    Ratpadz XT $25 w/Free Shipping

    Just checking back here... I got this mouse mat late Dec, 2011 and am VERY satisfied with it. Still mighty slick just like day 1. I just ordered another one for my office use. Thanks Kyle for keeping the $19.99 promo! PS. I'll also be sure to "bend the shit out of it" when it arrives. You...

    Ratpadz XT $25 w/Free Shipping

    Just received mine in the mail today. Out of the box, it was bent in such a way that the top two corners don't touch the desk and wobbles back and forth pivoting on the top feet when either corner is pressed. I "Bend the shit out of it" and is now letting it settle out. Will see if it goes...

    nVidia graphic audio?

    Thanks for the response guys. So I understand it that the "loss" in quality occurs at the DAC. Essentially, the sound cards that outputs to 3.5mm jacks are doing the conversion from digital to analog signal, which is where the quality drops occurs. Sorry, still trying to grasp the big...

    nVidia graphic audio?

    Hi guys, Here's my situation: I run all my video game consoles via HDMI and my PC via DisplayPort into my U3011 Dell display. Simply for the convenience of swapping audio source and video source in 1 fell swoop. The U3011 outputs either 5.1 or 2.0 via 3.5mm jacks. I have a Swan M50W, which...

    Replacing my Z560 4.1 set with a 2.1 set - need suggestions

    Hi, I'd like to chime in here... Why did you suggests that uDAC? I'm not exactly sure if I understand its significance. I do have a problem though... If I turn up the volume in Windows, I get a very... blown out sound from the speakers... I have to reduce the sound output in Windows and then...

    Need a 2.1 system for laptop/PC. Music will be the main use

    Reporting back here just an FYI. I just received my M50W today and I'm very impressed. $300 well spent IMO. I've been using the AV40 for a week now. The AV40 simply doesn't compare. True that the AV40 is half price, but I feel the quality is worth the wait to save more money. I'm keeping...

    Need a 2.1 system for laptop/PC. Music will be the main use

    The M-Audio AV40 is pretty good, but bass is lacking IMO. I picked up a set at my local Frys and while I like its clarity, it just doesn't have the same oomph in bass that I expect while watching movies.

    Need a 2.1 system for laptop/PC. Music will be the main use

    Hey guys, I have been doing a bit more research for 2.1 set ups and found that Swan has two very nice products. The M10($117) and the M50W($279). I have been reading reviews on both and they have all been very well received. You can find various reviews for the M10 just by googling "Swan M10...

    Need a 2.1 system for laptop/PC. Music will be the main use

    Hey Dankex, I'm also looking for exactly this kind of set up. Though, I would prefer to have a subwoofer with two decent satellites. I've been using the Altec Lansing 251 for a LONG time: http://reviews.cnet.com/pc-speakers/altec-lansing-251-5/1707-3179_7-20313457.html But the speakers are...

    I would like to know this usage trick as well. Maybe I'm not making good/clever use of my display. I've been using it like any other monitor just with more windows visible. lol

    Dell UltraSharp U3011 30" S-IPS 2560x1600 monitor $1124.00+tax incl. ship @ Dell

    I upgraded from the same 37" westy as you have. It felt a little small at first, but the color is just... a world of a difference. I spent the first half hour going "whoa... I never knew these sites could look this vibrant" ;) FWIW, I'm able to run WoW on my set up in my sig at max settings...

    Dell U3011 Thread

    I received my U3011 last Friday. Its colors blew me away. My previous display was a Westinghouse LVM-37W3SE. No competition, even with a 7" advantage. The AR was very noticable when I did my pixel tests with plain color backgrounds. But that was when I had my eyes like 2 inches away from...

    Ok... So I just bit on this display today. U3011 coming to my door step next Thursday. I have a GTX 260 Core 216. I primarily only play WoW. I would like to run at native resolution, so my question is: Can I run WoW at 2560x1600 with settings cranked up? WoW isn't as intensive as current...

    I think this is dead. I just called for availability and asked about this. I was told it's no longer given out. He used the phrase "not anymore", so I assume he knows about it and it was happening, just not anymore. On a related note... We can put down $50 and reserve a unit of choice for...

    Any reason to go from 6GB to 12GB DDR3 1600 for 2560x1600?

    I must disagree here. I was previously at 3x1GB DDR3 in triple channel on Windows 7. I would run irc, pidgin, chrome with 8-10 tabs, itunes/winamp, ventrilo, WoW, Thunderbird, 2-3 explorer windows, utorrent and a slew of smaller backgrounding applications. Everytime I alt tab out of WoW to...

    Tripple channel memory interleaving

    Thanks for the reply! I have all 6 sticks installed and they're all operating at 1333Mhz. The channel interleave setting is at 6 way and the rank interleave setting is at 4 way. Are these configurations correct? CPU-Z reports that I have 9GB total. FSB:DRAM at 2:10. 9-9-9-25 Sounds correct?

    So in searching for my answers, I gave a call to the Apple store that I had selected for reserved pick up. I described to her that I'm concerned about the pre-ordering fiasco and that I had experienced the error while pre-ordering and was led to the pick up in store option. I then proceed to...

    :( I'm a bit uneasy. I just got through the Apple store process... that I think didn't go so well. I selected upgrade from existing account and device. It asked me for phone number, zip code, and SS#. Input those and proceeded. The next screen was a bit odd... It showed that I'm on a...

    Were you able to remove the additional item from the cart? Shame I can't get pass the check for eligibility stage... I'm trying to do the "Existing > upgrade" option. I think this is ATT's database that's timing out.
