Hi there, I'm looking to finally turn in my 4:3, 17" screen and dive into the widescreen world and was wondering which of the two would be a better buy. Not sure about you guys, but I don't know if I can justify dishing out close to $1000 for the 27" version. I'm going to be using it mainly...

Hi There, Ok, so I've skimmed through the few threads regarding monitor, and most have turned into arguments on the AG coating and the supposed terrible backlight bleed. Anyone have info regarding the release date for US and Canada? Is all the hype worth the wait? I've been patiently...

Hello, Just wondering if anybody has any experience with the Accelero Xtreme on the Radeon 6900 series cards (more specifically, the XFX 6970). I've read quite a few horror stories regarding people shorting out their cards or over tightening the screws, etc. I bought the new Accelero Xtreme...

Hi there, I picked up my XFX 6970 a couple months back and I'm very pleased with it for the most part. I'd like to mod it with an aftermarket cooler, and I had my mind set on the Accelero for quite a while now until I read a number of reports of predecessors physically damaging cards due to...

Hi there, I picked up my XFX 6970 a couple months back and I'm very pleased with it for the most part. I'd like to mod it with an aftermarket cooler, and I had my mind set on the Accelero for quite a while now until I read a number of reports of it physically damaging cards due to it's weight...

Hi there, I'm looking to eliminate the remaining bottleneck in my system, the hard drive. I currently use a 80GB Velociraptor, but I been looking to upgrade to new tech, that being an SSD. I've been researching somewhat but some things are still unclear. Some say that you could get the...

Hi guys, I've been itching to buy a Dell U3011, though my wallet will be severely damaged (and empty), but I stopped to think, do 120hz LED IPS panels even exist? My guess is, they would cost way too much to manufacture and for the end user to buy. It got me excited after seeing a movie in...

Hi guys, I've been searching Canada for any retailer that carries this cooler, but have had zero success. I want to get one for my XFX 6970. Would anyone happen to know where in Canada I can get one (if at all) along with the kit to go along with it? Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Hi guys, I've been looking to buy an SSD with 180 or 240 GB capacity, and either OCZ or Corsair. The Corsair is around $100 more than the OCZ with the same capacity (don't ask me why). I've read a couple reviews and have been unable to choose one brand out of the two. I've read posts from a...

Hi, Well, I'm looking at grabbing one of these (when Auzentech decides to ship them to retailers). Does anyone have any pros/cons for it, links to reviews and if it was overal a good buy? I'm coming from an old SB Audigy 2 ZS (which is dying might I add). I consider myself an audiophile...

Hi guys, Well, I caved and bought the XFX 6970 for $369 (which I thought was a good deal for the power of this card), but I came across a small amount of details regarding the next gen, 7900 series which is apparently out 2H 2011. Being built on the 28nm process and brand new architecture, I'm...

Hi, Just wondering what IPS monitors in the 27-30" range would be great for things like Gaming (Crysis, SC2, Fallout, etc), Blu-Ray and the like. I was looking at the Dell U2711 and U3011, but I've read a lot of complaints about the input lag being fairly high. Could anyone suggest options...

Hi, Just wanting some suggestions as to which brand may have any features to sway me in any particular direction from the other and vice versa. Looking to pick one of these up this week or next, anyone that has reviewed them or owns either of them that wouldn't mind offering a suggestion, it...

Looking to get a new monitor (preferably IPS because I can't stand TN) in the subject size range, without an outrageous price tag. My only preferences are: -Has to have minimal input lag because I do a fair amount of gaming. -sRGB would be great as well. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Hi, Well, I'll make this short - I run a CRT with a Radeon 4830 @ 1024x768. My problem is, when I try to run the game at the desktop res, I have a big black bar on the left side of the screen. I've never had this problem before I built my new PC and switched from WinXP to Win 7 RC. I...

According to the Crucial website, it has 2 RAM slots and takes DDR 333. I don't have much experience with Macs but does it absolutely HAVE to take Mac/Apple Compatible RAM or will any DDR 333 ram work from say, Corsair, Kingston or A-Data? Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know why great, affordable IPS panels are only made and sold in Europe and only that part of the world? I'm curious to the reasoning behind keeping such monitors there instead of expanding into North America. If anyone knows, please do share - I'd like to get my first LCD Monitor...

I've been out of the loop on displays for a while, but I been looking to get a new LCD for gaming/hd movies (affordable, preferably 24" IPS, but an excellent PVA/MVA would do as well). Is there anything of interest that I should be looking at? Thanks. Cheers!

I was looking at getting one of these 2 RAM kits and was wondering if the kit with the slightly faster timing is enough to warrant an extra $20. Here they are: OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 PC3 12800 7-7-7-24 Low Voltage Triple Channel Memory OCZ3P1600LV6GK OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB...

Hi there, So I've bought the new Corsair HX750w PSU and it's awesome. Anyway, I would like to get a new UPS that is fully compatible with this PSU and is rated at the same wattage. A while back, I had issues with my Cyberpower 450w UPS and my old Enermax Inifiniti 720w PSU. The Infiniti...

