    HP Omen X35 curved, G-Sync, AMVA

    There's plenty of other monitors that fit that bill (Samsung CF791, Asus). The unique thing about this monitor is that it's 100hz native, VA, WITH gsync.

    The official Philips BDM4065UC thread

    I've had mine about a week now and I love it. Initially I was unsure as compared to my old Dell Ultrasharp it is noticeably glossier, and it feels a little bit too big to begin with. A curved version of this would work well. But now I've adjusted there's no way I could go back. The colours are...

    The official Philips BDM4065UC thread

    Glad I pulled the trigger yesterday while there was still +10 in stock. Not only have OC sold out again but I noticed 2 other retailers who received stock yesterday have sold out as well. A monitor like this is long overdue and Philips must be loving it. I'm a software dev and currently use 2...

    Vidahost Downtime

    Without making a new thread, is anyone having problem with their email? A lot of my emails are being bounced back to me because the host's email server is on the naughty list for spamming.

    OcUK Health Seekers: Post your progress pics

    Woah DS. You won't remember me but I used to frequent this board about 2-3 years ago, right around the time you started. I remember your pics - you were tiny. Then I gave myself a bulging disc (careful deadlifting, everyone!) so had to retire because the sciatica was too bad, and thus stopped...

    Shuttle SZ68R5 Review

    This looks tempting. And just as I was settled on a Lian Li PC-Q25!

    Small side project.

    Your pics make the Q07 look better than I thought. I'm torn between it and the Q25, which is a bit bigger but can take a full length gfx card.

    Deathadder scraping fix

    So I had my deathadder delivered earlier - it's great! Except for one minor (although actually quite horrible) flaw - the mouse scrapes across cloth mousemats because of a rough bit on the underside. Googling it confirmed this is a known fault, and the solution is to buy (or DIY) some thicker...

    Shuttle SH67H3 Performance

    Gaming and programming. What I've got now is fine tbh (q6600, 8gb ram, radeon 4850, vertex ssd), but it's coming up to 3 years old I think so it'll be nice to have something new. I've been anti-Apple since forever but the long arm of their marketing division is slowly taking me. The gfx in the...

    Shuttle SH67H3 Performance

    Whats the noise like on these things? Ive got an SP35p2 and after modding out the cpu fan and installing a very quiet gfx heatsink I can still hear the psu fan spinning away. Im tied between something powerful (this), and the new mac mini which is almost silent, argh!

    .net MVC 3

    The one by Steven Sanderson (Pro MVC) is very good, I'd recommend that. I believe the 3rd edition was just released (for MVC 3). Since picking up MVC there is not a hope in hell I'm going back to webforms.

    Jquery masters, GTFIH!

    Just a quick update, parents() was the one I was looking for. parents().css('border', 'none'); Ty for the pointer!

    Jquery masters, GTFIH!

    As a learning task I'm trying to make a bit of a DOM element selector, similar to Firebug's. On mouse over of the element, I'll add a border to let the user know they're over an element. When they move away, it'll disappear. I'm using this so far: $('*').mouseover(function () {...

    Multithreading a for loop?

    Brill, thanks

    Multithreading a for loop?

    I've got a for loop that, in sequence, downloads a number of webpages - basically it pulls a URL from a database, grabs the html using a httpwebrequest, and saves a part of it back into the database. Now over 1-10 pages this is no big deal, but upwards of 40 it starts taking a while (from...

    *** The 2011 Gym Rats Thread ***

    ~160kg, so not too much on the grand scheme of things (well, it was for me!). I'm a computer monkey with an awful desk posture and often bent over underneath desks as well which apparently contributed. I hope so. I love training, seeing my body slowly deteriorate over the last few months has...

    *** The 2011 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Just a quick mention to say take care with your deadlifts. It's been 4 months since I last went to the gym, and it's truly truly depressing. The culprit: trying to break a deadlift PB, giving myself a borderline herniated disc in the process. My form was fine. I've been to an osteopath, physio...

    iPad now?...or wait?

    From what I remember, a 10" retina display would have a ridiculous resolution and be very very expensive. Secondly, something to do with app development - apps designed for ipad version 1 won't scale properly or something.

    iPad now?...or wait?

    The iPad almost definitely won't have a retina screen, it may be of better quality but the resolution will be the same. Or so I've read. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. Not bothered about camera or other rumoured additions.
