I bought this one.... http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16820223073 .... seems to be out of stock. It works but the quality control is not that good. I wish somebody made a QUALITY 3.5" or 5.25" front panel with USB 2.0 & 3.0, Firewire, ESATA, multi-card reader, fan...

Ummmm how do you get that from what I said. I was simply trying to show the rich (well mega-rich mainly) get more from the government than the poor. And the system is a bit "more-fair" if you can afford it. aka afford a lawyer. I'm not a "take-from-rich--->give-to-poor" guy. In fact I...

Rich use more Public services than the poor. Absolutely correct! The rich take advantage of, and use far more government services than the rich. And the $685 BILLION used to fund the defense department is being spent on poor people and/or protecting the assets/rights of the poor. Ummmmm...

HP printers I've had a HP Laserjet 6Lxi since the mid/late 90's. I've gone through maybe seven toner cartridges over the years (last 2 refurb/re-filled originals) and it's still going strong. AFAIK HP laser printer quality seems to be inversely proportional to the size of its driver.

Yep that's it.

Coke with sugar The Costcos here in AZ is selling cases (24 glass bottles) of real sugar coke for $17.50. Made in Mexico. Checked the ingredients and Sugar is listed right after water. I almost bought it, but I don't drink sodas anymore unless I'm at a restaurant.

I'm really liking my HP ZR24w. It's bright as hell, but I turned down the RGB colors from 255 to 170 and dropped brightness to 10 using the OSD controls and it looks great. My 6+ year old (referb when I bought it) CRT monitor was so dim I think I may be used to a dimmer monitor. ?!? From...

From linked article ..."Samsung Unveils the Syncmaster 90 Series, Another Stand-out from the Pack" ... Hmmmmm 2490 model number. NEC's 90-series come to mind?

Matte finish. And it's bright. I have the brightness set at 10 (1-100 scale) right now.

OK. Mr. Wishy-Washy finally pulled the trigger and got the HP ZR24w from CostCentral.com Pretty damn good deal. http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/HP_ZR24w/VM633A8ABA/11108332/ Total was $405.36 incl shipping (no tax). Ordered on Sunday afternoon. Got the Fedex tracking info on Tuesday...

Close. 1am and it's still 93 degrees and 42% RH.

Very Close Very close to pulling the trigger on this. Finally. http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/HP_ZR24w/VM633A8ABA/11108332/ $405.36 total w/tax/shipping, which is about $48 cheaper than the HP web site. Any issues with CostCentral as I've never used them before. Thanks again for all...

It's really hot. http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/arizona/surprise-2502669/ Temps falling to 109 by next week!

Will check out TVs TOO. I'll check out some TVs and see if anything interest me, but 42" would be way too big for my desk. I will probably have to research some 27" TV-as-monitor threads, etc. And I'd have a decent TV either way.

sigh. Sigh. Seems that the only "quality" monitors between 24 and 30" are close to/over $1000 and are only 25.5" anyways. I was even seriously considering getting a Dell Ultrasharp 2709 (VA panel) as it's large and has plenty of inputs/features but it's no longer made/sold by Dell. You click...

Wide vs. Standard gamut Wide vs. Standard gamut. It seems that wide gamut is only good for "photo editing pros" who have color managed apps and such. While everybody else is stuck with over saturated colors and sun-burned people. Overblown concern or something else to consider? Seems the...

More info. Thanks again for all the good info. I'm actually more interested in the LP2475 because of it added inputs and willing to pay for it. But it came out in 2008 so I'd like newer/better if I can find it. The Dell Ultrasharp 2410 looks like it has the most features so far, and it's...

Feedback Thanks for all the replies. I'm afraid LunarMist is correct in saying the industry "has gone down the crapper to 16:9". MBA big-wig: "It's cheaper." Engineer: "But it looks like crap. Has less features. And build to last.....3 weeks." MBA bw: "But we'll be favorably positioned...

It's been a while since I've seen a thread on LCD monitors so I'll start a new one. Over the next several months I will be upgrading my ancient computer and monitor. I'll be upgrading my monitor first as I can simply plug it in and enjoy it. Usage will be Web surfing, Light Gaming (mostly...

Lower Price $1299 - $515 = $784 now + $13 shipping.

From the article: "The revamped Colossus LT series Solid State Drives come in capacities up to 1TB. Unfortunately it comes with the price tag 400 times that of a 1TB hard disk" and: "1TB models will set the end user back around $US4000." So what I want to know is.....where can you buy a 1TB...

Mandelbrot Fractal zoomed in 200+ orders of magnitude: http://vimeo.com/1908224 Took over a month to render according to it's creator. Very cool.

OK, that's good to know. I've used the 335 before for my brothers build and assumed the 690 was of the same quality. If quality is lower in the 335 than $20 might be worth the upgrade to the 690? Thanks for the heads up.

updated again. Well it's $1062.91 with a HD5850 and 650 watt power supply. If there is a cheaper Power Supply, that is the SAME OR BETTER quality I can swap it out, but don't want to go to a lower QUALITY power supply no matter what the cost savings. Lower wattage is fine if it won't be a...

That 1.5 TB drive is a 5400 rpm model I believe. Space isn't really a concern as 200 GB is probably more than enough. I spec'd the 1 TB drive as it should be a touch faster than a smaller drive. I'll take a look at the Antec 200. The case I spec'd currently has free shipping so that helps...

Which SSD? Perhaps a small 30-60 GB one for O/S and a few games, then cut HD down to 500 GB? Thanks for quick response.

You guys know your stuff, so I appreciate ALL the helpful comments you have for me. Thanks in advance. I'm helping a friend, who is very, Very, VERY, tired of Dell crap, build a new gaming system. I've included some Combo deals to lower cost, as well as included items that have no shipping...

I was trying to be funny and/or sarcastic and failed. When my friend told me his iPhone would help him find a job, I thought that was the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard. I think the $1000 plus dollars he's spent on phone/monthly-fees has worsened his financial situation. But at least...

iphone The first thing my friend did when he lost his job was buy an iphone. He said it would help him find a job. 11 months later he's about to get another IT job, so I guess it helped him!?!?

IE 8 for WinXP now available on the "Windows Update" site. Let the flames begin................

Five or six years ago a friend of mine watched his boss FORMAT the production servers RAID array because he wasn't paying attention to which way the KVM switch was set.

I was thinking the same thing actually. I checked a few old boxes of parts as I was sure I had a bunch of those. Lo and behold.....nada. I must have trashed all the "really old crap" when I moved from CA to AZ. :(

You are right of course. I hate that he'd rather get a $20 cable then just buy a modern $50 printer.
