    Razer Edge Pro Gaming Tablet

    That price is just ridiculous. Even worse, the controller is reported there to be $250, the base/docking station $100, and the keyboard (one thing razor's made for years) won't be ready for months, or included. Also, I wonder how much it weighs.

    5850 high temps

    Alright, I tested with a few games. The temps were a bit lower (and much lower, depending on the game). All games are on 1920x1200, and highest in game settings. (all were playable, though skyrim slowed once or twice briefly). Playing Dota 2: 60-75% usage and 77C (32% fan) BFBC2: 99% usage...

    5850 high temps

    I recently put together a new computer to replace my aging q66, and the only thing I'm continuing to use right now is my 5850. However, after putting everything together and looking more closely, I'm seeing a bit of a problem. For reference, this is the card I have. I've had it since late...

    small form factor and longevity issues

    What sort of office work is this? Is it just running microsoft word/excel/general office applications, emails/web browsers, or more intensive with things like video or image editing? Is there any kind of cpu intensive work? Do you need a discrete graphics card, or will onboard graphics do for...

    Trying to finalize build, thoughts?

    Thanks Danny. I found the article to be quite interesting. I'll be keeping stock for now, though may introduce a side fan in the near future (and possibly top exhaust, who knows, I might mess around with it, but I now have a better idea anyhow). Also, this is news to me that power usage from...

    Trying to finalize build, thoughts?

    Well the MSI Z77A-GD55 looks pretty decent from what I can tell. Anyone know much about ASUS P8Z77-V LE? It seems the ASUS has more power phases, though I don't really know what difference that will make. For fans, I would prefer quieter fans. I may put that off, get the case and use it as it...

    Trying to finalize build, thoughts?

    Lets get these questions out of the way first. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Largely web browsing and gaming. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Roughly $800. I dont expect any lower, cannot go above $900. 3)...

    CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 $58 after Promo & MIR

    You know, I wouldnt. I looked at the 650hx and 750hx, and decided I liked the 750 based on it being a bit more efficient, but I'm 100% certain I would be fine with a 650HX, which after rebate and discount, comes to $73.50. I havnt looked into the 650hx at all for prices/sales, but at half the...

    CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 $58 after Promo & MIR

    I'm looking at getting a 750HX for an ivy bridge build in .. well, April, when Ivy Bridge comes out. I've basically decided on getting a 750HX and corsair 400R, and looking for good deals on these items between now and then because they shouldn't depreciate or be replaced like some things might...

    AF 922, bu

    Hey guys, I'm currently looking for a good mid-tower case to suit my next build. To keep this a little simple since I dont know the complete specs of my coming build, I'll be using a full atx motherboard, planning on getting a i5 3570k, quite possibly a thermalright true spirit 120. Along with...

    Looking to replace my current rig on ~$1000

    ZR24w & PS3

    I'm not trying to make you sound like an idiot, but in all those steps, you didn't mention turning on the PS3. Assuming you did, I would look at that adapter, and make sure it works. I would also check and make sure the HDMI cable's good, and finally make sure the DP port on the monitor...

    New to dual monitors, problem setting default

    I'm using DVI for the samsung, DP for the HP. I guess I can try moving the samsung to the other DVI. (I'll try that before posting this) Okay, there appears to be no change by doing that. If I were to use DVI instead of DP I guess that could do it.

    New to dual monitors, problem setting default

    I just bought a new monitor (HP ZR24w, love it, replacing/dual with my old Samsung SM226WB) and have found it generally wonderful now having 2 monitors. I've got things set up fine for the most part now, just one little issue. I set the HP ZR24w to be my main display under Win7 CP. When I...

    I need your help...

    The biggest downside to the PX2370 is quite obviously that it's a TN panel. It sounds as though that is what you are looking for though if you dont know what that means I recommend researching it a bit. There is a thread stickied in this forum giving a bit of information on the different panel...

    HP ZR24w

    New monitor choices?

    First off I'll note I made a thread I think a week ago that was never replied to, so I'm going to try to be a little more broad this time. I'm looking to buy a new monitor in the next couple weeks. This will replace my current Samsung SyncMaster 226BW. I want it to be 24", 1920x1200, with a...

    Does anybody here know SSD?

    I think first it would be good to know, what about your laptop are you unsatisfied with? Specs of said laptop? This information can be helpful seeing as we know not if a SSD will actually help you.

    Galaxy 2nd Week of Christmas Give-Aways!

    Right now I think videocards are progressing fine, it's games that need progressing (at least until I get into multidisplay gaming, but who knows when I'll have the money for that) I think more innovation in cooling systems for them would be good, I think people have covered this pretty well...

    HP ZR24w

    I think I'm sold on this monitor, just spent a while reading up reviews and comparisons, and this seems quite nice. Is there any place in particular someone can recommend I look to buy one? I've found locations, but not sure of what would be best or any current or up coming sales.

    Secret Package Delivery Procedures Revealed

    I have no problems with UPS or FEDEX here usually. I've had a couple non attempts when they were supposed to, but most of the time it's fine. I know the usual UPS driver by now, and he's quite nice. He'll even buzz the door to the apartment twice if I dont respond to the first one.

    A storage solution best for me

    Need new microphone and or Headset

    I think upon thinking about it further I will instead go for a stand up mic/whatever you wanna call it, desktop mic. They aren't too expensive (or rather they dont have to be), means I can continue using my headphones, and simplifies things greatly given my current situation/setup.

    Need new microphone and or Headset

    Interesting, this makes me think I might want to get something else entirely. the setup I currently have doesn't allow me a lot of options the way I see it. I have an antec 900 case under my desk, if I have to I can plug a headset into a usb or b the mic and sound in on the front of the case...

    Logitech G5 going out, what should I get?

    US Government Told Piracy Losses Are Exaggerated

    No, no, that is not what I mean. That obviously hasn't gotten us anywhere, aside from ruining a select few's lives. Realistically, there probably isn't any way to stop piracy. Lowering prices will only get so far as well. Consider music, I doubt we'll really get any lower than $1 per song...
