Having a fan or no doesnt matter, as I have that side covered. I will have several Nexus 120mm fans where I can try different combinations, like passive with cooling done completely by the airflow and trying different ways to make optimal airflow through the cooler with least noise, or perhaps ditch...

Which one is more effective on passive cooling, TRUE or Ninja, on my upcoming P182 computer rig with Nexus fans? Im still undecided which cooler would is more effective, not counting the price. They're both very good, close to the best possible with very low airflow. Don't bother splitting hairs --...

I watch a lot of porn and the skin tones are still just excellent. That is how I calibrate my monitor. If there ever was a ranking of most [insert adjective of your choice here] SPCR quotes, I suspect this one would top it. It seems really good way to test monitor colors, and hassling with calibrat...

The monitor will be rather close to me, (currently my CRT is about 70cm from my eyes) so I think I can handle it. Plus I can always use smaller resolution. Yes, it would need scaling, and its only acceptable quality at best, depending how monitor handles that scaling. (IIRC Samsung is rather decent ...

Ah, I see. But anyway, unless anyone has an objection Im about to order Samsung 2032BW, the successor of 206BW. 2232BW would be very interesting, but I think it would be a little bit too wide for my desk. 20" seems to be just and just the right size, according to my measuring tape. :) Thanks everyone!

Looking for good widescreen LCD for gaming

Anything from 19inch to 23inch, doesnt matter, though im not exactly willing...

All right, I just ordered my package. However, the IP35-e was out of stock and they werent sure when they would receive another batch, if ever. So, I ordered MSI Neo3-F motherboard instead. Arctic Cooling and Thermalright coolers will be ordered after I receive my computer and get it built, they hav...

I'd rather not add any extra cards, so I guess motherboard with standard amount of IDE ports is preferable. And it seems Asus P5K also has only one IDE port. Are there any decent P35 motherboards that has two IDE ports? If not, I guess I have to start looking for decent DVD burner. LG GSA-H66NRB as ...

KSC75 is one helluva can for its price, I own one too and it replaced PX100 easily for my ears. Whenever I want fun on my home system I use my RS1. Has the refinement of high quality headphones but also some tweaks in midbass and upper midrange to give some energy to sound, headbangability for extre...

I have d-Jays and Etymotic ER-6i IEMs too, for portable use. Not willing to explore that side further cuz inserting them in your ear is always such a fuzz, pain in the ass to get them right. :x Too bad since isolation is great, and so is sound whenever I manage to insert them properly atleast. Funky...

yeah, it would be if you didnt have those cards, but as it is, you have nice setup that is for certain. any conflicts ever? The chip is great, ram fine, all seems good. just make sure no active fan cooling on the motherboard which it probably does not have. S1 is what I am switching to this week if...

I already have X-Fi Elite Pro and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcards. I have also external DAC coming soon for music purposes so the M-Audio soundcard will be rendered useless and therefore left out of my new upcoming system, and leaving X-Fi for gaming only. Auzentech Prelude would otherwise be ver...

I will build this rig on january most likely, so I still have time to finalise the component choices and do some planning what to do with the case. Nothing major as im not a real DIY person. Some MacGyver tape (and ironwire! :P ) and sharp knife mods will do, and perhaps some rubberbands for HDD mou...
