Need Suggestions: 27" Monitor 16:10 - Primarily Office Use

I have 3 of those-one an older HH and two of the HZ-all bought @ 250 to 300CDN. Not one dead or stuck pixel in the trio, backlight bleed isn't any worse than any number of other monitors I've seen, very bright out of the box. Enjoy yours. Mine are great in Eyefinity!

Need a reliable, rarely-used printer

Samsung CLP 325 is available from NCIX for 99.99, and I think I saw it at Wallyworld (Canada) for the same price. Third-party toner carts are available, but if you only need 5 shots a month, the originals will probably last you about 25 years!

Computer desk + chair problem

The problem appears to be the desk, not the chair. A lot of these two- or three-tiered desks place the monitor above optimal eye-level in an attempt to maximize total desk area with a minimum depth. Try placing the monitor on the second tier and see if that isn't better, even if it might seem...

Question about 6950 crossfire

I have an XFX 6950 reference dual-bios and a newer one in CF. From playing around with the older one I found there is little benefit to unlocking the shaders - maybe 1%, if that. Using a 6970 bios offers a good chance of frying the memory chips since the 6950 uses different (slower) ones...

Do you think my pc can handle BF3?

Agree that you should wait to see whether you even need to upgrade the GPU. DO get another 4 gig of RAM if you have 64 bit Windows. Dirt cheap right now. I'm amazed no one jumped on your dog of a HD! 5900 rpm for a boot drive? Get a 500G or 1T 7200 rpm SATA3 HD NOW! Yes, right bleeding...

Need fan replacement for old card (4850)

How long ago did you buy it? Seems to have a 3 year warranty. If they can't replace it same-for-same, they could offer a very cheap (or free) upgrade.

Looking for an inexpensive printer

Definitely a laser for what you want. Prices are lower than mentioned. A B&W for $50 or colour for $120. Check ncix's current sale.

Mouse Mats for Laser mice

By coincidence, about the time you posted, Purolator delivered two pads to my door. Both are Razer Goliathus standard size (355x254x4), one Control (looser weave) and one Speed (very fine weave) version. Testing both I found the best match for my 4000dpi Lachesis to be the Speed model. I'll...

SLI Cards

Believe I read that SLI doesn't work unless nVidia has graciously worked support for that application/game into its drivers. True? Untrue?

Best and fastest DVD-RW drive ?

Here is a PC World article that covers several dual-layer units. As I understand it, 16X is the max feasible spin speed for DVD. As for capacity, what more could you need right now?

game crashing

Have you tried un-&re-installing the game itself with the latest fixes? I'm centering on the app because you say the other apps work fine. Also, check their web site for faqs or known issues.

Who sells 9800 Pro to Canada?

If someone in Ontario orders from ncix (or any other out-of-province retailer) they pay only GST (7%) plus shipping. If they order from a U.S. retailer, they will be dinged for both GST and Pst (8%). Plus shipping rates in the U.S. are usually much higher. Customs fees range from...
