Pretty bad-ass. Thanks.

Yeah, its definitely a personal preference - we'll see if it was worth it. So I pulled the trigger on the purchase about a week ago. Eagerly awaiting its arrival.

Great contest and prize. Count me in!

GeminiCool: The reason for the cooler (and trust me, I know its pricey) is that I wanted a quiet system that also cools well. The stock cooler wouldn't have cut it for those requirements, and I think the price difference between a bad after-market cooler and a good after-market cooler is...

Haha, yeah I know what you mean. I've read some of the posts concerning either monitors, and there seems to be positive/negative feedback for both. What I was hoping for was a comparison of the two, but it seems unlikely someone would have had experience with both. With regards to price...

Hi all: Due to some promotion/rebate deadlines, I had to pull the trigger and purchase the system, even though I wasn't quite ready :) I contacted them, and they've graciously allowed me to delay the order a bit to give me time to think some of my choices over. Here is my order (all...

Good - I had suspected as much. I personally like the looks of the MSI mobo (and its a little cheaper) :) obobski: I have a Hyundai L90D+ right now, which I love - no complaints. I just checked its dot pitch - its 0.294mm :D So I guess the 0.287mm pitch on the Asus VW266H won't be that...

Ok, would people recommend the Asus VW266H or the Samsung 2443BW?

Definitely, personal preference :) I've been revising the build a little. Based on these two choices, which would people pick, or does it not really matter: Choice 1 Combo Deal link Core I5-750 2.66GHZ CPU + G.SKILL 4GB DDR3-1600 (7-7-7-24 timings) + Gigabyte P55-UD3R Motherboard = $450...

Bump

Hi: Putting together a new rig, and can't really decide on a monitor. I'm currently using a 19" Hyundai ImageQuest L90D+, and want to upgrade to a 24"/25.5" monitor in the $300-$350 CAD range. I'll be basically doing some gaming (RTS's, no FPS's), with regular stuff like surfing the web...

I'm not sure what you mean by this - are you saying that 20% doesn't matter or it does? Could you provide a link? I haven't seen too many in Canadian stores. As for multi-monitor, that's not really a concern right now, although thanks for the information. Personally, I've used them before...

I definitely agree about the video card situation - I think the new ATI cards may be introduced tomorrow. As for the games, I just listed them to give people an idea of what I mean by moderate gaming. Of course, its not possible to predict the future. However, I would think that its safe to...

It works for me. Please try again, the site can be finicky sometimes. The price is $480 before rebate.

I also see this deal at a local store: MSI P55-CD53 Motherboard + Patriot Sector5 1333Mhz 4GB (2x2GB) Memory Kit + Intel Core i5 750 =$450 (after Mail-in Rebate) Link Anyone have comments on whether the deal is good, or the quality of the individual components?
