    I've been using an Asus VW246H monitor for about eight months and snagged another last week while it was on sale. I have the two side by side and have noticed there is a considerable difference in appearance between the two. Both monitors have been reset to factory settings through the OSD...

    New rig boots, no video display

    Tried out a roommates monitor, no issues. I guess my six year old Viewsonic's DVI was dead... I've got a different monitor in front of me now, everything is working great. Thanks to everyone that helped.

    Why should I wait?

    I'll be playing from a 20" 1680x1050 monitor. Not looking for anything special from the motherboard other than the ability to overclock, reliability is a plus too.

    Why should I wait?

    In that case I'll probably just get the 560 Ti. Any particular SSD I should be looking at?

    Why should I wait?

    I am this (|----|) close to pulling the trigger and driving to Microcenter today to buy all the parts I need to build a new PC. The only thing that's hanging me up is the impending release of Bulldozer and Sandy Bridge-E. I have my sights set on the i5-2500K which I can get from MC for $180. I...

    Native resolution on the monitor is 1680x1050. I've been looking at this Geforce GTX 560 Ti: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604 Could someone shed more light on the CPU issue? I didn't quite follow how things could change with the release of BF3 and Skyrim...

    Best deal on PS3?

    My dad is looking to compliment a home theater setup at our summer house that we rent out with a PS3, mostly because of its Blu-ray capabilities. The guy doesn't like to pay sales tax or shipping so he sent me to the internet to find him a deal. Anyone got any suggestions?

    More RAM or hold out?

    Last time I was playing anything was Battlefield 2, I haven't really kept up with recent PC games. Any chance I would run Crysis decently?

    More RAM or hold out?

    I'm a poor college kid working at a restaurant bussing and cleaning dishes, right now I've got about $600 in my bank account but I'd rather save what I can.

    More RAM or hold out?

    I've been using the same rig that I put together for about three years now and it's been in pretty good condition besides a few setbacks. A little over a year ago I screwed something up and was left with only one stick of 512 DDR where I used to have two. My specs are: MSI K8N Neo Platinum...
