LCD Showdown! - Please share your opinions :)

I would go for the NEC 1760NX. I have a 1550M, which is just analog, but the quality is incredible. It has a 25ms response time, it's excellent for DVD and gaming. I might upgrade to a 17" and also digital, and my choice will be NEC again. I will admit there are a couple of dead pixels on my...

Choosing an LCD Display?

If I was buying a new LCD monitor at this time, I would go for the NEC 1760NX. http://www.necmitsubishi.com/products/home/nec_index.cfm I bought an NEC 1550M last year, although only analog I love it. I'm using it also to watch DVD, and the clarity, contrast is incredible. The 1760NX is digital...

how many of you people use the power on by mouse or keyboard?

Yeah, just touch the space bar and it turns on. I've got a PS48X, also has a feature called "Automatic Power Up", which allows you to set the system to power up automatically at the time of day you specify.

Good Internal DVD Rom

Just got a Lite-On 166s 16/48 DVD to replace my A-Open 52x CD-Rom, love this Lite-On. It is fast, smooth a quiet. Also have a LiteOn CD-RW, not the newest and lastest, but it hasn't let me down yet. Yes, I think this board does have many Lite-On fans, and I can see why. Cheers, Hagen

Do I need more RAM?

Definitely go for 512mb, even with the extra DDR Ram on the Video card. I installed Cacheman, a freeware program, which manages RAM more efficiently, and also lets you know how much RAM is free. I have Win XP Home Edition, and I am always using over 200mb of the 512mb I have, often over 256mb...

Need a Case suggestion

If you want some advice, spend the extra bucks and go with an aluminum Lian-Li. I did, and don't regret it. Only had it just over a year, and alot more models are out now. It's a beautiful case. lots of room inside for cooling, two intake fans on the front, a blowhole on top and one outlet at...

Hard drive noise reduction

Get the Seagate Barracuda. I've got the 60gb Barracuda IV, my case is on top of my desk less than a foot away, the HD just below ear level, very quiet all but completely silent. I have a small apartment studio suite, my bed about 10-12 ft away from the PC. I had it on all last night downloading...

Quick: MSI or Lite on (52x CD-ROM)? And Retail vs. other fan

For the CD-Rom, I would go with Lite-On. I have a 16x DVD 48X CD rom drive, it;s LiteOn, very fast and quiet. I replaced the A-Open 52x with the Lite-On DVD, and I am very happy with it, really just as fast and a lot quieter. Also have a LiteOn, CD-RW, not the latest and fastest LTR 24102B, you...

SATA Woes.../me fumes

I just got a new mobo with SATA, it comes with a couple of 18 inch cables. Unfortunately, I don't have a SATA hard drive yet, I'm gonna wait awhile. However, I've got a Lian Li aluminum case, which is really large and I'm still going to have more than enough length with the 18in. cable, so...

lite-on: what's the diff between 166S and 165H?

Actually, I don't know if this helps, but I just got a Lite-On 166s, I too was confused with the model nos. I went to a computer store (in Vancouver, Canada), which is known for their low prices. It cost me 60.00cad plus tax (that is about 40.00usd which is real cheap). I wanted at 16x DVD 48X...

Why is Apple the only company making large size LCDs?

Check out the NEC website, they have some incredible thin-frame LCD displays: http://www.necmitsubishi.com/products/home/nec_index.cfm MultiSync LCD2080UX (Black Cabinet) Personally, I really used to like the Macs, but I just can't get past the white and silver thing they have. Just my opinion.

Did I make a mistake buying the Seagate SATA Barracuda V?

Would be interested to hear what your observations are. From the reviews, the only advantage I can see immediately is just the fact that you will have the smaller serial cable instead of the parallel cable. I've got the Barracuda IV and love it, it's incredibly silent, and my tower/hard drive is...
