    Thanks for replies and suggestions. Ended up buying a Dell U2410. Found a coupon code for $80 something off, but had to pay tax. Total was approx. $500.

    Monitor for photo editing

    I read about this (Asus) monitor, but decided against it because of lot of complaints about backlight bleeding along the edges. Otherwise, the specs. seem to be great.

    No Bluetooth??

    Wait, but there is more. Now it is working, but every time after starting the computer, I need to activate the Bluetooth by pressing the key combination. Default settign is "OFF". Switching "Component services" (of Bluetooth) to "auto" does not work either. This is REALLY annoying. Acer...

    No Bluetooth??

    No, nothing in Bios. Actually, I flashed the new version thinking that it would solve the problem - before discovering the tricky key combination.

    No Bluetooth??

    Well, finally I found that it in fact has Bluetooth. I had to press Fn & F3 buttons (the combination for regular WiFi activation/inactivation) to activate it. It is inactive by default. When I press the key combination once, it would inactivate the WiFi. When I press it again, it would...

    No Bluetooth??

    I didn't boot the computer before wiping the HD. Probably I should have done that.

    No Bluetooth??

    No .. I don't see anything to control Bluetooth. No switches, no key combinations. Here is Acer's driver download page. They have drivers posted there.

    I think I have Atheros hardware. It doesn't even take Broadcom drivers - indicate no hardware installed. It does take Atheros drivers, but no hardware listed in Device Manager. I cannot even open "Bluetooth Suite" in Start Menu. BTW, I reinstalled Win 7 x64 Pro. - means, I wiped the...

    No Bluetooth??

    I just bought an Acer Aspire TimelineX 4830T-664 from NewEgg. The description says it has Bluetooth 3.0+ HS, but after reformatting and installing all drivers, I cannot find Bluetooth hardware in the device list. I cannot see the Bluetooth logo anywhere on the computer, either. All...

    New system - no display, no lights

    That's what I thought - no beeps or lights that's probably the possibility. This isn't a MB with very good reviews. Got an RMA processed already. BTW, memory was seated well. Thanks.

    New system - Critique please

    I thought of the MB. None of the others I looked at (Intel P45 or P55) seemed to have good reviews. Can you suggest a better, cheaper option? I used Intel boards (with on-board video) for such purposes in the past, but they seem to give troubles after 1 year or so.

    New system - Critique please

    I am planning to assemble a system to operate a scientific instrument in a chemistry lab. This would run almost 24/7 for long periods. The instrument will be connected to the PC via LAN (2+ LAN ports are preferred). Also, it should be a VERY solid system - that is, MUST run flawlessly during...

    Wierd memory problem - 4GB read as 3.75GB with 64bit OS

    Can't change anything in BIOS. Customizable memory settings are not available. This is some very basic Phoenix BIOS. I flashed BIOS again after installing new RAM, the problem is still the same.

    Newegg + UPS = dead drive

    NewEgg doesn't care about HD packing anymore. I ordered a Hitachi 1TB about a month ago and it came inside a collapsed bubble wrap. When I opened the drive, small pieces of plastic fell out of the package. RMAed the drive without even trying. Second one, replacement, came in EXACTLY the same...
