    Single U2713HM or Dual U2414H?

    I am looking specifically for a IPS monitor that is PWM-free and has 90 degree pivot as a stand adjustment. Pivot is important because I would spending 1/4 to 1/3 doing work where the vertical orientation definitely helps me do the work faster. My projected budget for the monitor(s) will be...

    Turning Gaming Parts to a HTPC/Living Room PC

    I'm getting a little older, not old yet. Only 26. :rolleyes: However, I am transitioning away from computer activity that requires me to actively sit at a desk.

    AMD Catalyst 12.8 is Now Available

    I just went ahead and redid a clean manual uninstall and re-install. So far, so good with the 12.8 and crashes thus far. Still get occasional FF slowdowns even with hardware acceleration off.Better than a out of the blue reset.

    Corsair Obsidian Series 550D Mid-Tower Case Review @ [H]

    Why is there such a massive difference between CPU temperature readings on HW monitor between the Raven and 600T?
