    Corsair "Barebones" Christmas Giveaway!

    Great customer service and quality products! My 8GB Flash Voyager USB drive unintentionally came with me into Lake Erie, and after letting it dry overnight it still worked like brand new!

    Temporary scaling fix for flat panels and 8800 cards

    Yep. Also tried using the VGA cable, too, still no luck. Thanks for this, I'll give it a try... -TyShoe

    Temporary scaling fix for flat panels and 8800 cards

    I'm still anxiously awaiting a driver fix. I've tried the latest XP 158.22 drivers, the 96.89s, the monitor turned off trick, and the custom timings. No luck at all with my eVGA 8800GTS and Viewsonic vx2025wm. Just got the 8800GTS two days ago, replaced a 7800GT OC. I'm very impressed by...

    Game Soundtracks

    Here's a cool review site: http://www.altpop.com/stc/ Also, just wondering... is there any legal or moral issues with downloading video game music through P2P? I'd imaging that game soundtracks are NOT RIAA protected, and any income these soundtracks generate for the game developer would...

    Viewsonic VX2025wm arrived! First impressions and pics

    This monitor will NOT do scaling, BUT with your Nvidia card you can activate "fixed aspect ratio" scaling or "centered" scaling in the nVidia control panel. Keep this in mind, although this might have only been for my monitor... when I activated the scaling, the monitor would say "Out of...

    Are all LCDs like this?

    Could be the video card they are running on? Especially if it is onboard. I have two computers at home, one for games with 2X 7800GTs, and one for just websurfing and word processing for my wife, which has an old TNT2 card. Heck, the TNT2 is probably WORSE than today's onboard. There is a...

    Is it possible to use a laptop screen as a display for a desktop?

    You can do it using software. I saw it done in PC mag I think. Something like this... http://www.maxivista.com/ -TyShoe

    Should I Trade In My Samsung

    19" WS just "appears" larger than 17" 5:4 because it is wider. To the OP, I guess it just comes down to personal preference 5:4 vs 16:10, but I still would advise against the switch if you have to pay a significant amount of money to do so. If you are going to spend, spend just a little more...

    Should I Trade In My Samsung

    Just throwing it out there for consideration. He didn't say if he played modern games. I played two games just this week that don't do widescreen, and have no hack at the widescreengamingforums either. Let's put it this way... if he can do an even trade, then it may be worth it just to move...

    Should I Trade In My Samsung

    I would say no. The 19" widescreen will actually feel SMALLER. Your 17" is 1280x1024 for a total of 1,310,720 pixels. The 19" widescreen at 1440x900 nets you 1,296,000 pixels. It's actually LESS desktop area. Plus, consider this scenario. You are used to gaming at 1280x1024. Lets say...

    backing up data

    True. I was thinking Norton Ghost to an external drive. Just forgot to type the "external" part. I don't use a program to backup my stuff, but I just copy the files that I know will change a lot to an external that I take with me to work. The files that I know are not going to change, i...