When will it end? Supposedly, it will be out by no later than this month (2H 2009) according to the Auzentech website, but we'll see if that's true. Hope they bring it out soon, the new ASUS sound card lineup, including the flagship are already in stores and look pretty competitive. Anyone...

Hi there, Ok, so I've been looking at the Gigabyte EX58-UD5 and the MSI Eclipse (whichever model is both Crossfire and SLI Capable). Based on various reviews, the Gigabyte UD5 looks like an excellent board, but I've also read a lot of negative user reviews, many having DOAs and others having...

Greetings, I'm in the market for an new monitor (still on a 17" CRT sadly) and need some suggestions. It's going to be used for HD Games and Blu-Ray mostly, but for school work as well. I was looking at the HP LP2475W, but at $800 for a 24" screen, that's way too much for me. An IPS panel...

Greetings, Well, I've been looking for quite some time now for a nice LCD in this range that's affordable or at least, reasonably affordable. Looking at some IPS panels like the HP LP2475w, I just can't justify the $800+ CAD price tag for a 24" monitor. At only a couple hundred more, I could...

I'll make this short because I'm extremely ticked off at the moment - I install the TV Tuner onto my motherboard, load up windows, try to install the drivers and apparently, the Board is NOT found. I've tried 3 different PCIe slots, including my other PCIe x16 and still NOT found. Can anyone...

Hi, I was just wondering - it says it's compatible with Media Center Operating Systems, but does that mean features such as the included Remote will only work on MCE or will all the features work with any Windows? Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Ok, short and sweet - No matter what I've tried, everytime I make a slipstreamed disc, everything installs perfectly EXCEPT the WinXP theme is ALWAYS missing. When it boots up the first time, it starts up with the ugly win 98 look and in display properties, it does not even appear in the menu...

Getting very tiresome, nLite is crashing during the the Integration, always at the same spot when installing all the updates & hotfixes. I've tried everything I can think of and took out anything that might be causing problems like any and all WMP and IE updates and left only the critical...

Hi, I'll make this short - I just got my new Velociraptor and I want to format and install a fresh installation of XP Home (which comes with SP2 on disk). I would like to create an XP disk that has all the Security Updates & Hotfixes since SP2 was released up until now. Is there any good...

I was looking for the best choice in the 24-26" bracket in an IPS flavor for Gaming and HD Movies. So far these are my choices: -Doublesight DS-265W -HP LP2475w The famous NEC model everyone talks about isn't an option as it's too rich for my blood. The Planar is also a bit too much as...

I've been strongly considering purchasing the DS-265W, but have read a lot of mixed reviews from other users. I was just wondering if anyone has this monitor or have used this monitor that can point out the pros and cons before I invest $650 into it. Another option seems to be the HP...

I had a thread up a while back, but was getting no answers. Since I bought my Enermax Infiniti, I've been unable to use it until I get a new UPS, so I'm stuck with my old 430 Thermaltake PSU. Can anyone suggest a decent and affordable (if possible) True Sine Wave UPS for a gaming PC? Thanks...

I've been hard pressed to find an excellent cooler for my A X2 3800+ because the stock fan/heatsink is ineffective and loud as hell. I just want an effective and quiet (silence is top priority) heatsink/fan combo that isn't super heavy and an ultra high tower like many of the side-blowing...

Does anyone know, even a rough time frame, for when the P183 is supposed to be released? I see a Canadian retailer that just got the Sonata Elite in stock (which was announced the same time as the P183 quite some time ago), but no P183. What's taking so long? If it's delayed to make...

Hi there, Well, I just bought this awesome PSU (or so I thought) until I read the manual which states that only "True Sine Wave" UPS' are compatible with it. Of course, my luck has it that my CyberPower CP800AVR UPS is "Simulated Sine Wave". So, I basically had to revert back to my old 430w...

It hit me today, Corsair has no Modular PSUs in the high-end/high performance desktop bracket. The highest wattage desktop/mid-tower in the modular design is the HX620, after that it's the HX1000. What was the reasoning behind not releasing modular PSUs in the 650w to 850w range? I would've...

Hi there, I was just curious to know if the Infiniti's cables would be long enough to reach their destinations taking into account the cases' cable routing/management features. The PSU is at the bottom in this case and there is routing behind the motherboard tray, over the top, etc. Was...

Hi, I've been searching extensively (without success) for a case similar to the P182. I would've went with it, but after seeing the problems with space and such I need an alternative with the following: -Sound dampening design -Enough space to fit a high-end video card, such as the...

I've read that AMD/ATI has plans to release these GPUs for laptops sometime in the future. Does anyone know the ETA is on these? I can't seem to find anything relevant regarding its release. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I figured I'd make a new thread since the one for this monitor is like 30 pages long. Anyway, I have a couple quick questions: 1) Are there any retailers (more specifically Canadian Retailers) that sell this monitor besides the likes of Provantage? 2) Should calibration be...
