Thanks for the great feedback. I appreciate the detail you gave with your comparisons.

Hey folks, Right now I'm sitting with an Asus VG278HE, a 27 inch TN panel, 1080p, 144hz monitor. I've had it for maybe 3 years and have good experiences with the monitor. No dead pixels, little to no light bleed, and the only drawback I deal with is the poor viewing angle. The monitor is...

This has been one tricky card to pick up. I stalked the Newegg page the last week and a half and finally caught it in stock last Friday. It's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow afternoon. I'm keeping my fingers cross it will be free from the coil whine and heat-pipe issues I see a few people...

Thank you. I had read the new fix is more of a brute force method to correct the issue and may impact the lifetime of the drive by as much as 25%. I was hoping to avoid it if the issues were limited to a fraction of drives and not every one. Hopefully I see a noticeable performance gain...

So, I have a 750GB EVO 840 that is used as my gaming SSD. I have a separate, smaller Agility 3 SSD as my OS drive. During the first go-around last October, I updated the firmware and ran the refresh program. Now I'm reading about a second set of fixes I may want to apply. Much of what I've...

I wonder how many are like me that want to play Boarderlands - Pre sequel, and enjoyed the prior two games, and were also unwilling to pay the release price because we know it will eventually be heavily discounted. I know I rarely pay full/release prices anymore. 1 out of every 5 AAA games I...

2X Cooler? Huh, is 27°C twice as cool as 54°C? Ha...I'm just being a smartass. I really don't give a damn.

That's good. At least I know where I'll need to go if I over freeze myself and get stuck in suspender animation waiting for the next gen gaming system. Hopefully I can gain the trust of the sea otters.

They're really expanding the classes outside of the typical. Both BL1 and BL2 had very similar classes. Siren: Lilith / Maya Commando: Roland / Axon Tankzerker: Brick / Salvador Snipe Stealth: Mordecai / Zer0 I always played the Siren path and focused on elemental weapons and damage...

More like a flood of terrible reviews that make them one of the lowest rated local pizza places. For a small, privately owned family businesses, this can be devastating. If business is cut by 25% because they now have a bunch of crappy reviews on yelp, that can be the difference of being...

Cool, I'll check out ModernMix. My ideal setup, the one that's influencing all these questions is the ability to play a game in front of me on my landscape monitor. To the left is my portrait monitor. I want the top of the screen to have a netflix show/movie going while below, split...

Thank you. That worked and took care of 3 other issues I had. I only wanted to launch games on the 2nd monitor because I couldn't figure out the clock issue. 1. Show windows stacked only works for windowed programs. Thank you for that tip, but I'm looking for metro apps to run split...

I upgraded from W7 Ultimate to W8.1 last month and I'm struggling getting my ideal setup with my 2 monitor configuration. Currently I have a landscape (main) and portrait (secondary) monitor setup. 8.1 seems to have limitations to this setup I was hoping would be resolved in the first update...

Currently my biggest gripes revolve around a 2 monitor setup. Currently I have a landscape (main) and portrait (secondary) monitor setup. 8.1 has limitations to this setup I was hoping would be resolved in the first update. 1. the inability to run split window with a horizontal separation...

If you're an AMD guy, then the ASUS HD7770-1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5. $109.99, but $89.99 after the $20 mail in rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121663 If you like AMD better and can eek out another $20, consider the 260x...

Yeah, I caught that too. I think they misused heal in that description when they meant seal.

I believe this person was looking for a confrontation and got exactly that. $10 bucks says his response to the whole situation was passive-aggressive.

Terrible in what way? It looks to me like an extraordinary amount of time and work and talent went into making that costume.

Thanks mod for moving this to the right place. My budget... I'd be willing to spend $100 on a sound card and another $200 on superior headphones. I'm an adult with a good paying job, so my budget is all about the value of the experience and not if I can "afford" it. If I could be convinced...

Hey Dudefellas, Keep in mind I'm not an audiophile when you read my question. For about a year now I've been gaming, watching movies and listening to music on my PC exclusively with the Corsair Vengeance 1500 USB headset. The headset has a built-in soundcard, so I bypass my on-board...

