

    In CPU-Z it says: Stepping: B Revision: G0 But from what you say the performance is far more similar to a B3 than a G0... Actually at this point I'm not even sure it's the CPU, maybe the motherboard sucks? As I say you can get 3.2 GHz if you keep the FSB low (356x9)... you can run 400 FSB...

    DRAM Voltage; X48 system

    First, thanks for your replies so far, tested a few more things out. When you set the memory to run at 1066 MHz and leave the memory straps at auto (must run 266 FSB), the board will automatically give the DRAM 2.06V (as shown in AIDA64). If you set the DRAM strap manually (2.00B, 2.00D...

    DRAM Voltage; X48 system

    Hello fellas, I'm trying to get some more juice out of this now somewhat aging X48 system, I've attempted overclocking before but never made it past 3.2 GHz. The past few months it's been running stock as I've just had not had time to fiddle with it and I wanted it fully stable. The players...

    Would you upgrade from a Sony FW900?

    >upgrade >Sony FW900 Does not compute.

    Your favorite monitor of all time

    My FW900. What can I say? It's awesome to have a working CRT in 2012. Let alone 24". Biggest monitor I've owned so far, and the best looking one as well. It has that "wow, wtf" factor when people see it. Sure, the room lighting needs to be managed somewhat to get the best of it, but it's worth...

    I don't think it's possible to improve on Windows 7 GUI

    You got that one right :)
