    Max Keyboard Nighthawk Mechanical Keyboard Group Buy

    I think he is pointing this out because it appears to be the exact same keyboard and monoprice is selling it for $130. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10850&cs_id=1080906&p_id=9181&seq=1&format=2 Perhaps it is somehow different though? Not sure. EDIT: didn't...

    iPhone 5 is officially the worlds most powerful phone

    If you are on a shared plan, then upgrading every year isn't nearly as expensive as you might thing. It's roughly $250 total premium over a 2 year contract period. Add a new line with your new phone, swap the phones on your old number, and ask verizon/att to put in a fake tablet id on the new...

    Apple 24" LED-backlit IPS Cinema Display with DisplayPort ($899)?

    That doesn't really explain it. He doesn't want the wide gamut that an IPS display would most likely display implying he probably doesn't want it for graphic/design stuff. an IPS display will only have more lag on it so is not really a good solution if you are wanting it for games - and from...

    Apple cinema or an alternative?

    Yes, apple is expected to announce/release/refresh whatever you want to call it, the remainder of their cinema display line the first week of January...The LED Cinema Display is only the first of what we can expect. I would think though that the rest are geared more towards high end use - so if...

    Apple cinema or an alternative?

    I actually just went through the same decision. I have a 15" unibody macbook pro and was looking for a 24-30" monitor to gain some real-estate. I had about $1800 set aside to be able to afford a nice monitor. With the student discount, I can get a 30" ACD for $1700 from apple - you can also...

    got my 24" sceptre today!

    Sceptres are not at all bad monitors. Very good for the money, actually. Their service is godawful. My old company almost exclusively resold these for installations - I went through hundreds for the time I was there. We have a few very, very bad experiences. Don't expect much help if you...

    I snagged a 3008WFP A02 off of ebay (NIB sealed) for $1000 after discounts last night... It is replacing the 24" samsung I grabbed at costco the other day thinking I could get away with a cheaper display. Sucks I wont even be able to use it though till later December as I'm still waiting...

    Manufacturers need to make a 1080p 26-27inch 16:9 IPS panel

    I guess I'm a tad confused then of what the op is wanting ;) No IPS monitor is intended for gaming...

    Manufacturers need to make a 1080p 26-27inch 16:9 IPS panel

    I'm ordering a NEC LCD2690 for $1004 after shipping from MacMall this evening actually... It's expensive but $1004 is a steal from all the other prices I can find.

    Apple 24" LED-backlit IPS Cinema Display with DisplayPort ($899)?

    Just out of curiousity, why not just pickup a 24" Samsung from Costco or something? If you don't need the wide gamut stuff, then what reason is there to get an ACD? Apple/NEC/Eizo/etc put out some really fantastic monitors, but the business/professional models really aren't designed for...

    Apple 24" LED-backlit IPS Cinema Display with DisplayPort ($899)?

    No need to go balistic just yet. Lets wait and see what Apple can come out with as far as adapters. They are still having trouble getting some of the already announced adapters out (mini-DP => dual DVI for 30" screens come to mind). I do think we will see some DP => Mini-DP adapters...

    active directory question

    What group did you add him to? "Administrators" (with the s)? If he needs to have access to do basic stuff, it is best to give him as limited access as he needs. This typically means leaving him as a domain user within AD and giving each user extra privileges on their personal computer. If...

    Looking for a Diagram of ThinkPad Model Numbers

    for <$1000 you can buy a brand new T61 14 or 15"...why are you spending so much on these upgrades?

    Ordered T61 yesterday

    He may have done it through the bid computers on his states education porthole. Those computers come standard with a 3 year warranty so an extra year would be relatively cheap.
