  1. Don't buy the Kingston. The coupon has no stated expiration date so I'd wait for a better SSD deal to stack with this.
  2. So my old Copperhead broke (from 2005) after 9 years of good use. I'm now in the mouse market - does anyone know which mouse is most equivalent to the copperhead in terms of shape? Doesn't have to be from Razer, just looking for something my hand is used to. Thanks.
  3. Does anyone know how the H60 compares to the H55 in terms of perfomance? The H55 is up for the same price on TigerDirect.
  4. Microcenter has the Pentium + MSI z97 PC Mate for the same price.
  5. So does Dell's low contrast ratio actually mean anything? I don't know much about monitors so I'm not sure if contrast ratio is an important characteristic.
  6. Hey Guys, I've gotten good advice on this forum before so I'd thought I'd consult you once more. I'm struggling between these two monitors, which are currently the exact same price for me (The AOC is at my local Microcenter, the Dell has a good promo on Newegg.) I'm generally going to be using them for gaming, movie watching, word processing, and internet browsing. I'm not a competitve FPS player so I don't particularly need extremely low GTG times of TN panels. I think I will prefer the image benefits of IPS. Here's the round up: Pros of AOC Smaller Bezel Faster GTG time (5ms vs 7ms) In-store pick-up, less shipping risk of damage This panel's older brother (I2757Fh) got a smart buy on Tom's Hardware, so I imagine this is of similar quality. Much higher contrast ratio (50Mil : 1 vs. 1k : 1) Cons of AOC Smaller (22in vs 23in) Pros of Dell Bigger (23in Vs. 22in) Very low input lag (that I could find online) good matte screen Good reported Build Quality Very thin Cons of Dell Slower GTG time Screen is apparently very reflective Lower contrast ratio So, Which one guys? Or is there another IPS panel (or very good TN) at this price point (<$129.99)? Thanks for your help.
  7. Just get a PNY XLR8 - same price, better speeds.
  8. It's the classic Windows Cycle. Win98 was sweet, 2000 sucked butt, XP was sweet, Vista sucked butt, Win7 was sweet, Win8 sucked butt, and now Win9 will be awesome.
  9. Dammmmn. I just wish they weren't $20-$30 more than the h100i.
  10. They changed the prices a bit today it seems, and now the Fatality is actually $5 cheaper. I'm still having trouble deciding, as I prefer the MSI BIOS... Ugh, this is tough.
