    *New* Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Screenshots

    i'm not crazy about all the artistic embellishments that are in discussion over first person shooters, like forced perspective and motion blur. It seems that with all the improvements in lighting these days there a lot of issues that are raised regarding what is represented on screen, but...

    Silverstone ST75ZF vs PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750

    hmm, i'd get whichever is cheaper. If they are both the same price, I'd get the silverstone simply because I don't really dig the shiny copper case of the PCP&C. otherwise, they are both very high quality, though I think the silverstone zeus line has a better reputation than the PCP&C...

    DX10 & The PSU Of the Future

    it's quite obvious that the industry is moving in the direction of more power consumption. It's been inevitable since PC's were born. More performance requires more power. Devices will get hotter, power supplies will need to be bigger, and thermal management will need to be more creative to fit...

    FS: IBM Thinkpad T42 14.1" / Antec Aria system

    Yeah the HDD shock detector is nice, there is a windows utility which lets you monitor the laptop's position relative to the horizon in real time, it's like a built-in gyroscope. Also, the intel wireless b/g card has antennas plugged into it that are wired to the edges of the screen for really...

    Silverstone ST75ZF review

    Eh, what? In his review he states that it has some of the best line regulation he's ever seen and for the record, I believe the scope readings show ripple/noise, NOT line regulation. Line regulation is how the voltage changes at different loads. I think.

    Fortron Epsilon 600W vs Fortron Epsilon 700W

    oklahoma wolf explained the difference: 44A on the 600w and 50A on the 700w (combined 12v rating). Do you need more than 44A of 12v power?

    Does anybody here own a Zippy PSU?

    I have their 500w and I love it maybe if I ever decide to buy a case and go silent I'll either put a new fan in or buy a new psu, but for the money I can't think of anything better. PCP&C is up there, but double the price.

    Widescreen or not?

    First, my laptop screen is 14.1", and I don't really have a problem with scrolling (1400x1050) second, 17" desktop lcd's are almost all 1280x1024. a seventeen inch shows more website than a 19" widescreen. The samsung 21" widescreen is 1050 pixels tall, a hair more website than a 17" and the...

    17" vs. 19"

    it's bigger no other reason to get it really also, because the resolutions are the same, a good 19" lcd is not that much more than a good 17" lcd I got a 17" purely because it was a little cheaper and I sit no more than two feet from my screen anyway. maybe if it was farther from my...

    3007 vs 24T input lag comparison photos

    first thing I noticed too. but then again, this thread isn't about picture quality. just one harmless question...how do you know that the difference is the fault of the two different displays, and not the video card?

    LCD's vs CRT's

    the only reason to get an lcd is if size or weight or aesthetics are more important to you than anything else. I just bought an lcd because i'm moving a lot recently and my 21" trinitron just isn't practical.

    Which CRT is the better of the two?

    I can only run 1200x1600 @75Hz on my 21" trinitron tube...12x16 @ 85Hz and/or higher resolutions are too blurry for my tastes, and at 75Hz it's not too flickery, just in my peripheral vision, far less bothersome than blurry image of 85Hz...so I may just have a bad tube or really sensitive eyes...
