Having been through two RatPadz GS mouse pads I can confidently assert that you DO NOT want one. True - when new, they are the most slippery surface you could ever ask for, but they do not last for long. Not only does the surface wear out on the pad, causing high friction, but they alsoi wear...

Entech of Taiwan is "Powerstrip" made by. Download it, you will. Custom resolution, create you will. Happy you will be.

You just answered your own question. Resolution > 1800 mode = not supported. Remember, just because your PC will run a resolution (Hell, I have a mode of 960 x 540 programmed on mine) that does not mean it is supported by a game. i.e. you might like 1280 x 1024 more than 1280 x 960 (True 4:3)...

Except that by that time, the EXACT card make and model number will no longer be available. It might have a street price of $99 by then - but you require the EXACT same card - and I doubt severely you will be able to get one. Maybe trawling ebay or something - but you will be competing against...

After changing it you most probably would NOT notice a difference. However, if you put identical rigs side by side, and ran one display on the D-SUB connector, and one on a DVI input you might be able to tell the difference when comparing still images. It's worth noting that very few video...

Here's mine. Super quiet box. The hum from the 5.1 system at idle is louder than the PC. :) Here's the main section of the box. Here's the modified nForce4 Ultra chipset cooler. It's actually half of a Thermaltake Volcano 7+ all-copper CPU heatsink. I had to split the fins to allow the...

I have Gigabyte X800XL - with passive cooling via two heatpipes and massive heatsinks. Temperatures are well higher than yours, but it runs beatifully. Don't sweat it.

That is rubbish. You clearly do not understand the relationship between screen resolution and screen refresh rate. At super high resolutions, it's unlikely your monitor accepts anything higher than 60 Hz as a maximum refresh rate. On an LCD it is mental, because no one has a screen with those...

Thanks people. I appreciate your input. Pentium M is total overkill for this application. In fact the existing 650MHz Athlon is probably overkill too! The VIA EPIA 800 looks like the perfect solution though. Problem is, I searched my suppliers (I'm in New Zealand) and I can't find a mini-ITX...

I've just had my latest power bill, and it's atrocious! I have two PCs running 24/7 as well as 2 laptops in the house. The laptops I don't care about, they are super low power already, and my Athlon64 Gaming box is going to spend a bit of time switched off. However, I have an ancient Athlon...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that NF3 chipset simply blows compared to NF4 Ultra.

Philps 109P 19" aperture Grill. Very nice. High Refresh rates at high resolutions is what you need. 100Hz at 1280 x 1024 should be your minimum. You want at least 75Hz at 1600 x 1200. The thing is, most people don't optimise their refresh rates for each resolution, so even though the 7800...

I would prefer to see a Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 motherboard in there. I have that very same hard drive, and you need to be aware that in idle mode it is very quiet, but when the disc is working, it's quite noisy. I'm planning on replacing it, as my system is utterly silent, except for that...

It must suck to live in a country where "customer service" is interpreted to mean (by the vendor) as "customer dis-service." Here in New Zealand, customer service is just that - actual, honest-to-God service. What you're describing here as "amazing service" is what I refer to "normal...

Mobius. You come across as a pain on the DBB and that's fine. You won't be one here. Thanks. -Stress

As with all the previous attempts at a similar solution: they are destined for the dustbin of history. There is no valid reason to produce two video cards for a single machine - there never has been and never will be. SLI is pure wank value - nothing more. Dual GPUs (and triple, quadruple...

For all you people who think humans can't detect more than 24 FPS - or even 60 FPS.... WHAT A COMPLETE CROCK! Personally, I can detect a flicker at 70 Hz (But not at 72Hz). Yes - that's refresh rate - not FPS - but the principle applies. Look - the limit of human perception is at or around...
