I have the Antec 900 Two case, and i have the Sapphire 5870 in it. there is about 1.25"-ish of room before the plastic shroud on the 5870 touches the nearest obstacle in front of it. The piece is just a division to separate the airflow from the front fans. Sorry for camera phone pic, if you need bet...

i agree with Papales....

definitely go 16:10, 16:9 just doesn't have the height. there is a point were going wider isn't as important as adding a little more height.

surprising how much of a difference 120 pixels of height makes going from 1920x1080 vs 1920x1200.

In WoW, when you are indoors, or the objects on the side monitors are closer to you the worse the effect is. Jump on a flying mount, or get into a wide open area and you barely notice it. It all comes down to how the graphics engine of the particular game renders everything. Unfortunately most of th...

The Asus's were 289each with $30 mail in rebate on each (although it says only 2 rebates per household). i payed about 169 each for the acers. i...

i think it having to do with the first generation of the adapter that caused all the ruckus and bad reviews. I read lots about people taking it back to exchange at a apple store for one with newer firmware. There doesnt seem to be a flash-update available so people are taking them back hoping to get...
