The NEC is proper High def, the Samsung isn't - don't worry about the lack of crappy speakers, with a 46" you should have proper ones anyway.

Indeed, and for a TV that size, it matters.

Hey Rob,
You need to change the name of your computer! After the performance the Reds put on last night against the Dodgers, it must be depressing your computer! ROFL!! Oh, if your looking for your computer, it must be hiding it's head in shame under the bed! ROFLMAO!!

So I just opened up the monitor and it's HUGE!!! Just so everyone knows I'm selling these for 950(shipping included) and they retail for 1600 on Newegg.com.

They will be up on eBay soon. I got three of 'em!

Sorry if this is kinda against the rules or something. Oh and Sam, I have decided to sell three of these and my Dell and buy one of these for myself!

boozer you don't have links to the THESE in your post so we can't look at what your looking at. :P

Robert I knew it! :P You big teaser you..

Got a slight dilemma here...

Rebuilt one of my work computers and for some reason it won't go into windows. I've removed everything but the HDD, video card, and the ODD's and the ODD's are next from the system. It will post the BIOS and I can play with that but when it goes to the XP "slider" it gets stuck every time. I can go into Safe Mode and play around there but as soon as I reboot and try to enter the "Windows" User screen it stops! I'll remove the ODD's then replace the IDE cables if need be. It's truly silly, all I did was replace the case and the psu.. NOTHING else.. gggrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........

All I can say is ESPN don't know diddly! The best world series ever played in my lifetime was 1975! In the 7th game with the outcome far from clear, Pete Rose made the statement that this was the greatest game that he ever played in, and at that point didn't care who won! He said that just the privilege of having been able to play in it, was worth more!

Cheer up Big Red Machine, if all else fails, we can always paint you green and ship you to oakland! ROFLMAO!!

It's a shame that the HP monitors are unscalered like the 3007 I have, the 3008WFP is a proper monitor/TV/anything else. They're hopelessly delayed though, order lead time's about 2 months at the moment I think! :O

You said you got a Rev. 2.0 so if you have any memory errors, be sure to try the F-11 bios. Make absolutely sure you download it from the correct revision of your MB! My flashing the bios to F-10 (recommended for the E6750) is what caused all my memory problems. The computer hasn't had a single issue since I flashed it back to F-11. They have an F12a bios, but I would be very leery of it because it's been a Beta for about 6 months now, which means they haven't sorted it all out yet, so it's not quite ready. Normally a Beta bios is only a beta for a month or two at the most, so I read this as problems! I would avoid it!

im just now working on it. put the mem in and fired it up. no problems so far.
installing win xp pro now. formating now.
i did go into the bios to setup boot sequence to odd first. i did notice the volts for the cpu is lower than normal. 1.135 instead of the 1.225v it did show up as 3.0ghz and the mem was at its rated speed 800mhz. so right now all is good waiting for the formating to get done and windows installed....
