    FS: ASUS Xonar D2X

    My good old D2X. It's worked great for the last few years, but with my recent upgrade to TRI-SLI I don't have any space in my rig for the card. Not really an audiophile anyway, I can live with chipset audio. The accessories pictured are the only ones that will be provided with this card. I'm...

    Come across any 6970 reviews w/WoW benchmark?

    Yes I know, WoW, lol. :P That aside, any benchmarks? Especially Crossfire.. stupid Tom's remarks of multi-GPUs scaling horrible in WoW has me wondering. Still curious. I've always felt like WoW does better with Nvidia cards. I remember a time when the graphics options of WoW advertised the...

    This is a long shot, but could [H] video card benchmarks include WoW?

    Not many professional hardware review sites include WoW, despite the millions worldwide that play it. I doubt many people really buy the latest graphics card for WoW alone, but they're probably curious how the latest graphics card they're going to buy for XYZ super high demanding FPS performs...

    Dual GPU/SLI/CrossFire @ 2560x1600 - World of Warcraft

    I stumbled on this recent blue post regarding dual GPUs and WoW: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1083360040#2 What about 2560x1600 resolution? The higher the resolution the more GPU draw (less bottleneck from the CPU). Does a 2nd GPU do more for WoW at 2560x1600? I have a 30" LCD...

    Cheap PCIe 1.0 card for 2560x1600?

    I got an old system from a buddy w/A8N32-SLI Deluxe and PCIe 1.0, and want to hook it up to my 30" (u3011) next to my main PC, as a server. The card in it, a 7800 GTX, only goes up to 1600ish resolution. Searched around, best I could find is...

    Raid 0 data recovery?

    Title isn't as bad as it sounds, but one of my older work computers wont POST, I've narrowed it down to CPU or mobo. It has two hard drives in raid 0 via on-board Intel raid controller (I don't why it's in raid 0, it was a former employee's previous computer). The two drives should be healthy...

    Alternatives to 2007FP for 30" flanking (flush).

    I don't really want a 5 year old LCD (UltraSharp 2007FP). I recently bought a 30" (U3011), and looking for a second monitor that sits flush in portrait mode. I don't need a premium monitor like the 2007FP as just a secondary display, one premium monitor is enough for me. Nothing comes close to...

    Do you have a strategy for upgrading every generation without breaking the bank?

    It's hard not to notice signatures around here sporting SLI and CrossFire configurations of the latest hardware, 480 GTXs, etc. along with latest gen of other hardware. I find many of these same people are ready to purchase the next gen video cards (or have) soon as they debut, such as the 580...

    Which 60GB: OCZ Vertex 2 or OCZ Agility 2

    From NewEgg: OCZ Vertex 2 OCZ Agility 2 Benchmarks on the web are favorable to both. Other than the IOPS and price I can't decide which of these is better. First time buyer of SSD, help me decide. :D According to the OCZ website the Vertex 2 series are their best drives. The Agility 2...

    Disappointing trend: Lack of VESA mount in LCDs (Samsung!)

    Actually, two disappointing trends in LCDs these days--particularly Samsung: - No height adjustment. - More importantly: no screw patterns for 3rd party mounts/stands. I own a couple ERGOTRON Neo-Flex LCD Stands for my 22" Samsung and 24" ASUS. I'm not willing to pay a large premium or...

    Wattage advice for my rig (w/HD 4870)?

    I've been having crashes lately with my new ATI HD 4870. The crashes are two-fold: sometimes the monitor goes blank for a bit and the system-tray pops up telling me the ATI driver had an issue but has recovered. The other reoccurring crash is the entire system locking up and having to reboot. I...
