Thanks James - the guys at Corsair told me to fiddle w/the fan screws too. Loosening them up just a little made it better but not completely, and then loosening them up more made it much worse. :D I finally ended up tightening them and the clipping went away! Which is good because I really...

Didn't see anything physically clipping the fan, but when I hold the fan and boot up its silent, so I think it must be hitting up against something. Just not sure what.

Having a problem with my Corsair PSU when I turn my computer on initially. PSU makes a clicking noise, like a projector somewhat - no smell. Going through some forums I've seen other people w/the same problem. The weird thing about it is that when I press the power cord in the back more the...

Looking for an e8400 - but buying a separate fan for it on newegg. Would I miss out on anything else from getting the OEM version?

Oh yeah, I've been reading this board and a few others a lot. This place has a lot of great resources, and you guys all helped me out a lot with my monitor, which I was going back and forth on for a couple of weeks. Based on what I've read though, I might stick with the e8400 since I don't...

I wish! Stuck up in Albany, New York - far away from everything. Man, I thought the processor was the one decision I was sure on! Thanks for the input everyone, starting to lean towards the Q6600 now, although I really have no plans on overclocking either processor.

Danny - taking your advice and dropping the mobo, is the Gigabyte P35-DS3L all right? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16813128059 Will switch to your cooler and RAM, was being stubborn but G. Skill has gotten a lot of good reviews for less money. Still stuck on the...

Thanks, sorry for not mentioning more on that. I wasn't really planning on getting a Raptor or a faster OS drive. Whats the advantage of getting the 32 mb cache Seagate OS drive over a basic 7200 RPM WD, or a faster Raptor?

Been planning this computer build for about a year now, slowly tweaking parts here and there as my budget allows. Poor college student, been looking forward to this for a while, so hopefully you guys can help me get the most out of my money! My needs actually aren’t that advanced, I’m a...

reductant - any preference with the panels on the w2408h? I thought the LG was worse than the Samsung.

I don't think anyone's ruling out BLB on the HP, it just seems like a much bigger issue with the Gateway. At least from what I've read, but I don't actually have either monitor like you guys do. To be honest at Best Buy I didn't see much BLB on either of them though; the biggest difference was...

Since the biggest draw for the Gateway to me is the inputs for my PS2, and I might want to get a TV tuner anyway (to record Jets games :p), would the best solution be to get the HP and something like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815310002 It doesn't seem to...

Man, that would make my decision so much easier! I'd easily pay an extra $50 for the inputs of the Gateway. But it looks like the brightness restrictions and BLB problem are mostly seen in the that monitor, though.

Reductant - I have read a lot of your posts on the actual FHD2400 thread and its had a pretty big impact on my hesitancy with this monitor. You seem to know your stuff and I really appreciate the input. I will try messing with the sRGB mode on the w2408h in Best Buy the next time I'm there (most...

Good point man, Best Buy really is bright, so maybe it will look better when I get it home if I decide to buy it. I've just read a lot of people on this board say that its pretty solid at zero, but it looked pretty depressingly dark to me. Thanks for the advice, HG - I think part of my...

Sorry ahead of time for another thread about this monitor, I know there are plenty already. I've read through most of them by now so I'm pretty well acquainted with the monitor by now I think. Looking for a new comp build and need a monitor in the 24 inch range, max budget is probably about...
