    Samsung LN40B650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color $989 Shipped

    I have a 630 that I got at a BB B&M for 999. It works really well as a computer monitor from my experience so far. That's at HD resolution.

    Just cancelled my WoW sub, torn between ...

    that only matters if he wants variety. seriously it is all about balance. i was raiding ulduar until i recently quit WOW only because i got bored with it. I still have friends, and go out, etc. I look at MMOs as any other game, and frankly, what else are you supposed to do with your free time...

    Scanner? Never used this technology before. How to please?

    Adobe Acrobat or FoxIT have the ability to directly scan something and turn it into a PDF, which is useful for documentation.

    Best pre-built/ISV vendor for AutoCAD workstations?

    the 4850 series should also work for you if you don't need 2 procs, but want a quad core (they're i7 systems)...

    Best pre-built/ISV vendor for AutoCAD workstations?

    you should look at BOXX, they have some awesome stuff and they make workstations just for people like you. BTW, what video card do you want, the price ranges for the FX series vary immensly. Also, you should consider a fast primary drive (with the software and OS) such as a 10K RPM maybe...

    Shipping my rig from coast to coast?

    Yeah I was going to say box each of the components (HDDs, cards, large cpu cooler, etc.) seperately and maybe put them in the same box, so you don't have to worry about seperate shipments. Also drain and pack the water cooler seperatly if applicable. don't bother taking out the cpu and mobo...

    Fire Department Responds To Nuclear Reactor PC Case

    He was using Americium I think... you can look it all up on the google, search for "nuclear boy scout" he did some pretty impressive stuff though, and his ultimate goal was to build a breeder reactor.

    Wacom tablet acting REALLY strange (I've tried everything!)

    please don't connect yourself to an electrical outlet. there's too much potential for something to go wrong here... i doubt it has anything to do with static. you probably ground your desk everytime you touch it, and if you don't feeling it, there's nothing there that's a problem. when...

    What MMO is good. I own WoW and WAR, thinking Lineage II?

    I know Guildwars gets really good reviews, I just haven't played it.Steam is having a sale on MMOs ATM, so it might be a good chance to try out some of this stuff. Also, I generally try to stay away from NCSoft stuff since it's usually around for a few years (at most) and then gets shut down...

    Photoshop CS4 soooo slooooooow

    For sure. I just need to save up to buy a new computer sometime soon, but since CS3 works great, I'm pretty happy.

    Wacom tablet acting REALLY strange (I've tried everything!)

    LOL yeah the metal desk is exactly your problem :) The metal table is messing with the electric fields that the tablet uses to talk to the pen. It's probably bouncing the signal off the table and then back onto the pen, and it's confusing the tablet with conflicting data, since the pen is...

    Wacom tablet acting REALLY strange (I've tried everything!)

    also you can try these guys if you get no where (probably a long shot) I've had some luck in the past talking to the people listed in the WHOIS info, since sometimes it can get you directly into the company and not into a call center. Administrative Contact: Stone, Paul pstone at...

    Photoshop CS4 soooo slooooooow

    Well I mean the computer is old (P4 3.4 GHz, 2GB RAM, 7800 GS, etc.) but i mean it shouldn't be as bad as it is. I'm going to try CS3 again and maybe that'll take care of this whole thing.

    Wacom tablet acting REALLY strange (I've tried everything!)

    Yeah he did :P He did that too :) I'd say it's just your mobo being a mofo. Is anything else being goofy? Again I'd say call Wacom and see if they can help you. Maybe you have your sensitivity set weird... You can also try installing chipset drivers for your motherboard if you didn't have...

    Wacom tablet acting REALLY strange (I've tried everything!)

    Go into device manager and uninstall your USB devices that it lists. When you reboot it should reload the driver.

    Halo 3 “Killer” Goes To Prison

    OK so I reread what you said, and still don't get how it relates to what I had said previously. Either way, this discussion has gotten way too preachy (partly my fault) so I'm going to take myself out of it.

    Huh, what are you talking about? Read what I said, read what you said, and see why I'm confused.

    Wacom tablet acting REALLY strange (I've tried everything!)

    Did you call Wacom? Do you have a wireless mouse? Maybe check your BIOS for something weird. Does it do the weird stuff in all programs or just one? Totally uninstall the USB driver AND the tablet (driver, make sure there's nothing in the device manager, and any software Wacom puts...

    Photoshop CS4 soooo slooooooow

    Hey all, I decided to check out Photoshop CS4 and I found that it really is much slower than I would expect. I was able to run CS3 without a problem. I check my scratch disks and made sure I had a decent amount of memory allocated, but it was still really laggy. Any thoughts?

    Halo 3 “Killer” Goes To Prison

    If you think about what you're going to do, reason it out, and plan it, it's premeditated, thus 1st degree. If the state decides it's going to put someone to death, then that's premeditation, since they've thought about it and decided to do that. If i'm not mistaken, the kid did what he did in a...

    Halo 3 “Killer” Goes To Prison

    I'm not drawing a comparison between the criminal and the disabled person. I'm pointing out that both people have no benefit overall, and both are places your tax dollars are being spent. Why is it better to keep one alive over the other, aside from moral or personal reasons? I myself wouldn't...

    Halo 3 “Killer” Goes To Prison

    The day we decide whether or not people live or die is based on how much tax money they will use is the day we start down a slippery slope. When do we say, "Ok this person over here is totally disabled, physically and mentally, and is costing the government and/or insurance companies...

    Halo 3 “Killer” Goes To Prison

    what do you suggest we do with him instead? I don't necessarily disagree with you if he's all there mentally, although I didn't get the sense that this was the case... Again, as I said above, this assumes that he doesn't have any kind of mental illness. Why anyone who doesn't have a...

    So, I got hacked and found the guy....

    It doesn't actually sound like he did anything to your account...I would probably just steer clear of a hacker in another country. It's probably impossible to get even with him, and you'll probably be on the losing end of the internet pissing contest (not a personal judgement, but you don't know...

    Making my Wifi adapter into a router

    Make sure to protect yourself though. I don't know that much about AdHoc networks other than that they're easy for people to jump onto your computer without you being aware of it.

    I admit it...some games scare me big time and I love it! Way better than movies.

    Silent Hill 1+2 were scary, 3 was weird, but not quite as much of a "WTF IS GOING ON?!" type of experience since there was more of the story available. I know that 1 was such a classic that sealed originals sell for a lot on ebay (sometimes over $100). System Shock I still haven't been able...

    3ds Max Help

    Honestly the scanline renderer with radiosity is pretty powerful, and gives some nice effects without having to play around with more advanced renderers, such as Mental Ray, Brazil (which I love), or VRay. It's also a bit faster than the others, although I'm not sure if it takes advantage of...

    Suggestions for my first i7 build

    I agree about the sound card. I'm thinking about building a similar setup, but using 265s or 275s (or maybe just one 295), but I know that I'm not going to be buying a sound card right away. Onboard sound has gotten a lot better in recent years, so I'd give it a shot and maybe save yourself...
