    Pros/cons of buying Dell?

    Hmm.. Well BlindFusion, I'm not sure why you would need to replace the case and PSU in addition? Personally, I believe Dell is a fine company (these days at least) and have great promotions. Most commonly though, they involve a monitor as well. So I'd say get the Dell if you're buying a...

    nah I'm not into dual monitor set-ups. Tried it before, didn't enjoy it.

    30 inch craving

    So I'm having a little trouble deciding... Ya see, I just moved up to a Dell 2408 ultra-sharp flat from a 19" CRT which I got on sale (totaled $530 incl tax + s/h). Don't get me wrong, I love the monitor, and it seemed huge when I got it but now it just seems average. :(. So, now I want to...

    FS: i7 Core Extreme Gaming System for Sale

    Holy motherfucking shit fuck. I am in awe. Brother, I would so fucking buy this in a heartbeat had I not already built my own setup. I would drive all the way there from California to get it at that price. FML PS - Good luck man... Damn, why couldn't I have waited another 2 weeks. :(

    what to do...

    I'm going to head over to the local guitar center to check some possible items out today. Also, while it's nice that you pointed out that they are $300 each, I really don't think was pertinent. A nice PM would have done fine instead of trying to make people appear a fool. I doubt that was...

    You mean the MIPA awards? What, you don't trust the opinion of all the top audio enthusiast publications coming together and selecting the best audio equipment? figures.
  13. G

    what to do...

    damn, the Genelec ended up being beaten by the Focal CMS-50 in the MIPA awards 2009..! But they are $300 more w/o a sub.

    what to do...

    I really don't wanna muck around with the amp so active is pretty much a must for whatever monitors I purchase. Have you ever heard of Tannoy Actives? My friend has a set way back from 1999, still sound great today. Granted, they did cost $700 each.

    what to do...

    Gotcha, thanks for the input! I have quite a few lossless audio files available to me, not just mp3 but thank you for your concern. And I don't plan on spending my maximum budget, not unless I am convince to buy those sexy Genelec's. :D

    what to do...

    I got enough room for tower speakers but I don't NEED them to be huge, a moderate size is nice :) And no, I don't need them to be small, they are simply the cheapest Genelec monitors... What speaker setup would you recommend instead?
  17. G

    what to do...

    I'm still thinking maybe speakers would be nicer... Headphones feel somewhat cramped to me. The Genelec 6010 are actually the smallest nearfield ACTIVE monitors available. I also really like their design, but that is not an overriding factor. I must say though... the Stax look pretty bad...
  18. G

    what to do...

    So you vouch for these Stax being the absolute best headphones around? They seem like a relatively unknown company, and after checking out their website my opinion is that it is poorly designed/maintained... What made you such a believer?
  19. G

    what to do...

    btw the reason I was interested in the Genelec's was because they won MIPA awards 2008 nearfield monitor award... which I need because of I lack specialized acoustics.
  20. G

    what to do...

    you intimidate me man! Now that's a lot of gear... say you don't happen to be a member of gearslutz? Music... Electronic mostly, I also enjoy Classical (Bach, Andrea Bocelli, Mozart). Some hip-hop, not so much though. I very much like movies too.
  21. G

    what to do...

    Yes, I had similar thoughts in regards to headphone vs. speaker. So, you own this firms "Stax Lambdas"? What other equipment do you, personally, utilize? Acoustics are not something I was concerned with, seeing as the Genelecs I was looking at are nearfield monitors, meaning there is no...
  22. G

    what to do...

    Out of curiousity, why do you have this distrust of B&H? Or are the Genelec 6010 themselves something you don't like? I could use headphones all of the time, providing they are comfortable enough. I'm not going to purchase both, it's gonna be either speakers or headphones. Headphones are...

    Greeting [H] audiophiles, Lemme explain in the least words possible, I understand your time is important. Some background first: I purchased the Z-5500 surround sound set from amazon and felt that it was not a worthy investment as the sound quality was subpar. I sent them back and will...

    My experience...aka problems with the new Razer Mamba (if you own one please read)

    You ought to get the Microsoft X 8 SIDEWINDER gaming mouse.... My friend owned the mamba and after I gave him a try of the X-8 he couldn't resist and bought himself one. The wired-wireless is as seamless as it gets + very convienient sensitivity switching. Comfort is also excellent. I also...

    What can an iPhone do without a SIM card?

    Well, it sorta comes down to a moral decision. If you don't feel the least bit unkind by taking possesion of someones iPhone, by all means keep it. Make sure you remove the SIM and whatnot, so that they cannot track you down or whatever. (Lucky you, it's not the new one that has "Find Me"...

    Just ordered Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP

    Well, after an hour of using my new 2408WFP, I am pleased to announce that it is pure joy. I have not attempted to play CS:S yet but so far I am very happy with my purchase, the colors (once calibrated) are superb and I doubt that I will be returning it. I am no scoffer of S-PVA technology I...

    What did YOU do to your RIG today? upgrades/additions/changes?

    Went quick and fast, Win7 is absolute pwnage. I am very pleased with my build. I find that 80GB would be the minimum for my OS/App drive. Besides that, intel x25m is the absolute best performing SSD, though it is in terms of miliseconds, I still decided that since I was going "all out" might...

    What did YOU do to your RIG today? upgrades/additions/changes?

    I'm installing Win7 RC on my 80GB intel x25m right now... going quite fast. Also, just built my first computer! It was cool but now I'm sad cuz I didn't know about the motherboard stand offs and by accident scratched the inside of my Silverstone FT01 :(. Also, cable management made me want to...

    New build - Help talk me off the ledge

    go AMD for that price. They won't be dropping socket AM3 for a while for sure, so if you want to be able to upgrade later on that's your only option.

    Just ordered Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP

    Well I got the rev AO2, and so far... Well. Can't tell ya cuz the rest of my computer isn't here yet! lol, but it looks very slick - as far as design goes. And define the sensation of the lag in CS:S? I like that game... does it ruin the experience entirely?

    Just ordered Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP

    So did you ever figure out how the monitor was? I just purchased it and am curious if it's really as bad as some around here say. Or I guess I'll see for myself tomorrow when it arrives. Jesus I wish I looked into this more rather than making an impulse buy when it was on sale. Shit, if it's...

    early June build: input please

    Okay well I've placed the order and should have it by Friday. Got the Dell 2408WFP for $500 incl shipping + tax And the Logitech Z5500 5.1 Surround Sound for a total of $300 w/ shipping/tax sure it's nothing amazing but with my M-Audio 1010 it'll sound good. Or am I horribly wrong... I...

    wow man, wow...! How long did it take you to set all that up? You're wall mounting is clean as hell. Also, are those monitors 24" or 22" Dell's? It's amazing! Truly a masterpiece of home design.

    early June build: input please

    Wow. Well, I'm impressed... maybe when the price drops further I'll invest in a second 80GB intel x25m.
  39. G

    early June build: input please

    I'll take that into consideration. The PSU plays a big role seeing as it's $150 more than the one your provided. And peripherals (mouse, pad, keyboard) I hope it's as good as they say. Or maybe I'll get the Enermax MODU+85 625W instead... argh but then I'd have to buy a new PSU later this year...

    early June build: input please

    The GTX285 is also on sale today, and it's factory overclocked as well as having EVGA's wonderful support. RE: MOBO- Honestly, neither do I. But I like the company & the product is equivalent of the other high end X58 motherboards, so I think it's a good buy.
