Am looking to upgrade my monitor from a Mirai 19" to a 23" as this size seems to give me the best quality panel within my budget. Have been looking at the Samsung SM2333SW and the Samsung SM2433LW, the latter of which is actually a 23.6" panel so slightly bigger. What I can't understand is that...

Am pretty sure my boot disc drive has given up the ghost, while playing STALKER the other day the system randomly froze with the HDD activity light stuck on. Restarted the system and during the POST screen the storage drive was recognised but nothing else came up on the list (storage drive on...

Don't know if this is the right area to put this thread in but does anyone know of a desk thats compact (approx. 3ft across) that isn't some tiny workstation unit? Have very little space to put my rig in atm so have to use a small PC Worlds own model with the monitor on top and have the actual...

Can't decide whether it's worth getting another card to match the one I've got for Crossfire. Planning on getting a 24" after christmas so want to get some extra power to make the most of it. It's either get another 4890 or save up and get a 5870 or 5890 X2 when they come out.

Am looking for a 22" monitor to replace my old 19". Have been looking at a couple of Samsung's, both the T220 and the P2250. The T220 is only a 1680x1050 but is £133 whereas the P2250 is a 1920x1080 and is £190. Other than that both seem to have a pretty similar spec, don't know whether the...

I'm looking for a laptop that'd be great for carrying with me when travelling on trains that I could use for t'internet, music and watching DVDs. From what I can gather netbooks like the Asus eeePC and Dell Inspiron Mini will do the first 2 but not the last as they don't have a DVD drive. The...

Just pre-ordered an Sapphire Atomic HD4890 1GB from Yoyotech.co.uk with VapourX cooler for under £200 inc. postage. 40Mhz slower core than the XFX Black edition on Scan but much quieter cooler and faster memory clock too. Sure I'll be able to bump up the core speed myself anyway. It is about £30...

If other please state in the space provided: ................................. Am currently running a 19" Mirai monitor @ 1440x900 but am looking to up this to 22" 1080p compatible at some point in the future. Ideally don't want to go above £200 and have found the Asus HD4890 for £164.99 on...
