    New Asus VW246H looks different from older one

    I've been using an Asus VW246H monitor for about eight months and snagged another last week while it was on sale. I have the two side by side and have noticed there is a considerable difference in appearance between the two. Both monitors have been reset to factory settings through the OSD...

    Why should I wait?

    I am this (|----|) close to pulling the trigger and driving to Microcenter today to buy all the parts I need to build a new PC. The only thing that's hanging me up is the impending release of Bulldozer and Sandy Bridge-E. I have my sights set on the i5-2500K which I can get from MC for $180. I...

    Best deal on PS3?

    My dad is looking to compliment a home theater setup at our summer house that we rent out with a PS3, mostly because of its Blu-ray capabilities. The guy doesn't like to pay sales tax or shipping so he sent me to the internet to find him a deal. Anyone got any suggestions?

    More RAM or hold out?

    I've been using the same rig that I put together for about three years now and it's been in pretty good condition besides a few setbacks. A little over a year ago I screwed something up and was left with only one stick of 512 DDR where I used to have two. My specs are: MSI K8N Neo Platinum...

    Problem with TV

    My dad bought a 27" Panasonic HDTV (4:3, don't ask) a few years ago and I've noticed that even though it says it supports either 480p or 1080i, the 1080i image is stretched and cropped. When running our digital cable receiver into the TV's HD component inputs, the image at the top looks normal...

    Xbox 360 Woes

    I have saved up $400+ for an Xbox 360, and I would be good to go except for these stupid rumors about a PGR3 bundle in August. Some sources say August, some say Xmas, and all will concede that it is only a rumor. How much validity would you guys say this rumor actually has?

    Buy a 360 online or at an outlet?

    What 360 games?

    I am seriously considering buying a 360 in the very near future, but I'm not sure what games to get. One game that I absolutely must have is GRAW, and I am considering PD0 but I'm not sure. I also wanted to get NCAA 07 but I'm hearing a lot of crap about it that's really turning me off. I'm...

    Need advice

    I'm making a little bit of money this summer before I go away to college and I'm having some trouble deciding what to do with it. On one hand, I've been having some trouble with my PC (long story short I only have 512 MB of RAM now and to fix it I would have to buy a new motherboard) and I need...

    Upgrades (more replacements) on my PC . . . need opinions

    Pretty simple: I need a new PSU

    I've been rocking a 350w Antec PSU that came with my case for about two years and it had a good run but it's starting to scare me. I've run into a whole bunch of memory and motherboard problems in the past few months and before I go out and buy a new motherboard I want to make sure that my PSU...

    Questions about X-Fi Xtrememusic

    First off I just want to say that this thing sounds AWESOME. I was skeptical about the hype and was kind of worried that my speakers wouldn't be able to take full advantage of them (Logitech Z-5300's). Anyway, on to my questions. I've read a bunch of reviews and understand that the X-Fi...

    Need to buy a socket 754 motherboard

    My MSI K8N Neo Platinum has overstayed its welcome, and RMA's and refurb's aren't doing me any good. I need to buy a NEW socket 754 with a decent chipset. I wouldn't like to pay more than $70.

    Possible to hook up Xbox 360 to Viewsonic VX2025wm?

    I'm planning on getting an Xbox 360 (or a PS3) sometime during the next year while I'm off at college. VGA boxes usually produce subpar image quality and I've seen the 360 really shine on an HDTV. Is there anyway to reproduce this quality on my monitor?

    Rear speaker solutions

    I have a set of Logitech Z-5300's and never had to set them up in my room at home until now. At first I just set up all five speakers in front of me but I figured it was a waste of money if I wasn't utilizing the 5.1. I have tried placing the speakers behind me on top of boxes and it's working...

    X-Fi worth the upgrade?

    I have a Sound Blaster Audigy and Logitech Z-5300's. I know that neither of those components are top-notch pieces of electronics, which is why I'm wondering if I'll notice a substantial difference if I swap the Audigy for an X-Fi. I know my speakers won't be able to take full advantage of the...

    Wireless mouse and keyboard have met their end

    Two and a half years ago I got the Logitech MX Duo for Christmas (Wireless Elite Keyboard and MX700). They had a decent run, but they've always kind of bugged me with some noticeable lag and the batteries are a pain. I'd like to replace them with something nice, and I'm not ruling wireless out...

    First RMA

    Tomorrow I'm sending my MSI K8N Neo Platinum back to MSI in California after having it for two years. I've never RMA'd anything before so does anyone have any pointers or words of wisdom? Also how long should I expect to wait between shipping it off and getting it back?

    Here's my situation

    Two years ago I put together a pimp rig (1GB PC3200 DDR, Athlon 64 3200+, Geforce 6800 GT, the works) and up until now it has given me no problems. Now two of the memory slots on the motherboard have given out, leaving me with only 512MB of RAM. I've finally allowed myself to realize that the...

    Problem with memory slots

    A few months ago I tinkered with my RAM and as a result I'm only running half the amount of RAM I was. I have an MSI K8N Neo Platinum with two sticks of Crucial DDR400 512 MB, and three RAM slots on the motherboard. After tinkering I turned on my computer and the mobo beeped with no other...
