    Feast in time of plague: thinking about NEC 2490 despite the economic crisis

    Hi all, As a belated birthday present to myself, I decided to buy a NEC 2490WUXi. I am really spoiled by the Dell 2005FPW (a S-IPS panel), but it starts showing its age, and the NEC looks like the most logical upgrade path. I briefly considered the 24" HP S-IPS, but I don't want to go through...

    Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 questions

    Hi all, I have been using a Belkin ergo kb for about 4 years now, and it stopped and somewhat reverted a bad wrists problem (exercising helped as well). Now, however, I absolutely require an ergo keyboard, or the wrist trouble comes back after several weeks of standard keyboard usage (pain +...

    Are there good and price-efficient 20" PVA / IPS monitors?

    Hi all, A friend asked me for advice on his upgrade. Couple of years ago, he bought a Dell 2005FPW on my recommendation and has been very happy with it. Gradually he got into stock trading, and now wants 3 additional displays. 2005 and 2007 Dell models are not available any more, 2008 and...

    A potentially dumb question about speaker port tubes

    Closing them up will not hurt the speakers in any way, will it? My BR-1 are only about 5 inches from the wall, and I'm growing increasingly annoyed by the wall reflection that muddies the bass. I'm sitting about 2 feet from the speakers, so room influence is negligible aside from the back wall...

    IDE cables question

    Hi all, I was shopping for an ATA 133 40-contact cable (need a longer one), and noticed that 2 different designations exist: IDC40X3 and simply IDCX3 (this one is more expensive) Is there any compatibility difference or does the "40" just mean "40 pin connectors"? Neither google nor forum...

    Thinking about buying an X-fi fatality...

    OK, I apologize for making threads so often lately :) but newegg has a rebate for X-Fi Fatality (good 'till Nov. 29, so I'm not late this time) which brings the final price to $133. (They also have a rebate for Xtrememusic, bringing it to $73, BTW). I toyed with the idea of getting an Elite...

    A call to Giga DS3 owners with PQI Turbo Ram, others welcome too

    And I thought I did my homework before buying parts... specifically, I saw many ppl running DS3 with PQI Turbo-667, bragging about great overclocks, etc. Well, my DS3 refuses to boot with this RAM unless I bump the voltage to 2.4 . The RAM simply cannot take it and about 15-25 minutes after...

    HP L2335 for $567 ??!!!

    Has anyone ordered from this website before? http://general-mall.com/product_info.php?products_id=908&language=en&cPath=4 It doesn't say "refurbished" anywhere ... Something must be fishy, right? Even the google search for "general-mall.com" returns nothing.

    x-fi elite pro vs. chaintech av-710 and ESI Juli@ for music

    Thread title says it all, really. The only reason I'm asking is because Newegg has a $70 rebate on it right now, which brings the price to $210 (still not sure I'll get it, though... I planned to go with Juli@ sometime soon, but the deal is quite good) To be more specific...

    Desk lamp over the monitor

    Does anybody know of a decent desk lamp that can be positioned over the monitor, like this: If yes, what's the make/model and what is your experience? I am really looking to save space on my desk. I guess I am looking for something fairly large that would light up a nice working...

    New machine, need recommendations

    Hi all, my current machine (in sig) really starts showing its age, and I decided that it's time for an upgrade at last. The problem is, while I still keep the "big picture" in mind when it comes to HW scene, I am really not on top of newest products, minute differences, etc. and I...

    Flash drive problem :(

    I think this is the correct subforum... My 1GB memorex flash key got corrupted somehow: the custom drive name is gone, XP thinks it's not formatted (but is unable to format it) and the capacity now shows as 16 megs. A qiuck google search gave a bunch of software I'm unfamiliar with and...

    Most stable A64-X2 mobo?

    Hi all, I am going to build a computer for a friend. He is a 3d artist and stability under constant heavy load is the highest priority for him--he will be doing a lot of rendering. (SLI/Xfire and RAID are actually not necessary at all). It would be great if the price is not outrageous (i.e...

    Disclaimer: I blame [H]ardforum(tm), particularly the "Computer Audio" section, for everything ;). Let me preface this by saying that I am by no means an audiophile, and don't really have any basis for comparing the Daytons with anything else. I just wanted to have good audio for...

    I want to upgrade my sound setup to bookshelves + stereo receiver. After some research on receivers, it seems that Onkyo TX-8011 provides the best bang for the buck. It has 4 audio ins: CD, Phono, Tape1, Tape2. All look like normal RCA ins. My question is, how are the inputs different? Is...

    Couple of questions about 4-8 monitor setup for stock trading

    A friend of mine who is getting into stock trading or somesuch, just asked me about a (cheapest possible) computer able to drive 4 (maybe even 8) monitors. Now, he did not give me any budget, just asked how much the cheapest solution would be. It is my understanding that 2 cards in...

    What image stretching modes does it support? Same as 2405? (I.e. 1:1, fill screen, aspect stretch)? Sorry if it has been answered before, but I skimmed through the specs on the Dell website and found nothing, and the 2005 thread is just too long...

    Yet Another Dell 2405 mini-review (n00b)

    It seems that questions and debates regarding the Dell 2405FPW still appear regularly, so I figured a mini-review wouldn't hurt. Keep in mind that this is my 2nd LCD ever. My first one was a 15 inch NEC MultiSync 1550V, a 30 ms TN panel (according to Tom's Hardware). I never worked with...
