    Monitor colors

    I like my colors accurate and standard gamut.

    what is your current main system?

    10.6 on my MacPro and MBP. I use XP on a Netbook for those classic Steam games, though.

    The official "clean desktop" club v2010

    I think whoever runs kymg.net is the guy who drew it (hopefully), it was a rant image on Megatokyo a few weeks ago (and thusly is the current rant). Anyways, I would've found this picture earlier if Pixiv's link redirect wasn't broken. :mad: (Oh, and a link to the big image)

    Need to create a rack setup... any recommendations?

    Yep, but it saves on not getting an office microwave. I was just here to post the lackrack as the ultimate budget solution.

    List of GLOSSY monitors

    The 24" ACD requires a $200 add-on DVI->MiniDisplayPort adapter. I think this is negatable by having a MDP card (not necessarily from Apple) or using DisplayPort->MiniDisplayPort.

    Feeler/FS: Powermac G5 Quad + some other stuff

    -----Feeler----- Doublesight DS-263N: Picked this up on eBay for my second monitor that I don't need. 25.5" screen using an H-IPS panel, no dead pixels that I can tell. Becomes warmer towards the right/bottom side of the monitor. Furthermore, only one DVI port (the DVI-D interface) works, the...

    via C7 as a network router

    That's what I was thinking. Despite anything, I was probably going to nab an extra one for backup (I assume once I get everything configured I can clone it). Thanks for the personal perspective, makes me feel a bit better about nabbing these since I wouldn't be the only one running a CF...

    via C7 as a network router

    Thanks for the heads-up; oddly enough I was thinking about using pfSense on an atom-based Supermicro barebone (that has two Gb ethernet ports), so this was a pleasant surprise. I assume that there is some benefits of at least the reads from compact flash versus my, oh, old 10 GB IDE drive I was...

    CF=Compact Flash? This might be the best news I've heard in a long time.

    Students At Indiana University Going On Raids For Grades

    "You need to provide very clear feedback." So, the professor wasn't giving good feedback in the first place and had to switch to a more "innovative" teaching style. While getting the people who make games enthusiastic about what they do, point me to a work environment set up like this.

    Disgusting Computer Award

    Its why I'm using a Mac. :p In actuality though, I head "into town" for college enough times of the week that I just stop by their place to get my fix. Despite the latency, I'd rather have this over dial up, no joke. Trust me, it is very painful. What's also painful is that the Verizon...

    Disgusting Computer Award

    I live in the boondocks. Got dial-up, it was win because it was the internet. But it was slow. Now I have satellite internet. Its better. Its broadband. On ther other hand, its not like I can stream SD content, either. And the ping time is substantial. See image.

    Dell U2711

    Probably might get a new stand. If the monitor has absolutly no defect minus the stand, it'd be the logical thing to ask for IMO.

    Motherboard for dual opteron 8347 processors

    Cool. Sorry, I know there wasn't a whole load of interest in the thread, but I was curious if you were using the 8xxx Xeons in dual-socket. That's all, thanks for the explanation.

    Best monitor for Xbox 22"-24"

    Dell 2209WA - 1680x1050, does 1080p overscanned via component->VGA adapter, lag is only pixel response time. Has aggro overdrive. 22" NEC EA23WMi - 1920x1080, lag is pixel response time, not-so-aggro overdrive (very little difference between it and the Dell). 23"

    Dell u2711 color uniformity problem

    Yeah, that's an issue with LG, I would contact Dell because I thought there was something about having a specific deltaE value out of box (Anandtech said something about that). Also, I would resize your image (though this *is* the display forum) :D From Anantech (nevermind if the review is...

    Bad display on laptop screen? Diagnostics

    Graphics corruption. Also, I have no idea if the particular laptop's GPU is removable or not (usually they are not), so your friend may be SOL. However, sometimes these issues come up from dust and overheating, so maybe cleaning out the heatsinks and/or replacing the thermal interface...

    Is a transparent LCD possible?

    Not saying its not impossible, but... there's some hurdles for current technology. Say, the light coming from the magazine - green specifically. Considering that only green wavelengths are going through the monitor, the monitor has two choices - either display that wavength of colour or...

    Dell U2711

    Part of me is hoping that Dell doesn't rescind their guarantee or harden up to all the returns from single-pixel problems. I'm getting mine in May, so I hope I'm not SOL when the time comes around. Thought I might link you to this if you hadn't seen it already. Just the F2380 on these forums.

    About to pull trigger on 3x Dell P2310H

    Derp on my part. Now I think 1680x1050 @75 Hz requires dual-link DVI. Depending on your card, you may need either DP or a MDP adapter. If you don't want to run with 75 Hz, 1680x1050 @ 60 Hz is enough for single-link DVI - some DP-> single DVI adapters @ monoprice. Dunno if you have them in...

    About to pull trigger on 3x Dell P2310H

    Well, I dunno what models Prad got, but maybe they didn't use a splitter for their test (atm I'm too lazy to read it, will do later). Personally I'd go with Toasty because he knows what he's talking about. I wish I had first-hand experience with the 2209WA, but I have DS-263Ns, and the posts I...

    About to pull trigger on 3x Dell P2310H

    2209WA. Here is why, down to the nitty gritty aside from the usual "viewing angles" stuff. Not to mention, if you game on a console sometimes - via component -> VGA adapter (not converter) you can set the 2209WA to overscan a 1080p signal. ((The P2310s can most likely accept the component...

    valve teases steam games on the mac

    Hmmm... Well, if for some reason you're stuck to OSX, this should be cool. I'd like to see how a ported game compares (especially with the lack of DirectX) On the other hand... x86 only :rolleyes::D No love for PPC anymore. On the other hand, I dunno how my G5 would handle something like...

    WD® Introduces Fast and Rugged Solid State Drives

    I would think that they mean SATA 3Gb/s. On the advertisment and on the specification page it has that particular tidbit, and the max read value (250 MB/s) is towards the top of the real SATA 3Gb/s throughput.

    Voodoo5 power draw laugh

    I have a 5500 in my old gaming computer I inherited from my brother along with its 1 GHz AMD CPU, whole GB of RAM and 16 GB HDD. It is soooo full of win. So many good memories on that machine (mainly Civ, Half-Life, and Homeworld).

    Dell U2711

    I wasn't trying to jack with you (<-context error), but you should know that, reading back in this thread, there have been numerous reports of the Anandtech review being ineffective - If quality is your main concern, look at the FlatPanelsHD review for some guidance.

    Dell U2711

    Umm... Wait for a scientific review, if "Anandtech" or some other users didn't sum it up for you yet. In fact, start your own thread, just in case your comments get buried.
