    Philips 40BDM4037U

    Linus Techtips just reviewed this monitor. It seems like it would be a good replacement for a multi-monitor setup, with the 4x 1080p quadrant display mode. Does anyone have this monitor yet? Can you comment on the picture quality of this particular display compared to a typical econo IPS...

    Asus P5K-E and Quad Core temps

    I've got a B3 Xeon 3210, those Q6600 clones that run 2.13GHz stock. All this stuff sits in a original P180 black with the Ninja Scythe, full sized and a 120mm pushing directly into the Scythe. There's also a modest X1950pro in there, stock clocks. When I just built this setup I observed high...

    Where is Radeon 2400 AGP?

    Does anybody know when the Radeon 2400 AGP will hit stores? I have an Athlon XP 1800+ with some SiS ATX board, and a lot of DDR2700 lying around and I just recently ordered a HTPC case for $52. I'm planning to just stick a Sapphire-made ATI 650 PCI in there with a 2400 AGP to handle the HD...

    Will the BenQ FP94VW accept 1080p?

    I understand it is 19" and can only display 1440x900 physical pixels. But the FP222WH is known to accept 1080p and scale down to its native resolution of 1680x1050. Yes I know that's actually stretched from 16:9 to 16:10, but it's not that noticeable. This downscale from 1080p (1920x1080) to the...

    nForce 3 onBoard Realtek audio died?

    Motherboard rejects power supply?

    I have had a Antec SmartBlue 350W power supply for about 3.5 years now. It always worked fine. Perhaps not the quietest. I have opened it up and replaced one of the fans with a quieter one and hooked up both to a fan controller. The problems started about 2 months ago. It's off and on...

    Arctic Silver Alumina Epoxy Argument

    Me and my friend are having this argument whether or not you can use Arctic Silver's Alumina Adhesive to glue a Crystal Orb to a ti500. He seems to have done it wrong and it didn't turn out so well for him so he's saying that the adhesive is "NOT DESIGNED TO WORK" with graphic chipsets, such as...
