    Nokia Multigraph 445Xpro monitor (big, awesome, free!) FF

    I've got a Nokia Multigraph 445Xpro up for grabs in Jersey City, NJ -- if you can come get it, it's yours. Nice monitor, heavy, it'll do 1920x1440 at a nice refresh rate (of course, see the most recent 100 or so pages of the Display forum post about the fw-900 post for details on that) -- it's...

    Desktop system monitor for memory/cpu/network/etc? USB?

    I've currently got a Logitech G15 keyboard and it has a little screen that I'm using in conjunction with LCDSirReal to show CPU, memory, network bandwidth, audio volume, time, etc.etc.etc. I like it. But eventually the keyboard will need to be replaced. Does anyone make a small desktop unit...

    Lenovo Outlet, refurb 2x Xeon E5-2620 / 32Gigs ram workstation, $1270

    http://outlet.lenovo.com/outlet_us/itemdetails/4353XD1/445 This looks like a LOT of computer for the dollars. 32 gigs of ram, two xeon processors, and from quickly looking it up, they've got a big power supply in there, too. The only thing that's got me not jumping on this are the...

    Reason to not go big?

    So I'm in the early-planning for a build -- is there any reason to not go a little large on a power supply? I'm a bit fuzzy on the efficiency ratings -- if I have an 800 watt power supply, but only ever pull 200 watts to power the computer, the electricity consumption should be the same as if I...

    Home built case super basic questions

    So I'm looking to put together a media center box and figure it would be quite interesting to put it into a piece of old stereo equipmet -- gutting the stereo equipment first, not adding. I've got my mind wrapped around it pretty well, I think, but ended up with some relatively simple...

    Multimonitor and projector question

    I'm setting up a computer that currently is connected to a projector and a monitor -- there has been a request to add a second, larger monitor that requires two connections. Right now the computer has a 4670 in it -- what should I do to add two more video outs? The computer is mostly used...

    10 Gig connection types SFP+/CX4

    Heavily in the "this should exist" category is some way to connect a device with a 10GB CX4 connector to a device with a 10GB SFP+ connector -- have I missed something obvious, or is there really no pleasant way to connect these two devices?

    Non-widescreen monitors? How about a "tall" widescreen?

    Being one of those "CRT-People" I really like my near-squarish monitor. With windows and programs both grabbing space at the top and bottom, widescreen doesn't leave too much room to work with. Are there any decent non-widescreen monitors being made? I'd be looking for one to do 1920x1440...

    Are there any reasonably decent and low-power cards?

    I'm currently looking around for a video card to fairly inexpensively do student media production on. Adobe CS4 products suggest a 512 meg card with pixel shader 3 support. OK, nice, within my <$100 budget I can get an ATI 4830 that would likely hold up to After Effects and Premiere for a few...

    Bittorrent Router?

    Has anyone used the ASUS WL-700gE and have any comments about it as a router, especially the bittorrent functionality? Are there any newer routers with hard drives and download capabilities? It's a very interesting function, but also one that could be almost useless if done wrong.

    Crucial Ballistix and Gigabyte EP35-DS4 - memory replacement recommedation?

    After running into WAY too many problems with system stability, I did some internet research and found that it is not uncommon to have problems with Crucial Ballistix memory and Gigabyte DS4 motherboards. After seeing the statement "some people never get Crucial memory to work with their...

    Diablo 2-esque games

    Can anyone recommend any new games that are similar to Diablo 2? I am fine with single player only, so that should make it a bit easier.

    Quick resolution question for 8800 owners?

    I just bought a new (to me) monitor to go with my (upcoming) new computer purchase, and it has a maximum resolution of 1800x1440 at 80Hz -- is this a resolution that an 8800GT can do? Can anyone check their display settings? I know that 1920x1440 is a resolution option for these cards, but...

    LCD vs. CRT?

    So I'm looking to get a new monitor and was wondering what monitor I should get. The thing I am stuck on is if I should go LCD or CRT, and I am not sure why most people go with the LCDs, there just seem to be so many issues that are not present in CRTs: stuck/dead pixels :( anything but...
