That does indeed put you back to the 3007WFP. Same superb picture quality, still has the USB hub and card reader, but lacks all inputs but one DVI. Not sure on price, but you should be able to pick one up for sub 1500 bucks I'd guess.

Here, 1150 bucks shipped.

 

Wow, half price. Not bad, not bad, $1150, versus putting $600-800 in a 24". Maybe I'll treat myself for Christmas!! LOL (I'll still be limping along for a while with a 3850 lol)

New build will add another $1200 sounds like - well, maybe more like $1500 with an x2 - sometime in the Spring.

You got me with that "gorging on pixels" line

 

Nah, never got around to playing Half Life. No time

Today was a busy day too. Had to take the SATs in the morning, had to go to a conference in the evening, while writing a college application essay in between.

 

Wow, a really busy day. What colleges are you going for?

By the way, I'm getting ready for the new build - just downloaded sp1 for vista, and in 4 hours the torrent will deliver the main program. I'll set a 25 gig partition like our Mo said (shaff) on the new 640 gig seagate that's coming with the corsair. I don't really want vista but if that's the only way warhead will give up ultra high and allow x2 or crossfire support, then it looks like it's a must have type of thing. And some guys were talking about loving DX10 - is there a growing concensus that it's a good thing, or is everybody still grumbling?

Ultra high will work on XP. Crossfire on the other hand, won't. This also applies for GRiD.

 

@ rich

I wasn't really into the scary games either, playing DOOM3 tensed me up to the point that I got a headache, I've yet to go back

But with dead space, I WILL FINISH IT.

I'm just going to play it (prove I'm not a wuss )

I'm getting it from a friend tomorrow at school, can't wait

 

I'm applying to University of Central Florida.

Also Dead Space is not that scary once you get past the first parts.

 

Scary enough...

 

lol True

I had my buddy come over and then we played it some more. I guess it gets exponentially less scary the more people you have around you.

 

That, plus 30 inches of dead space is more scary than 19 inches of it I dread to think what it looks like on a 65", especially with the volume turned up.

 

woo hoo! i'm back! for a while *sigh*

Yeah Dead Space is a bloody good game and a bloddy scary game too. I tried playing the game at night with no lights and loud...and guess what it didn't last 2 mins...

I realy can't imagine playing that game on a 30" monitor!!!

man i miss a lot! Oh and Fallout 3...one of the best!!!

 

Too bad I'll be playing it alone :O
At night without lights, no less

Guess it won't be too bad on a 15.4"

Good to see you (metaphorically )
Why didn't you last, did your bladder pop??

CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IT

 

I'm guessing he went over his bandwidth limit for the internet and got cut off.

 

LOL WTH! Exams are pain in the a$$!!! and yeah 15: is not that bad...but still it's bad...

Imagine playing horror games on a 40" full HD TV with surround sound in the middle of the night, lights off and no one around...spooky!

 

Well, if it was the middle of the night, the neighbours would have something to say about it...

 

I've ticked all those boxes before, except 30" not 40", and let me tell you, you have to try it.

 

Lol sam, not that loud...

and yeah that would be sick...imagine you're concentrating so hard and your telephone suddenly rang...you're really going to s**t in your pants LOL!

Damn i love giving me friend a fright when he is play FEAR...btw i deleted FEAR after like 6 hours of play...it sure shortend my life. I'm no good with horror games

i'm out tonight!

 

I love FEAR, one of my favourite games.

 

Lucky

I have installed FEAR but I have yet to play it.

Just can't seem to find time in my busy life , especially that A-Levels are going at a crazy pace, I'll leave old games for the summer and focus on Dead Space and other new games instead
