Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
No power supply yet...I'm building this rig from scratch. Chances are I'll go with a solid 600W+ to last me a while.
Do you think the 4890 might be a better value? Or do you recommend going with a dx11 card?
I'll probably be running a 5850 (or 5770 x2), which should fit in most cases, but given the trend of video cards getting larger and larger, I want to make sure whatever new card I get in the next 2 years will also fit.

- can fit the largest video cards (I don't want to run into a situation in the next couple years where I need to buy a new case to fit the next generation of video cards)
- low maintenance (dust)
- quiet (I won't be...

Currently, the only non-TN in the 20" range that I'm aware of is the Dell 2007WFP, which pushes the upper limit of my budget. Are there any cheaper VA or IPS panels that are currently sold on Newegg (or best buy, etc.)?
Ideally, I want to spent around $250 give or take. Many 20"-22" monitors fall in this range.
Which models, specifically, would you recommend for my purposes? Are any of them non-TN?
Also, this is for use with my macbook pro if that matters.
I'm in the market for a 20-24" monitor that doesn't break the bank. It will be mostly used for gaming, coding, and web design.
On this forum, many of you make it seem like TN panels are unbearable for any type of design work. The main points were this:
- Poor viewing angles
- Moving your...
