    The All New Desktop Thread, Images No Larger Than 800x600

    They weren't stupidly expensive - £300 each was a bargin and £600 cant get me a 24" Dell which would be the next step up. Even then, with dual monitors I can dedicate a whole monitor to watching movies etc and still have a whole 20"s to work in.

    What can I use to clean cpu/heatsink

    I've used Acetone (standard Boots nail polish removed) on a few 32-bit AMDs. So if I can scrub away on the actual die with a cotton bud and some Acetone, I reckon it will be fine on a metal IHS. One thing: make sure it doesn't have any colourings in it, it can leave a crud behind which isn't...

    My entire desk and just the screens by themselves :D They're 20" Belinea widescreens and I got them yesterday. They're the sex.

    But the tools are all there for impending emergencies :( Plus you don't know what is behind the camera... a bed COVERED in the packaging from those two monitors.

    Just got my two 20.1" widescreen Belineas. Need to sort the Samurize config out, its only 1280 wide now and it needs to be 1680..... I wonder if i could fill it with so much information I could warrant stretching it to the full 3360.

    10 20 35 Belinea

    Just got and tested them. The colour is absolutely fantastic and I'm sure it could be better with some fiddling. There is no ghosting at all, and none of the white blur that I experienced on my old 17" Viewsonic. I'm now confused as to what to do with all this space.

    TV Card of the PC.

    I have a Hauppauge and the software that comes with it (WinTV) is incredible un-userfriendly. It forgets to load the video every now and again, and occasionally forgets its a TV card and needs the drivers re-installing. Not a very good card IMO.

    How to order a graphics card you don't really need

    I have another problem. I've spent a long time sitting thinking how cheap it would be to buy an A8R32 and an XFire mastercard. But I REALLY cannot afford another £500 at the moment after spending £1500 on a new rig just a month ago. And I REALLY don't need XFire at the moment.... It runs...

    Fancy Major Upgrade

    Probably Mushkin Redline. OCZ EB used to be but I've seen sets that won't even do 270MHz.

    £1000 max on new gaming pc+general use

    I really wouldn't recommend getting a DiamondMax either. Maxtor are probably the least reliable hard drive make. Have a look at Hitachi Deskstars for speed or Western Digital Caviars for extreme reliability.

    £1200 to spend, need a decision !

    Yeah, I'd recommend the Sapphire XTX too. They come in the best pack too. You get a lot of stuff with it.

    Another "spec me" thread I'm afraid ... please help.

    Agree with Explicit on that spec (again) Pocket the £100 and go buy something else

    7900 GTX cooler...

    It pushes it both ways I think. In at the fan and out both sides. But yes, some goes out of the back, the right way.

    New Spec - Opinions?

    I have pretty much the same rig as you specced with the Tagan PSU. I reckon it is pulling about 350W at full load. It, of course, is going to be quieter than the Hiper - who puts an 80mm fan in a PSU?! I've heard the Hiper has real troubles supporting Crossfire too, so if you're planning on...

    New Spec - Opinions?

    The Easycon cables are coated in a mesh see:

    New Spec - Opinions?

    IIRC the Hipers aren't as good as the Tagan EasyCons. Might be worth switching it for the 580W EasyCon for about £20 more.

    New Spec Please, Realistic between £1000-£2000

    The big typhoon is bairly audible in my system and so is the x1900's cooler. The loudest thing would be the Tagan PSU.
