Find-dialogue opens like it should. I can also type in what file...

So I'm still undecided in what monitor to get and my new, erm... Dilemma, is to go LED or not.
What are peoples thoughts on LED monitors? Is it worth it? Who has changed and wouldn't go back? How about spending the same money on a regular none-LED LCD?
Thanks,
Today I saw a man with something the size of a deck of cards plugged into his usb port. This device had it's own display screen with catagories to choose from. Do you have any idea what this is?

In my old rig, I have a 4 year old corsair h1000x PSU, in a Enormous!!! CM Cosmos case.

Hello everybody!

I am just about to upgrade my system from an old E5300@3.93GHz as it was just not living up to what I needed it to do. Anyway I...
Can anyone recommend a mid-ATX or full tower like the Thermal-take Level 10 GT? I'm looking for a case that differs from a standard (boring) rectangle. I use the Level 10 GT as an example because it stands out from the typical tower you'd find from HP, Acer, etc.
I'm not looking for unique so...

Hello TomsHardWareCommunity!
I pose a challenge to anyone good with choosing mice! I had used my Dell mouse for many years and it was getting old so I bought myself a Logitech G9x - I HATE this mouse with passion. It is so fat and short and it doesn't fit my hand at all! I am strictly an FPS...
I've been spending quite a bit of time selecting a PSU, of course like many I want to get as much bang for my buck and I had been looking at monster 1000w -1200w units. I had to stop and think what my power consumption needs really were. My plans are to get a GTX 560ti and...
Hey all,
I'm sure there's an obvious answer, but I'm finding myself drawing a blank. Why are there different multipliers for CPU's? Why isn't there a standard for this? I know CPU's operate at different speeds, with those multipliers representing the ratio of internal:external speeds, but why...

Hello,
Where can I find engineering measurements for ATX case standards. For example, the the height and spacing of where the expansion boards screw into. Also possibly a template for the motherboard standoff, screw and tap size.
Thank You.

do processor manufacturers use the same dies for desktop and mobile parts
i.e can lets say a 4 core sandy bridge die be used for either a mobile part(by udervolting and underclocking) or a desktop part
BTW how are mobile parts derived, that is are they undervolated underclocked etc

No one seems to be addressing this issue.
From my very limited understanding of this subject if you have an active PFC power supply you need a pure sine wave UPS to actually provide power interruption protection.
Those are quite a bit more expensive.
Is a one of the main benefits of active...
