    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    Looking for a recommendation for new net setup. I have a Arris SB6141 modem running off comcast 250MB plan (no fiber avail. booo). I currently have a Netgear n300 (WNR2000v5). I was hoping, at the time, to be able to flash it and use one of the third-party firmware; however, last I...

    Will a Kingwin STR-500 fit in a Silverstone GD04/05?

    I'm confused by the manual's specs for dimensions. Excerpt from manual: www.impervious-guild.com/silverstonetek.png Why would a modular PSU, like the Kingwin, lose 20mm of room with a 120mm fan? The Kingwin is 170mm in depth which is right between fitting and not fitting. Kingwin...

    Asus VG236H 120hz 3D Monitor Review

    Awesome NCX, as per usual. Deals thread has the 27" 750 @ $400, whereas the 24" xl2420t is priced at $400 from BenQ. Not sure if the glossy Asus has dropped at all since I last checked, it's hard to find the 'HE' version in stores and I'm afraid to order online; but I did pick up the 'H'...

    Wondering about using a Plasma as a monitor

    I agree; stationary things will definitely retain on teh screen, think the start menu for example. Even when used for console gaming; if you play a game for 4-8 hours you'll see the HUD on screen afterwards. TV Viewing, think of the scoreboard on a football game. The game mode, which...

    Um.. is this real? The BenQ XL2420?

    Where's that picture from? Facebook? I see it's listed on BenQ's site but it's not on their shop - any insight into it's cost?

    Best 24" Monitor ?

    Dick response: Yo dude, there's literally 15 threads asking the same thing in the next 3 pages of this forum. Nice response: You have a few choices to make. Glossy/Matte 16:9/16:10 60hz/120hz Glossy/Matte is entirely your preference. The resolution debate has been beaten to death; but...

    Looking for help: TN 120hz 23" - 27" around $400

    Actually, I brought it home from Frys and set it up because I was so curious. It was the display it was pretty terrible. Having said that I do notice that it's snappier, but I'm not sure I really notice the 120hz as much as anticipated (although I only have the one video card atm)... It's...

    Asus VG278H is coming soon!!!!

    Still working on that part. edit: I assume, the same justifications people use to purchase the Samsung s27a950d for $700. Also, I'm only going off the suggested retail price which is in the fine print of that promo.

    Asus VG278H is coming soon!!!!

    $700 MSRP, and 11/1/11 is the drawing, and my expected release of the monitor. Damn that's hard to justify, but I am trying; I really am!

    Looking for help: TN 120hz 23" - 27" around $400

    So just got back from Fry's and well... I saw the Asus, Viewsonic and BenQ. Asus was very nice, vibrant, colorful, good all around; reminded me of my panny plasma. BenQ was washed out, dull, and 60hz only. Upon inspecting further it was plugged into a monitor hub, which was plugged...

    So... here you can win it: http://promos.asus.com/us/VG278H/#.TpizLHLN5I4 Odds are like 1:250 at the moment, expected to be 1:10,000, but it is free to enter. edit: It states drawing is on 11/1/11, I wonder if that's when they will release it? edit2: 9. "Prize, Approximate Retail Value. Each...

    Is this Water Coolable?

    Thanks! I opened up the intake port last night, wasn't nearly as hard as I imagined, but it's also not nearly as large as I hoped. I'm fairly confident a 240 and also a 200mm will just NOT fit. Furthermore I'm worried about the depth I have to work with, as it's just big enough for a typical...

    Crucial M4 64GB vs 128GB question...

    So on anantech bench, it shows the 128GB being superior, by at least 30%-40% in all tests. And on tomshardware, it shows them being exactly the same, except for write speed. Who do I trust? Should I get 2 64GB in RAID0, or wait for a deal on the 128GB?
