    Need advice mounting to concrete

    Ok, so, I'm back to square one. Management doesn't care about me drilling holes in the wall as long as they're not too big (1/4" is fine). However, no one around knows for sure what the walls between units are made of. Each time I talk to a technician here, they say "watch out for water pipes...

    Need advice mounting to concrete

    Rotohammer? I'm not planning on using a hammer drill - was hoping a standard drill with a carbide bit would be enough to get through 1-3/4" of concrete. The holes will only be 3/16 to 1/4 in diameter, so I was planning on just patching them when I move out, like I would any other hole. Do...

    Need advice mounting to concrete

    The maximum distance from the wall is about 2', but I will have it at about 1' away. The weight of the monitor is probably < 15lbs, and the mount itself around the same. I'm considering ditching the lag bolts and shields they sent me, and drilling 3/16" holes following by some 1/4" 2-3/4"...

    Need advice mounting to concrete

    Hi all, I bought an ergotron LCD wall mount (I owned their LX desk mount for my previous setup and it was awesome). I live in a highrise condo building and should have figured the walls would be concrete. However, it also seems there's at least 1" of drywall over concrete (maybe two layers?). I...

    Nvidia Surround with [60hz][120hz][60hz] doable?

    Just thought I'd let you know the AW2310s are back on sale for 369 again if you haven't already made a purchase. I'm considering getting a few but am being indecisive about it since I've never done surround gaming nor 3D.

    Is there no good 120 hz monitor?

    I don't understand the comments regarding the Alienware... I just checked the price on amazon for the Asus VG236H, and it's near $500. Google shows a lowest price of $440. The Alienware aw2310 has been around $400, and I just checked now and it's $370 direct from Dell. *edit* I was mistaken...

    Question for alienware aw2310 owners

    Hello, I'm looking to get an aw2310, but I need to be able to rotate it into portrait mode when I'm not using 3D. What I'm wondering is, if you use a monitor arm / mount, could you rotate this monitor into portrait mode, and if so, would the weight somehow be unevenly distributed? I notice...

    nvidia 3D vs 2d surround

    For those who've tried both, which would you rather have if you could only have one? I'm looking to upgrade, have never tried either, and don't really have a way to test without buying the necessary hardware first. Thanks!

    Need info from 3DV surround owners before pulling the trigger

    Awesome, thanks for the help! I don't actually see the photo, but I understand what you're describing. So I guess then the question is... does this effect make it not worth having 3DVS? I don't know if I'll actually be getting this setup anyway because of the insane cost, but I'm just...

    Need info from 3DV surround owners before pulling the trigger

    Hi all, I'm strongly considering buying a 3DV setup with three Alienware AW2310 monitors and three nvidia GTX 580 cards. However, what I'm pretty concerned about is the 3D glasses blocking my peripheral vision so that I'm unable to see the side monitors without fulling rotating my head. Or at...

    Help choosing a NAS / media server solution

    Thanks for the info! Do you have any opinion on Synology vs Qnap as far as which one is more versatile, etc? My router is a DLink DIR-655, and has four LAN ports... don't remember if they're gigabit. Why exactly do people buy switches, anyway? Don't most routers act as switches? There must be...

    Help choosing a NAS / media server solution

    Hi all, I recently started considering buying a NAS, but I want to get whatever will best fit my needs. I have a few devices a use regularly: Windows PC, hackintosh with OSX, a Macbook Pro, iPad, and PS3. Currently on my desktop machine I've installed OSX and Windows 7 on two separate...

    Best wireless gaming headset?

    Those look nice, except I'm actually looking for headphones with surround. Either multi driver r something like Dolby Headphone (or a competitor to DH). I can't give up the surround, unfortunately :(

    Best wireless gaming headset?

    Bump. I also have the same questions as the OP, and would like to get more responses on this. I found many of the responses above to be ineffective and more argumentative than helpful. First, wireless headphones don't need to have "everything processed on the headphone". And thus, getting...

    Need advice for surround headset / mic for specific gaming setup

    Thanks. I can do what you describe, but I'd like all the mics to be wireless (not a 2.5mm wired for xbox). Ideally I'd only have one or two mics (or an entire headset with mic). If you have three separate mics, you end up having to charge each one every time you use it. The reason is...
