You could go for those stupid high resolution monitors. Don't they do like 2560x1200?

What is a good 24 in monitor? It could be 3d or 2d. Looking for the something for a high end computer.

I'm using the Asus VG249QE. Features up to 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time and is 3D capable. Really happy with mine.

I have this:

I got it for $150 ($180 and $30 gift card)

I'm happy, it's fast and looks nice, had a bit of blue push that was easily ratcheted down.

It means they got yours, they will have someone process the return and check it out, which will take a few days. I've never RMAed anything to newegg before, but with shipping it may be another week before you have a replacement.

It says out for delivery

Re: Official "I want to build a New PC!" Thread

They may have cross shipped one, once they received the tracking info from you that you sent the original one back.

Off topic, just fired up the M17x R4 for the first time. Owned it a week, had never turned it on. Pretty slick.

Everything I've seen Newegg checks over RMA stuff pretty thoroughly before sending replacement (I've also seen people say they are quick to reject, and some conspiracies about Newegg bending motherboard pins and blaming customer, denying the RMA as consumer damage).

In any case, they would have sent him a tracking number.

In other news, my RMA video card shipped Friday.

I had forgotten how annoying it is to update software once you have a new computer running.

according to the asrock extreme tuning utility, my CPU temp is 30C/86F from just browsing the net. Is that hot? I got a hyper 212 evo on my CPU.

Hey guys have been looking into building my own PC lately and I wanted to get you guys input. I'm not really into putting it together myself so I asked a buddy of mine about a site his PC gaming buddies use.

http://www.ibuypower.com/

Is this a site you all would recommend?

I'm a lil intimidated about putting it together myself but if it'll save me a huge chunk of cash I'll think about it. lol