What vast majority of sucky PC games are you referring to? My steam library is filled with incredible PC games that rarely suffer from enjoyment breaking flaws due to a crappy port from a console. Finally, you make jumping on the "money train" seem like betrayal. I work damn hard for a...

This is exactly what I was anticipating. If they would have done adoption/upgrade incentive pricing like they did at 8.0 launch, I'd have upgraded my Win 7 64-Bit Ult license. At $120 ($199 for pro), I'll pass. I have no use for metro and I'd be booting directly to the desktop anyway...

It's funny, but I don't have a negative stereotype for MacBooks. We have Apple products in our home. 2 iPhone 4s and an iPad (3rd gen)... so I'm not an apple hater. I'm more of an oddity in that I'm a hard core PC gamer, but love the iOS platform. I think my only stigma I have about Macs...

I guess I'd need to find how close is close. My intention was to put the USB 3.0 external drive on my desk, right next to the computer. It would sit about 3 feet away from a wireless printer and 6 feet from my wife's laptop on the other desk. I wonder if the interference is constant...

Grumble, grumble, grumble. We talked about it last night and MacBook did come up. Apparently a few women she works with have macs and have been talking them up. It definitely has sparked my wife's interest. She's with me in the fact that they're very very expensive and we can get...

Hmm... that may actually be the option I'm most comfortable with. I hate the idea of buying a computer from a big box retail store. Amazon or Newegg may be my path after she plays with it at the store. Now to combat the lack of the instant gratification she's looking for from walking out of...

I'm a PC gamer who has built his own computers since 1995. I recently got married and the wife is looking for a new laptop. Her old one is an 8 year old Toshiba with a Pentium IV, 512MB of Ram and Windows XP. It’s painful to use. Her comment to me was "let's go to Costco or Best Buy...

Hello All, I had intended to purchase an external USB 3.0 hard drive for my main PC (gaming rig) in my home office. The home office is only networked wirelessly. No network cables are used. My main PC and some devices use the 5GHz band, however some (Wife's Laptop, iPhones, wireless...

Great answers both of you. Thank you!

I've noticed that WD VelociRaptors are on sale at NewEgg. Before the days of affordable SSD, these were the holy grail of fast, consumer level, storage and something I use to tell myself that I would splurge on one day. (that sounds dirty) Before that day happened, SSDs became affordable to...

Interesting that most of your macro key use is outside of gaming. I'll have to give that some thought. I read some other sources and confirmed RTS and MMO are the two genres of games where macro keys are more commonly used. I'd love to hear some more thoughts and uses for those macro keys...

I purchased a Corsair K70 (red switches), a little over a month ago and I'm tempted to sell it to a friend (who would buy it if I offered), in order to upgrade to the K95. It seems though, the real advantage of the upgrade would be for the 54 programmable macro keys. My question is to the...

I'm a big fan of the linear feel of reds. I have them on my Corsair K70. I play FPS, Skyrim and 3rd person games (Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Diablo 3). I've had the reds for over a month now and have no regrets. Only comparison I have is with Black and Blue switches. I was able to play...

Ok. never mind. I think I found the game. Thanks to Google's reverse image search. The game is called Mercenary Kings. Apparently it's a kickstarter and hasn't been released yet. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/322438897/mercenary-kings

On an episode of ZoominGames on Youtube, the topic shifts to indie games. The first one shown is a side scrolling, co-op gunner. I've seen it once before but can't figure out the name of the game and if it has been released. http://youtu.be/UnGOVeeXz7U The game clips start at 4:51 and...

Funny part is that I've done the "forget this network" on the iphones and ipad and in windows I've deleted the network profile under "Manage Wireless Networks" I'd expect not to be able to "discover" or find the network listed as an SSID after I deleted those profiles. Why would it still...

About a month ago I set up a new Asus RT-AC66U router. I set the wireless 2.4ghz and 5ghz with the same SSID. About 2 weeks ago I changed the names of my SSID. Now I have an issue with a phantom SSID under the original name. All my devices and computers see both the original SSID and...

That's great news. Congrats on the setup going flawlessly and your success with healthy monitors. You've got me strongly considering a trip to Newegg this evening. My bank account does not thank you. LOL
