    Which IPS monitor? ASUS VS24AH-P vs. HP Pavilion 25xi?

    Hey y'all. Looking for a 24-25" IPS monitor. After a thorough search, I came across two monitors that might be of interest. ASUS VS24AH-P (24", 1920x1200, 5 ms response time, 80,000,000:1 ratio, HDMI/DVI/VGA inputs, slightly larger profile w/ less tilt/swivel) HP Pavilion 25xi (25"...

    Which 8GB USB flash drive? Patriot Xporter XT Boost or Mushkin Enhanced Mulholland?

    Looking around on NewEgg, I found two 8GB USB flash drives in similar price range and possibly spec-wise. I wanted to find a decent, fast flash drive for less than $20 shipped. Anyone know which, out of the two, is "better" ? Patriot Xporter XT Boost...

    Anyone have much info about the logitech g700 mice?

    Hey guys. I just got my G700 yesterday, and I was really able to truly play around with it today. First, thing I noticed was testing out the mouse in a FPS game. I immediately noticed something felt strangely different than the G500 and G9 that I had previously used. The mouse, when trying to...

    Is it me or is the Razer Mamba's tracking very strange and different?

    Indeed, I find the Razer Mamba to have a faster acceleration swipe speed than the G500. I believe as stated in the spec-wise, the 3.5G sensors do accelerate "faster" than the G500 sensor can. Speaking of mouse and window settings, I have all acceleration turned off and the windows sensitivity...

    Is it me or is the Razer Mamba's tracking very strange and different?

    I think it may just be the sensor itself. I've never used a Razer mice before, and this is the first time. My initial impressions are that: when I swipe the mouse, it isn't as smooth as the G9/G500. It feels like there is a heavy, heavy uneveness with the tracking as if something is pulling it...

    Is it me or is the Razer Mamba's tracking very strange and different?

    Hey everyone. I have used two corded gaming mouses in the past, in which I really liked the sensor and accuracy: Logitech G9 and the G500. However, what bugged me most was the fact they're corded mices, as the cord always got in my way. I really wanted a wireless mouse that was very...

    Which of these HD5850 cards should I get? (XFX vs Sapphire)

    Ah, I see. I have the Antec 900 case, which I believe has semi-decent airflow. If out of the three cards, I wanted to leave everything at stock speeds and do not plan on OCing at all, which card would be the best? Meaning if I just wanted the lowest temperatures & best performance at stock...

    Which of these HD5850 cards should I get? (XFX vs Sapphire)

    Ah, then, are the other 2 cards (non-reference XFX & non-reference sapphire) cooling systems a little bit inferior? Do they push back air INTO the case as opposed to OUT of the case? I don't plan on adding any aftermarket coolers or anything like that. I just wanted a card that can do fine with...

    I've posted this on some other forums, but m trying to find a HD 5850 card ASAP for building my system. I need to decide quick. Which card should I get? I managed to find some lower prices with the bing cashback on TigerDirect: XFX HD-585X-ZAFC - $276 XFX HD-585A-ZNBC - $298 Sapphire...

    Which DDR3-1600 is superior? G.SKILL PI 6GB CAS7 or Corsair Dominator 6GB?

    Just got off a conversation with a G.SKILL Tech on their forums. This is what they had to say about the RipJaws DDR3-1600 CL8 & CL9 vs PI CL7: "The RipJaws are just slightly lower in spec, but they would work great as well. The CL8 for example is one notch lower, so it would be good for normal...

    Please help me choose a PSU to be compatible with my parts (case, vid card, etc)

    I went with the TruePower 650W. It was only $2 more than the EarthWatts 750W, and from everyone's advice and reviews, it was reasonably better. Thank you everyone for the input, though!

    Which DDR3-1600 is superior? G.SKILL PI 6GB CAS7 or Corsair Dominator 6GB?

    Ah, so the difference in CPU core temps would be amazing for me... Anyhow, if you were in my case, would you get the G.SKILLs instead? The Corsairs come tomorrow, but I am planning on returning them (refusing UPS) as NewEgg will give me a full 100% refund w/ no restocking fee. I tried looking...

    Which DDR3-1600 is superior? G.SKILL PI 6GB CAS7 or Corsair Dominator 6GB?

    Ah, lowered temps on the CPU cores or lowered temps on the RAM? (or both)? That would be very nice... I should have went with the G.SKILLs then. 5 degrees would definitely make a difference if all I did was change a piece of hardware!

    Which DDR3-1600 is superior? G.SKILL PI 6GB CAS7 or Corsair Dominator 6GB?

    Thanks for the quick reply! I think it's possible to return it. NewEgg lets me "refuse" the UPS delivery person, so that they can send it back to them for a full refund. I was just wondering if I should stick to the Corsairs I will be getting or go with the G.SKILL. What I was trying to get...
