    I would love to but one... But the price along with a type cover at + $1,000, I think I'll wait.

    Why would Oculus sell for $2 billion? If they kept with the game I believed they couldn't been worth a lot more down the road. It's odd to me.

    Let's all just ban innovation while we're at it and protect the decades-old companies that have a firm choke-hold on the market already. Screw everyone else, right? Gimme a break...

    How can't I find these videos when I look for them? Then again I didn't look on Youtube... Apologies for my ignorance.

    Hey there... I am wondering if it is possible to split C: drive into 2-3 separate partitions without ballsing something up and deleting Windows with all my files (By some magical formatting probably...). It is in a single 284 GB partition at the moment. I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium on my old laptop here, an HP G61-631NR Notebook. It's getting close to 4-5 years old now. A little off topic there but back to it, the reason why I would like to do such a thing is something deadly, dangerous, and something I shouldn't do but will anyway and cause a malfunction in the Universe creating a worm whole that destroys the Earth... Nah, only joking. I just want to dual boot Windows 7 with Linux, Elementary OS Luna to be exact. Now my research tells me I could possible do this, either through the boot installation of Elementary OS or inside Windows via Disk Manager. But, it also told me that whatever they are attempting to explain is not catching on in my brain. Now you'd probably saying something of the line, "Why don't you just go buy an external hard drive?" Trust me, I do want to. But currently I'm strapped for cash. Nobody tell Linus I haven't ever backup this machine before. Like, never. Yes, I was naive then. Off topic again... curses me... This is what I am looking at; what I want to do: Out of 205 GB free HDD space out of 284 GB total: (I think the drive itself is either 300 or 320 GB total) Partition 1 contains Windows files, etc./personal files. This currently takes about about 79 GB of space. (Was over a 100 GB yesterday, but I decrapified it. ) I would assume to allow it 100 GB max or so. Partition 2 contains the Elementary OS files. The other 50-60 GB or 100. Partition 3 (not necessary but welcome if possible) extra space for personal files from either Windows or Elementary the rest if unused. My hope is that through Elementary OS I can still access my files from Windows as well. I must applaud you for making it this far in my rambling and redundant block of writing. Thank you in advance for your help, Malkavain3

    Nice, I do think Asus makes some quality monitors. Definitely have to look into this one. And, yeah, I like long extraneous locations on random bits of information. I'll look into Viewsonic's stuff. Maybe I can find something that'll work.

    Hey there... how are you? ... *wink wink...* Creepy introduction over and the subject says it all: What is the best recommended 23"-24" 1080p ISP monitor for +/-US$150.00? I would like a monitor within a range of 5ms response time. Refresh rate isn't as important as I am not planning on playing many FPS titles. Adjustable stand would be nice, but not mandatory. Although I have been looking at the Acer H236HLbid 23" for some time, I feel the glossy screen would irritate and annoy me after a while. I've read Asus, Dell, and BenQ recommendations but I would like to read some fresher opinions. I do indeed live in the United States if this information becomes necessary. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Malkavain

    Ah, thanks for the added info. I'll look into it if I go down that route.

    Awesome, the little bit over budget isn't bad as we are working with a really tight budget. If I go with this, I can look for a cooler that'll get the job done if I do decide to give a light overclock. IPS monitor is a great option, and so is the PSU for when I go to expand in the future. It's a great build to start with. Thanks for the help! It is appreciated a lot.

    Thanks, it is definitely a player choice.

    True, to be honest I haven't decided yet on a mouse or keyboard. It'll probably something cheaper, as I can always upgrade in the future. As a monitor size, I would like it to be 23" or so.
  15. Malkavain3
    It would be preferable. I can stretch a little north if needed.
