    Case recommandations? Lian Li PC-A77F?

    Cheers! Just decided towards the A71F though. Not only a bit cheaper but also more elegant with the front door instead of that cheapo front bezel.

    Case recommandations? Lian Li PC-A77F?

    Hey Tisca, the case on the side is the Z-70, isn't it? Would you have more pictures with all of them side by side? I'm shopping for a new Lian Li tower, and the PC Z-70 would be my choice but that plastic upper front panel is UGLY. Wouldn't buy it if it couldn't be replaced. Considering PC-A77F...

    NEC PA241w testing - the next step

    As it seems like all IPS panes have basically the same hardware, it is amazing to me the difference of the effect of AG coating on the PA241W compared to the Dell U2410. I didn't put them side by side, but it is much better on the Nec, don't ask me why. It's more than acceptable to me (the Dell...

    NEC (PA241W vs PA271W) vs Eizo CG243W NEW

    Numbers and trolling aside, I'm in love with my PA241W. Black levels might not be perfect but colour gradients and panel uniformity are just fantastic. Overall image quality plus great usability including a good scaler with even with PIP (which's been quite useful lately) and ability to switch...

    A new NEC professional IPS? PA series

    Any thoughts on PA241W versus 2490WUXi2 for moving images? Is the PA series any better / worse for moving images? I'm buying a second panel (third will follow) mainly for applications / video watching and wondering if it makes any sense at all to mix both panels or just stick to 3x PA241Ws and...

    A new NEC professional IPS? PA series

    Can't laugh myself. I had my 241W hooked to a eeepc for a week or so, limited to a resolution not too far from 320x240 :D

    A new NEC professional IPS? PA series

    I know that. I bought the monitor from Digitec but they didnt ship a separate power chord. Nec said it is a non-swiss unit (does it even exist? It is not mentioned in the manual) so someone swallowed my power chord in the way. Im enquiring the guys at Digitec and we will see it. Btw Im start...

    A new NEC professional IPS? PA series

    I've had my PA241W in my desk for around a month now. It's not been calibrated yet due to the lack of time to research about the best calibration tool for me. Upon turning it on, I can hear quite clearly a electrical noise from my chair. The noise goes away pretty quicly (1-2 minutes) and...

    GTX 580 SLI: 1.5GB vs 3GB Benchmarks? Anyone found any?

    Wow! Thats cool. I checked Evga in the beggining of the week (sort of) and found nothing there. Id pay 50 bucks more on these graphics easily, and the reason would be my plans to learn cuda programming which are sensitive to card memory.

    So is there an official announce of Evga's 3gb 580? Anyone cares to share a link?

    AMD to nVidia: Put Up or Shut Up

    I don't think there's a winner in this discussion. If you take a look at benchmarks (Anandtech's for example), each card alternate the lead in different tests. It's all about picking the ones you like most to make your point.

    The "Forge" Lian-Li A77F Custom Watercooled PC

    Hi! Looking for some Lian Li case for WC. Your setup is awesome not only from an aesthetic point of view :) For the moment I am considering those narrow LL towers, but not only expensive they can't take so big rads internally. Would you mind showing us the front rad and pump assembly? thanks!

    New Lian Li PC-X2000F w/ USB 3.0

    Nice links, thanks! Yet I wouldn't put the radiator outside, since besides losing the air filter it's not efficient for the air intake. There seems to be enough space for a large radiator inside, though as it will fit a X900 like this guy's...

    New Lian Li PC-X2000F w/ USB 3.0

    Thanks, coconut. The reason for water cooling is actually to keep noise levels down in a sli setup. Will check the vids later since im at work now. Those narrow towers are sexy so probably its worth to find a workaround for the hot air. Probably wc all components would make it, but the thermal...

    New Lian Li PC-X2000F w/ USB 3.0

    Prospective buyer for this case here with couple of questions: 1 - what's the difference between X-2000F and X-2000FB models? 2 - would a full-size video card fit nicely with a triple radiator and fans, all inside? 3 - is there enough space for cable management together with some extra...

