As someone who currently has triple 1080s, I'd disagree. I hate setting up the surround/eyefinity groups every time I want to play a game in surround, then having to disable it to just get my portrait monitor back. I'd also mention, considering I'm buying brand new in late 2013, personally, I won't touching 1920x1080 ever again, unless it becomes some kind of future phone standard. Observing that you have 120hz monitors, I can understand and respect why you'd chose framerate over resolution.

I have a suspicion that all these 29" 21:9 monitors are using the same LG panel (don't quote me on that) so I'd think it's safe to assume, they all have the same picture quality and latency. I really just want to know if Asus is worth $100 more than Dell. And when you say useless for most games, is that because most graphics cards chug the framebuffer, or is there an actual issue with the resolution compatibility in most games?

Okay so with the latest update of displayfusion allowing you to virtualize multiple monitors on a single panel, I'm seriously considering a 29" ultrawide, even though they're only at 1080, and have the same height as a 24" 16:9. These are pretty similar ultrawide, IPS monitors, the Asus is $100 (Australian prices, sorry) dearer, but is thinner, smaller bezel, looks classier, and comes with all the asus bonuses like quickfit, fancy colour presets, and speakers which I'll never use. The Dell, has a USB 3 hub, which i'm actually pretty keen on, and probably has some Dell features that I don't really know about. So what do you guys think? Do you even think ultra-wide is worth slightly more than a 27" 16:9 1440p monitor? If you care at all, I'm switching my triple 24" TN panels, for an IPS ultrawide, and a portrait IPS 1440p 27" probably regardless of what y'all think of ultrawides

Could a Motherboard fan header power an LED strip?
PhilPC replied to PhilPC's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
out of curiosity, how many average-priced fans do you think a single motherboard fan header could take? assuming they're running at full speed -
Most LED strips on ebay are 12v and about .4A a meter. I was thinking of just soldering a meter (or less) of it into wires cut from a box cooler. Obviously, I could just run from that into a molex connector on the power supply, if the mobo is too risky, but fan headers are so much more convenient when there's no molex in the build.

buying fans based on looks is what she'd do:

Thanks for your suggestions, but I ended up just getting fed up and moved to transmission. you wouldn't have any suggestions for a decent linux usenet client with a web ui, would you? (I also moved to debian because a friend kept roasting me for using ubuntu)
-
yes, the keys are completely independent of each other, and the steam and origin keys are also different copies, so you can have the steam version and your friend can have the origin.
-
The Steam and Origin codes are actually different, so you can redeem them on separate email addresses. You're essentially getting 2 copies of those games (or perhaps the EA redeeming service was so broken that they didn't notice for me).

I used these for about 12 months. You essentially get what you pay for; the treble is quite tinny, and the bass is quite overpowering. I only use them for taking calls now. http://www.amazon.com/JBuds-Earbuds-Style-Headphones-Black-Pearl/dp/B005VEZ58C/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&srs=2529739011&ie=UTF8&qid=1376391149&sr=8-2-catcorr&keywords=Jlabs

Tomb Raider (2013), it was still a steam version of the game, and it was cheaper

whilst your here, my utorrent 64-bit 3.0 build 27079 for linux (used it to legally share cake recipes with my peers, nothing unscrupulous here), for some reason resets to default settings when I kill it (I've tried editing settings from the web GUI and the utsettings.conf). Do you have any input on this? I'm kind of at a loss.

Okay, so contrary to the first google result for mhddfs, it turns out that it writes to the first drive, until it gets to the preset max-size, then writes to the next drive. If you edit a file, that becomes larger than what could fit on a drive, it will simply move it to the next drive with free space. I guess this is okay, so the problem never existed, I just got my info from an unreliable source.

I just realized that the sewage system, which I'm pretty sure the entire community calls the poo map, is a metaphor for EA's Business model; If you put a Water Pump next to the Sewage Treatment Plant, you can pass off poo water as drinking water and your sims won't even know the difference. Genius.
-
I actually have no idea, I'm up to 94% of the first drive, I'll have a go at duplicating some legally obtained, G-rated movies until I fill it to see what happens. btw, thankyou for your debian home server walkthrough, your posts on this forum have been a massive help, and you've really eased the learning curve for linux noobs like myself.
