I just hooked up a Hansol H711s LCD display. As usual, I still prefer CRTs for image quality. But, using this 17" Hansol LCD at 1280x1024 is nice. All of the text is crisp and clean as expected. Comparing this with some Sony variants, I think it is just as good. The image quality improves...

Why is there a limitation on the amount of characters that can be used in a title for submitted news? Or is this just my imagination and two of the three most recently submitted articles have the titles cut off at the same place because of poor spelling?

Has anyone tried this software out? http://www.lycoris.com/ I'm going to try the arduous task of downloading the three discs and see what happens.

I've been updating my price list for KT333 boards and I'm amazed at how different the prices end up being for similar board. Nevertheless, at the present, Gigabyte and MSI are priced very close to each other, with a rebate on the MSI boards, so they're $3.00 less. Asus is terribly high at the...

I just saw some people that ordered each the new WD2000BB drive from computers4sure online store. First, I think the fact that no one has these products would prevent me from one. Secondly, this online store is advertising a product (the JB) version when it doesn't exist. Last, I suppose...

We have a couple of threads going that explain who we are (perhaps not as detailed as some would like, but that is ok), and they have become adulterated with other important and interesting topics at hand. What if we compiled a page of some of the members that showed their avatar, start date...
