that is why you should get one 16:10 for work and 16:9 for multimedia

hehe

16:9 ratio monitor is always cheaper than 16:10 mainly due to the manufacture method produces less waste

as you only have one PCI-E (x16) slot

there should be more than one PCI-E (x1) slot on most MB

my desktop MB only has one PCI-E (x16) slot and 2 PCI-E (x1) slots

which motherboard do you have?


Note: PCI-E (x1) card is not easy to find but there are always several cheap ones on ...

you dont need an SLI board ... as long as you have two PCI-e (x16 or x1) slots, you can install two cards

dont waste money on PCI card, they are expensive and most of them dont use modern drivers.

as far as I am aware (I use ati cards), nvida series 6,7 and 8 uses a common driver

I ...

first of all... why do you want a 3360 X 1050 display ???

I dont really see a difference in using 2 x 22"

I have the same desktop as you! That is a cool image (http://www.interfacelift.com) I think???

Nice setup, especially like the picture in the background - kinda funky! Where did you get that from?

cant remember where I got the background from... but i think it is quite a popular one ...

ok... here is my latest photo of my computer room

I am pretty certain Hazro is pushing the product into the US

but that would probability require them to adjust the manufacturing process or even manufacture to keep the cost down

that can be a huge investment and can be a huge gamble for a small UK based company

what I am trying to ...

You could e-mail and ask, but overclockers.co.uk has a very bad reputation for Customer Service.

I dont think you have to pay vat but the shipping cost and import tax should be quite high, probability better to buy other ISP monitors

regarding the customer services.... I had first hand ...

I believe only overclockers.co.uk stock them, it is an exclusive deal or something

I personally heard good reviews of their first edition monitors (models without an I at the end)

but there seem to have some problems with their current (second) edition, may be they have already sorted the ...

I did a bit more reading on the net and it is possible to split sata connection but it would required a port multiplier which cost about $100 and the express card has to support port multiplier as well

I think i will ended up buying a single sata case with hot swap function.... and build a HTPC ...

I already bought a Dell m1330 for a very decent price. It came with around 250GB which is no where near enough (probability fits my music collection)

I need around 3TB :shock: , probability 4 TB in a year time

I came across some 4 bays HD enclosure with four sata ports, the problem is the ...

.... but 4 bays NAS cost like an arm

probability cheaper to build a basic desktop

I am about to switch from desktop to laptop and my main problem is storage.

currently have one 250GB, 750GB and two 500GB hard drives and still not having enough space, planning to ditch the 250 GB drive and get an 1TB drive.

Now the problem is to get a suitable (or 4 independent ...

as a matter of fact, you got several options and monitor is dirt cheap at the moment (especially 16:9 TN panel), £1000 for monitors alone can get you very far

I personally would check Hazro 30" (S-IPS panel) out, S-IPS is great for photo editing, provided you calibrated it. The price is a lot ...

i use that to open extra tab.... as for closing tab.... ctrl+w or press the 'PowerMate' controller

got used to two hand browsing .... found that faster :roll:

sounds like revolution MX is a winner....

anyone tried the Microsoft natural 6000 mouse.... it looks very comfort to use

I would try them out if I can but there isn't any local store that I know display high end mouse.... will give try my luck later on this weekend

I was thinking a wireless mouse would offer the best comfort... may be the Logitech MX Revolution or a Microsoft Ergonomic range....

but keep it coming...

Guys

I recent bought a logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks and it is great, extremely comfortable or even pleasure to type... (my previous keyboard is Saitek Eclipse II)

I am currently using a Razer DeathAdder and Kensington Expert trackball. Both mouses are great but lacking comfort ...
