Its on special, which ends in 2 days.

I would choose the T240HD. It has HDMI, swivel adjustment and a better warrenty [apparently?]. From memory the reviews on the T range were also the best of the Samsungs.

The thing to look for with fans is high CFM, but with low rpm and low dbA. What most people don't realise is that you cant just rely on a low dbA for low noise. High speed fans will sound louder at the same dbA compared to slower ones, because humans are more sensitive to higher pitch noises...

Yeh the armour case comes with 3x120mm fans and 2x80mm fans. You will be fine with those.

Welcome to TF mate, First things first, you said it updated drivers itself?? Thats not the way you should be doing it. The best way is to: 1. Actually download the latest drivers from each manufactures website [motherboard drivers included]. 2. Then remove the drivers via 'Programs and...

I would usual say 'it could be that your PSU is underpowered', but with a PC P&C 610w that just can't be the problem... I know you have already tryed it, but sometimes re-seating it really firmly can work wonders. I've had some very strange problems in the past, from no signal to only using...

They are a type of processor used in GPUs for alot of parallel processing, much more simple than the cores in a CPU. But you can't compare Nvidia to ATI cards in this way because they use two different stream processor types. The only way to measure which is best is through real world benchmarks.

Yeh if you wanted to beef Hefe's build up to an i7 920 you could get: Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops $289 Newegg.com - ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel...

Yeh maybe thing of 9GB which will still give you tripple channel. To be honest though, I do alot of 3D modelling and the amount of ram doesnt have a huge impact. Its more to do with CPU power for rendering, and graphics power for working withing the viewport. I use more ram for things like...

Lol, finance for an ipod touch. My mate's room mate bought a $2000 TV a couple of years ago, he got it financed. It just seems stupid getting finance for things you just want. And banks are an even worse evil for letting it happen. As for price matching - if they give you a tone 'you...

DVD writers are all very similar - something like this is fine: NCIX.com - Buy Liteon IHDP118 22X IDE Black DVD-ROM Drive OEM - IHDP118-04 In Canada. To cut the price more the only real option is getting a cheaper video card: NCIX.com - Buy Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 725MHZ 1GB 4.0GHZ GDDR5...

i7 920 - $346 - NCIX.com - Buy Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping Quad Core Processor LGA1366 2.66GHZ Bloomfield 8MB LGA1366 -SLBEJ- - BX80601920 - D0 In Canada. 6GB G.Skill F3s - $195 - NCIX.com - Buy G.SKILL F3-12800CL8T-6GBRM Ripjaws 6GB 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL8-8-8-24 240PIN Triple Channel i7 Memory...

RealTemp is another good one.

Yeh i heard that too. I think they like the car and how well it performs, but in the current economic climate, money is what it comes down too.

Thei7-920 has 4 cores and 8 threads [it has hyperthreading so each core can perform to threads at a time further improving mulitasking performance]. 9GB of ram is overkill really.
