Hey guys,

I am currently gathering pieces for my new pc.

I have just purchased 3 Viewsonic VX2240w moniotrs to use with my digital TH2Go, hoping that they will run 5040x1050 @ 57Hz.

I have one of the monitors currently hooked up to my old pc via the DVI connection running 1680x1050. I ...

I know this has also been an issue with some of the Asus monitors. Unfortunately it seems you can't always trust what the specs say.

Thanks Guys, I've decided to go with the Antec 1200 :)

Thanks guys. Someone put me onto the Cooler Master HAF-932 so I'm tossing up between either that or the Antec 1200.

Yeah I know, but I figured with the cases it may just have been a case of being able to physically fit 2 GTX 260s or 280s in SLI with fans etc etc.

At this stage I'm leaning towards the Antec 1200, what case do you use Scavv for your 2/260s?

I'llbe able to source most of my stuff from either MSY or Umart.

Yeah, fitting them in the first place and then getting enough air around them are my main concerns.

Hey guys,

I'm struggling to decide on a case for my new pc components. Have looked on the nVidia website for "SLI certified" cases to suit the 2 GTX260s I'll be running, but they only have these two choices:

Cooler Master Cosmos-S (RC1100)
Thermaltake Armor+ ESA VH6001BWS

The first ...

Ok, so I've now had two email replies from Dell and Samsung saying that none of their 22" widescreen moniotrs will run at 1680x1050 at 57Hz, yet there are people here that say they work "straight out of the box".

Is it a matter of "forcing" the monitors to run at that resolution by creating a ...

OK, this is becoming very frustrating.

I have some money burning a hole in my pocket and I want to buy 3/22" widescreens that will work at 5040 x 1050 at 57Hz.

I've been through the list on first page and any other monitors mentioned in this topic but so far this is what i have:

Samsung 226BW

Ok, seeing as the choice seems limited, I'm thinking of stretching the budget a bit to get 3 of these to run @5040x1050.

Can you confirm for me that they run at 57Hz in this configuration without any problems?

Do you have the warning message about ...

Thanks.

Nice monitor too, just a bit out of my price range :(

Any more?

Great idea guys, thanks. I'm setting up a new rig and it's decision time on the monitors so this is helpful.

Unfortunately most of the models listed so far seem to be slightly older monitors, so it makes it hard when looking to buy current models that are compatible.

has anyone bought any ...
