Monitor won't stay on

I have a Samsung 957MB CRT monitor. The other day after pushing the on-off button, the monitor refused to stay on. If I hold the button in, it will come up fine but as soon as I let go, it goes black and the LED flashes rapidly. The service manual says a rapidly flashing LED and no picture...

Need guidance selecting motherboard

Thanks to everyone on this thread and others for their assistance. In the end to allow for future growth I opted to build my system around the EVGA 680i MB (A1), Antec P182 case and a Corsair 620 PSU. MWave has a good price on the P182 and Directron had a special on the Corsair. Based on the...

8800gts prices have gone up in the past week?

I thought I was imagining things when it seemed to me that the GTS prices were creeping up. This looks a lot like a common old retail strategy where prices were gradually raised for a few weeks ahead of a big sale. Remember, that supposedly nVidia told manufacturers that there would be a price...

Help selecting case and PSU

Color is not an issue. Trying to stick to mid-tower. Also trying to keep the system relatively quiet. I don't need clear side panels or LED lit fans - I'm not big on LED bling but won't turn it away if the case is good. As for options, pretty standard and basic - front USB ports and 120mm...

Help selecting case and PSU

Hi, I'm looking for a little help building a new system - specifically for the case and PSU. I am not a hardcore gamer but do enjoy combat simulation games. Most of my usage will be with my current monitor which offers up to 1600 x 1200 @ 75Hz. However, I will be purchasing a large 1080p HD TV...

Need guidance selecting motherboard

Sorry I didn't mention budget. Regarding the MB, $250 is my limit but so far I've been looking to stay under $220. Based on reports and specs I've seen, it appears the 8800 GTS 640MB should be enough for now. As it is, a video card in the $350 zone is a hard pill to swallow for me. I'm...

Building new system

Ooookay. Then let me throw this in. Most of my gaming activity will be on a monitor normally at 1280 x 1024 and not more than 1600 x 1200. As for the TV - occasional use with the PC - 1920 x 1080 (1080p) or maybe 1840 x 1036 (an overscan thing - don't ask). If I get an 8800 GTS, do I really...

Building new system

Thanks, Fallen. Regarding the TV, it will be a 1080P native which I understand translates to 1920 x 1080. Right now I'm looking at the Samsung HL-T 6189 LED DLP but I could end up doing a Sony XBR3 once available or a JVC d-ILA. cb
