Hmm.. Interesting looking speakers. I don't own a pair, but thought I'd throw in my opinion. Judging by the looks and basic description I wouldn't expect much in terms of sound quality. Most of the money most looks like it went into digital interfacing, wireless tech, and apple licensing (yes...
Which way to go... I had some NHT speakers die on me and I am really not willing to work to get them repaired.
So I am currently considering between two setups that I am looking to buy used. I currently have a 5.1 integrated amp/receiver that I am able to use. I live in a small apartment so...
I have been using laptops for my main machines the past couple of years and I have been itching to have an actual desktop machine again. Sadly, my budget this time around isn't too great. After doing a bit of looking around the only reasonable system I have been able to fit into my price range...
So currently I have a pair of NHT VS-2 speakers each with 2x 5.25" drivers and a 1" dome tweeter. I can't find much information about them anywhere, but they have been pretty decent pair speakers for me. The bass can be a little lacking, but hard to ask for much out of a 2.0 setup. Recently...
Pidzej,
A couple of weeks I was debating the same thing. I use my computer primarily for programming, then websurfing/text, then movies, then games. I spent a lot of time debating going between 2xASUS V226H, 1x2408wfp, 1xU2410, or 2x 2209WA.
I ended up going for 2 x 2209WA monitors and...
@Op,
You are going to get a lot of mixed feedback on this forum as you can already see by the responses below you. A lot of it will come down to what you value more as each monitor offers different things. If I were you I would ask myself these questions:
1.) Am I going to be looking at this...
Bacano,
I am actually in the same boat as you as I am looking to get a dual display setup and well 2x$500 is wayy to much.
The displays I currently have my eye on are:
ASUS VW266H 25.5" 1920x1200 - $250
Pros: Can be had for $250, no tax, free shipping, 1920x1200, 3 year warranty, and...
I was hoping that someone with a Dell monitor could answer this for me.
1.) Are the 4-port hubs on the monitors "powered" or do they rely on the computer to power it? In other words, can you connect devices that require a high amount of power such as external hard drives?
2.) Can you...
Like said before, use a DVI-to-HDMI cable. However, I did want to clarify that the reason for using this is for how poorly most HDTVs handle a VGA connection. Many only support them to a lesser resolution, don't center the image properly, or produce good color. This has nothing to do with VGA...
Oh, and for changing the look I would recommend CandyBar 3 ($) for icon and dock customization. I have had problems myself though finding a good program to change bars and window frames.

I was hoping that someone would be able to help me out. I have tried searching around the web, but have been coming up empty handed. I am trying to understand how much mobile web browsing is effected by processor speed and browser architecture vs connection speed. I have seen direct phone to...
The 2407 Dell will give you a better viewing angle and better color representation as it has a PVA panel. This is a big plus if you are watching your movies from a location other than your desk chair (like a bed, bean bag, or recliner close by) where your viewing angle will be less optimal...
so the 60Hz has less input lag and would be a better choice? I mean would be great for me as it is cheaper. I just assumed the faster response time of the 55 would make up for the difference.
I have been considering getting a new monitor setup recently. I plan to hook up my Macbook Pro and my Xbox 360. My plans include:
-basic school work (internet, papers, powerpoint etc.)
-movies (DVDs, Hulu, NetFlix, etc.)
-console gaming and occasional PC gaming
It would be nice to have...
To add to Tytalus's answer the cin command does not take in the value as an integer, but as a character (ASCII) and assigns the int to the ascii value. So the first code you posted will work if (value == 49 || value == 50).
A simple way to debug your particular case for not understanding why...
Despite what everyone above is saying about Monster Cable. I think its a great deal, while Monster Cable is over priced there is no doubt that it is at least on par or slightly better than other generic cables at this price and it comes with a lifetime warranty. My problem is with 1saleaday.com...
I normally am a huge costco fan, but in this case it is really out of the question to me. They only set the elite version of the console for a price of nearly $500 + tax. $150 after tax above the cost of a retail elite from an online merchant is not worth it for me.
So as the title states I am in the market to buy an Xbox 360. I first was considering a 20GB microsoft-certified refurb for $249.99 /w Shadowrun at newegg, but after I mulled it over for a day or so I decided against it due to the seemingly high failure rate of the older consoles. I dont really...

So I am looking at building an all-in-one media server and HTPC. To explain further here are the goals I want this system to accomplish.
1. Ability to play/rip DVDs
2. Ability to play DivX, Xvid, wmv, mpg, etc..
3. Ability to stream Video on Demand (from local HDD or DVD) to LAN
4. Shared...
Right now I have a Linksys Wireless 802.11g Router (The GL Linux version) with DD-WRT loaded on it. I am using it in a dorm room, however, I have many periodic problems with the internet that I used to not have when using wireless at home or when plugged-in. The connection just drops at times...
If you are looking at a smart phone I would go with either a Treo 755 or a Motorola Q. Sprint sadly has a limited selection; if it was a GSM carrier you could atleast have the option of buying unlocked. As far as deciding which phone you like from there I would look at the interface and decide...
Overall, I like the Blackbird 002. I would put it over an Alienware or XPS system. So this is what voodoo would do if they have money plus R&D...
As far as the pros go:

-factory watercooling system
-HP will...
Fosill, I just recieved my MBP 2.4 matte screen a couple of days ago and I thought I would throw in my 2 cents too..
This laptop is fast.. Everything loads speedy. Currently I have OS X and XP in Boot Camp. Setting up XP was flawless and easy. Drivers loaded well. Keyboard, Trackpad, and...
So after receiving no answer from Apple on this question. Do the new Macbook Pro's have perpendicular recording (PMR) hard drives, and does anyone know the band/models they use for their hard drives?
Thanks!
The video card is a PCIe, and RAM is 1GB Corsair 675Mhz DDR2 5400. I dont plan on using SLi or Crossfire. And what motherboard/chipsets will allow me to use the prescott?
So the motherboard on my Prescott system died the other week, and I am really unsure what to do. I don't really want to deal with the RMA process (too long & have no idea where paperwork is at) and I am not even sure if it is still under warranty. So now comes time to replace it...
However, I...
Wow. Why must everyone bash AGP upgrades?
Not everyone is in the same situation as you where are PCIe upgrade mobo is readily available. For example, in order for me to upgrade to PCIe I would have to get a new processor, mobo, RAM, video card, power supply, and possibly cooling. In order to...
I have never really kept up with mobile technology since I really never had a need to, but wow it is hard to find information. Right now I am in the market for a convertible tablet PC for school. I don't really need it this year, but I am thinking of getting one now to use on the long plane...
Went to Best Buy at 1:00pm today seeing if there was anything left. Managed to snag the display model 22" Westy for $175. It is amazing. Best of all, I didn't have to wait at all to get it.
I currently have a 9800XT, and looking for a cheap upgrade to last me through the summer before I change over to PCIe. I've been out of the loop for awhile, and don't really want to waste money if I don't see much gain to upgrade to a new midrange card. What is the best bang for the buck out...
My 9800 XT came with a 3-year warranty.. maybe they are getting cheap. I ended up RMAing it once, and ATi was actually really good took only about 2 weeks and they sent it back with overnight shipping.
