I'm really considering picking IPS monitors bit by bit towards a triple monitor Eyefinity/Surround. I am leaning towards IPS because I rarely game so I less picky about super fast refresh or response times, but colour accuracy and variety is pulling me toward the IPS panels. But of course IPS...

So I started this thread since I was looking to get a 120GB SSD quite soon; started looking at those sexy RevoDrives initially a few months back before the SATA 6Gbps drives started mass rollout, but decided I stick with the 2.5" form factor to be able to pass on this SSD for use in a laptop...

I'd thought I'd share with non TTL facebook peps with some updates.

Remember the Meh Box?... so I've been planning the replacement rig for at least the past half year, and then Zambezi popped up and so I'm now waiting on benches and retail prices. So I'll start the build log now with the first significant component of the new rig's build, the case which I except...

Essentially this thread boils down to me trying to decide whether to buy 3.5" 1TB, 2TB, or 3TB hard drives? So for the short term (till end of 2011 at current estimations) I think of running two HDDs to run in RAID 0, migrate the OS and everything off my current single 2TB Western Digital Green...

This is for Vista, but I doubt things have changed since. 'Right'-click the Computer icon, and select "Manage", the Computer Management utility window will pop up.In the left column, under Storage; open up the Disk Management section.Rescan for new disk if you have to, then initializing is...

Since the mainstreaming of flash memory thumbdrives and portable 2.5" HDD, DVD±RW discs have been sitting on my shelf, but I still do burn the occasional CD-R. I can honestly say I have never seen a Blu-Ray box in any home I've ever been in, nor have I ever seen a BD disc in person any where. I...

I guess this horrid case was not worth writing up an OC3D review for...

WTF? SMP is sucking CPU juice but GPU Tracker can't see it, GPU folding is a non-starter. EDIT: Reinstalled GPU Tracker, everything functioning again; bye-bye 5% on a >900 point SMP WU, and I still have never seen the PPD on my CPU. EDIT 2: It freaked out with the same/similar problem...

Finally worked out how to get GPU Tracker V2 working tonight, and pretty much halved the processing for 500,000 steps (1%) for GPU folding. The old standalone GPU client was conflicting with GPU Tracker, and now finally I can see SMP folding at work ever if very slowly so. Ambient: 27°C (The...

I am looking possibly adding a second HDD and setting a RAID 0 configuration. I have researched and understood enough about from the ground up fresh RAID implementations, but I need OC3D's help regarding setting up onboard RAID 0 with one existing HDD and it's precious data with one new...

It's old, and more entry level kit even for it's day, it was not built to handle games. Coolermaster RC-330 Elite mid-tower case Before you look inside, this case has no cable management bits and I tried what I could to keep things tidy. And it is a rainbow of mismatched colours in the box...

Anyways... To the graphics card to be acquired, I'm looking at around a $200 budget but I am willing to suck it in to stretch it to $300. The contenders: Gainward GTX 460 2GB Golden Sample $249MSI GTX 470 1.2GB $259ASUS GTX 560 Ti 1GB $299Gigabyte 6850 1GB $209ASUS 6870 1GB $269 I'm thinking...
