Ksanderash, I am probably a 100% satisfied customer because i went from a "turn of the millenia" 19" iiyama CRT that started to loose its brightness :lol: But as i said in my last post, I have had some firsthand experience with other TFT panels and the g2410 is the best of the bunch. (this is compar...

I have used a g2410 since the end of july and i can not think of any monitor even getting close to it performance wise. The lack of backlight bleed makes moviewatching a joy and the led backlightings continuous light (no flourouscent flickering = no eye strain after a couple of hours). My mother bou...

To rouge: I have never thought about mounting the drives in the 5.25" bays. From a noise point of view i think it would be better because i have completly soundproofed it up there. The thing is that i am really paranoid about heat induced HDD death. I have killed atleast 3 drives that way so seeing ...

The vga temperature has not been a problem so far with the shroud on because its quite a cool running card over all. I do however have the cpu on what i think is the very edge of its thermal capacity. It idles around 45 and normal day use puts it in the 55-58 range. Normal day use means spotify, a b...

Silent nirvana! Old athlon rig gone quiet

YAY! Finally i have a computer that is silent enough. When i started lurking around on these forums a year or so ago i noticed that my computer was a horribly noisy beast that needed to be silenced. System specs: Antec PlusView 1080AMG (modded to hell and back) Abit NF7-S v2.0 nforce2 AMD athlon 250...

Great review as always. As stromgald said, Dell has the G2410 and G2210 in their lineup and those are marketed as green and enviromentaly friendly. If i remember correctly it has the EPEAT gold award to. I bought the G2410 for myself in late july and i am absolutely in love with it. The 4 button men...

I love what you did to the old chieftec! I did a similar mod to my antec 1080 AMG (the same case, more or less) but i have taken my mods to a higher level. I run an old barton 2500+ with an ati 2600 pro AGP and a samsung spinpoint F1 in it :oops: hot as hell (except for the spinpoint). I promise you...