    Mixing Quadro FX 580 and SLI GTX 580

    That's very relevant information for me, thanks for bringing it up. I just got a NEC PA241W and I'm wishing to feed it with a 10bit link but I also want to have 2 more monitor for gaming, which wouldnt necessarily have to be 10 bit (I cant even afford having 2 more of those monitors only for...

    Optimal SLI config for 3x 1920x1200?

    Considering 3x1920x1200 means ~50% more resolution than 2560x1600, the $100 price premium from cheapest reference GTX-580 to for example Gainward's Phantom 3.0GB doesn't look totally unnacceptable. That said, considering yang88she's rig uses 3x30", I still haven't found the use for more than...

    Optimal SLI config for 3x 1920x1200?

    Cheers guys considering the not-that-abusive price premium for the 3gb 580s, they seem to be the most sensible solution since Im planning to keep this config for 2-3 years. Availability is precarious, though - I found only a single demo card available ready for pick up, and I didnt find any...

    Optimal SLI config for 3x 1920x1200?

    Thanks guys Any references on how to roughly estimate memory use in gaming? I know there are many variables into play therefore its not easy. Also if 2x sli with 580s would be better than 3x 570s considering the memory difference would save me on mb, psu and electric bill :D

    Optimal SLI config for 3x 1920x1200?

    So, which configuration would do best for triple 24" monitors? I just bought a NEC PA241W and planning to have two more NECs in a couple of months. Planning to assemble a new rig this weekend, so have to decide between: 2- to 3-way SLI GTX-570, 2-way SLI GTX-580 1.5GB or 2-way SLI GTX-580...

    A new NEC professional IPS? PA series

    Thanks a lot! That will guide my search for new calibration hardware. So you mean that it is possible to access 3D calibration even if by software on the european models, is that correct? NEC apparently doesn't know what KISS means in their product line :) That's a good point. I could be in...

    A new NEC professional IPS? PA series

    Great thread! Two questions to help me decide on my next monitors: - I'm going for a multi-monitor setup. As I don't need - and maybe can't afford - having 3x PA241Ws (3rd one would help on gaming and TV-watching) or 2x their bigger brothers, maybe I would have to pair them with cheaper...

    Choosing a 30" monitor

    Dell x HP: If you need many inputs (HDMI, etc) then the Dell is the one. The ZR30W has only DVI inputs to be connected to a computer (if you're planning to hook to the PC only then it doesn't matter). I would be biased to the HP for gaming purposes, though. Nec's 30" is quite expensive... If...

    Zowie Celeritas mechanical keyboard

    So, I inquired the local hardware store and they quickly added the Celeritas to their catalog @ ~US$140. I'm between this keyboard and a Filco (maybe both? :D), therefore I'd appreciate if someone could comment on 1) what type of keycap inscriptions? Laser etched? 2) What modded keycaps would...

    Replace my G15 with another G-series, or go mechanical?

    I really went to the shop decided to buy it (I thought it had as a similar feeling than the D. Edge) but to me it was a bit disapointing to me. I think that I could live with the Dinovo Edge since it has a relatively good scissors mechanism (for its price it better should...), but don't get me...

    2560x1600 30" LCD vs. 2560x1440 27" LCD

    nitromullet, I know what you're saying. Actually, I was just investigating Nec's german website to find a refurb section but didn't manage to find it. Try to find out which guarantees does Nec give you, if they assure you'll receive a working monitor I'd say go for it (that's what I'd do). You...

    Replace my G15 with another G-series, or go mechanical?

    I loved my Di Novo Edge for its shortcut able keys (and especially the convenient track pad), but I'm going back to a mechanical since typing is much better on them (I've been disappointed with every keyboard since the inception of rubber dome ones and kept my old 90's keyboard at home for...

    Agreed. IF it was supposed to be classified it as a palm rest I'd be passing it away. I never liked palm rests but I might consider using one since my wrists are close to collapsing :mad:

    2560x1600 30" LCD vs. 2560x1440 27" LCD

    I wouldn't think twice to get a 3090WQXi for a similar price as the U3010. The reason I don't even consider this screen is its price, around $2500 in Switzerland, whilst the 2690WUXi2 is priced similarly to U3010 at $1300. Being the 2690WUXi2 a 16:10 screen, it's taller than 27"s, I would...
