is this monitor better than my samsung.i also got tat cm 690 nvidia wala in rs 6000 as i think to prefer it as it has superion coolnig or shall i go with tat centurion. im a nvidia fan so suggest me a good gfx card.
Well, Samsung is a Best known brand for LCDs.. (i knw their Optical Drives $uck BIG time..) so go for Samsung 2233.. w;out any doubt..(even im planning to buy that same LCD)..

For the Cabinet, go for CM690 (side panel) wala cabinet (it has 2 fans already installed, one front and one rear) and u hv the option to install 5 more fans.. so i ordered 2 extra Blue LED (120mm) fans so in total, i'll hv 4 fans..

Guys, (to all) is the BLUE LED fan good enough (i mean color wise) or shud i get multi color LED fan.. ??

For the gpu (since u are an nVIDA fan)... as of now, go for a SINGLE Evga gtx280 SSC (super super clock) edition as its 22.7K ... any other wud be way too costly like gtx285 or any higher..

Well, he is an nVIDIA fan...amitash..

Suggestion :: Mite be Helpful

CodeMasters games like GRID and DIRT are not playable on i7 ..

To make them work...goto system folder in game installation directory..edit hardware_settings_restrictions.xml ....

search for workerMap8Core ... change it to workerMap4Core

The game will work ...
Plz post ur config (in quotes using [quote] tags with prices of every component, location u purchased from)

and thanx for the suggestion, i hv not tested those games still.. but will do so..
