Very true Suzuki. Unfortunately, it seems monitors have too high a defect rate for the batch manufacturing with limited quality sampling method that suppliers use (individual inspections would likely be too costly for the price consumers are willing to pay). I honestly don't know how much of a...

If they all suffer from QC issues that shouldn't change the average attributes of the panels such as general picture or build quality. I'm looking for information (even subjective) on how the Crossover 2795 compares to other 1440p monitors.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the Crossover 2795 import monitor and can comment on how it stacks up to other 1440p IPS monitors for image quality and color presets. It seems to use the same panel as the Dell U2713h, is PWM-free, and can overclock to 96hz+ reliably but lacks any...

Hi folks. I'm looking for a monitor to go with a computer running a i5-6600K and GTX 980ti. The computer will be used for gaming (WoW, HotS, single player FPSs and RPGs), general computing, photo viewing/editing, and maybe 3-D modeling. I've been reading through everything I can find about the...

Thanks for the very helpful input Overshocks and Blackhawk. I updated the OP to include the Antec 900 case and remove the MSI motherboard. I think have everything selected now with a total system cost is about $1208. I will probably use the extra money in my budget to either get a laser...

I'm planning on getting the Cooler Master Hyper 212 (it is on my list after Motherboard). Looking at the cases suggested I'm leaning towards the Antec 900. The placement of the power button on the HAF 922 looks like it would be something I would hit often. How does the Antec 902 compair to...

The 5850 is overkill for my current monitor but I plan on using the computer on my 1080p (1920x1080) TV at times. I sit at a desk at work all day so computing from the couch is very welcome shift. I'll also upgrade my monitor at some point and I like to plan ahead a bit on my builds (DX11 on...

Thank you for the link blackhawk192, it was good to see the quantitative numbers for the drives. I think I'll go with the Spinpoint F3 1TB. It might not be as fast as the 500GB version but I want the extra space for photos, videos, and analysis data.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: The next week or two, BUDGET RANGE: ~$1300 max After Rebates SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, personal 3-D modeling/analysis work (SolidWorks), and some video/photo editing PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor, speakers, possibly keyboard and mouse...
